Poorly translated but slick cleaner and optimizer
Although OS X is a very stable operating system, from time to time a bit of maintenance doesn’t go amiss to make things more snappy. Magican is a simple and slick tool for exactly that although the dodgy translations throughout do cast some doubt over its credibility.
Maintains and optimizes in one
Magican performs maintenance and optimization of Mac OS X, removes duplicates to unnecessary translation files and binaries that take-up valuable disk space. In addition, it can uninstall applications and provide and can even generate a report of applications that are accessing the internet.
It works in either a minimized version on your desktop, in your Menu Bar or in large windowed mode on your desktop. The slick interface reminds us very much of MacKeeper and it performs similar functions.
Poorly translated interface
Although Magician is a very accomplished tool with a slick interface, the aforementioned translation issue means that it should be used with care. Magican is very eager to obtain your e-mail address when your start the app which is unusual for a cleaner and optimizer.
There are other options such as Onyx that do pretty much the same job, without the slick interface but also with properly translated English and no requests for your e-mail address.
A comprehensive maintenance app with some concerns
Magican is a slick cleaning tool for Mac although the poor translations and e-mail address request is a bit concerning.

Question: Q: Samsung Magician Software Mac
I recently installed the Samsung 840 Pro in my MacBook Pro. There is a disk that comes with the SSD and includes the Samsung Magician software for the SSD to keep the firmware of the SSD up to date. It doesn’t look like it’s compatible with Mac. Is this software necessary?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Samsung Magician Software is only compatible with Windows. You don’t need it in Mac because it’s not compatible, but it would be useful to upgrade the SSD firmware easily.
If you want to upgrade the SSD firmware, you have to download the ISO, burn it into a DVD or USB drive and start up your Mac from it. See the SSD firmware updates for Macs > http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/downloads.html

How do I know if I have the lattest firmware on my Samsung 840 Pro?
Jul 21, 2013 3:57 PM
Open System Information (in /Applications/Utilities), select SATA in the sidebar and choose the SSD. You will be able to see more information about the SSD, including the firmware

Is it works for you ? because for me on my MBP (Mid2012) it doesn’t work !
The FreeDos system can not boot correctly.
BUMP! Got the same problem on a mid 2012 macbook pro 13″. Can’t update the firmware for the samsung 830 ssd despite having just paid 130 pounds! what a joke.

At present, no solution, the solution who gave me by the Samsung Support is to use a Windows PC.

Hi there, looking to replace my failing hard drive (MBP mid 2012) with an SSD. Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem? I had been looking at Samsung 840’s but this might disuade me. Thanks in advance

No news on my side

I Wrote Samsung Support to complain and got the reply that they will put a better working update tool on their website very very soon. I received that answer today May 28 2014.
They will email me when that firmware update tool is released.
My sytuation: iMac early 2008 with Samsung EVO 250Gb SSD and HD Caddy with a 750Gb HDD in place of the Super drive and the superdrive mounted in a external USB housing.
Fusion Drive enabled.
Works like a charm but I really would like to update the Firmware and be able to update it in the future.
I tried everything from running Windows on the Mac using VMWare and using Magician to update the firmware, doesn’t work, Install Windows on a external USB HDD and trying to do it that way, doesn’t work.
The only solution right now is to remove the SSD, mount it in a Windows machine, update the firmware and build it back in the iMac.
I will give Samsung some time to supply the new and working update tool before I take the iMac apart.
