[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1724817, member: 204485"] I understand now. Obviously t would be good if you could finish the CCC clone before doing anything else. Personally I would have tried to verify and or repair before cloning but I already have a backup so that doesn't apply to you. We all advise people to do this [I]before[/I] they have an issue rather than after. Still you can only work with what you have. So if the CCC works then follow Harry's advice above. If not try to save what you can an item at a time by copying to an EHD. I know this is a pain but not that difficult. I had an unrepairable hardware problem with my MBP just one week ago. I did have a clone but Apple gave me a brand new MBP so I thought I would take the opportunity to rid myself of excess baggage and just copy the things I could not replace and re download everything else. Really it is not too time consuming. I downloaded most of my apps from App Store purchases in one hit and most of the rest were just documents and media. So your priorities should be you photo library, music library and documents. If you have your contacts backed up to iCloud or Google or on another device like a phone then everything else is replaceable. [/QUOTE]
