Need to upgrade - an iMac that works with PP CC 2014 *and* Pro Tools 11.2?

i'm looking back and forth between the two programs' system requirements and i'm stalled out.
Pro Tools 11.1.2 - 11.2 has these two options for iMac:
2013 27" iMac (*)
Model Identifier: 14,2
Qualified Models:
Core i7 3.5 GHz
2013 21.5" iMac (*)
Model Identifier: 14,1
Qualified Models:
Core i5 2.7 GHz
so i'm thinking of this:
2013 21.5" iMac,
16GB RAM
Quad core i5 2.9GHz Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 1GB video memory
1TB ATA (with external 7200RPM FW 800 drives for media)
fusion drives aren't supported by Pro Tools so i'm sticking with the ATA.
will this work with PP CC 2014? i need the upgrade because of a project i'm doing in PP but my normal 9-5 job is in PT so i'll need both to run immediately. thanks!

The better graphics option ie 780M for that Imac with the I7. I would also suggest a TB drive instead of Firewire which is higher latency and lower bandwidth for drives.

  • Need a wireless usb adapter that works with my iMac G4 Flatscreen

    I have an iMac without an airport card. I am trying to find a thrid party solution. Does anyone know of a third party wireless usb adapter that works with my Mac?

    Hi Bill I noticed that list you posted mainly shows devices that require purchasing 3rd party drivers from companies such as ioxperts.
    If you use a device that has ralink chipset you can use their drivers free of charge.

  • Audio hardware interface to use with Logic Studio 8 and Pro Tools M-Powered

    I want to get Logic Studio and Pro Tools M-Powered. I do film sound design and music as a hobby. I plan to compose music with Logic and edit film audio with Pro Tools.
    Here is my main concern:
    I want to get ONE firewire audio interface that will work with both programs (Logic Studio and Pro Tools). I need one that has multiple outputs because I will be mixing in surround sound (mostly the film audio). Are there any suggestions? Inputs on what people like, don't like, work well with both? What I should completely avoid? I figured Pro Tools M-Powered (as opposed to LE, HD) would be better for me simply because of price and possibly using the m-audio interface with Logic too.
    Let the advice begin please. I will be happy to answer any questions you have for me that would help you provide better advice for me.
    Thank you in advance
    TTW13

    Yes, Logic Studio is surround sound capable, but unfortunately a lot of places that I would potentially like to be working at, that do audio post, that I've seen, require a knowledge of Pro Tools. I know it's not the best but it's the industry standard and it's what many companies use so I need to learn it (basically). I don't want to limit myself to stereo outs on the audio interface on PT. Maybe I should to keep my budget down though??? I guess now I'm looking at PT LE and the 003 family, this one in particular

    I dunno, by the time it's "technically" compatible with Leopard I might be able to afford it.
    Anyone currently using Pro Tools LE with Leopard right now? For some people it apparently works???

  • I have a older imac and whin i try to update from 10.6.8 i says incompatible can i upgrade the imac to work with mavericks ?

    can i upgrade my imac 4,1 to run mavricks ?

    No. You can try Lion:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Need USB Wi-fi Card that works with G4 PowerBook on 10.4.8 & 10.5

    I have a 12" Powerbook G4, 1.5 Ghz model.
    The airport in the machine seems to dislike the Cisco wireless access points on my college campus.
    All of the access points show up both in the Airport icon, and in iStumbler, however, i can never connect to them.
    A fix for this would be most helpful, but I'll also settle for someone that can tell me of a USB Wi-fi card (preferably 802.11G, but i'll settle for B) that will work with my system.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Asides from the end result of not being able to connect, what happens? When you try to connect, are there any system messages?
    If you google 'usb wireless adapter mac' you'll find a number of useful references, should you want to go down that path.
    As an aside, OS X Leopard, or 10.5, won't be released until later in the year, so users here can't tell you what works, or doesn't work, with it.

  • Creating a letterhead that works with Pages, MS OFFICE and Open Office

    I have to create a letter head template that can be used by people on PC who have either MS Office (word doc) or OPEN OFFICE (odt) as well as people using Mac iWork PAGES. In my old PC days I could easily make a template with the letter head (some graphics and text boxes) and anyone in the office could use it. Now I am perplexed in how I can get a document with graphics (the logos and some background boxes) so that it appears as a letter head when it is opened in other computers. If I save it to a MS word document, all my graphic boxes (backgrounds) pop up to the top, the text of the company name is moved to the back (behind the graphics) and the logo is resized which means for anyone to use it on a PC they have to readjust all the stuff. Some of these people are not the brightest monitors in the unit so I can't expect them to have to redo all the graphics. And the same problem for the people who have the freebie Open Office, even a worse box of scrambled eggs with our letterhead and logo then.
    Any suggestions on what I can do? We have too many people in too many locations to simply print up a box of letterheads for everyone for as few letters they do write, but we need to make sure all our letters are, shall I say, on the same page. Anyway I can create that letterhead on a blank template that won't change no matter who opens it up in what ever?

    Hi There
    A possible workaround is that you could use one of the applications to create the letterhead, save that document somewhere. You can then take a screenshot of that letterhead by pressing the command + Shift + 4 keys at the same time and dragging the crosshair around the letterhead. This will save a graphic of the selection on the desktop. You can then just drag this graphic into each application as needed. If you ever need to change the details of the letterhead you will have to take the screenshot again with the edited details and drag the new graphic into your documents.
    Not the most elegant solution but a workable one atleast
    Hope this helps

  • Case that works with iPad 2 Dock and Smart Cover

    The title says it all , if possible list websites and full product details.
    Many Thanks

    This case meets all my requirements, however I am not sure that anyone makes one that will work with the dock, except an amoured film shield.

  • Will the MBox work with my Leopard OS/ Garageband/Pro Tools?

    I was told that they didn't have the drivers updated for Leopard. Does anyone know if they are now?
    Thanks!

    I have a digi 002 working with Leopard. Pro Tools and Rewire both work great.
    A Few Tips
    o Ensure your drive is formatted as Mac OSX Extended (non-case-sensitive)
    o Ensure you have Pro Tools LE 7.4 (a purchased update
    o Ensure you have Pro Tools LE 7.4 cs2 update (free cs update)
    It is officially not supported so be ready for problems. I wouldn't buy anything until it is official. 7.3 didn't work at all for me.

  • In need of a de-esser that works in GarageBand on a Mac Pro...

    Hey all!
    I upgraded to a Mac Pro about a month ago and have been loving it.
    But the free de-esser I used to use for vocals recorded into GarageBand (via my condenser mic), "spitfish," has no Intel version and never will. I've scoured the web and come up with no replacement that costs less than several hundreds of dollars (as part of a package).
    So my question is simple:
    How can I get a de-esser into GarageBand 3 on an Intel Mac? I'm willing to pay, but not for a whole package I don't need.
    Thanks!

    Yeah, I've known about that. I mean, I could use Apple's multiband EQ if I wanted to do it that way. But I'd rather use a full-out de-esser.
    Any other ideas?

  • Is there a Calendar App that works with both Blackberry phones and Android phones ?

    I just recently got a Blackberry Z30 phone.  My husband has an LG Optimus G Android phone.  Does anyone know if there is a Calendar App that will work on both phones so that we can send appointments to each other that will load into our respective calendars?  Right now, we each have to enter the events into our individual phones. I love the Blackberry Calendar (RIM) that came preloaded on my phone since you can customize recurrences, e.g. every 3 weeks plus you can have day, week and month views.  I definitely want a calendar with the customizable recurrences feature, which my husband's Android Calendar App does not have. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You Both can Add one email Account on Both Phones and then sync the Calender With Email - This way when one will add a reminder or event it will automatically synced to the other

  • Does anyone know a USB WIFI connection that works with the Intel Powerbook and OS 10.7.5

    I have replaced my AIRPORT EXTREME card because it dropped connection and wouldn't turn back on.
    It worked fine for 14 months, but now it is broken again.
    I have given up.
    I would rather replace a 20-30 dongle everytime rather than the airportexpress card.

    that should say a $20-$30 dongle.

  • I have an airport extreem network that works with two MacBooks.  I am trying to get my PC (IBM ThinkPad) to connect to the network.  The PC has airport for the PC downloaded but it will not recognize the network.  Any suggestons please!

    I have an airport extreem network that works with my two MacBooks and a iMAC.  I am having no luck in getting a PC (IBM ThinkPad0 that has the PC airport software to be recognized by the network.  Any suggestions?

    When you introduced the AirPort Extreme, you had a condition where you have two routers in series. The simpliest solution is to reconfigure the downstream router (in this case the Extreme) as a bridge. This will allow the upstream router to provide the required NAT & DHCP services to all network clients regardless of which router they are connected to.
    To reconfigure the Extreme as a bridge, you will use the AirPort Utility. (Note: I will provide the steps for using AirPort Utility v5.x)
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup
    Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)

  • Printer that works with Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hi. We are very new to Macs (2 weeks). Have a Mac Book and AEBS. Both work fine. Our HP printers, however, only work if connected directly to the Mac Book. I'm informed that we need to get a printer that works with the AEBS if we wish to have wireless printing. If anyone can recommend a printer that works with AEBS, we'd be grateful. Thanks.

    Hello Jungle-cat. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Check out the following iFelix site to see which printers are known to work (not not) with the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
