    Mac Studio M2 Max Tripping my AFCI Breaker?

    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...

    What computer should I get

    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...

    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?

    Portable SSD as permanent external storage for my Mac Studio

    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...

    Migration from 8TB 5K iMac to Mac Studio?

    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...

    M2 Ultra - 3.48 GHz instead of 3.66 GHz

    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...

    Catastrophic M1 Studio collapse: does a silicon mac reboot exist?

    Thanks for previous discussions concerning the uncertainties of using Super Duper or Carbon Copy to create rebootable disks of the operating system and programs.

    Mac Studio cannot import photos or videos into a FCP Event when the Photos library is located on a DAS.

    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...

    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...

    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...

It does not see Magic Keyboard Touch, Magic Touchpad II, or Magic Mouse II. It's wired mode only. - On the...
