Has anyone tried to run applejack 1.6 under OS X 10.7?
The applejack v1.6 worked great with Snow Leopard and is still installed in my iMac after upgrading to Lion.
Snce I am not sure if applejack 1.6 is compatible with Lion, I have not tried to run it and forgot how to remove it. The second part of this posting is a request for the correct way to remove applejack 1.6?
Install it and you'll quickly find out.

It is already installed and when I restart witht he Cmd-S keys depressed, applejack 1.6 comes up on the black soft boot screen and it waiting for the command to do its thing.
I chickened ourt and was relluctant to let applejack 1.6 work on OS X 10.7.
Something tells me I need to remove it and wait for a Lion version.
been wondering the same thing...come on, go ahead! u got a backup right? cheers 🙂
Applejack only does a few things none of which should be hazardous. It usually checks itself first, so if it cannot do something it just skips it.
AJ runs fsck, repairs permissions, cleans out some caches.
Okay guys..... I bit the bullet and did a restart depressing the Cmd-s and when appllejack came up waiting for a command I gave it
applejack auto restart
It did its thing with no errors and told OS X 10.7 to restart. The Lion rstarted and looks normal. I guessd I can say that applejack version 1.6 works with Mac OS X 10.7.
End of posting until the next version of appljack is released.
Or Command + R and use Disk Utility, enable hidden feature to make hidden partitions accessible and to check the health.
LCC then sLCC is now Lion Cache Cleaner and can be used also.
I would be more likely to use the Recovery Mode if I thought there was or might be a problem though.
Thanks
Same here, did the cmd+s and run a autorun... NO problemos 🙂
I read somewhere that the creator of Applejack was wondering if there was any need for a Lion version because of the extra partition Lion installs to perform the same tasks. I installed Lion by downloading it and creating an installation disk on a thumb drive so I don't have that extra partition.
I think if you'll run Disk Utility, you'll see at least three partitions on your boot volume. Two will be greyed out; disk0s1 and Recovery HD. That last one is what the installer adds to the boot volume and is what is used when you Restart with comman+R pressed. These are 'hidden' partitions but you can 'mount them with the "Mount" command or icon/button in the DU toolbar. The Recovery HD is ~650MB, so it's not really using much space on larger drives.
This is an older post, but…
It was my understanding that AppleJack ( capital A and capital J, version 1.6 as referenced in this thread) is a totally different animal from applejack (version 0.8, etc).
A visit to the original applejack at sourceforge.net yesterday, and drilling down through its links, informed me that there is no current version for Lion 10.7.x.

I know that it's not uncommon for an author of freeware not to keep the site updated, however.
Does anyone have definitive information on this?
Tried unsuccesfully to remove my previous post.
This the correct EDITED version:
