MyMac

All new Apple desktops, laptops and iPads purchased for UofG staff are managed and protected by the University of Glasgow, supported by the MyMac service. 

This means your device is:

  • Reliable: Software updates and patches are installed automatically in the background, with no need for downtime 
  • Secure: Antivirus protection and firewalls will be well-maintained and full-disk encryption keeps your data secure even if your device is stolen or lost 
  • Supported: UofG IT colleagues can help if you have any problems with your device, with greater flexibility and efficiency
  • Confidential: Your data and files remain completely confidential. MyMac is customised to only collect the data required to support macOS devices.
