# IMPORTANT: --For Catalina or newer OS-- First reboot apple in restore mode (hold CMD-R when apple logo shows up during reboot) | |
# and from menu->util->terminal run | |
# promt> csrutil disable # to disable protection for file name changes | |
# IMPORTANT: Don't forget to logout from your Apple ID in the settings before running it! | |
# IMPORTANT: You will need to run this script from Recovery. In fact, macOS Catalina brings read-only filesystem which prevent this script from working from the main OS. | |
# This script needs to be run from the volume you wish to use. | |
# E.g. run it like this: cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD && sh /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/sabri/Desktop/disable.sh | |
# WARNING: It might disable things that you may not like. Please double check the services in the TODISABLE vars. | |
# Get active services: launchctl list | grep -v "\-\t0" | |
