This macOS update is also affecting other applications such as some products of the Adobe family. Therefore, if you update your operating system to macOS Catalina any MathType 7.x or older version will stop running. Unfortunately, the new macOS version (Catalina) has removed several components which MathType 7.x and previous versions depend on. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Update: I got the following response from Wiris Support (no current ETA for Catalina support):
It does not support any TeX packages, so without amsmath, it may frustrate more than reward. It is a nail biting alternative to MathType, and does not address existing MathType equations, but does give one in-line equations.
#MATHTYPE FOR MAC FROM APPLE STORE INSTALL#
If the second paragraph is a bust, you are looking at a clean install of a supported, prior operating system to replace Catalina, and without a backup, you will lose all data on the existing Catalina installation.Īpple's built-in, aenemic, equation solution is a C++ compiled translator that either passes through MathML, or translates a subset of syntax into MathML objects in Pages v7.1 and later. I say in theory as obviously, I have not done this with a retreat from Catalina.
In theory, you would boot into Recovery and select Restore from Time Machine Backup to wipe the Catalina drive and restore everything as it was before the upgrade. You can go back to Mojave, or High Sierra - provided that you performed a last Time Machine backup prior to the upgrade, and that you did not reuse that same Time Machine drive to backup Catalina. Then things start to go downhill if you only have one Mac. Vendors have had an extended timeframe to prepare 64-bit applications, so waiting for MathType 8 could be tedium. The least pain approach would be a second Mac running High Sierra, or Mojave, and Pages v8.1 with MathType 7.
