MacBook Air / iMac image problem reboot different wallpaper and screensaver!!??
Hi!
I´m using SuperDuper! for the first time. I made a full backup with SuperDuper! (6 times) from my iMac 3.06 GHz 4GB Mac Os X 10.5.6 on my new 500GB Western Digital external HD. USB 2.0 I tried to reboot my MacBook Air 1gen 1.6 GHz 2GB with the finished bootable image from my iMac and I noticed that there was after I succesfully rebooted from my 500GB WD HD I had a different wallpaper and screensaver on my MacBook Air!!?? I tried also to reboot the image from my WD-HD (iMac Backup) on 2 MacBook Pros, 1 Axitron MoodBook, and another MacBook Air. I just had the different background and screensaver on both MacBook Airs. Did I lose files with SuperDuper! ? How safe is SuperDuper? Please help! THX Mani |

The wallpaper and screen saver are "Host Specific" settings in OSX, and since you changed Macs, they're going to be different first time up.

Hi!
What do you mean by ""Host Specific" ? I start from the CLONE Harddrive on several Computers - everything is like on the genuine computer on every other mac. Only my Macbook air starts up and has a different background and screensaver. I even tried second macbook air same different background and screensaver. Just curious WHY?? THX Mani |

Because it's got a different MAC address, so the preferences are host specific. They're stored by machine, basically.

THX for your fast reply!
That cannot be true - my macbook pro has also a different mac address and shows the background photo from the genuine harddrive. The program does just not work perfect on the macbook air. |

This is true in my experience. I don't know why you're seeing different behavior, but perhaps because the MBAir has a different display resolution it's acting a bit differently. But SD! works just fine on the MBAir - I test with one here.
If it works with other Macs, the drive is copied properly...
