Thanks to Setapp for sponsoring our live coverage of Apple’s Education event today. Get a 100+ high-quality Mac apps for thousands off retail with Setapp’s 50% off Education pricing.
Setapp’s subscription service for Mac apps, often described as the Netflix of Mac applications, offers an incredible value for students and teachers with over 100 apps at 50% off the normal monthly price. Normally costing thousands of dollars as standalone products, Setapp’s Edu pricing gives students access to all of the apps for just $7.50/month.
At only $90 per year for students, Setapp’s subscription model for apps makes a lot of sense when compared to the upfront cost of the standalone products. It gives classrooms, including teachers, students and other education staff a great collection of utilities and apps, many of which might be useful on occasion but not otherwise justifiable as a purchase on their own And with free updates included for all of the apps as part of the subscription, it ensures students will have the latest versions without having to worry about paid upgrades and compatibility down the road.

When we cover dozens of stories each year about Mac related security issues and malware discovered in the wild, it’s hard to imagine that the misconception that “Macs don’t get viruses” still exists. Although there is some truth to it. Macs are much more resilient to what are commonly classified as “viruses” and in general malware is much more rare for Mac users versus Windows. But that doesn’t mean Mac users don’t need to protect themselves from malware threats. And it’s not just malware, there are a long list of other threats that Mac users should be aware of and protecting themselves against.
The security experts at long-time Mac software developer Malwarebytes are often the source of security stories we cover throughout the year on 9to5Mac. We’ve come to trust its team for the many discoveries and coverage of malware and security related issues for Mac users. That’s why it’s easy to give a recommendation on the Malwarebytes software as a go-to option for protecting your Mac. Here’s how it works:
If you need to recover data from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, there are a few options including Apple’s own recovery tools. But an app like iMyFone D-Back for Mac makes it easy to see all of your available options and recover specific data from backups via iTunes, iCloud and the device itself even if you don’t know exactly where to look. With the click of a mouse from your Mac you’ll also be able to easily isolate only the data you want, making it easy to find things like photos, messages, and data from apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Kik, WeChat and more. Head below to see how it works.
