I prefer CCC, as it's free and I've heard it works better and is sometimes more relyable than super duper.

Re: HELP!!! My Mac won't turn on!
another idea: put the install dvd in the optical drive, then hold down the C key during bootup. this will force a boot into the install dvd. wait for the optical drive to spin down (about 2 minutes then hit command-F5 and voiceover will start. after this, go to the utilities menu item, start disk utility, highlight the HD and go into the first aid screen. choose verify disk and let it check the drive. if something shows up in the pain (table) above that, then hit repair disk. at this point, you might make you already have a backup of the disk. this way, if anything is seriously wrong with the disk, you will have a recent copy to work from while you order a replacement HD. I have had to do this more than a few times since OS X tiger. -Eric On Jun 19, 2011, at 4:35 PM, Esther wrote: Hi, Ezzie, here's yet another suggestion: it's possible that you have a bad sector on your hard drive that prevents your Mac from completing the boot up.

Hello Guys, I just want to thank all of you for your suggestions. I've decided to use CCC. These are both really good apps and it was a really close thing in terms of deciding which to use. After playing around with both apps, I really like the UI that CCC uses. Now I'm really looking forward to Lion.

Re: HELP!!! My Mac won't turn on!
Hi Dan, I suspect that most users will be more comfortable using SuperDuper! The differences are less the VO interface than the working style and frequency/level of reporting activities differences between the two software applications. The straight cloning feature can be used for free in the trial download of SuperDuper!, and I've heard its developer is very responsive to requests and questions. Carbon Copy Cloner has been around since well before SuperDuper! existed, and is in some ways a classic, and maintained as a labor of love. (The developer of CCC, Mike Bombich, later got hired by Apple). CCC is often chosen by people who come in from a linux or unix background, and/or are programmers. But it uses a terser dialog style. One feature of CCC that I've found easier to use is if you want to exclude certain files from a cloned backup, as when I have large data files that are separately backed up. SuperDuper! is supposed to have scripts that will let you do that, but I've never found the descriptions straight forward. For the general VoiceOver user, I suspect that SuperDuper! will be a more comfortable choice.

Has VoiceOver gotten turned off by mistake? Try turning the Mac on, wait for a minute or 2 for the system to fully boot, then try turning VO back on with command F5. Has the system volume gotten turned down or muted somehow? Try pressing f10 or if you have the function keys set to perform software functions, press fn+f10 to see if the system is muted. You should hear the volume sound when the system is unmuted. Is system volume turned down? F11 turns volume down and F12 turns it up. Just some things to check.

Re: HELP!!! My Mac won't turn on!
I think you may have to give someone a call at Apple Support to see what they have to say.

Has VoiceOver gotten turned off by mistake? Try turning the Mac on, wait for a minute or 2 for the system to fully boot, then try turning VO back on with command F5. Has the system volume gotten turned down or muted somehow? Try pressing f10 or if you have the function keys set to perform software functions, press fn+f10 to see if the system is muted. You should hear the volume sound when the system is unmuted. Is system volume turned down? F11 turns volume down and F12 turns it up. Just some things to check.
