TechTool Pro helps recover, repair, and optimize your hard disk.

TechTool Pro 4 now features a suite of S.M.A.R.T tests (Self Monitoring Analysis And Reporting Technology).

Most modern hard drives now support this industry standard that employs predictive diagnostics and analysis to help foresee a drive failure BEFORE it happens. TechTool Pro 4s SMART test allows you to automatically monitor this vital data and be forewarned of impending danger to your data, allowing you to back up critical information before disaster strikes.

The eDrive feature allows you to create an invisible emergency volume from your existing drive. This new partition is created WITHOUT the need to reformat your current drive and allows you to store a copy of your system, a copy of TechTool Pro and even allows you to make room for other utilities.

If you ever have trouble with your main drive, simply restart your computer and your system will start from your Emergency Drive giving you immediate access to the utilities youll need to resurrect your main drive. Now theres no more need for a bootable CD or ancillary hard drive for system drive repair or maintenance.

With the power of Mac OS X, TechTool Pro 4 is now the fastest version of the program weve ever made. With Mac OS Xs native multitasking capability, TechTool Pro 4 can now run its full battery of tests simultaneously. This means that repair and maintenance chores that once took minutes will only take seconds.

TechTool Pro 4 now offers a new optimization feature for your Mac OS X drive. The Mac OS X system contains thousands of files that fragment quickly. TechTool Pro 4 lets you quickly and safely unfragment these and other files so your system runs reliably at its peak.

Do you have a nice new portable music player in your pocket? Or perhaps a flash drive or portable hard drive? Why not turn it into a Mac OS X diagnostic, repair, recovery, and maintenance tool? With SubRosaSoft DasBoot its easy.

DasBoot allows you to take any third party boot CD (such as those shipped by SubRosaSoft.com Inc, Prosoft Engineering Inc, Alsoft Inc, or Micromat Inc) and quickly create a bootable diagnostic device that contains any of your own utilities that you may wish to install.

You can use your portable music player to boot, check, maintain, and repair Mac OS X computers* as needed without erasing it and taking away your ability to play music or use your device as you always have.

With the help of DasBoot you get to carry all the tools youll need in your shirt pocket. But unlike expensive third party alternatives, youll have plenty of space left over for a multitude of additional utilities as well as ample drive space when you need to recover data.

DasBoot allows you to run data recovery applications such as FileSalvage, diagnostic and repair applications, and much more, all from your MP3 player, portable hard drive or flash drive.

SubRosaSoft DasBoot gives you the power to create and maintain your own pocket-sized toolkit for your Mac - exactly the way you want - on one portable device and its totally free!! Just plug it in and all your tools will be at your fingertips.

If you want a forensically sound boot device then please use the MacForensicsLab boot CD. This boot CD is specifically modified for forensics use in that it disables the portions of the operating system that can effect your investigation. In doing so it will effect the operation of non-forensics based tools in order to stop them altering your evidence.

DasBoot has been tested with the following disk utilities and data recovery tools, but will also run many others; CopyCatX, FileSalvage, MacForensicsLab, VolumeWorks, Drive Genius, Data Rescue II, DiskWarrior, Apple Disk Utility, and TechTool Pro.

App Update is a small utiliy derived from the successful Widget Update, App Update enables you to check for updates to your share- and freeware applications at Apple, MacUpdate and VersionTracker. You will be presented with a tidy list of links to the detail pages of all the updates found.

Among the key features are an extensive online-help, a configuration editor to tailor App Update to your very personal collection of applications, limited support for Quicktime Components, Frameworks and Preference Panes, automatic checking for updates and Growl support.

Applications that were tested and found to be supported out-of-the-box at at least one update source are: Adium X, Azureus, BBEdit, BitTorrent, Camino, Colloquy, DiVA, DivX, Fetch Art for iTunes, Fire, Flip4Mac WMV, Gizmo Project, Google Earth, goPod, Growl, HexEdit, iCab, iTerm, LAME mp3 Quicktime Components and Framework, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Suite, Mozilla Thunderbird, MPEG Streamclip, MPlayer OS X, OmniWeb, pearLyrics, Pod2Go, RealPlayer, ScummVM, Shiira, SixtyForce, Skype, StuffIt Expander, SubEthaEdit, TechTool Deluxe, Temperature Monitor, TeXShop, Toast Titanium, VLC media player, Xbench, XviD Quicktime Component.

Apart from those, many other applications are expected to work out-of-the-box as well. Others may require some additional configuration in the "Advanced" dialog. Please refer to the online-help.

Like for Widget Update, graphics were designed by Mike Pogran.

Setup
In order to make App Update find the applications you want to monitor for updates, you have to set the directory (or directories) where you keep them through the "Path Settings" dialog on App Updates back. It is recommended to organize your share- and freeware applications in seperate folders rather than dropping them all directly into the applications folder.

If you have used Widget Update before, you should feel right at home!

For additional information, please refer to the online help that can be opened at any time with the keyboard shortcut Shift+H.
