Apple Extras

There’s no longer an Apple Extras folder, but several of the items that used to be in this folder live on in new locations. For example:

  • The AppleScript folder is now in the Applications folder.

  • Digital Color Meter, which used to be in the Monitor Extras folder, is now located in ApplicationsUtilities. See Chapter 9.

  • The Font Extras folder, which contained the FontSync control panel, is gone, but FontSync itself is alive and well. The AppleScripts that let you use FontSync sit in the hard drive’s LibraryScriptsFontSync Scripts folder.

  • The Mac OS Runtime for Java folder is gone, but the Apple Applet Runner, which was inside that folder, has been replaced with the Applet Launcher in Applications Utilities.

Most of the other Apple Extras items—miscellaneous folders like FireWire, Iomega, and Apple LaserWriter Software—have disappeared because they’ve been incorporated into Mac OS X itself.
