Configuring mavericks macbookpro17 or newer macs for correct 10bit dreamcolor

I cannot get a good answer for required configuration to get true 10 bit input to my new DreamColor display.
The monitor lets me select 709, p3, AdobeRGB and the display changes appropriately, but it is not clear if I am getting 8 or 10 bit input over displayport. I am using several applications, but for one specific example Adobe CC Photoshop in 16 bit per color mode and AdobeRGB color space with DreamColor monitor also in AdobeRGB color space. (I also have daVinci Resolve 0/11, Adobe CC PRemiere, Speedgrade, FCP, etc.).
The monitor does not display bits on input. There are no errors, but elsewhere I have seen comments that:
No Apple product can support 10bits out regardless of configuration
Custom hardware that normally allows 10 bit output does not work with DreamColor because it does not output RGB progressive, etc.
Looking for some engineering facts not theoretical or hearsay.
If it only workes with a particular combination of MAC and/or external adapters - okay, but would like to see less expensive also if it provides acceptable 10bit input to DreamColor.
Want to use DaVinci or similar products to color grade. I might do a final review in a commercial grading studio, but I want to get as close as possible before that. Also need for photography where output will go to 10/12 bit calibrated printer.
Thanks,
Mike

  • No "New Mac for My Mac". Leopard not finding disk, Apple doesn't care...

    After several years and several Macs I hit my first major bump with Apple. Today, I felt like I was back in my days of owning a windows machine. (Well, not really.)
    I decided to update my G4 Quicksilver (2002). It's a 933Mhz. I installed the max RAM (1.5G). And ordered a new hard drive and OSX Leopard. I didn't want to do an upgrade, but a clean install. And I figured I would install on a larger drive instead of the 50G drive that came with my Mac.
    Using Apples site as a reference for upgrading to a SATA drive. I bought a Sonnet controller and a Seagate 500G drive. Both installed quickly and without any trouble, my Tiger disk mounted the new drive. And in Disk utility I partitioned the new drive.
    BUT, when I tried to install Leopard, and it rebooted to the setup screen, it never sees the new drive. I found this problem repeated on several forums and I have tried all of the suggestions. They did not work for me.
    As a test, I put my Tiger install disk in, and it sees the new drive immediately. But Leopard does not.
    I called Apple support. Long story short, when they could not figure out what was going on, (and pretending they have never heard of this problem) their answer to me was, "Since you are not trying to install Leopard on your original hard drive, we can not give you any support".) When I argued that all I had done was install a larger hard drive, like everyone does, and that this Retail Leopard Disk was sold as a "New Mac for your Mac", they didn't care either.
    So, it doesn't matter how long you have been a loyal customer. Or how many systems you have registered with Apple. Or how many of your friends and family you switch over to Macs. The bottom line here, is well, their "bottom line". If I really want a "New Mac", I need to buy a "New Mac". That's basically what I was told. Never mind that I do have several Macs. I just wanted update this one.
    I am very disappointed in Apple right now. I paid for this G4, I paid for the 3 year support plan, which I never used. I paid for this Leopard software. But because I wanted a larger drive, they tossed me aside.
    So, having said all that. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.
    Things I have tried that did not work are the "set and wait" solution. I waited over 2 hours and the disk never mounted.
    I tried Disk Utility in the setup and it doesn't see the drive. I tried Terminal. It sees the drive but not as a partitioned drive. And it won't mount the drive.
    I thought I might install Tiger, then upgrade it to Leopard. I would like a clean install. Not sure what will happen if I choose "erase and install".
    Having said all that, I do still think Apple is number one. But they need to fix this issue fast.
    Thanks in advance,
    TroyD.

    Ok, here is an update of what I had to do.
    I did as requested and contacted Sonnet. I already have the current firmware. But they told me this problem showed no real pattern. Some people had this issue, others did not. What I ended up doing works so far.
    I installed a clean version of Leopard on one of my current ATA drives. Though I did encounter the "Blue Screen", once I forced it to reboot, things seem to work and I have not had the blue screen again. I ran all the updates to Leopard and rebooted back into my first ATA drive which runs Tiger.
    Then, I used SuperDuper to clone copy the fresh install of Leopard from the ATA drive to the new SATA drive that Leopard could not see before. Then, I set the new SATA drive as the startup disk and rebooted. So far so good. I haven't done much with it yet, but it seems "snappier" and I have high hopes that it will give me what I was looking for. (A slightly faster G4).

  • Getting new Mac for Aperture and have a question...

    I totally realize that this is a personal preference with no "wrong" way to do it. However, I would appreciate some thoughts so I can form a better idea of how I will set up an Aperture workflow that will work for me for a long time and how to configure my new iMac.
    I use the referenced library workflow and store both my masters and Aperture library on my current internal drive with both backed up to externals. I'm getting a new Mac with the SSD drive for apps and OS (and Aperture library as well). The question is, should I get the mega 2 TB internal HDD along with that SSD for all my masters (which would also include my music and home-made movies)?
    My current photo storage adds up to only 130GB right now and grows slowly. I don't even think I would double that in the next year. I realize that if I had, say, a 1.5 TB size Masters library, the the answer would be obvious that I would need to store externally because the iMac HDD isn't big enough. But that isn't my situation.
    But since I would be able to fit all my photos on an internal HDD (2TB) to use as referenced, is there a better reason to skip the internal 2TB HDD and just get hooked up with some good, high-speed external system and stick with an internal SSD to just handle the OS, music, and apps? In other words, all my media (photos and movies) would always be stored AND edited from an external drive (I will actually edit on the SSD and then move the referenced files to the external). This means that from now on all new Macs I ever get will only need a moderate sized SSD for OS and apps. I would basicallt forever keep all things media on externals.
    I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help with this.

    One other thing... the only way for me to get a 1GB VRAM now is to buy the top-of-the-line iMac. That's the issue.
    I've seen that also. That's why I added the "If you can wait.." statement.
    If you need to purchase before say late October, then the specs you list for the 21" iMac are quite good and the possibility of developers designing GPU threads that require caching in the VRAM may or may not need amounts beyond 512 MB. The fact that Apple offers an upgrade to the 2 GB VRAM video adapter on their high-end machine tells me that they know that the Pro Apps will be able to take advantage of that amount (not that it is necessary for the enthusiast looking to have a good Aperture experience).
    SierraDragon has much more experience than I with Aperture, so he may be able to shed some light on this one.
    For my part, I run a 17" MacBook Pro (late 2011) which has the 2.5 Ghz i7, 8 GB Apple provided RAM, and the AMD 6770 with 1 GB VRAM. I installed an OWC 480 GB SSD and I am connected to the Apple Thunderbolt Display (because this machine only offers a Thunderbolt port to connect video signals with). Aperture runs fine on my machine (although for some reason cropping takes a couple of seconds now, where it was immediate before the AP 3.3 update). I run Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 without any issues on this machine, so it is definitely capable of running in a professional environment.
    Since your specs call-out a 2.8 Ghz i7, 16+ GB RAM and an SSD, I personally would not hesitate to purchase that machine if you need to purchase soon. I just mentioned the 1 GB VRAM due to your wanting to be able to handle 4+ years of updates to the OS and software. That doesn't mean the 512 GB VRAM won't work great, just that the 1 GB VRAM would be additional insurance (sort of like Apple Care).

  • Do I need a new Apple ID if I want iMovie/iLife on my new Mac for free?

    Just last month, I bought my new Macbook with Retina. This is my first Mac - previously, I used PC. When I still had my PC, I had an Apple ID for when I used iTunes on there.
    I keep reading that new Macs come with iLife, and for a school project, I need a video editing software - in this case, iMovie. I synced my Apple ID with this Mac, and when I go to the appstore, it wants to charge $15 for it, even though it supposedly comes with my Mac purchase. When I looked up how to get it, every other place says that my appstore should offer it, but I don't see it.
    Am I doing something wrong, or does the whole "free iLife with a new Mac purchase" thing not apply anymore?

    So I managed to talk to someone on live chat support, and a detail I forgot about was that this computer was bought by someone else before me, but returned almost immediately, and apparently the reason why I don't have iLife is because this computer was previously synced with that person's apple ID before they returned the computer.
    According to that chat, I am no longer able to get iLife. I'm supposing this is the case, since I looked again through my apps and my appstore and I still see nothing for iLife or iWorks.

  • How do i authorize my new mac for purchases

    just got a new mac and need to authorize it for my itunes account how do I do that?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Got a new Mac for Christmas, need to sync with new iTunes...

    I had a Dell PC, and I got a MacBook for Christmas. I have an iPod Touch that already has songs, videos and pictures on it that are in my iTunes library on my PC. How do I get these files onto my new Mac?

    I have the same situation. I've already copied my iTunes library from my PC to CD's. I added my husband as a user on my new Mac and now has an empty library. I believe my next step is to copy the music files to the library, but what about the iPod Touch? Do I have to connect it to the PC and restore it first so that when I connect it to my Mac it will re-format for OS X? This is how I did it for my iPod Classic, but I've read several articles that the Touch doesn't work the same as the Classic. There are too many contradictory posts out there. Please advise with the easiest way to do this. Thanks in advance.

  • How good are the new Macs for Logic?

    I've read some damning articles about some problems with the new macs/os selling now, esp running Logic.
    Any ideas on what a fellow traveller should buy?
    Is it worth the trouble right now?
    Should one wait until the issues are resolved?
    What should one do if one needed a working DAW right NOW?
    Thanks for any input.
    Happy holidays to all.

    What problems especially are you talking about? new macs not working together with Logic pro 9?
    I'm using Logic 9 and i'm having my problems with it, but what i've been experiencing is that normally the mac is not the problem, it's logic 9 itself, or maybe the programming.
    but if you want to be mobile with your equipment, i'd recommend a macbook pro with quite a bit of ram and a fast hard drive. (7.200 rpm, something like a seagate barracuda).
    from my experience apple is not very fast when it comes to fixing bugs in logic but so far 9.0.2 is working pretty stable. another option would be to use cubase, or digital performer as daw?

  • Need advice on new mac for video editing.

    Hello!  I'm throwing $4,000 down on a new iMac to use for video editing and various other design purposes.  I'm maxing it out with a 3.75ghz quad core intel i7, 32 gigs of ram, 4 gigs of video ram and a 1t sold state hard drive.  With being a creative cloud subscriber  and updates being rolled out constantly, as a video editor do you think i'll get at least 5-7 years out of this mac.  I also do 3d animates with after effects and cinema 4d.  Thanks!  Any advice and feedback is greatly appreciated.

    I made last updates to PC configuration (updates - bold) and soon going to buy. So... maybe final check:
    CPU:  Intel Core i7-3930K 3.2GHz
    Cooler:  Corsair Hydro H70

    * Due to a limited budget, at the beginning I'll use HDD's in non-RAID configuration or will build RAID0 based on MB RAID controller

  • LaCie Won't Mount With Mavericks. Any New Leads For Remedy?

    I know this question has been asked many times. I've tried the Lacie website, can not get an answer, and a lot of the answers to this question are dated. LaCie won't mount. What Can I Do? Any suggests for an external that is compatible with Maverick, and works???!!!!

    The problem is that it won't mount after it has been unmounted. A friend of mine who's a Mac Repairman told me that it could be a number of things...
    he told me to check if any smells were coming from the drive...
    nope. check.
    If the fan had stopped working... nope. check.
    If it's a problem being caused by the enclosure.... that i'm going to check on.
    I called TekServe in Manhattan and when i get paid, i'm going to see if that's the case.
    But they want 1200.00 for data retrieval in a worse case scenario... and i'm going to shop around for that one. I have a feeling that they corner the market in that area for Mac repair and they probably feel they can charge whatever they want and people will pay.
    1200.00 is another computer. I'd rather do my research before shelling out that kind of dough.
    I had unwittingly unmounted my first external 3 years ago .... it's a Wacom, and it mounted with no problem after literally a minute.
    So i don't know why this LaCie is giving me problems.
    So i'll try changing enclosures and check out reports for the companies with the best all-around reports on their externals before i buy.
    It may not last forever, but i should get better than an external HD's "refusal" to mount once unmounted.
    It just doesn't make sense.
    Besides, i have a feeling that my computer won't register it's existence if it doesn't mount to make itself known.
    Tell me if i'm off.
    BUt i will consider the other programs that you guys have suggested.

  • Best new mac for Photoshop CS5/6

    I bought Photoshop CS5 and 6 prior to having a mac they could work on as I wanted to future proof myself against the cloud based system ( lets not go there )
    Now my G5 PPC main HD had died suddenly and as the new MacPro is imminent I have lots of options , but would appreciate advice on which to go for - I will be using it for Lightroom and photoshop exclusively for photgraphy ( apart from browsing ) so don't want to waste money on a system that is way beyond my needs ,  i.e. no need for a mac with functions that the se applications can't leverage. I have a 20" sceen but kinda , sorta fancy having another screen, but not absolutely needed
    My choices are, as I see them, 27 imac i7,, mac mini, macpro (when available)
    I'm not in a rush so can wait for the new MacPro, but suspect it might be overkill fr waht I would use it for
    any advice much appreciated
    thanks

    Probably a 2009  or  2010  would do find and save 1/2 the price.
    48-128GB  RAM are cheaper  and easier on those older  Mac Pro
    The new one is expensive and over kill
    you can upgrade as needed the parts you need, and you can still run 10.6.8 and not  be forced onto 10.9
    SSDs, SSD PCIe controller(s) help a lot with Lightroom, Aperture, CS scratch volumes and fast boot drive.

  • Best Way to Set up new Macs for Windows Servers

    I am trying to get 5 new iMacs set up to my schools servers running Windows Server 2003. No one else has time to set these lovely machines up and I have no expereince doing any sort of networking. I need to get the machines to login to student accounts and save all the prefence changes and such there and not on the computers. According to my boss this was where they were having problems when trying to set them up. So if anyone has any good tutorials or such they could pass on to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

    The problem with all these instructions that i found when setting up our network is that they all rely on you having a Win2k and a OSX server. This is not the case i think for many of us in small/medium size organizations. We have OSX clients, but not a server nor a spare OSX workstation to make a server out of. Now im sure these various documents can be modified to fit this client only situation but i have been unable to find anyone that has done so yet. I intend to do it myself at soem point but havent found the time yet. We run a mixed network at the office with win2k3 domain but we dont have out mac clients bound to it yet.
    Having said that he best peice of documentation Ive found has been over at bombich.com:

  • ICloud useable as server instead of buying new Mac for that purpose?

    If I buy a new iPad Air will I be able to abandon my 4year old Sony laptop, and use the former's full access to iCloud as the server for my 2 older iPads (1 & 3 models)?
    Such things as iTunes and iBooks come to mind.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ian

    In theory, you do not need a computer at all in order to use an iPad and yes you can use iCloud exclusively as a backup solution. What you cannot use iCloud for is an external storage area from which you can upload or download selective content. In other words, you cannot upload 3 photos to iCloud nd then download two of them back to the device. You cannot download any one backed file from iCloud either.
    iCloud backups everything on your iPad that you purchase from the iStores and all of the data that is associated with those apps. iCloud will not store non iTunes purchased videos, synced photos from your computer, and content of that type.
    You can use iCloud with the original iPad and the iPad 3. Those are the two iPads that I happen to own and I can use iCloud with both of them.
