Okay, I'm an idiot.  How do I make a clone?

I want to install Leopard on my Mac Pro. But at the moment I don't have anything backed up (I know, spank me). A friend who is totally computer proficient suggested I buy a new internal hard drive, install it, clone my hard drive onto the new drive, perform a clean install (erase and install) of Leopard on the hard drive I'm currently using and then use migration assistant to move my existing files back onto the drive running Leopard and finally, designate the new drive that I used for the clone as the destination drive for backups created with Time Machine. That sounds like a very thorough, logical, not-too-difficult plan. Unfortunately, there are a few problems:
A) I have no idea how to go about creating a clone. I've searched this forum, but can't seem to find any instructions. Someone at the Apple store said, "Oh, just download SuperDuper." But I just checked the SuperDuper site and it says their current version of SuperDuper isn't completely compatible with Leopard. If I use SuperDuper to create the clone will there be problems? If I use SuperDuper will it be obvious how to use the software to create a clone?
B) Can you simply use DiskUtility to create a clone of the hard drive on the new drive?
A few facts to help you: The machine is a MacPro with Intel processors. I'm running OS X (10.4.11) with a 750 GB hard drive (with approximately 500 GB available space). I bought a 750 GB hard drive (exactly like the existing hard drive) to use as the destination drive for the clone.
Any help/advice would be appreciated!

SuperDuper - http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html - will do the job for you cloning your current system - I expect there should be a Leopard update out soon
Or Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) - http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html - will clone your current system and will work with Leopard - I use it and am happy with it - other prefer SuperDuper - both are good
With CCC cloning is easy - run CCC and tell it to clone your system to your new hard drive and at the end bless it (literally) so you can boot from it if need be

  • I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro  Mac OS X 10.7.4  2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
    Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
    Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
    There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

  • The Mac HD has booting issues - how do I make a clone that is free of these?

    I spilled water on my MacBook Air (10.6.8) and now it has booting issues.
    When I shut it down, the power button doesn't work to boot it. But when I close the lid, it powers up. However even when I shut it down AND close the lid, it keeps booting up and staying on.
    So I have to send it for repairs.
    I cloned the Mac HD using Carbon Copy Cloner and put the clone using Migration Assistant onto the new machine (MacBook Pro - 10.7.2). Now the MacBook Pro won't boot at all. Before this, it was working fine.
    So I want to know how to make a clone of the Mac HD of the MacBook Air that won't have booting issues when I migrate the clone to another machine.
    I have to make a clone of the MacBook Air before I send it off for repairs as the last back up is quite old and out of date.
    Also the fact that the Mac HD of the MBA has booting issues affects the ability to access the Boot Camp (Windows 7 partition) as now I can't even boot the new machine. (But I am asking about Boot Camp in another section.)
    It seems like a catch-22 situation. I can't fix the booting problem until I send it off to the repair center to get the computer fixed. And yet the booting problem is preventing me from making a usable clone of the Mac HD.
    I think the booting problem is a software problem because the MacBook Pro was working perfectly before I migrated the Mac HD of the MBA onto it, The MBP is only two days old. I migrated another Mac HD backup  (one I made before the booting issues came up) onto the MBP on the first day I bought it and the MBP worked fine.
    Do you think I will just have to clone things separately manually? I mean should I format an external hard drive, plug it in the USB port, and transfer the files I need to save? What files/folders should I save? Can I move folders or do I have to move files? I have many files in Desktop, Downloads, Documents. I also want to save my applications. I want to save the BookMarks of Opera, Firefox.
    Will this take a long time? I have used about 200 GB of the MBA's hard drive.
    Any advice? Thanks.
    I don't use Time Machine and am not confident about using it. Will it be substantially different to CCC in the way it clones files? Will a Time Machine clone after migration contaminate the second computer with booting issues?
    I am not so worried about the booting issues on the second computer. I know it's from the faulty clone and nothing to do with the machine itself. I can take it to Apple Genius Bar and they will probably be able to reinstall a new operating system on the machine and I can start from scratch, I think. I am more worried about how to save and restore my data from the old machine. Thanks for any advice.

    Ok, you used Migraine Assistant to try to transfer the account from the clone drive to the MBP and it didn't work, that's ok, it can be fixed by command r booting into Lion Recovery and simply erasing and reinstalling Lion from Apple's servers. (AppleID)
    I suggest you transfer the account data manually because the clone is a copy of a failing drive/corruption, use the same name in System Preferences >Accounts, drag and drop files transfer and hold option key, click on Purchases in crapStore to redownload to the new machine, install other programs from fresh sources. Cleaner machine that way. So that shoudl fix the MBP.
    in the future, try to avoid Apple's "answers" like Migraine Assistant as much as possible, it's really not reliable in any sense in actuality.
    So I want to know how to make a clone of the Mac HD of the MacBook Air that won't have booting issues when I migrate the clone to another machine.
    You can't boot a clone of OS X from another type Mac on another type Mac, only the same exact machine model.
    In your case the Migraine Assistant didn't work, so you'll have to manually install.
    Also the fact that the Mac HD of the MBA has booting issues affects the ability to access the Boot Camp (Windows 7 partition) as now I can't even boot the new machine. (But I am asking about Boot Camp in another section.)
    Well it's possible that Windows or something messed up the GUID partition map of the Mac, why it has booting issues. Likely why Migraine Assistant didn't work.
    You'll have to set up BootCamp again on the new MBP machine, talk to Microsoft about validation on the new machine and return your Windows files, programs from fresh sources.
    Likely you got malware and it was trying to write to the boot sector of the Mac, mistaking the MBR portion of the GPT for a full Windows one. This also happens when Mac users try to install Linux on their Mac's.
    Unless you need full hardware performance, you really should look at virtualization software like VMFusion, Parallels Desktop or even VirtuaBox (might be outdated) and run Windows in a window on OS X instead. Much easier to recover from malware that way.
    It seems like a catch-22 situation. I can't fix the booting problem until I send it off to the repair center to get the computer fixed. And yet the booting problem is preventing me from making a usable clone of the Mac HD.
    Well if you make a clone, it's going to be junk any.
    What you need to do is fix the new MBP machine first then use Firewire Target Disk Mode (firewire 800/400 cable and adpater if needed) and grab a copy of your files off the sick Mac or off the sick clone.
    The drive is likely fine, it's just not booting and that could mean some sort of malware/drive/data corruption.
    You'll have to install third party software on the new fixed MacBook Pro to read the NTFS drive format of the Windows 7 bootcamp parittion when the sick MacAir is in Firewire Target Disk Mode.

  • How do I make a clone of the Boot camp partition?

    My MacBook Air (10.6.8) is having problems and I need to send it away for repairs. Before I do that I want to make a clone of everything and put it on my new MacBook Pro (10.7.2)
    I am making a clone of the Mac partition using Carbon Copy Cloner. That has worked well as a backup for me.
    The only problem is I need to make a clone of the Boot camp partition (Windows partition) and I don't know how.
    I want to make an exact clone so it has all the operating system, files and everything.
    The other question is when should I make a Bootcamp partition?
    Should I migrate the clone to the new mac using Migration Assistant, and then make a boot camp partition? And then what are the exact steps putting the clone onto the boot camp partition?
    Thanks for any help.

    Here are some previous coments made on this forun regarding backup of a Boot Camp  partition. I use Paragon HDMSuite 2011.
    Casper 6 does seem to work;
    WinClone was handy for XP users but doesn't for instance check for errors during the backup only during restore.  Winclone was discontinued at 2.2, all 2.3 versions are hacks (removal of the OS check seems to be the main thing) There has been no deveoplment or support for a while now.
    Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously
    Ghost 15 - probably not
    Casper 6 works for Windows on Boot Camp only
    CopyCatX is more lengthy and sector copy so takes the longest.
    Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great
    and they have CampTune
    Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup.
    I have also used Casper, Clonezilla and Paragon but less regularly, Casper failed a few times, I stopped using it, Clonezilla worked but took forever (for me) Paragon (which I have only used twice) was the best but my sample is limited.
    I have restored from DU, CCC, SuperDuper and TM, they all worked, TM was slower but not a lot, you can boot from the others, which I prefer.
    HDM 2011 can do either offline or online backups, the difference is that with an offline backup, the entire partition (or disk) is unallocated. In an online backup, the backup utility is running against a partition that may be making changes to itself. When you run CCC or SD! in OS X, you're running an online backup. However, I would recommend (at least for the first backup) that you boot from the HDM recovery CD to do an offline backup. This will ensure that you have an *exact* copy of the parition/disk.
    Since this is you first time backing up your partition, I would suggest using one of the Backup Wizards. They'll guide you through the backup process and keep you from doing something wrong  Similarly, use the Restore Wizard to restore your partition/drive.
    HDMS 2011-  back up a dual-boot Mac to an external USB drive, do:
    1) Boot from the Recovery Disk (I'm assuming that the backup hard drive is attached before you reboot)
    2) Select Paragon Hard Disk Manager
    3) Launch the Backup Wizard by selecting Wizards > Backup Wizard
    4) Select the Mac hard disk (not the partition) where it asks "what to backup"
    5) On the Backup Destination page, select "Save data to any local drive or a network share"
    6) Hit the radio button for the "Save to local drive option" (unless you got a boatload of DVD's  )
    7) Select the external USB drive as the backup destination
    8) Look over and correct the name and comments
    9) Hit Next to start the backup
    When it's done, you have an entire copy of your Mac's HD saved to external media.
    If you need to recover your HD, just run the Recovery Wizard and reverse the process.

  • How do i make a clone to an external drive w/o erasing data

    I have a 500gb external firewire that i want to make a clone too.
    how do i use carbon copy cloner or super duper ( i have both..which one is better) to make a clone to the external without erasing the data already on the drive?
    i want to make a clone before i delete a partition on my main drive so i can install bootcamp on it. (i guess u can only use bootcamp assistant if your main drive is only one partition)

    You can't. either of the programs will erase the drive it is cloning to. If you have enough space you can create an extra partition on your external (this can be done without erasing any data) and clone your internal to the empty partition. both CCCloner and superduper! are great programs and you can use either one.

  • How hard to make an clone aim client?

    how hard is it to make my own chat program but it can also communicate with aim and msn?

    Because AOL and Microsoft don't distribute the specifications to those freely. It hurts their advertising and they'd be scared people would use it and make their own servers and such..... Business.

  • How do I make a backup of an external disk?

    I have an external disk that is formatted in Mac Extended Journal on which I keep movie files and photos.
    I had some bad experiences in the past with my first MacBook Air (version 2.1) in which external drives kept getting erased without any good reason. I think it's due to the fact that I had to connect a USB cord to another computer when I had an external drive plugged into the MBA because the MBA could not power it on its own.
    I thought it was due to a bad external drive and I took it to Samsung service center and complained that their drive was malfunctioning. I got a refund. But later on, I found that the same thing happened to another external drive and to a USB flash drive, so I realized that it had nothing to do with the external disks and something to do with the computer. I used the same drives that got erased on a newer MacBook Air (version 3.2) and I never had the sudden erasure problem.
    Anyhow that's the background to why I want to make a clone of the external disks in my possession. If for some reason, the external disk gets suddenly erased, I would like a copy somewhere in safekeeping so that I do not lose all my movies.
    How do I make a clone of an external disk?
    I will be using a MacBook Air (3.2) for this task. It has two USB ports. Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to do this? Just choose a source disk (external disk I want to clone) and a destination disk (the external disk where I want it to be cloned to)?

    Many backup utilities like Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper can be used to clone drives.  They can also clone boot drive to make bootable clones.  They use "smart" backups in that they only update what has been changed from the previous backup.   That is what you need too since you intend to use USB which is not that fast.
    With CCC you can set up a task to start the backup automatically when you plug the backup in and it mounts.
    FWIW I use CCC to make daily backups of my disks (scheduled backups can be done by these utilities).

    Manoj: Okay.
    Manoj: Thank you for informing.
    You: The disc is not inserted at this time
    Manoj: Please insert the disc.
    Manoj: Copy the folder contents on your disc and then try installing the application.
    You: How do I do that?
    Manoj: Please insert the disc, open the disc folder, copy the entire Photoshop Elements 13 folder to the desktop.
    You: This says it will take 50 minutes to copy them. Is that correct as i have to go some place soon?
    Manoj: The files are huge in size, so it will take a while.
    You: It now says there are 14 minutes remaining
    Manoj: Thank you for informing.
    Manoj: If you want to try installing the application later, you can try installing the application from Desktop by running the setup file from the desktop app.
    You: There is still 8 minutes remaining. When this gets loaded to the desk top then what do I do.
    Manoj: Once the copy of files is completed. Remove the disc and then open the desktop Photoshop Elements 13 folder, run the setup file in that folder to start the installation.
    You: Ok. It still says it will take another 5 minutes to load
    Manoj: Thank you for informing.
    You: Now at 2.30 minutes remaining
    Manoj: Thank you for informing.
    You: Ok. The loading to desk top must be done & I have removed the disc
    Manoj: Thank you,.
    Manoj: Now open the folder which we copied now.
    Manoj: Run the Setup.exe file from the folder.
    You: i tried running the set up file but it says other items are open. I tried to close the one for sign i again and it will not close.
    Manoj: May I know the error it is showing as while trying to close the other installation window?
    You: The sign in window keeps asking for a ID & Password. When i put them in is says I must reset the pass word
    Manoj: Okay.
    Manoj: Close that previous installation window which is asking to reset the password and run the setup file now from the new folder which we copied now.
    You: I said it would send notice to my email but I checked both the email and the junk mail and nothing arrived
    Manoj: Robert, since the previous installation is started from the disc, we need to close that window and start installing from the desktop Photoshop Elements folder.
    You: Ok I got everything closed and will retry
    Manoj: Thank you.
    You: The installer initiation ran and now I am back to the same problem.. When I try to sign in it says I need a new pass word but nothing happens
    Manoj: Okay, Please allow me 2-3 minutes while I check and help you.
    Manoj: Thank you for staying online.

    I had to re-install XP on my laptop. I then installed itunes again. Now I want to restore my music from backup CD's. But the option device under file is greyed out. I can't select restore from backup. How do I make the restore option active? i have an IPOD nano.

    I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
    Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
    Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
    If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
    (If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Extreme Noob Question-How do I make it run by itself?

    Well recently I found the source code for Asteroids so I copy it into JCreator and save it as a .java file. Than I make a html file so I can play it. Everything runs fine but how do I make it a stand alone program? I want to be able to put Asteroids on my desktop and click on it and I want the game to run. Well I've been having some trouble. 1. I don't know which file I put on my desktop the .java one or the html one? Also no matter which one I choice, when I click on it, it still asks me what to run it with. I find Java and click on it. That a message poops up on the screen that says "Unable to launch the specified application" and than I remember that when I was looking at Asteroids' source code it said that it was a applet. So I don't know how to change it into an application and I�m not completely sure what I use to run it with. Yes I know in know I rambled (In my topic) but can some help me out?

    Yes I know I should learn to make programs without using JCreator but that might take a while (I'm guessing months, if not more) but I just want to do this one program. So does it need to be a application? Or if it okay that it's a applet? Also when I make it into a JAR file well it be able to run by itself?

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!
