I supplied that to encourage looking at what version of applejack you're currently installing, but that seems to be up to date. applejack 1.5 is working on my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz under 10.5.7 and also on my Yikes! under Tiger 10.4.11. I'm stumped as to why it isn't working on your system.

The article you cite from Sept. 2008, nearly a year ago, shows AppleJack's Leopard version is 1.5.1, not 1.5. There is no groundswell of people reporting problems like you're having, but perhaps getting version 1.5.1 would be a good start at a possible solution. You also might want to use the AppleJack support page and AppleJack forums for possible answers. I'd suggest uninstalling your old version of AppleJack before upgrading to 1.5.1.

Am currently running applejack again under 10.5.7 with success. I tried just leaving my "phantom s" and typing applejack ... it just gave ma a simple one-liner something to the effect "command not recognized" ... then typing applejack again launched the app. Maybe you're not hooked into the partition you installed applejack onto when running in Single User (cmd-s) Mode.

I'm just trying to guess here ... not being one of the gurus ... Maybe you need to do a cmd-opt-P-R to reset PRAM, Startup, then Restart and try running applejack via Single User Mode. You are booting from the same partition that applejack got installed on aren't you? Are you typing in the word applejack, using all lower case letters?

On Startup or Restart, hold down command-S until you see a sudden outpouring of white text on dark background. And when it asks for applejack, just type in applejack and hit Return ... you may have to backspace once or twice, if the Startup catches your command-S and tries to input those characters.
