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 6.0 for the Mac contains all the tools you'll need. Installation of Norton Utilities 6.0 is quick and easy. If you bought the software to recover a damaged hard drive, the CD acts as a start-up disc, 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 6.0 from the CD to first check for problems before installation.
Norton Utilities 6.0 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 detecting 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.
Speed Disk optimizes your disk performance by reuniting files that have become fragmented and then moving them around on the disk to improve its performance. FileSaver and UnErase effectively work together to protect your files by tracking files that you delete, and scanning your disk for damage at start-up 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.
Norton's reputation and long history of producing Mac disk utilities makes Norton Utilities 6.0 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.com Product Description
Norton Utilities 6.0 can help your Mac run smoothly and efficiently. Since a poorly organized hard disk can waste storage space, diminish the performance of your Mac, and even cause problems, Norton Utilities contains applications that optimize your machine and reduce the possibility of serious problems. Speed Disk defragments individual files so they'll load faster. When you run it from the bootable Norton Utilities CD, it can also optimize your hard disk by arranging frequently used files for the most efficient access. For even faster access times, you can also use Speed Disk to optimize a disk's directory. Norton FileSaver constantly records vital disk directory information while you're working. If you accidentally delete a file, UnErase can examine the directory and help you recover your data. Its built-in filtering helps you find a specific file or folder quickly and easily. Norton Disk Doctor gives you powerful, easy-to-use tools to find and repair disk problems. If your startup disk won't even boot, you can diagnose it by running Norton Disk Doctor from the CD. Norton Utilities can also monitor your Mac for you, spotting imminent problems before they cause trouble. Volume Recover works with FileSaver to resurrect disks that have crashed or accidentally been reinitialized. Use it on hard drives (internal or external), floppy disks, and removable media, such as Zip disks and Jaz drives. Now Volume Recover can even rebuild the directory structure of a disk, increasing your chances of being able to recover data from it. And you can run Volume Recover from the CD to resurrect dead startup drives.
You can keep your version of Norton Utilities up to date with LiveUpdate, exclusive Symantec technology that makes it easy to keep Norton Utilities current. It downloads application updates and software patches quickly and easily right over the Internet.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not for all Mac users,
By "sherfy@speakeasy.net" (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton Utilities 6.0 (CD-ROM)
Having used version 4.0 for three years with excellent and invaluable help for optimizing my Mac 7200/120, I purchased v. 5.0 when I upgraded my computer to a current iMac DV+. Unfortunately, many features of the Norton Utilities 5.0 and 6.0 are not yet functional for iMacs, OS 9+ and G3, G4: boot from CD, therefore Optimizing using SpeedDisk is not available. Symantec's technical support site offers an abundance of information about their knowing of these deficiencies and they say they are working on solutions. Symantec says the same problems exist with version 6.0. Had I visited the Symantec site before purchasing, I would have waited for a fully functioning product. (3/8/01)Since this initial experience, I have not attempted to use this software again. I am unaware of any patch or upgrade offered by Symantec to remedy this problem. The Apple Disk Doctor provided utilities have been sufficient. (9/8/01)

Mac OS X Life Saver!,

This review is from: Norton Utilities 6.0 (CD-ROM)
For years Norton has made this easy-to-use utility collection for rescuing Macs in distress, and with version 6.0 they won't let you down. After playing with Mac OS X for a few weeks I added some old corrupt files to my computer and couldn't reboot. At first I had my doubts, but Norton came through and saved the day! Owning a copy of this program is the best insurance purchase for your Macintosh, it's like having your own IT Dept. ready to help you around the clock. Previous owners of the program will like the fact that it hasn't changed that much and yet has kept up with the times. Norton Utilities is a must have product for any basic software library for your Macintosh. I only wish that Apple would include a copy with every Mac shipped!
