My iMac is running slow. How do I run AppleJack to fix it?
From time to time my Apple iMac gets really slow and sometimes it doesn't even startup. I've researched a couple options online; and I heard that AppleJack might be the best solution for me. The problem is, it seems highly technical to use. Do I need to restart my iMac in order to get it to work?
Should I also run disk utility that comes bundled through OSX? Is it possible that AppleJack will damage my iMac and make the problem worse?
