mac studio

My Mac Studio has had problems with displaying the wallpaper on wake from sleep since new (Apr 2022). Since then some symptoms have gone and others arisen. At present on wake from sleep: the Desktop is black i.e. no wallpaper; the Dock, which is hidden, cannot be displayed; the Switcher does...

I am thinking about buying a Mac Studio. I understand it's not upgradeable at all (after you buy). I know Apple has launched a few products recently and then stopped making them. The 12" MacBook comes to mind. I don't want to buy a product that may get discontinued around the corner. So, I am...

After a bit of help!! I have a 2022 Mac Studio M1 Max. It has started not booting up. When I press the power button the white light flashes on for about a second,the fans kick in and then it shuts down. Very occasionally it will load all the way through and when it does the studio runs fine and...

I have two old 27" Apple LED Cinema Displays that have power and the cable that slips into USB-A, MiniDisplay, and the magnetic alternate power option. That all runs out the back of the monitors. I'm currently using a 2013 Mac Pro (trash can) and will be finally upgrading to the current Mac...

if I connect a monitor of another brand to a mac studio or mac mini will 144 hz and True Tone work?

As much as I adore my Mac Pro, with her amazingly cool looks and classic beauty, it is a bit poky in the big scheme of things now, and I am thinking of divorcing her and moving on to a Mac Studio. The current 6 core Pro has 64 GB of ram and 1 TB of internal storage, and my frugal plans are to...

I am thinking of upgrading my beloved trash can to a Mini M or a Studio. My 1 tb trashcan is about half full, and I can easily manage my files that way. Looking at the used Mini/Studio market, the 500 gb models are way cheaper and more numerous, so I am thinking of how to live with a smallish...

Posting in case anyone has encountered this before. I've used a spare bedroom as a home office for the past three years. The power outlets are on a AFCI breaker (which are notorious for being very sensitive and 'nuisance tripping'). I've use multiple macbooks, a mac mini, and now a mac studio...

I’m helping my sister buy a new home computer. She loves photography and takes lots of high resolution photos of wildlife and nature as a hobby. She wants a good computer system that will last her another 6-7 years and that’s not slow. She’s currently getting that spinning beach ball on her 2015...

Hello, This post is mainly for UX/graphic professionals working from home on an iMac and needing an upgrade. Do you really need to buy the Apple Studio + Studio Display, if you're on a budget? Wanted to share our experience and discuss. My wife is a UX/graphic designer and she's been using...

The M1 era has significantly boosted the Mac lineup, with several powerful desktops to choose from. How does the Mac Studio stand out among these options, particularly regarding performance and value?

I need reasonably fast external storage for my Mac Studio and am sort of new to this as before I had all my drives internally in an old Mac Pro (6 drives in total...). For now I do not want to go with the most expensive options due to budget concerns and I also do not want to "build" it myself...

Hello, I'm using a Retina 5K 27" Late 2014 iMac equipped with a 8TB SSD. This computer is struggling to keep up with the latest software and macOS (it's running Sonoma via OpenCore), and for years I've been hoping Apple would restart selling a 27" Retina iMac, but as everyone knows, that's not...

Hello everyone, I installed my new Mac Studio yesterday, with an M2 Ultra, 60 core GPU and 64 Gb memory. Today I tried a benchmark, specifically Geekbench 6, and I was surprised by the value of the processor frequency and benchmark result. Instead of the expected 3.66 GHz, it shows only 3.48...

Hello everybody I’d appreciate hearing any thoughts you have on the likely spec of the M3-based Mac Studio. Background: I have a 2013 Mac Pro that I use for a couple of workloads implemented using OpenCL (as well as an Nvidia Jetson Orin developer kit on which I run CUDA-based versions). I am...

Thanks for previous discussions concerning the uncertainties of using Super Duper or Carbon Copy to create rebootable disks of the operating system and programs. My M1 Mac Studio light started flashing orange, requiring the SSD and logic board to be replaced. The Mac was returned with Ventura...

Hi guys I'm trying to search if theres a way that I can continue my work on macbook straight on Mac Studio seamlessly without having to copy the file over to another device. For eg if I'm working on a premier project on macbook and wish to continue it on a more powerful machine

I have been working with Apple Support since June 24. When dragged into the Project timeline it a) comes over black, b) has a red banner message about missing remote data, c) come over in a very very low resolution and d, once in a blue moon come over as expected. This is the same set up that...

Hi Folks, I was on the verge of ordering a new M2 mini kinda 'maxed' out (24Gb/1Tb) for 1450 (all prices in euros). Now, some other options have emerged. A base Studio (M1) for 1800 (very good price for a studio, since in EU we have VAT). A base Studio (M2) for 2000. I'm leaning toward the...
