    Checked out the Mac Studio at the Apple Store

    On my way to buy some groceries I stopped by the Apple store to check out the new Mac Studio. I didn't have to walk too far in the store and was greeted by it sitting on one of the tables at the front accompanied by a Studio Display, wireless keyboard and magic trackpad. My initial...

    How long will I wait for a replacement? Seems my Mac Studio is defective

    I received a Mac Studio yesterday from the Apple Store online. I reported the problem to Support and asked for a replacement. My Mac Studio has a custom configuration. I wonder if I will be given priority or if the replacement order has fallen to the end of the order list? The date at the time...

    One Mac Studio Two Separate Usage

    Hello everyone, I will be moving to a new house soon. My wife and I are working on software development. One of the things I was wondering is, can we buy 1 mac studio and use it separately? Don't make the suggestion that you can buy a new mac studio because it's really hard to buy in Turkey ...

    Mac Studio M1 Max - High Pitched Whining Fans / Fan Motor

    My Mac Studio arrived today: M1 Max 32 Core GPU 64GB Ram 2TB SSD At the default 1300ish RPM speed there is a noticeable high pitched whining sound. Actual fan whoosh is barely noticeable (similar to my very quiet 12-Core Mac Pro 2019 sitting on the floor which this is supposed to replace). But...

    Apple SuperDrive under Mac Studio - works well + helps w/ wobble under Studio display

    For the longest time I still can not get away from DVDs so I still use the Apple SuperDrives with all my devices. I tried to put my USB-C docking hub (Black Magic USB2000) underneath but was wobbly. So I placed the SuperDrive under the Mac Studio to prevent the Studio from wobbling due to the...

    What do you think of this Mac Studio peripherals setup? And how to attach 2nd display?

    I plan on upgrading to a Mac Studio Max. To figure out what I need exactly I made a diagram of the stuff I plan to attach: What do you think? Does this make sense? Anything I can optimise? One big problem: How do I attach my old Apple Cinema Display (Mini Displayport & USB A) which I want to...

    How to connect old Apple Cinema Display 27"? Daisy chain to Studio Display?

    I would like to keep using my old Mini Displayport 27" Apple Cinema Display (from ca. 2011) as a secondary monitor on the Mac Studio. From my initial research it seems like HDMI to Mini Displayport adapters are problematic. I would also like to avoid using one of the Thunderbolt 4 ports as I...

    Advice about data transfer to new Mac Studio from 2017 iMac

    Info: I have a 2017 iMac running High Sierra 10.13.6 Because I have a work laptop that is using Monterey, I never upgraded the iMac OS (partly due to not enough memory available on the internal SSD hard drive!). We use the iMac mainly for internet, mail and Photo/movie management. A long time...

    Magenta / Pink Screen Kernel Panic - Mac Studio Ultra

    Any chance anyone here can help me figure out what is causing these kernel panics on my new Mac Studio Ultra? I will paste a bit of the log here. The entire screen turns a magenta pink and then the machine reboots. The suspicious bit to me is the part stating "nCORE 11 is the one that panicked."...

    Will I need an external scratch disk?

    I am doing photo and video editing as well as some 3d (Blender) and will be updating from a 2010 Mac Pro. In the Mac Pro I use a dedicated 1TB SATA SSD as a scratch disk for caches and such. I was taught that it's always best to keep a scratch disk that is physically separate from the system...

    Display compatibility and Mac Studio

    It appears that the M1 Max chip still have some kinks with certain displays. Tell us your experiences. I'll start with my own. I have the base model Mac Studio (M1 Max) and the Dell UP3218K (7680x4320 / 8K / 4K HiDPI). The display uses two DP1.4 connections where each drive half the panel...

    Mac Studio Max - it's not that quiet

    I bought a Mac Studio Max. It’s replacing a mid 2010 iMac running off an external SSD (a real trooper) and joining forces with my MBP 16 inch. Let me start off by saying that I've been so excited for the Studio. It's what I have wanted from Apple for a long time. From what I had read in the lead...

    Is 16gb Enough?

    I have a 2013 Mac Pro right now and I've been pretty happy with it for a long time except for the gpu situation. Now that there is an upgrade path for me I'm a bit lost on my next steps. I'm disappointed by the decisions Apple has made with the Mac Studio however it's the only way to go past...

    Anyone else "downgrading" from a 2019 Mac Pro?

    I waited years to upgrade my 2011 MBP to a dedicated Mac tower. I loved the 5,1s but wanted too wait for the new iteration. Then when the 7,1 was launched in 2019 the price was insane, but for better or worse I decided I'd waited long enough and I had the money even if it was overkill. I've had...
