    Mysterious issue, Graphics card ?

    I have a Mid 2011 iMac that is displaying weird graphics behaviour. Any guidance would be appreciated. This usually happens at the start of the work day and dissipates through the day.

    PDF Contact Sheet Program?

    I'm looking for a program that can take a folder of images and spit out a contact sheet in PDF form. Showing the pictures and (at least) their file names. Being able to configure the amounts of pics per page would be a plus. (I've found a program called "PDF Photo Gallery" but it doesn't do...

    I have a late 2013 intel i5 iMac with 8gb Ram and Nvidia GeForce GT 750m 1024mb graphics card. Will a new M1 iMac with 8 core GPU be better and faster including editing video at 4K?

    MP 1,1-5,1 Screen share/Apple Remote Desktop/other severely slows down the Mac Pro (3,1) being shared

    All I wanna do is run a headless Mac Pro(3,1, with @dosdude1 patch for Mojave). The instant I connect, mouse/keyboard latency becomes intolerably slow, on the Mac Pro itself, whether I'm looking at it through the two MacBooks I tried this with, or sitting in front of the Mac Pro (display...

    Question regarding clarification of shared RAM on M1 Machines.

    Recently I read that ram is shared between the CPU and GPU on M1 processors. Does this mean that some of my ram will be allocated to driving an external display? Wouldn’t the GPU have its own dedicated vram so that it wouldn’t cut into ram allotted to the cpu? 32GB of ram is what I currently...

    How has your 27" 2020 iMac worked for you?

    Has your 2020 27" iMac worked well for you or has it given you trouble? Usually I'm pretty confident with apple hardware but I've had pretty bad graphics issues right out of the gate, since day one, (and before any 3rd party software or RAM was installed.) This has been the opposite experience...

    How much RAM for graphics and music mixing?

    Hi, thanks to covid I am having a hell of a time getting my hands on the new M1 with 16GB of RAM. Do you think there is any chance that 8GB of RAM can do the job? I was using a very old 2011 Macbook for some 2d animations and photoshop and some Garageband stuff, and it almost never crashed...

    Early 2008 iMac 24" GPU Upgrade Options

    Hi there, I've just got an old 2008 24" iMac for £30, and I want to use it for some older-title gaming, web browsing and all the other stuff you do with an older iMac. My only problem is, it has the Radeon HD 2600 Pro which isnt all that great. I've been looking at images of the 2600 and I've...

    Optimal wallpaper dimensions for scaled displays?

    If I have a 4K display scaled to 2560x1440, what should the dimensions of my wallpapers be if I want the crispest background possible? Will 2560x1440 wallpapers look as crisp as the scaled UI on a 4K monitor with native dimensions of 3840x2160? Or should I strive to download 3840x2160 wallpapers?

    2014 27” iMac Retina Graphics Glitches only when external monitor is NOT plugged in?

    Hi guys, my 2014 27” iMac (retina 5k) has been experiencing display glitches such as freezing, screen going black, turning off and rebooting etc. I recently discovered that none of these problems occur when I have an external monitor plugged in.. Could it be due to the graphics switching from...
