Follow this app Developer website Overview Developers note: AppleJack is no longer supported and has not been developed or supported for years and years.

I would not recommend it being used on any systems after Mountain Lion.

With AppleJack you can troubleshoot a computer even if you cant load the GUI, or dont have a startup CD handy.

AppleJack runs in Single User Mode and is menu-based for ease of use.

In most cases, these operations can help get your machine back on track.

The important thing is that you dont need another startup disk with you.

All you need to do is restart in Single User Mode (SUM), by holding down the command and s keys at startup, and then typing applejack, or applejack auto (which will run through all the tasks automatically), or applejack auto restart (which will also restart the computer automatically at the end of the process) Whats new in AppleJack Version 1.6.

I still want to implement this using smartmontools, but for now diskutil will do.

This is a primitive bless, ie, it does not create boot files, but simply blesses the chosen System folder and (optionally) sets it to be used for startup on next launch.

I did contribute a small donation, years and years ago, and I am pleasantly surprised to find that in 2020 it is still valid for certain restoration tasks.

Applejack Cleaner Upgrade From Mojave

However, Im here because I cannot complete a Catalina upgrade from Mojave or blank disk without Disk Utility, First Aid telling me there are directory faults.

My Question for today is: Will Applejack work with Catalinas new separatist disk structure (2) 5 Neal 10 February 2020 Version: 1.6 Ive not had cause to run AJ for quite a few years.

My Question for today is: Will Applejack work with Catalinas new separatist disk structure (2) artie505 21 January 2019 Version: 1.6 Even though Applejack appears to still clear caches, Im skeptical about the job its doing, because Apple has added, deleted, and moved caches over the years.

Im sure its doing something, but I doubt that its what people think its doing.

January 2019 Version: 1.6 Although Applejacks website links to SourceForge for v 1.7, SF delivers v 1.6.

Anybody know whats up with that (1) Show comment ( 1 ) 4 EricWoehler 22 July 2017 Version: 1.6 Just installed 1.7b as per posting etc below, working under Sierra 10.12.6 - but unable to repair permissions (I suspect framework MIA due to Apple) and removing the swapfiles function doesnt work, but deep clean still deep cleans and other functions also working, so was glad I spent the 15 minutes getting this installed (1.6), upgraded (1.7b) and working.

Applejack Cleaner Mod To Make

Longest time was spent triple-checking script attributespermissions with BatchChmod to make sure I didnt have to re-login as root.

Instructions below by sickteddybear re installing and replacing 1.6 with 1.7 very good.

Just type applejack in singe user mode (cmd-s) after the system text has fllled several screens and choose from specific options (1-5) or run Auto.

No need even to type in the path; simply type Applejack in Single User Mode, and everything works as expected, except for Repair Permissions, which is no longer needed anyway.

To run parts 3 5 to clean the Cache and the memory, you need a apple password.

I bought the computer used and dont have the Apple ID or Apple IDs from the previous owner or owners.

Can I get around this so I can run these two parts of the program.
