AppleJack is pretty good in what it does, and I can recommend it. But m.casey cannot download stuff, has no Finder available, and cannot doubleclick a file just because it is the Finder that should show him his files. See original posting.:rolleyes: And thats why I point out that "H@kRz...

That's _kind of_ what Terminal is (DOS is not UNIX, but in relation one can say so). One Question: you wrote you did an archive and install. Is that right? You should have a folder "Previous System" on top of your drive – hmm, but how to find out without Finder? I see no other way than...

You are absolutely right. Maybe it was too late yesterday evening... m.casey: How are you doing?

Your Finder seems to be dead / not working / unable to access your files. Some things I would check out in this situation: 1.) Have you already booted in Safe Mode (holding Shift while starting up)? 2.) Or booted in Single User Mode (holding Cmd-S while starting up) an run fsck -fy (same as...

see below...

Have you tried running Disk Utility's "Repair Volume" against your external?

I would boot in Single User Mode by holding Cmd-S while pushing the power button. Then move the Directories back to their original place. Obviously, this is for people familiar with the command line… But to copy your Application folder back to where it belongs, do the following: Boot in...

I often asked me what it is I like about Virtual Desktops. One can arrange windows side by side, a window with HTML and a Preview of this for instance. But I think Virtual Desktops just offer a kind of sense for order, a feeling like: "Here is this and there is that. When I'm done with this...

It is not what you think. Multiple Desktops can be explained as multiple window arrangments. The wallpaper and the icons on the desktop remain the same. I use VirtualDesktop and attach a screenshot from the pager (i.e. the overview of the different desktops). The windows are marked with...

no Safari, no Finder does FTP right. Use an FTP Client like Interarchy Transmit or Cyberduck (if it has to be free…)

Hm. No experience with this, sorry…

Interesting news… In fact, I never saw something like a local User Folder, when a network user logged in. You mean the /Users directory? AFAIK the User's home is mounted on some of the Unixdirs, and just unmounted when the User logs out. So nothing is to do there…

Frankly, I don't know. But I assume, you got the same book I got a few days ago (because my one says the same…) And if it really is "Learning the bash Shell" by O'Reilly have a look at chapter 12. If it is not – I'll report when I've done it ;) Greetings, virius

Hi undershot! Glad it worked. I'm just coming back from Easter Holidays – in the meantime you already got a nice collection of maintenance tools. Let me add _my_ favourite, Cocktail. I paid the little fee (15$ including lifetime upgrades) long time ago and never regretted it. It has some...
