Hello Mac heads.! I just downloaded Onyx for tiger. All went well. But I try to launch onyx from my applications and it doesn't offer checking the S.M.A.R.T. status so I can check my disk. Everything else appears. Uninstall only, forums, website etc.

Use Disk Utility instead. /Applications / Utilities.

(Mac OS X 10.4): Checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk

Might try SMARTReporter 2.3.9 Universal Binary [1.0 MB] (Last version for Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4)...

PS. While this iteration allows you to mark your own post(s) as Correct Answer, or Helpful, it doesn't award you any points. 🙂

Thanks! 🙂

I think you should get Applejack...

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack

After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...

applejack AUTO

Then let it do all 6 of it's things.

At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.

The 6 things it does are...

Correct any Disk problems.

Repair Permissions.

Clear out Cache Files.

Repair/check several plist files.

Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Trash old Log files.

First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)

Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Great to hear, thanks! 🙂

Yeah, you can only mark one reply as Correct Answer & 2 as Helpful, it cannot be undone either.
