Amazon.com Review:
Whether you need to recover from a hard drive disaster or you just want to make sure your Mac is running as smoothly as the day you bought it, Norton Utilities 7.0 contains all the tools you'll need. What's more, it now runs on Mac OS X as well as Mac OS 8 and OS 9.

Installation of Norton Utilities 7.0 is quick and easy. If you have bought the software to recover a damaged hard drive, the CD-ROM acts as a startup disk, allowing you to recover your drive without damaging any missing data. Even if your drive is apparently working fine, it pays to run Norton Utilities 7.0 from the CD-ROM first to check for problems before installation.

Norton Utilities 7.0 consists of five main components to cover almost any maintenance you will ever need to do on your Mac. Norton Disk Doctor scans your disk to find and repair damaged files and applications, as well as to detect physical damage to areas of the disk itself. With Disk Doctor set to automatically repair any damage it finds, keeping your disks error free is a simple task. The Live Repair feature of Norton Disk Doctor allows many common disk problems to be fixed even if they are on your boot drive, without rebooting from the CD.

Speed Disk optimizes your disk performance by reuniting files that have become fragmented before moving them around on the disk (to optimize performance). You can even optimize your hard drive for specific needs, such as for multimedia use, CD burning, or software development, ensuring that your disk performance is maximized for a given task.

FileSaver and UnErase effectively work together to protect your data by tracking files that you delete, and scanning your disk for damage at startup or shutdown. If you happen to delete a file that you later need to recover, UnErase can often recover the file in its entirety. Finally, Volume Recover works in conjunction with FileSaver to recover disks that are either so badly damaged that they cannot be read, or that have been accidentally initialized.

Currently, some features of previous versions of Norton Utilities, such as Speed Disk, do not run on Mac OS X. However, by booting your Mac from the Norton Utilities 7.0 CD, all the features of Norton Utilities 6.0 are available, and work just as well on disks with Mac OS X installed.

Users of Mac OS 8 or OS 9 should note that Norton Utilities 7.0 includes Norton Utilities 6.0 for operating systems older than Mac OS X, so if you already own this version and do not use Mac OS X, Norton Utilities 7.0 offers no new features for you.

Norton's reputation and long history of producing Mac disk utilities makes Norton Utilities 7.0 an essential addition to any Mac user's troubleshooting library, and its ease of use and range of integrated functions is second to none. --Daniel Jardine, Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.com Product Description:
Norton Utilities for Macintosh 7.0 is a software solution for Mac disk repair, disk optimization, and data recovery. The easy-to-use Norton Disk Doctor can find and repair disk problems with the click of a button. You can even run it from the bootable program CD when your hard drive won't restart. Speed Disk optimizes your drive by defragmenting files, and by placing frequently used files in an optimal location for faster access. You can also use Speed Disk to create custom optimization profiles for games, MP3 files, digital video, and other specialized uses.

Norton FileSaver periodically takes a snapshot of your hard drive's file directories, enabling Volume Recover to rebuild the directories and recover data after a catastrophic event. Norton FileSaver also keeps track of deleted files so that UnErase can examine the disk directories and Norton FileSaver logs to help you restore lost or damaged files. And now Norton Disk Doctor, Norton FileSaver, and UnErase have been created especially for Mac OS X systems.

- Doesn't work on Panther!
I bought this when I was running OS 9.2 and had good results, but was disappointed to learn that it no longer worked when I upgraded to OSX Panther because it specifically said that it ran on OSX. However, this should be a moot point for anyone currently running Panther since Norton 8.0 is now available.

- Some words about Symantec rebates
If you are thinking about buying norton software simply because they are free after rebates, then reconsider it. Although it's well known Symantec makes reliable softwares, When we talk about their rebates, they are liars. Yes, liars ¨Cthey really deserve this. Based on my personal experience, I even think theirs are worse than the notorious I/O Magic's (aka, Hi-Val, Digital research). I bought several Norton softwares during last December, and submitted the upgrade rebates right away with required ... Read More

- Norton Utilities
I have been a long-time user of Norton Utilities for Mac but had held off purchasing Norton Utilities 7.0 for OSX because of some negative reviews regarding its compatability with newer versions of OSX. Recently, I bought the program (version 7.02), installed it, updated it on OSX 10.2.6, and used it to repair several disks on my powerbook G4 (800 MHz, Version 2.1, 55.9 Gb drive) and a Western Digital 1394 45 Gb Firewire Hard drive. Several observations:

- 12" or 17" G4 PowerBook Users BEWARE!
While I'm confident Norton Utilities has extended the lives of my PCs over the years, Symantec's 7.0 version for Macintosh is grossly antiquated. After spending [money] on software I was assured was compatible with my brand new 12" Mac PowerBook, I discovered following installation that I needed to boot from the Norton Utilities CD-ROM to repair "serious" boot drive problems and to access the program's diagnostic features. Only after repeated failures, a live update, and a thorough search of the fine ... Read More

- Improved version of a Mac essential.
I've used virtually every version of Norton Utilities since I started using Macs both at home and at work about a dozen years ago. Recently, I upgraded my home computer to a PowerMac G4 with OS X, so naturally I also upgraded to version 7 of Norton Utilities. So far it works flawlessly. Although Macs have fewer crashes and other problems than PCs, they do have problems occasionally -- and over the years good old reliable Norton Utilities has fixed virtually all of the few problems I've encountered.
