Super Duper seems to be frozen

I bought a WD SE16 500 gig hard drive and used Super Duper to clone my original HD. But the progress bar has been stuck at "23.15 GB copied" for the last 30 minutes. Is this normal? This is my first time using Super Duper. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for answering. Last night, I let Super Duper run its course for another hour or so. Then all of a sudden it says that 175 gigs has been copied, and it finished copying shortly thereafter. But now I have another problem.
Last night, I set the new hard drive as my start up disk. Then, I opened up the programs I normally use and "kept them in the dock". I restarted the computer with my newly copied hard drive as the new start up disk, but the dock wipes out everything I add to it and goes back to the default settings and programs. I've done this a few times already and it's always the same result: default dock settings and programs.
Now that I think about it. This happened once right before I cloned my original hard drive. At that time, I downloaded the latest update (security and quicktime). On top of that, keychain keeps popping up and asking me for the password. It never used to do that. Is anyone else having the same problems? Do you guys think it's because of the update or was something corrupted in the copying. Any advice? Thanks!

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

Backing Up - Super Duper vs DU Restore

This question may seem pathetic - any answer would be appreciated.
Is there any difference in the end result of using DU Restore as a backup method as opposed to Super Duper? They both create bootable backups,right?
Thanks in advance, thanks in arrears and all the best for 2007.

They don't call it SuperDupercalifragilisticexpialidocious for nothing!

Time Machine or External Using Super Duper

Apple is going to change the HD on my computer. I know little about Time Machine but I have been backing up my HD using Super Duper and a LaCie external HD. I think it's working out so far. That's what I have done before replacing the HD. So, when the new HD is installed, I can start up using the external and transfer files, i.e., mail, iTunes, Safari, Firefox etc. from the Application file on the external to the Application file on the computer with the new HD without any change in content. Any advantage using Time Machine over the way I intend to do it which should work. Any preferences or none?
I have already posted in a different Topic but on this sight regarding another aspect of this operation.

I generally can get Time Machine to work for a while. It takes way more effort to get it working and to keep it working than you'd expect for a Mac.
The most recent event was when I mounted my new 500 GB Hitachi drive in a new Mercury Elite-AL Pro mini, connected with Firewire 800 to my Mac Mini Server. I formatted the drive, using the 7-pass erase in Disk Utility, with no errors. I used disk utility to verify the file system on the drive before I started using it with Time Machine.
I configure Time Machine to use that new drive, and it starts up, but pukes fairly quickly. I Googled the error messages, and found lots of other people running into the same error.
First off, the disk would not unmount. Had to force unmount it.
Used Disk Utility to Repair the file system. It encountered no errors. So, then I used Disk Warrior to rebuild the directory structure on the disk. It found some things that it corrected. Since then, Time Machine has been working on that disk without further errors (overnight).
How many Apple customers are going to want to deal with force unmounts, running disk utility and disk warrior to tickle Time Machine back into working?
These are my log entries from the most recent Time Machine errors:

So far, it has been running ok on that disk since I force unmounted it and used disk warrior to rebuild its directory structure.
While I was visiting my sister-in-law over Christmas, I had to resurrect Time Machine on my old PowerMac dual G5 I gave her. It's backing up to an internal SATA drive that I previously tested quite extensively. I had to use Disk Warrior to rebuild the directory structure on that disk as well to get Time Machine working again.
It seems to me that time machine, or the device drivers it relies on, needs some work.

Would Super Duper!/Time Machine function w/ Littlle disk - MacBook 2.0

RE: Would Super Duper!/Time Machine function w/ Littlle disk - MacBook 2.0
Thanks to all who read on...
The situation at hand is this...
I have 2 Lacie Little Disk Drives 120 & 250 GB, that I once used to make FW clones from iBook G4 to backup my information , applications etc.
1.0_How would I translate such operations with a substituted Macbook 2.0 Aluminum?
1.1_It seems the Macbook doesnt have any FW ports, nor is their any reliable source stating a T-100-to-Firewire adapter would work with OS 10.5.6...?
THAT being said, the USB ports do recognize the built in Lacie Hi-Speed 2.0 extractable USB Connector. (See Topic: Little disk on a hub with Macbook?)
I have given Super duper a try to make a Leopard (10.5.6) over this Hi-speed USB 2.0 and it seems to have made the backup, although I haven't as of yet actually used this clone -yet.
2.0_How can I take advantage of Leopards Time Machine instead of Super Duper!?
2.1_Whilst still possibly incorporating the usb/firewire Lacie Little disks? (As once sod on THIS very site)

I'll agree with the previous two posts. With TimeMachine, you always have your most current and previous versions of data backed up. With SuperDuper (or CarbonCopyCloner), your data is only as current as the last time you ran a backup. The major benefit of SuperDuper (or CCC) is that you can create a bootable backup. If you need to restore your system from a TimeMachine backup, you'll need to start your system from your install DVD which will allow you to restore your system from your TimeMachine backup. I think the biggest benefit to having an external clone is in case your internal drive fails. Since you can't boot from a TimeMachine backup, if you have a hard drive failure, you're out of luck until you get that drive replaced. If you have an external clone, you can simply boot up from that which will allow you to continue working until you can get your internal drive replaced. As has been mentioned, both have their benefits and using both to compliment each other is your best option. Since TimeMachine is part of OS X and both SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner are free for full clones (actually, CCC is completely free for all functionality now), there's really no reason not to use both.

I'll stick with Super Duper

I installed 10.5 on a 80 gig drive. I partitioned a 250 drive to 177 and 56 gigs. The 80 gig drive where 10.5 resides has only 49.2 gigs of information. When I try Time Machine to backup on the 56 gig partition, it says I need 29+ more gigs free space. Say what? Seems Time Machine is backing up free space also.
Seems rather lame. I'll stick with my trusted Super Duper. It's bailed me out a couple of times.

I use both! Prior to Leopard, I was using SD to backup to an external. I also have a Lacie rugged (portable) drive that I keep at my office -- once a week, I bring it home and back it up with SD. The reason? Just in case something happened at home ... theft, fire etc. I have the peace of mind knowing that in a worst case scenario, I lose a week of data.
Then, Leopard came out. So....I picked up a 500 GB My Book drive for $105 (sale and coupon at Staples), formatted it and started TM. TM is quite amazing. With a small investment in another drive, I am covered. Overboard? Nah...most are "underboard" when it comes to backing up; I'm covered.
My suggestion: use both -- you can never "over backup"!!

Slow Cloning with Super Duper

I'm trying to clone my hard drive to an external firewire hard disk (G-Drive Q 500GB) using Super Duper and the download seems to go along nicely until about 80% of the files are evaluated and copied. Then, the process just stops after about 1.5 hrs. with the elapsed time counter clicking away. Does this indicate some problem with my hard drive or am I doing something wrong in setting up the cloning procedure?
I need to get this clone before I convert to OS 10.5.
Thanks

It could be a problem with a certain file that may be corrupted or extremely large on your drive, especially if the clone fails in the same place, multiple times.
With SuperDuper! running you can do a Command +L to view the log. It may have some information that might help you find where the process is going wrong.

My facebook app seems to be frozen and i can't get it to work. What can i do to fix this or remove the app and reinstall it?

My facebook app seems to be frozen and i cant get it to do anything. what can i do to fix this problem or uninstall the app and then reinstall it?

Try closing the Facebook app completely and see if it works ok when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Facebook app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Facebook app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How do I restore a new Hard drive from Super Duper clone ?

The Hard Drive in my 2010 iMac died and was replaced with a new one. Thankfully I have a clone made with Super Duper of the old drive. Do I just clone back on to the new internal drive ? The new drive, installed by Apple has OS10.6.8 installed on it now (by Apple ), which is the OS on the clone. Do I need to completely wipe the drive before restoring with my clone ? All that's on the new drive is the OS. Don't want to make any mistakes here.....

1. Boot from your install DVD or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
6. Once thats done then you can do a clean Install, restore from TM or the Bootable Clone.

My iPad screen seems to have frozen

My iPad screen seems to have frozen and I cannot even power off any suggestions?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Super Duper help on unresponsive Macbook

Hello, I've already posted before and nobody has responded. Let me ask one of the questions I could really use answered and hopefully people can help. So I am having a major HD issue and disk utility (booting from the install disk, can't even get past grey screen with apple logo and spinning wheel) says I have a verify or repair failure: Invalid Node structure. I have tried PRAM/NVRAM reset, Verbose, and safe mode, to no avail. I just would like to know if this Super Duper HD copying program will allow me to make a copy of my HD and save the info, then I'll just whip the disk and start new. I am having a hard time understanding how it can work unless your computer is working itself, which mine is not. How can I download the program if I can't even use my computer? How can I load it up on my computer if it does't even work? All I want to do is get a copy of my HD's contents or even specific files onto my backup drive, but I can't figure it out. I've already tried Restore on Disk Utility from the install disk, but has varying levels of not working. Sometimes my Macintosh HD is greyed out and won't even let me add it to the boxes on the right to make a copy, other times it does, but then won't let me add the destination drive (my backup drive). This whole thing is just killing me. I just got a backup drive for a christmas present and was going to backup everything, but then my Macbook went on the fritz. All I want to do is make a backup of my HD anyway I can. After that, I don't care, but I need my stuff. Any help would be appreciated in advance, thank you.

I have read these posts and have a comment. If your computer is running slower than it used to and you are running the same apps as you used to and your hard drive is NOT over 90% full then the problem is NOT being caused by having too little RAM. The RAM does not shrink. If all things are the same but it is now running slower then there is some other reason than lack of RAM. RAM is expensive enough that it is a real shame to buy more if it has nothing to do with the underlying performance problem.
Clean caches with Onyx. Do all the other maintenance with Onyx. Run PreferentialTreatment. Reset PRAM. Boot from your external hard drive that you have cloned a copy of your main drive onto. You do have a clone of the main drive don't you?
A cloned copy of your hard drive is invaluable for trouble shooting and the day may very likely come that you will be extremely grateful that you spent the dollars for one. It is so easy to clone your hard drive and then to clone the external back to the internal if need be. Everything will be just how you left it. Far simpler and more effective than making a copy of your User folder and then reinstalling the OS from the DVD. The later can take many hours and much work to get things the way you had them. Cloning is virtually effortless.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
importing from where?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Make sure that all of your music is in iTunes. Once you have made sure that all of the music that is on your phone is on the computer that you sync with, go to Settings>General>Usage, slide your finger from left to right across the music portion, delete the library, restart the phone, then sync the library back to your phone via iTunes.
