TinkerTool System 9.89 for MacOS
TinkerTool System 9 is a collection of system utility features helping you in performing advanced administration tasks on Apple Macintosh computers. The application makes use of a self-adapting user interface which automatically adjusts to the computer model and to the version of macOS you are running.
All options available in the current situation are accessible via “panes”, very similar to the System Settings application. The features are controlled via a single window which allows you to use the application as a general toolbox and First Aid assistant.
This includes
- built-in maintenance features of macOS, usually not visible on the graphical user interface,
- extended file operations, not available in the macOS Finder,
- the possibility to access advanced system settings which are not visible in System Settings,
- graphical user interfaces for “pro” features for which Apple doesn’t provide any graphical interface in modern versions of macOS any longer,
- genuine and unique features of TinkerTool System, designed to resolve typical real-world problems of administrators and to fix the effects of certain defects (“bugs”) in the operating system,
- features to protect your privacy,
- an emergency tool to troubleshoot and repair macOS in cases where the normal user interface is no longer starting correctly or the user account of the system administrator has been damaged,
- functions to collect advanced information about the hardware, operating system, and applications.
What’s New:
Release 9.89 (Build 260511)
- Added new diagnostic feature to determine name and folder of a file system object when only its numeric identification (inode number) is known. Disk-related diagnostic messages of macOS often refer to inode numbers only, not disclosing the affected file names.
- Added new feature when creating ISO disk images from macOS installers: In addition to a disk-like layout optimized for startup of Virtual Machines hosted by macOS, it is now possible to enforce the explicit creation of a hybrid HFS+/UDF DVD layout which can achieve higher compatibility with general VM hosts.
- To handle the known bug in macOS where the logging subsystem returns data for a time interval other than the one requested, TinkerTool System now shows a detailed hint which time to specify to actually get data.
- If issues with the macOS data protection policy for TinkerTool System have been detected, the user interface will now indicate this more prominently.
- The heuristics to determine the expected file sizes when downloading IPSW files from Apple has been updated.
- The list of macOS services performing automatic cleanup of storage space has been updated.
- The list of known macOS startup services has been updated.
- The user interface clarifies some aspects when computing the size of APFS snapshots.
Compatibility: macOS 15.0 or later
