Recently, I cloned my hard disk using SuperDuper!. After a successful cloning, I could boot the cloned drive but was unable to open any of my applications. Each time I tried to open an application, it crashes instantly; even the Terminal. So I did a bit of googling and found that Leopard and SuperDuper sometimes has some prebinding issues after cloning. So, to solve it, boot into your original drive, launch Terminal and enter the following command:
>sudo update_prebinding -root /Volumes/NameOfDrive -force
Once that’s done, reboot your Mac with your cloned drive and everything should be up and running!
tip: If you’re using an Intel Mac, you can boot your Mac with an External HDD (USB or Firewire) by pressing the Option key when you first turn on your Mac.
