Quick-fire questions
Why do I get a NSURL error checking for updates?
> That error comes from
Apple’s software update servers. Restart your Mac and try again. If it remains, have another go in an hour or two. If it persists, and Apple’s status at bit.ly/ mac407systemstatus remains green, contact Apple Support.
Are my files in iCloud Drive well encrypted?
> Yes, standard iCloud Drive robustly encrypts all your files. As that supports data recovery by Apple, it keeps your recovery keys for you. If you want to have your own recovery keys with end-to-end encryption, do so by enabling
Advanced Data Protection in iCloud settings. Then Apple won’t have any keys, and you’ll be responsible for data recovery.
Fing’s deep network security checks can report problems that shouldn’t be a concern to most users.
