Applejack for Intel Macs… FINALLY!
I’m glad to say that the wait for a modern version of one of my favorite utilities is finally over… it’s free, and it now works on all Macs of all kinds.
Applejack is a collection of commands that perform the essential maintenance routines that keep your Mac happy. I usually set up a monthly “nag” routine in iCal that reminds folks (via email) that they need to do a few steps to keep their Mac healthy and bug-free:
When re-starting, hold down the Command key and the “S” key until you see a bunch of white text on a black background. Type
applejack auto restart
and then hit the Return key. At that point, just walk away, and come back when the computer has restarted itself. You’re done!
Yes, there are more possible scenarios, but this seems to work very well for most people.
Now, all that we need is an Intel-Mac compatible version of Disk Warrior!
