Still hating the Mac, not fond of Alsoft either
Friday, June 01, 2007
As I mentioned about 5 days ago, I've an issue with my Mac that (if it can be fixed) requires a third-party application to repair. After learning that the downloaded version would not work because my issue is on the boot drive, I ordered the software on CD - priority shipping.
Well, I received confirmation that it shipped "USPS Priority Mail" - today. I guess I should have specified that I wanted it to be a priority of both Alsoft and the Unites States Postal Service.

Speakng as a platform agnostic, I like a friend's analogy:
Windows is like a house where shingles fall of the roof and gutters fall off regularly, and you have to keep up with fixing them.
Mac is like a house where that little stuff never happens... but periodically the entire house collapses into rubble and you have to rebuilt it completely.
Good luck. -

Just so you know, I posted a solution for your problem in the previous post... but I'll paste it here.
"You should know that there is a free utility called Applejack that can be installed on your hard drive.
You install it, and boot to single user mode by holding down CMD-S at startup.
Once you get a prompt, type "applejack", and it gives you a short list of options to repair the disk, fix permissions etc...
Repair your disk and you're all set =) For free." -

Thanks for the tip saucey. I did as you instructed but it failed with an error and reported that the disk had not been repaired. Very handy to have though - I'm sure it will save my bacon one day.
