What is the best laptop cooling fan for a macbook pro?

I have my macbook on basically all day every day and I just want a nice cooling fan for underneath it so it doesn't overheat on me

I've never had any overheating issues, even when it is hard at work with several VMWare Fusion instances running concurrently. Just placed it on top of a Roadtech Coolpad (a passive laptop stand) and it's kept its cool thus far.

    None, but if you really believe you want something, then download ClamXav. Read more on right of page under 'More Like This'.

  • What is the best hardware test utility for my macbook pro?

    I'm familiar with Apple Hardware Test which is available by pressing the 'D' key before the gray startup screen appears, but what about other 3rd party utilities? Are any of them better than A.H.T.? For instance how does ToolTech Pro 6.0.6 compare with A.H.T.? Additionally is DiskWarrior any better than using the apple's built in disc utility (cmd + r upon startup or in utilities folder)?

    Thanks for the advise Linc Davis. I just spoke with a technician a moment ago who confirmed some of what you said. He told me that Disk Warrior is, as you said, for software related issues, but for hardware related issues they use Vilitans Software called Smart Utilities which is helpful in diagnosing any hardware related problems with a hard drive. He also informed me that there are no utlities, that he knows of, outside of what Apple Service Centers provides have that is any good for any other form of hardware diagnostics.
    The reason I've posted this is in hopes that there was something I could buy and use in the future when I don't have easy access to an apple store and for use now since I'm having trouble with my system periodically crashing during it's sleep mode. I would really like to figure out why. I've checked the hard drive already with the apple disc utility and it's fine, but I'm still getting the crashing so that's the other reason I was hoping to obtain this utility, but it's clear I should wait till I get to an apple store or service center to resolve this problem appropriatly.

  • What is the best external hard drive for a macbook pro?

    I have a lot of music, pictures, and software like Massive, Logic Pro 9 and FireStudio. Can the software be backed up to an external hard drive as well?

    There is no best drive.  None is better than the other.

  • What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

    What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

    While I have nothing against Time Machine (and I do use it on some of my systems), I always make a bootable clone before taking a Mac in for service (2 actually), and I verify that clone boots before I let the Mac leave.
    SuperDuper is free for a full clone (you only pay for incremental features).

    Carbon Copy Cloner provides a 1 month fully enabled demo mode before you have to buy the product or stop using it.

    Hi, does your MacBook have Firewire, or just USB?
    FW is far faster if you have that.
    Avoid Bus powered ones.

  • What is the best blue-ray drive for my Mac Pro????

    What is the best blue-ray drive for my Mac Pro????
    I wanted a BWU-200S but it says windows only i called apple
    and all they could tell me was logitech....wouldn't tell me a model
    or anything.
    I would really like one that does all the formats and feature that the
    Sony BWU-200S does.
    I read that the BWU-200S might work in the mac pro it just only comes with
    windows software. If anyone has tried this let me know please i need this soon.

    This site makes Mac compatible Blueray drives:
    http://store.fastmac.com/index.php?cPath=10252
    The questions to ask them is:
    1. Which applications can be used to burn bluray movies from it?
    2. Which applications can be used to playback commercial bluray from it?
    3. Does it let you burn DVDs from iDVD, iTunes and the Finder as well as CDs and CD-RWs?
    4. Does it support both DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL for burning and playback?
    5. Does it allow for booting from the system installer that shipped with the machine and running the hardware test that shipped with the machine?
    6. Do you get to keep the original optical drive in case you want to troubleshoot if system issues are due to their drive?
    Some of these may already be on the website, I just haven't taken the time to look it completely over.

  • What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • What is the best camcorder to buy using my MacBook Pro

    I just purchased the MacBook Pro (1st time Mac owner).  I am wondering if there is a particular camcorder that would work best for making videos using iMovie.  I have purchased a Sony Handycam AVCHD and googled the reviews.  It seems people have some problems using this camcorder with the MacBook.  Any suggestions.  1.  Will the camcorder I bought be just fine or do I need to return this and purchase a different one.  I just want to record my kids activities and make home movies to send to their grandparents.  Thanks

    Which is the best mouse to use with my macbook pro?
    "It depends" is the correct answer.
    If you love using gestures, you'll want a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad.
    If you love high precision, a trackball is often preferable to a mouse.
    If you love modified mouse actions, a mouse with extra programmable buttons is a good idea.
    If you love gaming, a responsive high-resolution gaming mouse is probably best.
    If you love graphics/art, it is possible no mouse is best; instead you want a pressure-sensitive stylus and tablet for maximum control over painting and retouching.
    No one else can tell you what the best is, unless they share your preferences exactly.

  • What is the best program to run on my MacBook Pro to clean it up?

    can anyone tell me what the best program to run on a MacBook Pro to clean it up, make it run faster?

    When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • What is the best Youtube video converter for Final Cut Pro?

    I want to keep the quality of the video and import into Final Cut Pro to edit. What is the best way to get the video in the correct format?

    I've used FastestTube
    http://fastesttube.kwizzu.com/
    usually this allows you to download the files as MP4 files in either 360p or 720p, or as FLV files
    I would download as 720p MP4 & convert in compressor to prores, etc for FCP.

  • What is the best wireless internet connections for a Macbook

    I have been trying to wirelessly connect a Macbook for internet connection. What is the best router that can be purchased for Macbook that will also work with a PC.

    Yes, it shouldn't matter. I just picked up an Airport Express tonight - VERY easy to setup and works like a charm. One caution - Express is a wireless router ONLY. There are no additional wired ports on it for wired systems in your house. You'll take the cable that comes from your DSL modem out of your computer, and put into the port on the Express (if you already have a wired computer). If you need a wired/wireless router, you'll require the Extreme model.
