No. When you tell the machine to shutdown, it first quits all your processes, then "logs you out", then quits all the system processes, then runs down the kernel, and finally kills the power. >Is this the WRONG WAY to close the computer if I want to use Applejack? No, it's fine. Even selecting restart is fine. They key is that you must hold down cmd-s when you boot to get into Single User mode, so you can run AppleJack. >QUIT 2: I am a user and am logged in, when I am done with the >computer I use the APPLE MENU/ LOG OUT <NAME>...to quit. > >Question: Is this the missing instruction that will cause a problem >if not followed? > >If I follow this instruction: >APPLE MENU/ LOG OUT <NAME>...to quit.
