    "SAVED MY REAR A FEW TIMES!"

    April 23, 2011  |   By friedchikkin

    Pros

    EASY to use, circumvents/loads in single-user mode to avoid problems with too many extensions that might be the cause of boot problems...

    Cons

    Slow to update, BUT usually still works through Apple's OS updates.

    Summary

    Have booting problems? System freezing at boot? Cache files need clearing? Permissions needs Repair?

    Applejack!

    Install it via the Finder, boot into single user mode and let it perform its magic! I just tried installing a different ATI5000.kext driver in my system because I saw it was a newer version- this required Admin authentication and I might have installed files that were meant for a Hackintosh! My MacPro would NOT finish booting. I booted in safe mode, removed/replaced the kext and rebooted, no avail!!

    Booted in Single-User mode, ran "applejack AUTO" and all's well again! I've had similar stories with my MDD G4 and AppleJack!

    Where do I donate!?
