    Did you try starting up single user (command s) and the typing applejack?  Then follow instructions from there.

    Thanks DanPage, I realized that there isn't a visual app on the HD that I was looking for. For those that have the same problem as I did, the sequence is simple. Restart your computer holding down the command key and s key. You'll get a black page with a ton of white script I would call it. When it stops you type in APPLEJACK AUTO RESTART. From there it should work its magic. As long as I have you Dan or anyone else, maybe you can solve another problem I have. When I run disk utility with my Snow Leopard start up disk, repair permissions, it gets to a certain point them hits something that stall it for a long time,(the disk making a clunking sound) eventually saying repair permissions failed. I figured it was the disk, but when I run applejack, it says hard disk fine, runs repairing permissions (many repairs) to a point and then I get a series of lines of dots beggining with a plus sign like this  +................................................................. I let it run all night and after 10 hours I had 7 lines like that and applejack had still not completed and restarted. I had to do a forced power off to get out of it. I ran applejack on one of my daughters similar Macbook (10.6.8) and it ran completely through and restarted and fixed everything. Her previous problems have been elevitated. Any idea what is up with mine. I've tried it several times with the same result. Basically, something is blocking my computer from completing permissions repair. Tnx in advance for any advice.

    Instead of running repair permissions from the disc, run the disk repair first.

     

    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.

     

    Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.

    Select your language.

    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.

    Select Disk Utility.

     

    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.

    Click Repair Disk.

    Restart your computer when done.

     

    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
