You can check out the interesting article and comments at Hi Dane, thanks and sorry for my late reply, but I did not notice your message before. THEN AND ONLY THEN THE REPAIR UTILITIES WILL BE RELEASED TO REBUILD THE DIRECTORY OF APFS DISKS:
#TECHTOOL PRO 11 HOW TO#
IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEND FEEDBACK TO APPLE SO THAT THEY RELEASE DOCUMENTATION ABOUT HOW TO WRITE TO APFS DISKS AS THEY HAVE DONE ABOUT HOW TO READ THEM. SO, THE CONCLUSION IS THAT SOME DEVELOPERS ARE NOT TELLING THE PLAIN TRUTH, BUT AT LEAST ONE IS. Clearly, they do not want to reveal the plain truth, since their living depends on that! Alsoft should not do it!!! Customers deserve the truth! They CANNOT release a new version of DiskWarrior to rebuild directory of APFS until Apple releases the full documentation.
#TECHTOOL PRO 11 UPDATE#
Our developers are now using that documentation to update DiskWarrior to be able to safely rebuild APFS disks. Apple has recently released the APFS format documentation. The next major release of DiskWarrior will include the ability to rebuild APFS disks. Using DiskWarrior 5.2 while started (booted) from High Sierra or Mojave.
#TECHTOOL PRO 11 MAC OS#
Techtool Pro can also repair Apple's new APFS file system, standard Mac OS Extended volumes, as well as MS-DOS (FAT32) and ExFAT formatted volumes.īut says part of the truth in the small print: In addition to native Mac drive formats, Mac OS Extended and APFS, Techtool Pro supports testing and repair of MS-DOS (FAT32) and ExFAT formatted volumes. Rebuild utilities are not supported on APFS.
#TECHTOOL PRO 11 FOR MAC#
The reason is that Apple has not yet released documentation about how to write to such APFS disks, as they did about how to read them by September 2018 (after releasing macOS 10.14 Mojave a year after releasing APFS for Mac and even before for iOS by March 2017!!!). Worst of all, macOS versions above 10.12 Sierra re-format disks as APFS, so users are left in the cold. That includes DiskWarrior (the best in the repair arsenal), TechTool Pro (second choice) and Drive Genius (third choice). Currently, no utility can rebuild the directory of APFS disks on Mac. That way, you can have rescue devices created for your Mac, but bad guys would nonetheless be thwarted in attempting to boot your Mac with any drives they might have handy.There is a lot of misinformation and confusion on this topic. It would seem a lot smarter to be able to designate particular external drives which you give permission to your Mac to boot on. At the moment, the Mojave security features with respect to external hard drives is all or nothing. It can be changed by booting from the macOS recovery drive, but that could be a problem if your internal hard drive suffers a catastrophic failure. By default, Mojave will not allow you to boot off of any external drive. I ran into another unexpected issue when creating my Rescue drive. For the moment those features are keeping my ApplesScripts from running correctly. I am running into some difficulties with all the additional security features of Mojave.
I haven't put it through many paces, but everything seemed to be working just fine. I have upgraded and installed it on both my main hard drive and my rescue partition of my Time Machine backup drive. Micromat claims this version is fully Mojave compatible. For those of you who prefer to have a 3rd party set of utilities, you'll be glad to know that Micromat has recently released TechTool Pro 11:
