3D Studio on new Macbook pro 2014

Hi everyone, I work a lot on 3D Studio Max on windows and I was looking to switch to Mac. Does anyone know how the performanece would be affected since its a windows program?
The Macbook Pro that Im looking into is this:
2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
Intel Iris Pro Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
Thanks!

Use Boot Camp. Parallels is a virtualization application that runs under OS X. Its main advantage is that you do not have to restart your Mac in order to use Windows, but performance will be reduced dramatically.
A Mac with Windows is just like any other computer, so that application should not crash your Mac. The only thing you have to be careful (if you are going to use that application for very long periods of time) is to keep it cool.

  • How to connect new Macbook pro 2014 to iMac 2010 for a secondary display

    I have a new Macbook Pro 2014 and an old iMac 2010. How can I connect them to have an additional secondary display? I thought I would need a thunderbolt cable with a Thunderbolt to Mini DisplayPort adapter but I can't find that. There's lots of options and I don't understand what would be best.
    Macbook Pro 2014
    iMac 2010
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Nathaniel,
    Thunderbolt is another way of calling it a Mini Displayport, thunderbolt is just faster and has more usage with other products (i.e. hdds, displays etc.) You can hook up a thunderbolt to a mini-display port because both are the same size and serve the same function. Just don't connect anything to the display port on the iMac other than a computer.
    Kind Regards,

  • Can't load fcp studio on new macbook pro/os 10.6.2

    I just got a brand new macbook pro and wanted to load my fcp studio 1 but it is saying I don't have the proper hardware. It want tell me exactly what hardware. I just bought this computer, so I can not understand the prob. Is it the operating system---OS 10.6.2?
    I bought upgrade disks for fcp studio 2--what happens now? Has Apple made it so an older version of FCP isn't compatible with newer macBooks?

    FCP versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5 and 5 will only run on a PPC processor Mac.
    FCP versions 5.1 and 6 will run on both PPC and Intel Macs.
    FCP version 7 will only run on IntelMacs.

  • Logic Studio on new Macbook pro retina

    Hi,
    after 6 years my macbook "died" ... :-( I am thinking about buying a new macbook pro retina..
    My Problem is, how can i install the  logic studio with the dvds if there is no dvd device?
    thanks for you advise and ideas!

    The same way you have to install all software that comes on CD/DVD:
    either you buy an external DVD USB drive
    or you share the drive from a second Mac (via the Sharing system preferences)

  • New Macbook Pro 2014 for Gaming / casual use

    Hello there! I currently have a 2011 13" Macbook Pro with
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    16GB RAM
    500GB Harddrive
    and a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    I really like to play video games but with this current setup ^ its very sluggish and I get very low FPS
    I'm considering getting the  13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and with the 3.0GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz 
    My questions:
    Will this computer be able to handle a constant 60fps in most games? (Borderlands 2, portal 2, Bioshock Infinite)
    And I've heard other places that this computer also has a Nividia graphics card that it switches over to when you play anything that requires more than the Intel 4000 that it comes with.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi there!
    No it wont.
    Macbook Pro's hardware are mediocre for gaming. In your specific case, the 13" does not offer the possibility of a dedicated graphics card, only comes with Intel Iris. The 15" one does, the NVIDIA GT 750M with 2gb, yet it's weak for gaming above 40-50 fps, also dual-core processors are not very powerful these days either and you will most likely experience heating issues on intensive gaming sessions. If you like gaming Mac is not very efficient for it, unless you get a mac pro, but of course you would loose portability. The 27" iMac can be set with the GT 780m, it has 4gb but its still weak since its a mobile graphic chip as well, even the 5k iMac uses almost identical hardware setup than the regular iMac but with an AMD chip (also 4gb ram), while the 5k looks great with such hardware it is unable to handle smooth gaming on that resolution as well.
    Dont get me wrong, I'm not here to trash Apple, at the office we work with around 8 to 10 macbook pros but none of them, not even high end ones are able to game smoothly, in fact, some games run better on windows via bootcamp than OS X.
    Hope it helps.

  • How to run NFS MW 2012 on Macbook Pro 2014

    Hey Guys,
    I am a new user of mac, Just switched from old windows computer to a new Macbook pro 2014 13" model. Well So far i've loved each aspect of this machine.
    But i'm not able to figure out how to play Need for speed most wanted latest edition. I dont get any thing on the app store, and absolutely nothing on the torrents as well.
    I am really addicted to this game, so please help me install this game on this machine. Dont say u can't. as this machine is more powerful than any other possible over this planet.
    Please help me.
    Thanks
    John Rose

    No, the Boot Camp partition MUST stay on the boot drive - in your case the SSD.
    Very wise of you, however, to put the SSD in the HD bay instead of the optibay. That's where your Mac 'expects' to find the boot drive and where it should be installed: doing otherwise can cause problems with your system.
    Sorry that I wasn't able to give you the answer that you probably wanted!

  • Just bought new MacBook Pro and can't get FCP Studio to load on it. Any Help!

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I tried to load FCP Studio on it and it says it does not support it. I use FCP Studio 2 and I need to use it as I don't know FCP X. Any suggestions. I currently have FCP Studio 2 on a 2008 Mac Pro with Maverick on it.
    Thanks, Gale

    Final Cut Studio 2? That's 8 years old...4 OS versions ago.  Mavericks doesn't take FCP 7 into account, much less FCP 6.  In fact, to even install FCP 6 onto the PREVIOUS OS, Mountain Lion, you had to hack the terminal, or install Pacifist and do some shenanigans to get it to recognize the installer. 
    In short, it's very difficult to get older, discontinued software to work on new computers with new OSs.  If you need to use FCP 6, then you need to stick to older computers and OS's that run it. 
    It is on your 2008 MBP because, no doubt, you upgraded the OS around the already installed apps.  I'm not sure how well it will work.

  • New MacBook Pro 7.1 doesn't install final cut pro studio

    I bought a new macbook pro 13' last week. When I tried to install the final cut pro studio, an alert window popped up saying that my mackbook doesn't have the required hardware to support the final cut pro. Can any one please help me on that?

    FCP 5.0.4 is not compatible with Intel Macs.
    If you have that version, then you need to upgrade to FC Studio 3, which is compatible with Intel Macs.
    FCP 5.1.4 is compatible, but you'll need at least FCP 6.0.x to run with Snow Leopard.
    Expect to pay about $250.00 for the upgrade if you shop.

  • Getting a new MacBook Pro, Upgrade to Logic Studio 9?

    Hey all. I'm getting a new Macbook Pro soon, and I was thinking of upgrading to Logic Studio 9. I own a legit retail edition copy of the previous Logic Studio (Pro 8), and I was thinking of just installing 9 on my new computer.
    What things will I need to do this upgrade? I still have the original box, with the manuals. Including the one booklet that has the serial number stickers on it.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the answers guys. It was running in my mind, especially this is the first time I'm doing a program upgrade like this. Thanks alot!

  • Cannot launch any Macromedia Studio 8 apps on new MacBook Pro

    I've just migrated everything over to my new MacBook Pro from my old Powerbook. So far so good ... until I went to use Dreamweaver. I might see it bounce in the dock for less than a second and then it disappears - no error messages or anything. Ditto for other Studio 8 apps. I've tried installing an updater, I've tried reinstalling everything from scratch - the same thing happens for both.
    I've switched the activation over to this new machine for the Adobe CS (which all works fine other than Version Cue) so wonder if this is the issue, but I can't see where this can be done for Studio 8 apps and according to the licence I can have them installed on two machines anyway, provided I don't use them at the same time.
    According to the document Adobe have about support for Intel-based Macs these apps should work - even if with some issues with slowness. But not for me!
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks for that. So I just tried to repair disk permissions - there was nothing to repair and I'm still having the same problem. Also verified the disk to see if anything came up - all looks to be fine.
    According to Adobe the Macromedia apps should work with Intel Macs, just that they might be quite slow. Plus I've done some digging around and found reference to others running them okay.
    I've also just tried running a game to see what that would do. It's also old - Sim City 4 - but I've also read others saying it's slow, but definitely works on Intel Macs. However, for me it shows the same behaviour as the Macromedia apps - won't even start to load.
    I've contacted Macromedia for support now. Will post here if I get anywhere, but if anyone has other suggestions, they'd be gratefully received!

  • I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

    I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

    As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
    Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
    BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

  • Final Cut Studio HD problem with new Macbook Pro

    I bought FCS HD and installed it onto my new Macbook Pro, but when I went to run Final Cut, it told me it was missing the graphics card. Now, the graphics card is different to my old laptop and G5, but surely the new macbook pro should be able to run my Final Cut Studio.
    I was planning to buy the upgrade, not a whole new programme - now I am worried I will need to buy both an upgrade and Final Cut Studio 2.

    This is a FCP HD, but no Final Cut Studio HD
    My guess is that you are trying to run FCP 4.5 HD on an Intel Mac.
    It isn't reliable even if you could install it.
    You need FCS2 -- at the upgrade price.

  • I bought a brand new MacBook Pro Mid 2014, and my battery cycle count is on 2!!

    As I said on the question, a brand new MacBook Pro I bought recently which I haven't even put on charge yet already has a cycle count of 2!
    I'm just curious if this is normal and I want to make sure that I received a brand "new" one not a refurbished one.
    Did anyone else order a new laptop and have cycle charge of 2 or more and is this normal or not?

    The factory charges the battery, one cycle, they may then test that particular MacBook Pro as part of the production testing and it ends up with another cycle.  Two cycles is not something to worry about.  If you bought the unit from an Apple store or directly from Apple, it will not be a refurbished MBPr unless they specifically said it was.  They don't do things like that.

  • Logic Studio 9 Not installing on a new MacBook Pro

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro (Retina) running the Mountain Lion (10.8.3). When I try to run the installer i'm being told that I can't run the installer because Power PC Applications are no longer supported even through the discs indicate it is a Universal App.
    Any idea what gives?? I was able to install it on another MacBook Pro I got last year.

    Last time I checked Pacifist, it allows the user to extract the component parts out of a package.
    Have they now updated it to allow for Pacifist to actually run the Installer Script, too (in such a way as to duplicate the action of the original Installer script)?
    I think that you will find that it has done so for some time, but it certainly does now:
