Hi, maybe someone here can help me out. Let me first explain the situation.
A couple weeks ago, my hard drive failed. Thankfully, I had everything still intact via Carbon Copy Cloner with a bootable backup on my external hard drive. CCC created this backup through a file-level transfer (as opposed to a block-level transfer), and now that the time has finally come to use this backup for survival, I have an issue.
While yes, the hard drive is working and the OS is booting perfectly, any application I open will crash. This is everything from the Applications folder to Utilities... it doesn't matter where it's located, it won't open. I tried installing a couple applications from their disk images to see if I could get around it, and while they would go through Installer, I couldn't open after they'd be put on the hard drive.
Whenever I attempt to open a program, it briefly opens, and then crashes, leaving the usual crash report dialog. The more detailed analysis states the following (as in the case of Safari):
The report then goes into a long series of Threads...
So does anyone have any suggestions for me to make this bootable copy actually useable?
Thanks.
