Protect your data and your Mac
Back up your files
It’s smart—and painless—to back up your Mac. Just turn on Time Machine and connect an external drive. Time Machine makes automatic backups so you can recover files or apps you installed.
Locate a missing Mac
The Find My app can help you find your Mac or another lost or misplaced device, even if it’s not connected to the internet.
See how Safari protects you
Safari prevents trackers from following you across the web to target you for advertising. View your Privacy Report to see which trackers Safari has blocked.
Keep your Mac secure
Set up your Mac to be more secure by using strong passwords, limiting the number of administrative users, requiring all users to log in, encrypting the data with FileVault, and more.
