    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...

    MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 /Sierra) to Mac Studio-best way to migrate?

    Any experts in migrating from an ancient MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 with Sierra OS....) into Mac Studio (current)? What will be the best way? Can I use the Migration Assistance even though the old MacBook Pro is on Sierra? Would my MacBook Pro backup work? Shall I just copy my documents and...

    Looking for a monitor that would work well with both Mac studio and Xbox series x

    This is madness and maybe a silly question but I have researched monitors everywhere. my budget is not very high as I have only just purchased Mac studio so below £500 would be great. I will be mainly using my Mac studio for adobe apps. I also have a series x that I will use the display for...

    HomePods stop working via AirPlay in Ventura

    I have set up my two HomePods as a pair, and I select them in Sound to be used as output for music from for instance Chrome (YouTube). That usually works, until it doesn't... When it stops working, I can select the paired HomePods in Sound, and when I start playing something on YouTube, the...

    Display Port to HDMI or to USB-C ?

    Good morning, I am planning to buy a Mac Studio. I have an EIZO CG223W that has only DVI or Display Port output. I can find both cable/converters (to HDMI or to USB-C). What's the best solution (in terms of quality and port availability on the Mac Studio)? Thanks,

    Display Recommendation for Video Pro?

    I'm a pro video editor and sometime colorist, switching from in-office to remote work and I'm upgrading my desktop setup. I had a 2014 Mac Pro (garbage can) with three Dell U2414H (1920x1080, 24"). I'll be getting a Mac Studio (M1 Ultra) in a few weeks and I'm struggling with resolution, dpi...

    Mac Studio M1 Max 24gpu vs 32gpu

    Hello, I am planning to buy Mac Studio with M1 Max chip, but I don't know if I should choose Apple M1 Max Chip with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine or Apple M1 Max Chip with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine. I would like to ask if there is a big difference in...

    Resolved: Mac Studio Ethernet broken in RC1

    My Mac Studio is connected via WiFi and Ethernet. It's worked great so far, but broke in RC1. It always ends up with a self assigned address. I have tried manual address config, swapped cables with known good cable/ports, deleted all config fiesl and rebooted. Booting into Monterey works...

    That's a different kind of flicker

    Looks more like a Lightning effect than a flicker actually haha. These monitors are supposedly "flicker-free" at 4k and 60Hz. This is an M1 Max Mac Studio with a pair of Dell U2720Q monitors each connected with their own Cable Matters USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cables. Nothing else is connected...

    macOS/Mac Studio display management is driving me insane. No, really.

    I have two Dell P2715Q monitors that I use frequently and a Vizio P65Q9-J01 TV set that I use on occasion, sometimes as a monitor for editing video, and lately because it's the only way I can output 5.1 audio to my receiver without having to buy an expensive audio interface. The HDMI cable from...

    Mac Studio Shows an Ethernet Adapter for the Studio Display

    I was just in the Network preferences for my Mac Studio to verify how to find certain settings and I noticed something strange (at least to me). In the list of network adapters in the left column there was an entry for the Studio Display and it's using a self-assigned IP address. Is this...

    Replacing my Apple MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

    Hi all! New here! Just looking for some advice really. I'm planning to replace my Apple MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) 2.9Ghz 8 GB memory. It's now hitting it's age and slow when logging into macOS for example and it will not support macOS Ventura. I'm trying to decide between...

    Mac Studio not sending video signal to monitor after long time off

    I've had a Mac Studio for two weeks now. While I love it, I've come across a couple of issues I'm not too happy about. One was a kernel panic caused by Onedrive, and to me, no matter how bad a program might be, an OS should be strong enough to kill it and not let it bring the whole system down...

    I managed to extract the marketing screensavers for the Studio Display from an Apple Store demo unit

    I spent a while in a store trying to extract this screen saver after asking an employee and being told he had no idea how to get it or even if they would. After some digging I managed to extract it and airdrop it to my iPhone 😂😂 All of the demo computers run a web server that hosts the...

    Mac Studio with 20 Cores 128GB and 8TB SSD arrived!

    Ordered March 17 and it was shipped May 30 from Shenzhen, but held for 3 days in Hong Kong. 78 days wait. First tests were SSD speeds, and they were twice those from 2019 Mac Pro. (both had the 8TB option) Not too long ago, 3-4 years when 8TB SSD by themselves were over 20K USD. now under 4K...
