Please recommend what to look for in an external drive for my Macbook Pro
I don't have a lot of data, but I'm a writer and want a back up of novels and photos and photo projects. Can someone knowledgeable tell me what to look for in an external drive? I said to get one with a fan, but have seen highly recommended to those without a fan.
Thanks in advance,
NanaCA
If portability is a requirement, such as this storage drives will do:

If the HARD disk will live on the desktop all the time, your choice increases. Here are a few more examples (and there are more):

The fans are not always essential if the design of the enclosure is made correctly.
There are many publishers and other options are available, but OWC is a good seller with excellent customer support.
Note that anything that is stored on a disk external HARD must also be safeguarded if the data has the value.
Ciao.

A good mouse for a Macbook Pro?
Can anyone recommend a good mouse for a Macbook Pro, so fed up with the Magic mouse connectivity issues.
Microsoft and Logitech do wireless mice that use a small IR dongle. I use one for my office lab because I also have BT connectivity following the intervention of BT problems. The dongle stores neatly in the mouse when not in service, and it is small enough that you could probably keep plugged in all the time on the MBP. Mine is Logitech, it has 4 buttons with wheel acting as a middle-click. It came with software to program additional buttons. Overall, I prefer the Magic Mouse but it's a close.

I can't download a more recent version of the Adobe reader for my MacBook Pro. What can I do?
The menu bar is the line at the top of your Mac screen. Start with an Apple, then the name of the application (such as Safari), then other options such as File, Edit, View.
The message is confusing, because in this case, it means 'you are using Adobe Reader' in this application.
I think that this article can be what you need, let us know... https://helpx.Adobe.com/Acrobat/KB/Safari-8-Mac-OSX-1010-PDF.html

My Macbook Pro Late 2011 very hot especially on the left side. Temperature exceeds the 60 degrees celsius, with only the navigation. Is this a normal behavior? Fans operate at a SPEED of 2000 more or less. I would like the experts to guide...
From what you say, it seems that your MacBook fans work as usual (and unfortunately), and 60ºC is a good temperature for a MacBook Pro, so I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your Mac. Note that the temperature may also depend on what websites visit you and complete what they use. for example, Java and Flash Player increases CPU utilization and the battery, and this, temperature.
In addition, note that your MacBook Pro is made of aluminum, and it can quickly become hot even if you don't do any heavy task. This does not mean that there is nothing wrong with it

Cable/adapter for use of 2007 iMac as a display for 2009 MacBook Pro
I would use my older iMac as a monitor for my MacBook Pro. Want to know which cable and/or adapter I need help.
The iMac is a 24 inch, Intel based since 2007 (6.1). 2 GB, 667 MHZ. It uses iOS 10.5.8. Its port is a Mini-DVI video output.
The MacBook Pro is a 15-inch (5.4) 2009. 4 GB, 1067 MHZ. It uses iOS 10.11.6. Its port is a Mini display port.
Popular Wizard. Thank you.
You must use a wireless or Ethernet connection and configure Virtual Network Computing. A 2007 iMac only supports video-, and cannot function without the standard display cable.
