Neon,
will this backup my C:drive to my external hard drive or do I still need to buy Ghost or Acronis? If I do, which is the better(easier/cheaper) one to use?

*Mac Only*

AppleJack 1.5 for Leopard

AppleJack is a user friendly troubleshooting assistant for Mac OS X. With AppleJack you can troubleshoot a computer even if you can't load the GUI, or don't have a startup CD handy. AppleJack runs in Single User Mode and is menu-based for ease of use.

Using AppleJack, you can repair your disk, repair permissions, validate the system's preference files, and get rid of possibly corrupted cache files. The important thing is that you don't need another startup disk with you. All you need to do is restart in Single User Mode (SUM), by holding down the command and s keys at startup, and then typing applejack, or applejack auto (which will run through all the tasks automatically), or applejack auto restart (which will also restart the computer automatically at the end of the process).

1-4a Rename

Some time ago I enquired through this forum how I could bulk re-name files, i.e rename many files with a common attribute at the same time. I had a situation where I had several hundred .jpg photo files which I wanted to merge into a common folder but, being downloads from a camera card at different times, many of the filenames were duplicated with a name like IMG_00XX. This little utility solved the problem. I simply renamed a folder full of IMG_XXXX files as PIC_XXX and so, no conflict on merging.
It doesn't need to be installed, it's only 666kb size so it can be put onto a floppy. It has "basic" and "advanced" modes and, with my limited use of it today, it looks good.
If anyone out there needs to be able to re-name a folder full of files, for whatever reason, have a look at this little "freebie".

Sounds good. Tried to download, got a message - Internet Download Manager 30 day trial expired, asked to obtain paid version -

Is there another free way of downloading? Had no problem with Firefox before installing IDM.
