1.0 out of 5 stars Even Symantec is giving up on this one!, April 16, 2004
By idsaysbuy "idsaysbuy" (Montague, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Symantec had tons of problems with Norton Utilities 8, which is part of Systemwroks 3. It isn't compatible with OS X 10.3 and has many problems with earlier systems. See Macfixit, Macintouch, or other news sources for evidence. Now Symantec announced that they are discontinuing development of everything but antivirus and network security products for the Mac. Don't buy broken software from a company who refuses to fix it. Buy DiskWarrior instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy...should be withdrawn from the market!, October 25, 2005
By Stratman "Don" (Germantown, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
This product doesn't work with OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and Norton states at their website that they won't be updating it. Unfortunately, the only indication that the thing doesn't work with Tiger is in the fine print on the box stating that it requires OS X 10.1 to 10.3. Since people often don't check the system requirements unless they're concerned with backward compatibility (not current compatibility), many Tiger users, like me, will probably buy this without realizing it won't work. I found out the hard way when I installed it and experienced a ton of problems. I didn't realize there was a compatibility issue until I went to the Symantec support website, where the compatibility and upgrade issues are prominently displayed. Too bad they couldn't mention those on the box. Now I'm stuck with a $140 white elephant since the store won't accept returns of opened software.

Norton really should have pulled this product IMHO. People who currently use OS X 10.1 to 10.3 are likely to upgrade to Tiger at some point - probably sooner rather than later - and when they do they'll be stuck with a useless product. When you consider that this dog is roughly twice the price of the PC version, you'll really feel ripped off.

I've been using Symantec products, including SystemWorks, on my PC's for years, but this marks the end of my relationship with them.

1.0 out of 5 stars I wish I knew BEFORE I bought this....., July 23, 2004
DO NOT buy Norton Utilities. It used to be the best file management software for the mac. NO MORE. Not only did I have trouble loading, but after I used the program and optimized the hard drive (to make it faster) it trashed my hard drive and I had to re-initialize... Stay away from this program. The guys at the apple store near me, reccomends Disk Warrior. I repeat..... DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
