Is There Any Difference Between OS Installed From Disc vs A Clone Copy?

Does it make any difference to the computer? Is installing a system from a disc onto your HD any different than if its copied from a cloned backup?
IOW, does one possibly run better, or is less problem prone, than the other?

Thanks.
I ask because I did a completely new install of SL and all the apple apps I have. Then I made a clone with Superduper.
Then I went and did another application install which takes about 11 hours to do and turned out very unstable (no thanks to the maufacturer)
So, I want to go back to my previous clone (although I should check and see if those suite of apps have uninstallers) and I just wanted to know if a clone copied back is just as blessed as a direct install

  • If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?

    If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?
    E.g. I buy it in BestBuy, I still can take the iPad Air to the genius bar if there are problems for the iPad?
    Thanks!

    Yes, as long as you buy a new device from an Apple Authorized reseller (which BestBuy is) then you have the normal Apple one year warranty with it.  Apple will honor that warranty in any of their stores, and anyone with any Apple device is welcome in any Apple retail store with questions or seeking help.

  • Is there any difference between an unlocked Iphone sold in australia and the USA and if i bought one from the USA what would I have to do to use it.

    Is there any difference between an unlocked Iphone sold in australia and the USA and if I bought one from the USA what would I have to do to use it.

    An unlocked phone is an unlocked phone.  It's sold without a SIM card.  You have to get a SIM card from the carrier you want to use, with an account set up, insert the SIM and activate the phone in iTunes.
    Unlocked phones sold by the USA online Apple store can only be shipped to a US address and paid for by a US credit card
    The only difference between an officially unlocked iPhone sold in the US and Australia is the warranty.  The warranty is valid only in the country of sale.  If you buy the phone in the US and return to Australia, if it breaks you have to ship it to a US resident who will get it to Apple and return it to you.  It can't be shipped direct in either direction.

  • Is there any difference between an HP Photosmart 7510 and 7520?

    Is there any difference between the HP Photosmart 7510 printer and the 7520?
    I have tried asking HP. They were not able to help. Presales advice for domestic customers appears to be virtually non existent in the UK.
    All  I know is that Argos deal with Ingram Micro to get the 7520.
    Is the 7520 just a marketing ploy - selling the same product for a different price? 

    Yes there is a difference. They are not the same; however, they are based on the same platform (engine).   The 7520 is the newer model which just replaced the 7510. 
    The main differences is the 7520 includes a hardware fax  built-in whereas the 7510 used the efax utility in order to send faxes.  This essentially allows you to fax directly from one fax machine to another without using a server based method.
    Other features on the 7520 include addition of a Scan to email feature as well as the addition of a USB 2.0 port on the front of the printer.
    You can find the complete 7520 product specs on the hp website:

    Though I work for HP, My posts express MY opinion, and not those of HP.

  • Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G  usb cable? thanks

    Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G  usb cable? thanks

    Yes you have a one year warranty from the date of purchase from Apple. Go to this link and on the bottom right hand side it will ask you to enter your serial number and will tell you if you are still under warranty. http://www.apple.com/support/
    If you are you can take it to a Apple store, or request service online here http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    If it is out of warranty you can google a third party service provider and get it serviced out of warranty. There are two that I know of that provide free diagnostic service. You only pay for shipping and they will tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. They are ifixipodsfast.com and ipodmods.com but there are others also (I just have no experience with them) Good luck and as was stated it should charge from your usb. and just for grins, look at the docking connector on your ipod and see if there is any obstruction that is obvious.

  • Is there any difference between the iPod and the iPod hp?

    I'm new to iPods so forgive me if this is a foolish question but I've been thinking for a few weeks now about getting my daughter the shuffle. I bought the 1gb iPod shuffle hp today in Staples because they had it on sale but I'm wondering if there's any drawbacks to buying this one compared to buying it directly from Apple? As far as the electronics, is there any difference between the iPod and the hp iPod?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Electronically, there is no difference. The only difference comes in support. Apple allows you to call them for 90 days and one issue after you buy them, supporting windows and macs. HP will only help you if you are using a windows, however that support lasts one year. Keep in mind that if you need support, you'll have to go to an HP authorized repair center or another one of HP's options as the apple repair site and apple stores can't help in that regard.

  • Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

    Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

    I think in the context you're using, they are pretty much the same thing. The only carrier on the planet as of this writing with the CDMA iPhone, which does not use SIM cards AT ALL, is Verizon in the U.S.
    There is a difference between an unlocked iPhone and an iPhone sold without a contract, but still locked to a carrier.
    This list details all of the currently supported iPhone carriers. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    Some carriers sell phones that are NOT carrier locked (i.e. SIM FREE). Some sell locked phones, but offer unlocking services for their subscribers. In SOME countries, unlocked phones can be purchased directly from Apple. Apple also sells locked phones, that do not require a term commitment with the carrier at what is usually the same price as an unlocked phone.

  • Is there any difference between the 2 different USB cords when syncing???

    I know this may be a paranoid question to ask but I just wanted to make sure.
    Is there any difference between the newer USB cords with the shorter plug (the end that goes into the iPhone) and the older ones with the bigger, square-shaped plugs that you can pinch on the sides to retract?
    Is there a difference in transfer speed, syncing speed, or reliability, or build quality?
    Just asking cuz the newer USB cord that came with my iPhone 3GS is getting frayed and so I'm using the older one instead.
    Thanks to whoever helps.

    No difference except, as you noted, you have to squeeze the older one to remove it. It's important that you do that so you don't damage it or the iPod.

  • HT1604 Is there any difference between Mac OS Extended Format and ExFat?

    Is there any difference between Mac OS Extended Format and ExFat?  I read in a blog that the ExFat was a good way to format an external drive because it avoided many of the pitfalls of the other formats, as long as it is supported by the operating system.  I tried to format my new Seagate drive, and got an invalid option error.  I was able to format it in Mac OS Extended format.  Can you please tell me if this is similar to ExFat.  Thanks.

    The Mac OS format can only be natively read to and written to by a computer running the Mac OS. This creates a problem if the user wishes his external, or other drive to have seamless compatibility between two different OS's, such as Windows and Mac. Yes, there are software solutions that enable a Windows PC to work with a drive formatted as Mac OS, but it gets complicated if you wish that drive to have compatibility "on the fly" with any PC you may encounter.
    It turns out that the format known as ExFAT is able to be natively read by both a Mac and a PC, without running any additional drivers on either machine. ExFAT also doesn't have some of the limitations of FAT32, which both OS's will also read/write.
    ExFAt is not perfect though. Formatting the drive as Mac OS Extended has some advantages on a Mac. First, it is the only format that permits all functionality of the Mac OS, such as using the drive for Time Machine.
    ExFAt is often thought of as the best middleground for an external partition/drive that needs to have easy cross platform compatibility between a Mac and  PC running Vista or Windows 7.

  • Is there any difference between the digital connection cables?

    Is there any difference between digital connection cables that connect to the back of a computer?  I've seen some with two groups of nine pins and a blade.  I've seen some with a solid group of 27 pins.  I've seen the blade pin and the four pin.  I currently run one that has two groups of nine pins with a blade pin.  I use it for DVI and it does ok.  I wanted to look into the HDMI cable and see how or if things would be different.  I bought a cable that has the 27 pin connector with a blade.  It physically connects but there is no signal.  I checked the monitor and I set it first to HDMI and then tried AUTO.  It made no difference.  I powered it all down and restarted it all and there was no difference.  Do I need to keep looking for a cable that has the same design connection to the PC but has the HDMI connection on the other end.  I may have this info wrong.  I just know I have two large connections at the time but the last cable I tried had one large connector and one that looked like an advanced USB design.  And then is there really any gain between the two as far as video quality or response?

    There are several type of connectors/cables with different effect.
    VGA
    DVI
    HDMI
    To understand more, I would say please look it up.
    Wish you luck,
