    iMac Pro - Disappearing apps after update?

    Hello, base iMac Pro user here. I noticed some strange behaviour after the latest update (or I think after update since it was made just a week ago). Two third party apps are gone. I am the only computer user without anyone else. Spotlight does not find anything related to the two apps...

    Will there new a new sub form for iMac Pro?

    Will there new a new sub form for iMac Pro? We have iMac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini now. The iMac Pro does not fit in any of these 3 categories. Or will we just use the Mac Pro area for the iMac Pro.

    2012 iMac (upgraded) vs 2018 (entry) iMac Pro?

    I have a late 2012 iMac, (upgraded to 32 GB Memory) and Geforce GTX 680MX I do a fair bit of After Effects and 4K video editing work. If I upgrade to an entry-level iMac Pro (3.2GHz 8-core, 32GB Ram, Pro Vega 56) would I notice a substantial performance increase? Thanks.

    iMac Pro Slow Boot - FileVault?

    I picked up a refurbished iMac Pro recently. I set it up and have FileVault running. I noticed when it starts up it takes a very long time (40 seconds +) after I hit the login screen (the one with the icons) before the Bluetooth mouse connects. The loading also feels a little glitchy and the...

    Advice needed for Creative Agency: iMac Pro or iMac 5K?

    At the moment I have an iMac 27” Late 2013 - it’s pretty dead. We handle a lot of video data and post-production. I’m (re-)launching my agency and am investing in new gear (urgently needed). The minimal requirement is at least 1 iMac. It’s even better with 2 iMacs and several MacBooks...

    iMac Pro iMac Pro - CPU - Intel SpeedStep

    Hi there I'm new user of iMac Pro and I would like to understand few things that looks unclear to me and now I'm focusing on CPU speed and Intel SpeedStep. I own 8-core version which from what I discovered (i.a. by HwInfo on Boot Camp) should step down as low as 1200 MHz without load...

    iMac Pro iMac Pro GPU heating up, under no apparent load

    All, Been having a problem that seems to have coincided with the latest Mojave beta update 10.14 Beta (18A347e). All of a sudden, while doing very little, my iMac Pro fans will speed up. My iMac Pro is silent almost always! So I look at TG Pro app, and the GPUs are running near max...

    iMac / iMac Pro upgrade

    Hello, I am in the market for updating my 2008 original unibody MacBook Pro. It has limped along the last couple of years and finally hit software (outside of the OS) limitations. It served me well through college and post-college years, but I am ready for an upgrade. I no longer need the...

    iMac Pro running with El Capitan?

    Hi, I'm a freelance video editor and I'm currently working on a production that uses FCP 7 (Yes... you read that right). I have FCP 7 on my early 2008 Mac Pro, but I bought a new iMac Pro earlier this year and would like to use it for this job. We all know that FCP 7 is now obsolete with High...

    iMac vs. iMac Pro, which one is right for me?

    Hi guys, after long thoughts I decided to ask you Mac specialists. I’d need a new desktop computer for both my video and music production. In terms of video, I work with Premiere Pro and After Effects. The videos that I produce are usually in Full HD, but sometimes I use 4K footage, too. Right...

    iMac Pro Configuring a New iMac Pro

    My current machine is the trashcan Mac Pro (6-core, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD, D700 GPU). I have decided to sell it and buy an iMac Pro. I am a photographer with stills photography as my focus. Mac Pro handles Photoshop CC well. However, I also do 4K video and find that rendering times in FCPX on the...

    Base iMac Pro for HQ video/photo - enough power?

    Hello, despite thinking about upgrading my iMac to regular 5k with 580 GPU card, now there is a chance to get an iMac PRO which probably would suit my needs even better. I am photographer and started creating video footage too, so FCPX, Lightroom and Photoshop are my main programs I use. For now...

    iMac Pro with dual 5k displays?

    HI, Is anyone using a iMac Pro connected to dual LG 5k displays? I know it supports this feature. I have been using a 2016 MacBook Pro running dual LG 5k displays. I have had more problems than I had hoped and way too many hours with Apple support trying to fix the issues.

    Help me configure my imac Pro

    I am a motion designer. I use Cinema 4D and After effects a lot. I can afford one upgrade from the base model. Do I go with 64gb of RAM on an 8core machine? Or should I upgrade to 10 cores but only have 32gb of RAM?
