Looking for a replacement for iTool

I have been using iTool with 10.5.x to run daily, weekly and monthly scripts, as well as cache cleanup, permissions repair, disc verify and repair, etc. I also was using Applejack. I recently upgraded to 10.6 (updated to 10.6.2 now) and upon opening iTool and checking for updates it appears that this app is no longer in development or available. I have also looked into a newer version of Applejack for 10.6.x, which has not been released yet either. Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement of these apps? I am having problems booting and have booted up with the 10.6 install DVD to run Disc Utility, but it doesn't repair a couple of items and the iMac will not start up completely. I get to the blue screen right before the welcome screen and the spinning gears will show up, disappear, then show up, disappear, and so on. I fear that I may have a bad HDD but would also like suggestions for diag options. My warranty is now expired so I can't just simply go to the Genius Bar and get free assistance. Any suggestions?

Have you done this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Your hard drive may be OK but if the directory is too corrupted to be repaired, then you will need to reformat the hard drive. Please report what the DU errors said.

  • Looking for a replacement for Terminal from XFCE [SOLVED]

    I'm looking for a terminal to replace Terminal from XFCE. The requirements are simple. It needs to be GTK2 based for full clipboard functionality and to not be ugly. There needs to be a right click menu to access copy/cut/paste. And I need to be able to toggle the file menu or access all functions from the mouse. LXTerminal comes very close to this except the file menu is just on and the new window launch keyboard shortcut doesn't work. I don't care either way about tabs, but a terminal launcher is necessary.
    ----> xterm, rxvt, and the derivatives that I've seen are either too ugly or too feature light. It's too bad because xterm is amazingly quick. <----
    So why not just use Terminal? There are times when it seems like there are some runaway processes in the background and it starts to lag behind the mouse when moving. I don't know if this in fact Terminal, but I'll find out soon enough. It wouldn't be surprising though; Thunar was a major headache for me.

  • Looking for a replacement for quicken home and small business.

    I run a small business out of my home and have used Quicken Home & Small Business for years.  I still do by running Windows on my Mac via VMWare Fusion.  I need a product that will handle business accounts and personal accounts just like Quicken does. 
    Does anyone know of a suitable replacement?  I am sick of Windows, but love the functionality Quicken Home & Small Business offers.
    Thanks!

    I switched to SEE Finance last week.  The support is good and they state they are going to make several more upgrades to the product.  Right now, no check printing.  I have been able to download from Wells Fargo with no problem and the conversion from Quicken 2007 went as advertised.  Free to download and use - the $29 license fee gets rid of the invitation to purchase and register that pops up when you start the program.  Otherwise, there are no features you are locked out of.

  • OS X replacement for Microsoft's SyncToy

    Microsoft released SyncToy for download last year and I began to rely on it for basic syncing between my flash drive and my PC. (If you don't know what SyncToy is, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/prophoto/synctoy.msp x.)
    A few weeks ago, I bought my first Mac, and I have been looking for a replacement for this program since. Anybody know of any good file sync utilities? Freeware is better. Thanks!

    Anybody out there???
    I've discovered ChronoSync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/site/Pages/ChronoSync/chrono_overview.html), but I would prefer freeware. Its just for syncing one of my documents folders with my flash drive. Please help!

  • Replacement for the methods in JCo 3.0

    Hi,
    We are migrating from JCo 2 to JCo 3.0 in this we are facing problem for the replacement for some methods which mention below :
    JCO.Cline.getURL()
    JCO.Client.getSystemId()
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can also look at implementing bNavigator which has been developed by <a href="http://www.entelsoft.com/">Entelsoft</a>, as a BEx browser replacement.
    bNavigator does not aim to compete with the Enterprise Portal - rather it is complementary with some unique advantages. It has "Powered by Netweaver" certification for installation in the Enterprise Portal or it can run standalone on the SAP Netweaver J2EE Application Server that comes with BI 7.0.
    More information can be found at <a href="http://www.bnavigator.com/">www.bnavigator.com</a>.
    Cheers
    Adrian
    [P.S. I work for Entelsoft, so my apologies if this comes across as a shameless plug :)...Please feel free to take any discussion on bNavigator off-line, by submitting your queries via the [url=http://www.entelsoft.com/]Entelsoft Website[/url]

  • Replacement for Acrobat PDFWriter

    Any suggestion for a replacement for the Adobe 5.0 Acrobat PDFWriter print driver ?
    I've written a VB application in Access 2003 that
    -- prints temporary PDF documents to file using Adobe 5.0 Acrobat PDFWriter print driver
    -- creates bookmarked PDF documents from these files using Adobe Acrobat 6.0.
    I'm preparing to convert from XP to Windows 7.
    -- Acrobat PDFWriter print driver isn't compatible with Windows 7
    -- Adobe's replacement Adobe PDF print driver is less programmable because it requires

    Read the Distiller API documentation. You can turn off the prompt and

  • Going to an apple store and asking for a replacement

    Hi
    Is it possible for me to go into my local apple store and ask for my iPod Touch 2nd Generation to be fixed?
    It has lasted me a good amount of years and it has finally started to die, I was wondering if I could go into the store and ask for a replacement for a knocked off fee. I've been told by a few people that the above method can be done in a store, I was checking if I could get online clarification if this was true.
    Also could it have the option to be replaced with a later generation for a slighty raised fee?
    Thanks
    All help appreciated.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    Likely not worth it for a 2G iPod
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Does anyone here have suggestions for a replacement for this mobo? What other MSI brand board would be a good candidate? SLI and Non SLI are welcome.

    Try disabling onboard LAN and adding a seperate PCI LAN card.
    Again, I can't stress this enough, my infinite loop rebooting problems disappeared when I disabled onboard LAN and added a Linksys LNE100TX v4 card.
    And that Infinite Loop problem wasn't with an NVidia card, it was with the onboard X200 Express chip. It seems like the onboard LAN is the cause of the infinite loop error.
    Actually the Onboard LAN is not in the Xpress 200 chipset itself.  Each company uses there choice of Onboard Lan chips which would mean it is either an issue in the way MSI designed the chip on the board, a problem with the Bios, OR a problem with that lan Chip.

  • Im looking for a replacement of "Default Zoom Level" addon.

    Im looking for a replacement of "Default Zoom Level" addon. Why is this disabled in Firefox 5/6? Is there a similar addon or how can I set the default zoom?

    Did you do a compatibility check?
    That is required in cases where the extension has a maxVersion (in this case 4.0.*) set in the XPI file and the server has the correct compatibility data ([[https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=2&id={D9A7CBEC-DE1A-444f-A092-844461596C4D}&version=4.5&maxAppVersion=6.0&status=userEnabled&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=5.0&appOS=Windows&appABI=x86-msvc&locale=en-US&currentAppVersion=5.0&updateType=97 8.*]]).

  • Looking for a replacement postscript fax card

    I have a legacy apple laser select 360f, with a postscript fax card that appears to have failed. The printer works almost as well as the day it was purchased, back in 1994, and has output 153,000 pages, which is just 3,000 pages over the halfway mark towards its originally declared minimum life cycle.
    i am interested in hearing from anyone who might have a replacement postscript fax card for this printer, for sale.

  • Looking for a replacement smartphone for my Treo 755s

    Earlier this year, I bought a refurbished Treo 755s, the ebay seller it was new. I bought the Treo 755s to replace my dying Tungsten E2 and thought it would be nice to have my Palm and cell phone together. I have not been happy with this Treo 755s. The past few months, every time I hotsync, it needs to reset. I can not beam wit it. The camera is terrible. 
    I'm looking for a replacement smartphone. I want something with the nice features of Palm (calendar, contacts, memos, tasks & photo album), a good camera and easy to use phone. I also do not have Windows Outlook. I have Verizon cell phone service.

  • IWeb - looking for replacements for 'blog' & 'photos'

    With a deep Sigh..., I am finally facing up to the fact that I must move my iWeb Websites to another hosting sight and deal with the loss of the intergrated blog & photo pages that come with iWeb.  I kept hoping for a miracle but now I must get on with it.  I would be grateful for advice from those who have dealt with this issue already. 
    My biggest concern is finding suitable replacements for the blog and photo galleries that can be embedded into iWeb having a matching 'look and feel'.
    I have developed many robust (well of 50) websites with iWeb and they are active websites.   The websites have:
    Custom layouts (i.e. not using the suppled defalut template)
    Blog pages (used as 'News' entries)
    Photo pages
    iMovie
    HTML Snipits
    Many have been designed for use with charity events and recieve quite a bit of traffic (see stats below) before and during the event.
    As for the hosting - we will use GoDaddy or other Domain Provide with Hosting services.   We have already moved some of the more less complicated websites over. 
    I love iWeb (I know it has it's faults and I have probably pushed it to it's limits but it has handled it well).  I have tried looking at other products like Rapidweaver & Freeway Pro (Dreamweaver would be out of the question for me as I'm not a programmer - I can deal with some basic html code for snippets and such - but that's my limit).  My partner has begun looking at Wordpress.  However, the biggest drawback from what I've seen from these other products is that I can't duplicate the freedom and ease of designing a template/layout the way I want it.  I have tried to duplicate a website I have done in iWeb and I simply can't do it with these other products (at least without a great deal of work - if at all).
    So, I wish to continue using iWeb for the main website desgin but desparately need to find good replacements for the blog and photo galleries to move over my existing websites.
    Please HELP!  
    This is my 1st time up on the forums so I do apologise if this has been dealt with before.  In my searches - I just haven't really found an answer which is why I'm submitting this question.
    Many thanks, MichelleSC
    P.S. I have been an Apple user since Apple began and have always raved about their products.   This is the 1st time I have been frustration with Apple.  I really wish they would continue to develop iWeb and keep Mobileme.

    Do you have visitors post comments to your blog or it is one the only includes your entries?  If it's the atter then you can continue to use the iWeb blog. If you currently have visitors comment on the entires you will have to move to a new blogging system, one of those suggested by Ethmoid and Jeff.
    As for photo albums I've just run across a new site called ZangZig which offers albums similar to MobileMe galleries with most of it's features plus one that MMe didn't have.  The capability of selling your photos. 
    One convenient feature of it is that it can move/copy photos from your existing MMe galleries as well as your iPhoto library and other sources:
    As for for iWeb can do after MMe is gone read the following:
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.  There's a link in the tutorial to download the file that one needs to be edited and replaced in existing slideshows and in the iWeb application for future slideshows. Once replaced in the application it's back to life as usual for iWeb.
