Computer Name tab . Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and edit your computer's network names here. -
Hardware tab . The closest thing the Mac has to the Device Manager is System Profiler (in your Applications Utilities folder). -

System Restore tab . This feature isn't available in Mac OS X. -
Automatic Updates tab . Open System Preferences and click Software Updates. -
