Cool Mac Software Updated--MacTracker 5.0.4 and SMARTReporter 2.3.8

2004–09August 25, 2008Bill FoxMac OS
Two of my favorite free utilities were updated last week and both are available via MacUpdate.com.

MacTracker 5.0.4 - This utility (donationware) by Ian Page is a must-have for all Macophiles. MacTracker has the details on virtually every Apple product ever made. Version 5.0.4

- Adds iPhone 3G
- Adds "iTunes Version" and "Machine ID" to iPhone models
- Updates Support Status for Apple's latest Vintage and Obsolete products
- Other minor changes and additions

SMARTReporter 2.3.8 - This utility (free) warns you of some hard disk drive failures before they actually happen. It does so by periodically polling the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk drive. Version 2.3.8 is a bug fixer but it also drops automatic update checking for Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4.
