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)

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!

Great product. Easy and inexpensive upgrade from 4.0. Aided my upgrade from OS 8.6 to OS 9.1 immensely. 5 thumbs up

This is the perfect gift for a dedicated Mac user. It keeps the machine running smoothly and gives the user total tech control. The easy-to-use software does just what Mac users have come to expect from their machines: perform flawlessly. :)

Norton Utilities is one of the best programs out there... period! If your computer is acting up, or just acting sluggish, run Norton on it. Disk Doctor and Speed Disk are going to be the most used sections. It will clean up most any problems, and then defragment your files to keep them safe and happy. File Saver will then make sure that you have an updated catalog of your information.

This is a must for anyone who uses a Mac on a regular basis.
