Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Now, the big clue that hit me was that the problem Clone had an alias to the real iClock folder on the internal drive.

So, I deleted the alias on the SuperDuper-generated Clone and installed another complete iClock folder on to the Clone and problem disappears. I'm guessing the reason = the invisible

.com.ScriptSoftware.iClock.plist

which has the version # is NOT on the Clone, but on the internal drive where the iClock app folder resides. Remember that the Clone has an alias to the Users Folder on the internal drive.

Maybe?, programmatically iClock checks for the version number before you install iClock on the menubar, so naturally you look at the startup drive and NOT where the real iClock folder resides

It's wierd that the Preferences are properly picked up, but not the version number?????

You have a SuperDuper clone of your internal drive that is not a clone because you modified the cloned files? Yes - that is weird. It is also no surprise that it does not function the same as your internal drive. I thought a SuperDuper clone was supposed to be an exact copy for backup purposes. It works perfectly that way for me. iClock does not get confused when I startup from my external cloned drive.

My SuperDuper Clone is "Shared Users and Apps". Therefore, SuperDuper installs an alias (external Clone) to the iClock Folder (internal original).

iClock gets confused with the alias.
