    Mac Studio (M1, M2), Noise: Let Us Summarize

    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...

    MacBook Pro buying help for backend/ 8k editing

    I'm having difficulty deciding between two machines that will meet my requirements. I work for a startup doing backend programming and machine learning. On the other hand, I recently purchased an 8k camera and intend to shoot real estate videos for clients as well as some wildlife photography...

    27" LED Cinema Display to Mac Studio

    I'm upgrading from a 2013 Mac Pro to the new M2 Ultra Mac Studio and I have 2 27" LED Cinema Displays that I want to keep. In theory it should be as easy as connecting Mini DisplayPort to USB-C converters between the displays and the Mac Studio, but someone in another forum said that for...

    Which Mac Studio for music production? Max M2 vs. Ultra M2

    Hi everyone, which M2 studio would you choose for music production (logic pro)? The single core appears to be identical, but the M2 Ultra's multi-core CPU is significantly better. Is the surcharge worth it? I run really heavy logic projects with tons of plugins ;) Do you think 64GB RAM...

    M2 Ultra Mac Studio - Airdrop and Handoff Not Working

    Anyone else having this issue on 13.4? My iPhone XR will not see my new M2 Ultra Mac Studio for Airdrop or Handoff. Using the iPhone as a FaceTime camera works perfectly and the iPhone is running the latest 16.5 iOS. I know AirDrop is working on my iPhone because it sees my wife's iPhone just...

    I need help making a buying decision!!

    I have a 2013 27 inch iMac and it has gotten so slow as I upgrade to new Mac OS operating systems. I need to buy a new desktop computer very soon but I’m getting tired waiting around for the new iMacs to be released. Now they say they may be released in November! It’s only been over 800 days...

    👋Hi, I am facing a problem with Safari, as a designer working with different fonts for my work, I use Google Fonts from time to time, but last time when I wanted to find a font for my work on Google Fonts, I just don't see their fonts and I don't know how to solve this problem, I am facing the...

    13.3.1 on Mac Studio - Bluetooth madness

    Not sure, what is going on with my Mac Studio. But with the latest update, the BlueTooth connectivity to Apple devices has taken a hit: - Don't even try to log in over BLE after a reboot. It does not see Magic Keyboard Touch, Magic Touchpad II, or Magic Mouse II. It's wired mode only. - On the...

    M1 Ultra gpu broken?

    After 9 months my Mac Studio M1 Ultra suddenly started displaying the screen bisected in two with a different colour cast on each side. Apple has said to bring it in with no suggestion of software fixes etc so I'm guessing this is a hardware issue - there doesn't seem to be anything on the web...

    FCP hangs forever on opening scanning AUs

    The whole "Apple Experience" is getting really sour on me. I have defended Macs and Apple to all the Apple haters for years, but I'm done. There's the pathetic display management assigning monitor roles at random, but at least that one you can correct, even if you do so hundreds of times. But...

    Here's proof that Apple makes your life miserable with poor display management and doesn't do anything about it.

    There’s no denying the impact that Apple has had in computer technology for the past 40 years. And macOS is in most aspects, the best operating system available today, and it keeps getting better. At the same time, Macs are at a point in time where they are incredibly fast thanks to the M1 and...

    I have been wrestling with the loss of PCIe on the new Macs, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. *Hold my Beer*

    Printing from Mac Studio M1

    Bear with me while I set this up... I am working on a new Mac Studio M1, purchased in December 2022. Since I have been on this machine, I have had tons of different issues with a lot of different applications in the Ventura OS, but have squared away most issues by backtracking to Monterey...

    MP All Models How to future proof Mac Pro (7,1) vs Mac Studio?

    I am in the market for a 2nd hand  Desktop. Looking to upgrade from my cMP (using Monterey [OC]) I am considering a MP 7.1 or a Mac Studio. Of course Mac studio is considerably cheaper than a MP 7.1, however, it will have a shorter shelf life due to its lack of upgradability where as MP...

    for non-pro FCP editor - 24 v 32 GPU?

    I keep seeing the Mac Studio refurbished units pop up on Apple - and it's rare to find the 32 GPU with 64 RAM. If I'm using FCP, LR, Photoshop is 24 enough for me? Thank you for your help. I'm presently on a M1 Mac Mini and was close to going for the M2 Pro but leaning toward the Mac Studio...

    New Mac Studio M2 Max price hike?

    The new Mac Mini M2 Pro with 32Gb/1TB costs more than $2200 now, more than the Mac Studio M1 Max with the same 32GB memory and 1TB storage. I guess Mac Studio M2 Max may start at $2999, $1000 more expensive.

    M2 Macbook Air connected to 4k Monitor Multitasking = Deaths Door

    Was thinking about getting a Mac Studio with M1 Max but concerned about speed. It's already been almost a year and Intel's 13th Gen are looking like a way better value prop. Thought I should at least hook up my M2 Macbook Air to a 4k monitor and open all my usual multitasking stuff to see how...

    Mac Studio multi display management: Rinse and repeat 10+ times a day

    It shouldn’t be this hard. In fact, it should be “super easy; barely an inconvenience!” as the Quebecois says on YouTube. The module or whatever you want to call it, in macOS, detects the connected displays. In some cases, two or more of the displays are the same brand, model and year, because...

    external SSD as a boot drive?

    Im thinking of getting the standard MacStudio, without upgrading the drive to the 1TB SSD. Better to save $300 and keep the 512GB drive that comes as standard cause i already have an external 1TB SSD and i was thinking of using it as a primary drive to boot connecting it using a MacStudio TBbolt...

    Mac Studio - Not eligible for AppleCare

    Hey, everyone! I bought a Mac Studio straight from Apple in June and I can’t get Apple Care for it. I keep getting this message: “This device is not eligible for additional coverage.” I’ve called support, but they couldn’t do anything about it or tell me why this is happening. I’m in Brazil...
