Backup loads from (source) iMac, but not MacBook Pro
Hi. I just bought a new 500GB G-Drive FW400/USB2 drive last night at the Leopard launch. I did a full backup of my 10month old 250G iMac 20" to the drive. Then I hooked it up to my 15" MacBook Pro (July) via FW and it wouldn't boot -- gives me the multilingual "You need to restart" graphic.
But it *does* boot on the iMac. Thinking maybe a small glitch, I ran a full Smart Copy just to verify but I still get the black screen on the laptop. Is there anything I'm missing? (The new drive is partitioned with APM into a large single "Mac OS Extended journaled" partition.) Can I not go from desktop->laptop? I'm hoping to give my parents the iMac and live on the lappy for awhile. Edit: Both machines run OS X v10.4.10, all updates, and my SD is 2.1.4 (registered). |
The MacBook Pro runs a newer version of 10.4.10, and it's changed to support the new hardware. You can't copy an older build of 10.4.10 to it.

Wow, quick reply, thanks.
So you're saying that the iMac .10 differs from the MBP .10? I guess I thought the hardware was a little more abstracted than that. So basically I have no option for option-booting this clone other than another iMac? |
That's right: it differs (the builds are different). When 10.4.11 comes out, the OSes will be synced up...
