TechTool Pro 4.5 Announced

Micromat today announced an update to their top-of-the-line system diagnostic and repair software TechTool Pro, bringing the utility to Universal Binary status. As a repair technician, I use TechTool daily to repair corrupted drive volumes, detect failing disks, and stress-test hardware. Although version 4.5 of the program sports no new features aside from Intel support, Micromat is not releasing an updater for previous versions of TechTool. According to the company a large number of under-the-hood changes and tweaks to the program prevents such an update from being practical.

Current owners of the software can download a public beta of the new version, and order a DVD update for $25 which will ship in July. Subscribers to Mircomat's TechTool Quarterly subscription program will automatically receive the update in the mail at no charge.

That's funny; they're actually breaking Apple's licensing agreement for the Universal logo in the picture attached to the post. Under the terms of the agreement developers have to sign to use it, you're not allowed to display it without the attached Mac logo.

Sir Not Appearing in this Blog

I've gotta admit, I haven't touched TTP since I moved to MacOS X. In those days, TTP was my go-to disk repair tool. Now I prefer DiskWarrior, and even THAT I haven't used in over a year. So...not gonna rush out for this one. Glad to see they're still making it for people who need it.

Mark,

Tt might APPEAR you know what drag-n-drop applications are doing when you drag-n-drop them, but you really don't. After you launch your "harmless" application it can put whatever files it wants anywhere in your home folder. It can even put files in your root directory if you give it your password.

Just thought I would tell you so you know what your doing in the future.
