Intel Crashes and Icon Woes

[dnanian]

Hello, Kudos.

If you'd like to re-apply the icon by hand, do a Get Info on the other drive. Click the icon with the mouse (it'll highlight) and press Cmd+c. Then, do a Get Info on the drive whose icon you'd like to change, click the icon and press Cmd+v.

As far as the machine hanging goes: we cannot hang your Mac -- we don't run at a low level. What likely happened was a drive failure, either on the source or destination drive. What model of LaCie were you using, and was anything else on FireWire with the drive?

Your particular issue is not Intel-specific. SuperDuper! does work beautifully with Intel Macs. There is a bug in 10.4.8 that affects SuperDuper! and other applications in some situations. Not all users are affected, and -- as is the case with any bug in OSX, we need to wait until Apple fixes the problem.

After all, there's a reason that OSX gets updated with "point releases" -- it has bugs, which get fixed when Apple decides they should be fixed. All we can do at our end is report the bug to Apple and try to work around the problem.

I realize that this is frustrating, but alas there's little we can do apart from that.
