Any problems with Sonoma 14.3
Michelle Pena replied to Michelle Pena's topic in The Macintosh User Group
If I can butt in here, lol! I came from a 16 GB, and it slowed down because of all the PS updates. I could not upgrade to Sonoma or upgrade my PS to 2024 (I was using the 2019 version) I knew if I did, it would slow down the imac even more. Believe me, from my experience, saving up for my 32 GB M2 Pro mini Mac was the best choice ( of course, now they have the m3, which was not available yet when I purchased the new machine ...ugh). Everything runs smoothly.I have not yet updated to the new 14.5 Sonoma. The upgrade is 2.48 GB, which is not bad I think the M2 could handle it but If I don't need to upgrade, I won't. Photoshop runs so well on the new 2024 version. I can also use the AI features to remove items from pictures to remove wrinkles or to extend backgrounds, and it's fast at generating it! Take Brian's word for it: this one will not do what you need it to. Anyway, my two cents! LOL. Good luck, Jess! -

LOL, no, I won't be a moron and start this with sessions needing to be edited, but I stay busy.. sooooo. It's not a big deal; honestly, everything works fine. The only reason I wanted to upgrade to PS 2024 is because of the AI feature where hands, feet, and the harder stuff can be easily edited out. Especially the sessions where parents help spot a newborn, and we have hands to edit out. It would make editing go smoothly. I am not a fan of the AI world but it's here. Thank you for the links! -

Oh, I see. Can't run the new OS on the 2023 PS? So if I update, just update both? Sorry if I misunderstood. -

Thank you. Now, I hope the new 2024 PS holds up -
I have a 32GB MiniMac M2 Pro chip. Will this be okay to upgrade? I mean, I've had this MiniMac for just three months, and there is already an upgrade! Brian, any issues that you know of?

Shit, I returned it lol Thinking it was the brand. Well this sucks, I plug in my camera card reader to transfer raw files to the external because the D850 files are huge. I never place the raw files on my mac just if only i'm working on that session. SO now i have to directly place the raw files on my mac ?? ughh Do you know of another way? Thank you for the research! "So for now, if your WD Drive that you are reformatting, make sure it is setup for macOS Extended (Journaled) and it's formatted. Then all you should be able to do is find your drive you want to copy, open it and do a Command+A which will select all the files. Then right-click and select Copy, then go to the destination drive and right-click and select "Paste." This will copy the files and will allow you to make sure that everything copied over and is fine, THEN you can do a select all on the originals and delete them. " This what i do with the raw camera files?

Hey Brian, I have the new Mac mini and always used WD external hard drives. I found out that Western Digital is compatible, but Apple does not allow drag and drop feature as of now. This is essential for me as I'm transferring files from the old external to the new external drive for the new Mac. It's due to Ventura, is what they told me. What other hard drive do you suggest for my drive to be able to backup and where I am able to drag and drop files from the desktop to the new external? Thank you !
