    iMac Pro 10.13.4 Update Changed The iMac Pro's Fan Behavior

    Updated to MacOS 10.13.4 last night, and I'm noticing quite a difference in the way the internal fan is working. Before, you'd never hear it at all until it kicked in under a HEAVY load, then it would run at maximum until it reached some preset temp, and would suddenly fade out. Now, the fan...

    Hey, I’m thinking about getting an iMac Pro and I’m hoping that I can continue to use my Dell 2715K display as a second screen, but I cannot find a definitive answer on whether it’ll work. I asked Apple Support about it and they linked me to this: http://apple.co/1OygOoT I found this part in...

    iMac Pro 2017 iMac Pro FaceTime major issue

    So I thought I'd share with the group. FaceTime is broken on my iMac Pro (and a few others I've tested on). :( I've been on a roller coaster the last month with Apple Support and the Apple Store. I purchased an iMac Pro 27" (8 core) from my local Microcenter in late January. (see this last...

    iMac Pro Has anyone taken in their iMac Pro to have the memory upgraded?

    Just curious if anyone has taken theirs to an Apple Store or authorized service provider, and what the process was like. Did you just walk in with your iMac Pro, some RDIMMs, and leave it with them? Do you have to buy their RAM?

    Offsite/Transport NAS

    What are my options or advice for transporting a NAS (Synology718+) home from work everyday so my various devices can have an offsite backup? Transport will be short 5min and in theory I don't see a problem with taking it with me when I leave work. I've recently started in the printing/design...

    iMac Pro iMac Pro Intel Xeon W-2150B Throttling

    It seems to be a hot topic when discussing the performance for the Intel Xeon W-2150B (3GHz 10 core). I have spent a lot of time on these forums reading and hearing personal experiences and opinions regarding both the 8 and 10 Core variants. In an attempt to make it easier for myself and...

    iMac Pro iMac Pro 18C: 6 hours of use and dead

    I received my iMac Pro all extras (18 cores, 128 GB RAM, 4 TB and Vega 64) and installed it on Monday. While working on my previous machine (a 2010 Mac Pro), the machine launched its screensaver and then went to sleep (as expected). Suddenly, the fans started to run full speed. The machine was...

    iMac Pro iMac Pro - March 6th Update To Vega Drivers

    Looks like there was an update the iMac Pro's Vega drivers in this last system update. Pleasingly, I can now use my Vega 64 for all of the operations in Photoscan without crashing, and I haven't yet run into the disappearing menu bars bug. However, in looking at my processing times, the Vega...

    iMac Pro iMac Pro 2017 Physical Security

    Does anyone know of any way to physically secure a 2017 iMac Pro? Unlike regular iMacs, it doesn't appear to have a Kensington slot. There are third party locks which attach to the stand, but the stand is removable... I thought the official Apple VESA mount might be the answer, but from...

    iMac Pro What if....Merging the Mac Pro and iMac Pro Family

    Just a thought...... I've seen very little about what exactly is meant by "modular" for the new MacPro. I was just giving it a little thought and was wondering what that might mean. Assuming the the modular aspect heavily leverages TB3 as it connection means, It seems that a convergence between...

    iMac Pro Dual/triple monitor suggestions for iMac Pro?

    Trying to get my iMac Pro setup such that I have secondary monitors placed on the left and right sides of the iMac. The Apple USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter doesn't support video, so I purchased a Sonnet USB-C to Dual DisplayPort adapter and attached my previous 24" screens. Sadly, this made for...

    iMac Pro - Parallels or VMware Fusion

    While I used Macbook and iOS devices for quite a while, I just moved as my main machine from a 6 core i7 Windows to iMac Pro (10 core, 64 GB RAM). I couldn't be happier with the switch with the power of the machine and how quiet it is. However I have instances where I still need some Windows...
