A month ago, I blogged about Apple's new OS X Leopard operating system, and commented on how so many of its features seemed similar to those in Windows Vista, a comparison that usually runs the other way when it comes to comparing OS's.
Well, the other day, Apple did something else that made it seem hauntingly similar to Microsoft:
Apple has released a major security update to current and previous versions of its OS X operating system.
Most significantly, the update fixes 41 vulnerabilities, many of which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary -- ie: malicious -- code on the affected system. The affected software includes the Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE) Flash Player Plug-in, AppleRAID, the Mach Kernel, the Safari Web browser, and other core system components.
On Thursday, Apple released an update (10.5.1) for Mac OS X 'Leopard,' which debuted last month. It includes three fixes to the Application Firewall that could lead network services to be exposed. Apple also released a security update (3.04) for Safari 3 Beta for Windows XP and Vista on Wednesday. The patch fixes a tabbed browsing flaw that could expose user credentials, several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and a buffer overflow bug, among other issues.
As I've said many, many, many, many, many, many times before, Apple's starting to play with the big boys now, and they're bound to encounter similar issues (and take similar) action in this regard.
Tune in next week, when we read about the poor sysadmins who didn't install the 41 patches right away because they decided to spend some time testing on their network infrastructure before rolling them out to hundreds of users, only to be attacked by the hacker who has now downloaded the patch, reverse-engineered the malicious code, and sent it crawling for servers in exactly that position...
Welcome to the party Apple. Sit back and enjoy Microsoft's new ad campaign, starring John Hodgeman comforting Justin Long: 'It's OK, Mac, it happens to everyone eventually. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm told there's a patch you can get that will clear it all up. Kinda like smoking...'
Use Time Machine, the built-in backup feature of your Mac, to automatically back up your personal data, including apps, music, photos, email, and documents. Having a backup allows you to recover files that were deleted, or that were lost because the hard disk (or SSD) in your Mac needed to be erased or replaced. Learn how to restore your Mac from a backup.
Create a Time Machine backup
To create backups with Time Machine, all you need is an external storage device. After you connect the storage device and select it as your backup disk, Time Machine automatically makes hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for all previous months. The oldest backups are deleted when your backup disk is full.
Connect an external storage device
Connect one of the following external storage devices, sold separately. Learn more about backup disks that you can use with Time Machine.
- External drive connected to your Mac, such as a USB or Thunderbolt drive
- Network-attached storage (NAS) device that supports Time Machine over SMB
- Mac shared as a Time Machine backup destination
- AirPort Time Capsule, or external drive connected to an AirPort Time capsule or AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11ac)
Select your storage device as the backup disk
- Open Time Machine preferences from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar. Or choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Time Machine.
- Click Select Backup Disk.

Enjoy the convenience of automatic backups
After you select a backup disk, Time Machine immediately begins making periodic backups—automatically and without further action by you. The first backup may take a long time, but you can continue using your Mac while a backup is underway. Time Machine backs up only the files that changed since the previous backup, so future backups will be faster.
To start a backup manually, choose Back Up Now from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar. Use the same menu to check the status of a backup or skip a backup in progress.
