![]() I use the latest version of SuperDuper to make a clone. The clone is located in a Mercury enclosure on a Hitachi DeskStar 2 TB drive. After upgrading from Yosemite to El Capitan, the clone will not boot (although this may be coincidental). I contacted Dave Nanian at Shirt Pocket (the developer of SuperDuper) and he has not seen this issue with El Capitan. He had me try the following (all unsuccessful):ġ. The clone did boot, once, after running Repair Disk via Disk Utility but I think that that was coincidence.Įrase the clone and re-clone from scratch. Disk Warrior reports minor issues (incorrect root correction date and repair of a custom flag for ScamZapper) but I have not run DW on the clone after re-doing the clone. I have the enclosure connected via Thunderbolt. ![]() I tried reconnecting via USB 3 but that was unsuccessful.Īt this point, I think that the problem may lie with either the enclosure or the hard drive. I feel that the hard drive is unlikely as the source of the issue because it is checked daily by Check Mate, with no problems found (file structure test, SMART, surface scan). Is there any way to test the enclosure?ĪDDENDUM: When attempting to boot fro the clone, the progress bar goes about half way, stops, and the computer spontaneously shuts down. I am an earlier OS (10.8.5), but my Super Duper backup is also on a Hitachi drive in an OWC Mercury enclosure (320GB HGST Travelstar Z7K320 2.5-inch 7mm SATA), although I am connected by Firewire 800. Your post got me to check how my Super Duper clone is working (SD 2.8 (v96)). Things did not go as I would have expected. I shutdown and rebooted holding down the Option key. Instead of seeing my main drive icon and the SD clone icon, I had the main drive icon with another drive icon called 10.8.5 Recovery. This opened with a dialogue box offering four choices:Īmong the items on the menu bar was "Startup Disk". It offered either my main drive or the Super Duper clone. Now I'll rate it because it failed on the first rogue script I encountered.This then gave me four startup disk icons: I then shutdown and rebooted with the Option key. ![]() Well, it successfully killed the popup, but it also killed my browsing session. I downloaded this app primarily because one site always opens up a new tab containing a "virus alert" script that freezes Safari. When I open this site () and click in the gray search box on the right for the first time, it happens. When it happened yesterday, I opened ScamZapper and it closed that tab alright.also closed every other window and tab in Safari, leaving me with just one open tab where there had been over 50 in two windows.įortunately for me I have the Sessions extension installed and was able to quickly reopen my session. Of course it also opened the bad tab which I could have easily closed before it loaded, but I decided to see if ScamZapper would stop it this time. ScamZapper again closed both windows, leaving me with one open tab. ScamZapper didn't do any better than I could have done by force-quitting Safari. When I right click to Open it, it says I need click to to install the extension in the Safari Extensions folder, which I do. Even though it's free, I think I'VE been scammed.īefore downloading I read all the posts below and about not being able to quit the running app/script.Īfter installing and opening I was presented with a box saying "ScamZapper has determined that its Safari extension has not been installed. ScamZapper, Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5) I downloaded Scamzapper and I think I have installed it, at least the icon appears in my Dock, although the icon is bouncing. Install extensions only from sources you trust.Ĭlick OK to install it."Īfter clicking OK another box appeared asking "Are you sure you want to install the extension "ScamZapper"? If you are opening it for the first time, this is normal.
