Jim,
I've been busy doing similar things lately, also using SuperDuper. David Nanian (the guy who wrote SuperDuper) and I traded a number of emails on this subject. He suggests in his Help that it is wise to logout, then log back in while holding down the Shift Key. This prevents startup items from loading. David told me that "most" programs don't create any problem for SuperDuper, but there are a few that can cause your cloned backup to be a little bit different. That is what triggered my email to David in the first place...I noticed that my settings were different when booting from a freshly cloned drive. Apparently, that is why.
So, every evening before I go to bed, I logout, then log back in while holding the Shift Key. I have SuperDuper backups scheduled for 4 different backups every night at about 1:00AM. I check frequently to be sure the backups are working properly and they are. BTW, SuperDuper ignores certain temp and var files, which is part of their smart backup script, and that is as it should be.
When I get up in the morning, I logout and log back in again, but since I am ready to work, I let it start normally (without holding down the Shift Key).
I don't use Time Machine at all and have it turned off completely. I haven't had the courage to set up iCloud yet. So many things Apple are lacking in explanation and transparency, and I hate it when things happen without my knowing what is doing what to whom. With SuperDuper, I know what's happening, which I like.
I am backing up to both an internal drive in my Mac Pro, plus an external FW800 box with two backup drives. When I boot off a clone, it boots fresh, just like starting up your Mac when it's been off.
Hope that is some help.

Well, I think you've provided me with a way to make certain that my clones are created in a manner that prevents things from loading that might confuse the organization that's ordinarily accessible to my boot drive from other devices (such as my Time Machine backups, my IMAP email databases, and my iCloud calendar/contacts data. However, I'm still in the dark about what happens if I don't log out and log back in without Startup items loading before the clone operation runs.

Off topic, Lou, but I just want to encourage you to stay away from Time Machine. As a Lightroom user, I'm quite sure you won't be satisfied with it, since the LR catalog becomes such a hassle. It's such a large file and changes so often that you end up either having to put up with Time Machine running constantly or tell it to ignore the LR catalog, which means you need an alternative backup plan for that anyway.
Just FWIW…

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and used time machine to move files and apps from the old Mac Book to the new one. I can't send mail from Safari, using "File>Mail link to this page" and I was able to do it on the old computer. I had Google Chrome on the MacBook Pro (as well as the old Mac Book), and when I would use the "File>mail link to this page", my google mail would come up in Google Chrome. I wanted it to launch the mail program as it always did in the past. I removed Google Chrome and now if I want to send an email from Safari, I get the following error message:
An email message can't be created to send the link because Safari can't find an email application. You can use the mail app included with Mac OS X to send email. To do so, you might need to install mail using the Mac OS X install discs.
I don't have any Mac install discs with this new laptop. I'm stuck here as I don't want to have Google Chrome gmail to launch when I want to send an email with a link from Safari.
Thanks.

Do you have Mail activated? It or any preferred Email client is
"done" by the preferences in Mail. For example, I use Eudora, so my
preferences in Mail say that Eudora is my preferred Email client. Go
to Mail's preferences and choose your preferred client. Similarly,
your default browser, regardless of the one you like, is declared in
Safari's preferences.

Hello.
I am currently looking at getting the 11" Mac Book Air but then upon reading the specifications I noticed it does not have an SD Card slot. What are my options for loading photos if I did buy this version?
Thanks.

1. You connect the camera via USB. I think all digital cameras come with
this ability, and usually with the cable too.
2. You buy a USB card reader, and put the camera's card in it. These are
inexpensive, fast, and also cater for multiple card types.
3. You buy an "Eye-Fi" SD card with built-in Wi-Fi. Expensive IMO but the
ultimate in convenience.
Many digital camera users have managed without an SD card slot in their
computers for many years. :)

Does your camera come with a USB connecting cable? If so you can use
it, but better to use a USB card reader. Early June I got one on eBay
for $4.48 brand new with free shipping.

The Eye-FI SD card sounds pretty cool. I haven't heard of that before.
Thanks for your suggestions (and everyone else).
Is there any particular brand I should look for in a USB card reader?

Usually, I find you can pick up a brand name one for only a few dollars more than a cheap no-name, even here in OZ.
And almost always you can be sure they will work correctly not only with your Air but anything else you decide to plug it into!

Believe it or not, I finally upgraded my hardware and went from a G5 Mac running 10.5.8 to to an iMac running 10.7.4. After en extended period of time migrating stuff, updating apps where appropriate, rearranging backup HDs and the Time Machine drive, and other housekeeping stuff, things are settling down, with only two remaining issues:
1. All my mail came over from the old machine, but none of the incoming mail is anywhere other than my Inbox. I have a lot of mail in the system, and it was all organized in sub-mailboxes (Photography, Genealogy, Research, Travel, etc.) A call to Apple got me only the suggestion that I would have to recreate the sub-mailboxes and manually move the appropriate mail to them. Not practical to do that with several thousand emails now ordered by date.
2. My calendars on iCloud are now synched, but the app 'iCal' is filled with "new events" and a scattering of mis-located (by date, that is) actual events. Isn't iCal supposed to pick up the calendars from iCloud?
Solutions/suggestions would be appreciated. I think I'm going to enjoy having traveled to this new era!

I guess that's all I had to do: send out a request for help and then I could solve one of my problems myself! The mail problem was solved by noticing that 'On My Mac' in the Mailbox section on the left hadn't been expanded. Mousing over the area just to the right of those words popped up the word 'Show,' and clicking on that brought up all the populated boxes. I'll sleep better tonight.
