Click the topright COG in the window, switch to TAB applications, what does it say in the list?
And the directory you found in /Users/Shared/ is where the content (data) does.
Daz Studio is shown on the Applications tab. However, the folder shown in the pathname does not exist. I have the DAZ 3D folder under Applications., but there is no DAZStudio4 inside that folder.
What is in that folder?
Did you allow the installer to install /are you installing from an account that is allowed to sudo (show the authentricartion dialog)?
This is a fully expanded view of the DAZ folder in my Applications folder. Not much there, and certainly no DAZStudio app.
It looks like I will have to install again. Do I do this from the DAZ website, or can do it from within DIM?
You should uninstall it from DIM, then be sure DIM is ran from an account that is allowed to install. DIM will should you an authentication dialog when installing applications, where you have to "login in", if it doesn't the account you run from is not allowed to to that.
You can check if account has the "Can admin the computer" allowed.
Thank you for all your help. I'll try this in the morning & let you know if it works.
Hi Totte. That did the trick. I uninstalled, reinstalled & it came right up. Thanks again for your help.
Is there anyway i can run this on a windows tablet?
Only if that tablet can run real x86 software and has good enough Open GL support
When I try to run the instaler I get an error message saying 'Error creating directory', I have no idea on how to fix it.
Is that RendoInstall or the DAZ BitRock installer?
Usually it means you (the user) do not have privilegies to crate a directory where the program wants to create it.
Hello, how are you all?
I hope you can help me. I speak spanish and I am so new to 3d. I downladed Daz 4.8 version for Mac, I use Yosemite, and have 16mb of ram, so the prog. should run fin. I downloaded first 22 diferent files that where supposed to download. They were all ready to install, but now, after 2 hours, nothing but an absolute empty Daz 4.8 is what I can see on my mac. I can open the prg, yet nothing can be done there.
Where the Daz Install manager says "Downloading" it's in value of 0 , for all the 22 different files that were downloaded. Pls, I need help, I am really new, and I don't know how to fix this problem. If there's anyone that speaks fluent spanish I will surely be more than greatful!
Happy Holidays to all the comunity!
Does the user you are installing from have the rights to install software?
For me this looks like either you are missing the Authentication Dialog shown on the main screen, or the user is not allowed to authenticate (admin).
I have wondered for quite some time how POSER content can be used in DAZ Studio. Is this the way to do it?
Depends which type. Old cr2/pp2/hr2 content works out of the box, but materials will need to be changed or fixed as DS cant handle Poser Shaders, hey, DS was created to use Poser content in the first place.
New weight mapped Poser content will not work as Poser uses for a different weight map technology than DS.
Hi Totte, also a newbie with DAZ and looking to get a good machine, looking at a 2009 or 2010 Mac Pro 6 or 8 core, with 32 GB RAM, a decent SSD drive (is 240 GB enough?), and then getting an 8 GB NVidia Card. How are we doing? - Paul and Mike in Westchester, NY.
Totte, we are also consider the following thinking to get a better starting point for DAZ work and hten adding the NVidia card with the latest driver: (TY again!).
Apple Mac Pro
3.46GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Processor
System Configuration:
That looks perfect! - In that you can add two Nvida cards like I have. One "small" GTx750Ti (to drive the display, not for Iray) (remember that you should not mix nVidia and AMD/ATI cards), and another more powerful card for the Iray. The Mac Powersupplies are rather good, but you might need a Mini-6-Pin -> 6 Pin converter if you don't have two sin pin PCI power cables with the card, but the 7950 comes with that (I know, I ripped mine out)
One VERY important thing is that the card you want to drive the Display with MUST HAVE a displayport, even if you connect via DVI-D, as without displayport, the nVidia driver wont activate the card. I tripped on that as the ASUS GXT750Ti only has DVI-D, but the EVGA GTX750Ti has a Displayport and do work. That "might" be fixed in a future driver or not, but don't rely on it.
If you don't wanna waste money on a second card, you can drive the display with the Iray card, but take in account that OpenGL seems to take about 1.5GB VRAM on a large screen, that's why I got a second card to stop wasting OpenGL VRAM on my iRay card.
Wow! Thank you so very much. This is incredibly helpful. I'm totally new to all this; my buddy Mike knows more than I do, so I'm going to forward this to him so we can get going. You are beyond amazing!! Thanks again - :-) :-) :-)

By the way, I notice that that MacPro spec included MacOS 10.6.8 ; DS 4.9 will not run Iray on Snow Leopard (as I recently learned the hard way); and the daz3d.com hardware requirement page lists 10.7 as required for 64-bit.
OS X can easy upgrade - I think they might need to purchase 10.9 or so, then the rest are free.
THank you Totte, and thank you Ostadan! We're currenlty installing the video cards recommended.
Totte, you said the smaller one should be "to drive the display, not for Iray": do we put the Quaddro in the main display port? We're putting the Quaddro in the main for now.
We'll definitaly be upgrading to El Capitan - thanks for that!
- Paul | Mike
PS: We are installing an EVGA GEFORCE GTX 750Ti and a Quaddro M4000, just not sure which to put where. We will wait an hour or so hoping you see this!
Thanks again, - Paul | Mike
DONT MIX QUADRO AND GFORCE!
Totte: Thanks.
We must have misudnerstood. We had gotten the QUADRO per above comment: http://www.amazon.com/PNY-NVIDIA-QUADRO-M4000-ECC/dp/B013W9NES0 M4000 per above and the (nVIDIA GEFORCE) GTX 750Ti; but that was two different comments. What should we get witht the QUADRO M4000? Can we use what shipped with the Mac Pro, a Sapphire Radeon HD 7950?
Thanks again, we are very grateful for all your help!
- Paul | Mike
Its a problem with IRay - crashes if the two cards are of different CPU types. With a Quadro M4000 you wont need a second card, it's powerful enough I think, 8GB is a lot.
I think you can use the Radeon for screen and the quadro for Iray, but that is a "try and see thing", depends on how drivers really want to work, but mixing different GPU types usually is a bad idea too. (Sorry I missed the Quadro post).
Try it, just put the M4000 in (see it it boots up), then install nvidia driverpack and Cuda and hope for the best.
No worries - we really appreciate everything, and frankly, wouldn't know where to begin without you!!
We'll go with just the Quadro m4000 in the main drive. But just out of curiosity, we are attaching a picture of the box of hte 750Ti. We didn't realize that it has a differnet GPU. It says it has NVIDIA features and NVIDIA CUDA (see top left of picture).
Would we get the nvida driver pack from nVidia.com (install the latest dirvers) as well as CUDA?
Thanks an awful lot!
Mike & Paul
We forgot to attach pic.
