Best Answer:
I have an older macbook with OS X 10.7.5, Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is compatible with it; but after October 10th 2017 it will not be supported by Microsoft. I am fairly certain that Office for Mac 2016 will not work on 10.7.5.

Will charging my Macbook Pro Touch-Bar 2017 (13”) with this damage the battery?
So i bought this product to charge my Macbook Pro 2017, however, in the store the stuff warned me that charging with this powerbank can damage my battery permanently. They said that the charge is slow and that Macbook needs at least 61 watt to charge properly, while this powerbank output is only 30 watt. So the question remains, can i use this powerbank safely even though the charge will be slow?

Answer
It will, but you will need an adapter to connect the other end of the cable to your new Mac’s Thunderbolt 3 port.
However, that is only for data transfer. I’d assume you’re trying to use the DisplayPort connection to use Target Display with your second iMac. You’d need a third-party USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter for that.

If you do not want to edit the documents, then you can download Office applications from AppStore without paying for any subscription.
If you want to use all the features, then you need to have an active subscription.

what does the color wheel mean?
When I use the computer, a small color wheel comes up and circles for a long time. While that is happening, I cannot use the computer. It is locked. How can I clean up my computer so this does not occur?

1 Answer (what does the color wheel mean?)

Similar Questions (what does the color wheel mean?)
Best Answer:
Ah yes...the ‘spinning beachball of death’.

1st thing, don’t panic! When you see the color wheel it means that the computer is ‘thinking’ or, more accurately, attempting or trying to execute your command. A few things can cause the color wheel but the most common one is insufficient RAM memory installed in your Mac. You can check the amount of RAM memory installed by clicking on the Apple menu on the upper left corner of the Mac’ screen. Then select ‘About this Mac’. While most Mac operating systems will work (adequately) with 4 GB of RAM, if your Mac permits the installation of more RAM, you might consider doing so. It’s easy to install and inexpensive as well. The additional RAM will let your Mac ‘breath’ a bit easier and you should see fewer beachballs.

If you have 8GB or more of RAM and are still getting spinning beachballs, try closing some of the open applications. Even with sufficient RAM if you’ve got 6 or more apps running at the same time, that’s going to dramatically slow the computer down (and you’ll see the wheel).

Does it work to connect the USB-port with another USB-port with more possible USB-connections?
My current Macbook Air uses
- 1 USB-port for external keyboard
- 1 USB-port for USB multiport for external hard drives and USB-sticks

Would this Multiport adapter be able to handle another multiport with all this equipment?

If yes: I am buying. If no: I will cry and probably won´t buy!

Cheers!

It works that way for me with the 15" MBP 2016 w touch bar. I have the adapter plugged into the MBP, and a (powered) USB hub plugged into the USB-A port on the adapter. All the devices plugged into the hub work fine.
