    DONMONTALVO  I've long abandoned TechTool in favor of Apple's own solutions (built into the system) or DiskWarrior. Marketing hype aside, I just don't see any real value in TechTool.

    LAINSNAVI  Is anyone actually able to install this update? I've tried downloading the disk image twice from the site and it says it failed to mount because it's "not recognized."

    FOULGER  For me, this application is too flakey and does too little with uncertain results to even consider using it.

    MRUBEN  Finally was able to connect to Micromat's FTP server, BUT...

    ... I'm on a 6+ Mbps broadband connection, and the file is downloading at only 10kB/sec - that's dial-up speeds.

    C'mon Micromat, this isn't 1997 - can you at least have a mirror for your files. Sheesh!

    BIGDAVE56  Whew! I thought it was just me. I got about 6-10K on two different broadband connections. FWIW, I had just downloaded an update of about the same size from another developer over the same wifi network. That one downloaded at 384K.

    EJI  Update to 3.1.2 succeeded, apparently, but it just hangs on "Scanning Volumes..." and never gets anywhere.

    Quality stuff, Micromat. Does Apple actually pay you to include this half-baked utility with AppleCare?

    MAILMAN42  Does not install properly.

    I have Tech Tool 3.1.1 installed, and ran the "updater", yet it claims 3.1.2 is installed.

    when I click on Tech Tools, it still claims not to work with Leopard & shows 3.1.1

    Yet, this same version, when asked to "check updates" claims it is 3.1.2.

    Something is not right in TinselTown

    BILL.BOAK  At least you could download for whatever good it did. I can't even download. Either get an error or timeout on my connection to Micromat. Micromat needs to find some people who know what they are doing. Maybe Apple needs to latch on to someone else.

    MAILMAN42  The download took a while, since everyone was trying to grab the update.

    I did get it installed.

    For Me. I had to uninstall, re-install 3.11 from the cd/dvd, then re-run the updater, and then it finally worked.

    MRUBEN  Is anyone able to connect to Micromat's server to download this update? I sure can't.

    I wish Apple would find a different partner for this type of software - I've had it with Micromat.

    FYREFLYE  My Speed Download is stalling on the connection. Since most Mac owners have AppleCare there may just be too much traffic on the server right now.

    ANONYMOUS  Well, I read all these negative comments about not being able to download MicroMat's updates, and thought they were just from newbies who didn't know how to donwload files.

    But they were right. I clicked "Download", went to my Micromat Account Control Panel, clicked "Download" again, went to a list of files, clicked "Download" again -- and ended up back at the Control Panel where I started! Just to for fun, and to make sure, I went around to the loop a few more times. In the programming trade, that's called an "infinite loop", i.e., there's no way out. And no download.

    Well, everybody makes mistakes, but it seems that Micromat is unusually slow about fixing things. I had this problem on 10/17, and other people have reported what sounds like the same problem more than a month ago. Since others have reported that they WERE able to download, maybe the problem only occurs when the server is overloaded

    But if that's true, wouldn't you think that Micromat would post a note to that effect, instead of giving people more reason to flame them?

    ALDORR  I just clicked on the link and was immediately taken to my account page, since I already registered the product. Then from that page I was given the choice to download TechTool Deluxe updates. Which I did. It works.

    TTD is not as feature-rich as TTP, which I own for one of my computers. TTD is on the other one. I've been using this for a long time and am very happy with it. I'm not sure what's up with your guys accounts. But give it another try.
