I've been running Blender 2.90.1, everything is fine.

Just downloaded the Blender 3.3.0 install file (blender-3.3.0-macos-arm64.DMG) and I get this dialog box.

My mac's spec.

Any idea why I can't install it?

    $\begingroup$ uhm...if you have an intel processor - shouldn't you download the intel version instead of arm version? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hi Chris, thanks for getting back to me. This is the version Blender directs me to and states 'mac intel' in the download in the description. The only other mac option is 'Apple Silicon' so have to assume the download filename is correct. Thanks for your comments though. $\endgroup$

Since you have an Intel Processor, you should download the Intel version of Blender, not the ARM version. The filename when downloaded should be: blender-3.3.0-macos-x64.dmg
