Hi Pete. Breath into a paper bag and beg forbearance from SWMBO and your 9yo.
:-D
The clone is there as a safety net. If something goes dramatically wrong (and
there is no reason to believe it will) you can copy the clone back onto your
MacBook -- no harm no fowl.
Firstly I would take one
Ok, thanks and I agree with the conservative approach.
I'll do this over today after WCE game- result permitting!!! There might be
blood involved.
Thanks for the guidance.

I'd tend to disagree on this one,.. ;) lol.
If the clone backup is fine (If you've booted off it to test and ensure that it
does work) then I'd use the opportunity to jump to 10.6.x in one go.
If you've got a 10.6 CD (last retail one was 10.6.3) then you could install
that on the laptop as a
Thanks Daniel, the cloning worked fine and I did a successful restart from the
clone and all seems fine.
While the WCE get clobbered I'll think about which approach to go with. Given
its for a 9yo, not sure if there is benefit with 10.6.x over 10.5.x but I can
see merit in your recommendation
Yes I agree with you Daniel!
Why go backwards IF you can go forward...
It will depend on whether the OS X 10.6.1 is computer specific (to the White
MacBook) as Daniel has mentioned below.
Peter, you are then are getting a Clean Install of the system and Migration
this way is also a cleaner.

Hi Pete,
Both alternatives are valid but just a quick word on the subject. If you truly
value your data and want to use the clean install approach then you probably
should make a second clone just to be sure. The clean install approach creates
a single point of failure; the cloned drive.

Oarsome effort from the men's four. Made me proud to be Australian.

Yes it was a great race, we did not expect the Brits to start so fast, It was a
surprise tactic.
Lane 2 was not as protected for Australia, but you can't take anything away

Advice please on what do do about duplicates Updates from the App store.

included in the standard Software Update run after ML
Hi Alan,
When you looked in the Purchases tab of the App Store, OS X Mountain Lion will
quite often show up with a button labelled Download. That is because once you
have run the ML installer it will delete itself and thus the App Store does not
see it in your Applications directory. You can

Hi Alan,
Apps downloaded through the App Store will clean up after themselves so no
further action is required. If you download a free application on a disk image
(.dmg file), the usual procedure is:
1) Mount the disk image, usually by double clicking on it in Finder.
2) Drag the app from the

Both iPhoto and iMovie downloaded (and installed) normally after resuming the

August installation dates (both the Added and Modified fields). So it appears
the new downloads were just abandoned when they found

Ok, just about reached end of the line for options.
What I did was load the OSX disc for System update only to 10.5.4 and then test
to see if Time Machine could mount the volume- no go.
Then my objective was to do a clean instal from the 10.5.4 OSX disc, but as it

My hosting service seems to be temporarily offline so pardon the posting from a

Just for reference sake, here is the process you can try to delete the sparse

one of the other computers.
1) In Finder mount the Time Capsule by clicking on it in the Finder sidebar.
Navigate to the Data directory

Not I get it! (Insert slap on forehead here.) Sorry for not noticing earlier.
It's a convention when writing Terminal commands to show a $ sign at the start.

An addendum on thinking about the matter further and to head of an almost

Sounds like a bit of a mess up.
Yes, Time Capsule does use the MAC Address of the computer not the computer
