    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...

    M3-based Mac Studio GPU specs

    Hello everybody I’d appreciate hearing any thoughts you have on the likely spec of the M3-based Mac Studio. Background: I have a 2013 Mac Pro that I use for a couple of workloads implemented using OpenCL (as well as an Nvidia Jetson Orin developer kit on which I run CUDA-based versions). I am...

    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. My M1 Mac Studio light started flashing orange, requiring the SSD and logic board to be replaced. The Mac was returned with Ventura...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...
