Don't have to worry about turning your head and the mac disappears.ĭo you suppose they could both be run at once? IAlertU seems like the perfect choice when your close at hand with it's alarm system. Orbicule (Undercover 3) looks like the doctor prescribed it.it does the investigative work, not the student. This OS X is kool.how many days to Christmas? D

D2 (youngest daughter) selected to Allow Only Essential Services.would this be correct?ĭoes OS X have anything that requires an enabled incoming connection? Or, should we "set access for specific services and applications?ĭ2 is just like D1 (oldest daughter) in that if it's not on auto-update it remains as is The firewall has been enabled without a hitch.

Thanks so much Oneironaut for getting the ball rolling with some excellent suggestions. Not sure if a table leg would always be available. What type do you recommend, combo, key, etc. Kensington lock looks like a carry in your bag item. Not sure if I want the info going back to her or a paid service of some sort. I've already told her what a hot item the new Macbooks are at a college campus. This type of a program looks like a must. Orbicule and iAlertU will get some investigation tonight. The University is 100% wireless outside the residential dorms and inside they are wired with a hub provided. Will go ahead and enable that tonight just to see how it behaves with my wireless.

They provide Sophos for Mac for a $5 annual fee.įirewall already provided is nice. Virus protection is required by the University in order to connect. Won't stop someone from just taking out the battery, but if you can't get Orbicule right away, it's better than nothing.Īlso, you can get a Kensington lock that attaches to the MB. If anyone tries to move or touch it, the iSight camera snaps a picture of the thief and sends it to your email address, and the whole thing starts beeping and flashing. iAlertU is a cool app that arms a Macbook with a "car alarm" that you can enable and disable with an Apple remote. You don't necessarily need an Apple Airport Extreme base station, but it does work really well with Macbooks.įor theft, you might look into Orbicule, which can track a stolen Macbook within a few meters. You may need to buy a wireless base station and pay for internet service, but I think most dorms these days provide internet. Macbooks come with a wireless card already installed and it will detect any wireless signals nearby. OS X has a great Firewall setting under System Preferences you should enable.įind out if the dorms provide wireless service. My fears are theft, virus, spyware and OS X configurations for best protection.ĭon't have to worry about viruses. I may be paranoid, but what do I need to do to get the Macbook Al ready for the college's wired/wireless system? I know that's a very vague question, but I'm sure the knowledge in this forum knows where I'm coming from D Nobody bugs me for help any longer.I am no longer a Windows slave thanks to the Macs. Last Christmas, I bought a 24" iMac for my wife and a Macbook Al for my youngest daughter. Every time my daughter would come home from college for any reason, she tore down her desktop and brought it home so I could clean and sometimes re-install.

That 4 years I spent maintaining 4 PC desktops and a laptop 24/7 with all the anti-virus, spyware, malware and firewalls that my wife and 2 daughters could care less about.

After going through 4 years my oldest daughter was in college, she asked for a 15" Macbook Pro for her graduation present. Little history first: I'm totally new to Mac and am the last convert in our family (ran out of $$$$). I bought it for her last Christmas so she would have time to get her feet wet before leaving the ol' homestead.
