Not much different than DU except it does smart updates, and you can exclude folders. Sorry to sound so thick! I use the Mac as a tool and I'm not well informed on all this computer tech stuff. Not keen on doing a fresh install because of all the various music software - which is why I should clone or backup I suppose. I've never had any problems with them seemimg to be slow or anything. The system hard drive is described in System Profiler as "Intel ESB2 AHCI" under Serial-ATA. I've downloaded the free Carbon Copy Cloner from your link (or is it better to buy a version of this I wonder?).Īlso, is it necessary to partition an external hard drive? I already have a couple and don't particularly want to buy another or lose the data on them. "Master" appears to be user data - I use this Mac Pro mostly for making and recording music with Logic Pro and I have a separate internal hard drive for the music files (which is most of my used data on this Mac), so advice on what to put onto a Boot backup/clone would be much appreciated please. Please forgive my ignorance but how do I chose which and what to clone as a Boot volume and what for the Master - I have read the links you helpfully provided. Although, having said this, the instructiond did only mention newer versions of Windows - 7 and possibly 8.Ĭan anyone tell me please, is there a way of making this work with WIndows XP (as it worked before with the iMac) or do I have to buy Windows 7 to make it work? I have now removed the Windows partition with Bootcamp Assistant.Īs this all worked perfectly with the iMac, Windows XP and same OSX Snow Leopard I don't understand why it wouldn't work on the older Mac Pro. This then came up as a Disc Error and I could only shut down by holding the start button in. I then attempted to install the same Windows XP, which all seemed to be going well (I put it on the Bootcamp partition) until it came to restart the Mac Pro after installation. I have just ungraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (with software update online) and partitioned the main drive with Bootcamp. I have a Mac Pro bought in 2008 (Model identifier: MacPro3,1 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) which shipped with Leopard. I sold the iMac a while ago, having first removed Windows and reformatted the hard drive. This all went ahead smoothly with no problems. Your advice would be appreciated.Previously I had used Bootcamp in a 27" iMac to install Windows XP Home for the purpose of installing Empire Total War and playing it. I am ready to back up the current ML installation to a 1TB external drive with Time Machine, reformat the MacBook HD and reinstall Snow Leopard in the absence of an alternative solution. I hope this makes the problem a little clearer. I've seen no reference as to them being incompatible with ML. Both games ran under Snow Leopard.Īre the games genuinely not compatible with Mountain Lion or is it just that you haven't had them working under ML? They are Mac games which would run on Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OSX but not Mountain Lion.īridge Baron V15 and X-Words Deluxe. Yes, whenever Adobe Flash was required to view the page. I hoped this error would not be repeated under Mountain Lion, but is was. Only when browsing certain Web pages on which 'Additional Info' was available (common on Travel Web Sites). What do you need Flash for? General browsing or games? I heard from others in our Mac Club that it was not an uncommon problem.Ģ. While this only happened on our MacBook Pro, it didn't happen on my iMac and Snow Leopard. If you returned to view the page again, you would have to download Adobe again and get the same result. When trying to run Adobe Flash in Snow Leopard, as this was required by numerous Travel web sites, it would only download and install and view the appropriate page once. Thank you for the prompt reply, mrplow, and sorry for the confusion.ġ.
