HDD Health: How to check it? HD Tune Pro equivalent for Mac?

hi all, i was just wondering if there's a Mac equivalent for HD Tune Pro. it's a Windows app i use to check for errors on hard drives. i want to check if an externall 1TB HDD has any bad sectors on it before i use time machine to backup my work. i want something that'll check for any small error -- i don't want something that'll just do a basic scan.
thank you

but there's software that can do it on Windows so there must be something on the Mac.
DiskUtility, DiskWarrior, TechTools, Genius, etc. etc. just do a google search. Most are paid apps except DiskUtility which is already built in and can be accessed from your reinstall partition. I personally don't bother with any except DiskUtility, but do keep a copy of DiskWarrior on hand just in case.
Developers will convince you that you need all sorts of programs to check and repair most often manufactured disc ailments, but if you are one of those happy to pay, then that is your choice.
Good Luck

    how do I get an App store icon for Mac on my dashboard

    Are you on 10.6.8 or Lion? It should have been placed there automatically during the install; otherwise, simply go to your Applications folder and drag the icon to the dock.
    If you're not on one of those OS versions, post back with your version.

    How or where do I download Internet Explorer for Mac OS 10.7.5?

    Internet Explorer is only supported on Windows, so you can't use it on OS X. There are a lot of browsers like Safari, Firefox or Chrome for Mac, so try them. If you need Internet Explorer, you have to install Windows on your computer. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321

    Explanations with pics will be better.
    Thanks.

    Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.
    Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap

    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

    how do i sync my iphone with outlook for mac 2011 calendar?

    Here are some instructions from Microsoft:

    Alternatively, depending on where the data in Outlook is coming from, you could set up your phone to sync to the same account that Outlook is syncing with.  For example, my Outlook 2011 and my iPhone both sync to my work Exchange account, so I have that same calendar in both places.

    OS X already includes a software firewall. Enable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    If you are using your own wireless network you are already beyond a hardware firewall, so it is unnecessary and redundant to enable it. Its use is justified if you intend to connect to a public network, or are otherwise using a LAN along with others who may not be trusted.
