Back-up your files and data

Apple introduced its hassle-free Time Machine back-up solution alongside OS X Leopard back in October 2007.

And nine years on, nothing on Windows comes close.

The effortless in-built app launches the first time you plug an external drive into your MacBook or iMac and checks whether you want to create a back-up. Time Machine saves hourly back-ups for the last 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly back-ups for everything else.

These back-ups can be used to restore your computer to a specific date after a fresh operating system installation, or import all of your documents, music, files, saved settings and in-app preferences to a new computer.

But it’s not simply a case of all-or-nothing.

You can also delve into your back-ups via the stunning user interface, and shuffle through saved snapshots to retrieve a single file from a folder you deleted months ago. Once you’ve located the file in your back-up, you just drag-and-drop to a chosen folder on your current machine.

2 – Quickly preview the contents of a file

This incredibly simple feature – once you start using it – will leave you wondering how you ever lived without it.

Dubbed Quick Look, the system-wide functionality lets you peek into the contents of almost any file on your machine – without having to open it.

Apple users can quickly select a file within their Finder window and hit the space bar to launch a large preview window showcasing the contents of the file. Quick Look will let you scroll through a lengthy word document, zoom into a photograph, and will even play a movie file.

It’s incredibly convenient, and lets you double-check you have the right file before you commit to launching a fully-featured application like Photoshop, or Final Cut Pro.

It also means you no longer have an excuse for attaching the wrong file to an email.
