Just to let you know that all is well and running growlingly smoothly in the house of dawghausfrau. The 5 am run went perfectly. Thank you again!

my 3 pm SuperDuper! run went fine, received the growl email. so, if all goes well the 5 am run should perform the same way. i may do some manual backups if i need to today but otherwise i don't think i will run anymore tests and instead will see what tomorrow brings. i do think it has to do with a s...

Did the SuperDuper! run. It went fine, received Growl confirmation email, etc. Reset the SuperDuper! settings for another autorun at 3pm, simulating the conditions of my daily 5am run. Will report back after that. Also did a MailMe preview test and it went perfectly well.

Well, bad news today. No email and no record of run by SuperDuper! - it doesn't show up in the log.

I am going to do another trial run now. This time it may have to do with the SuperDuper! settings themselves. Just when I thought everything was working swell!

1) Yes

2) Yes, and how it got there I have no idea.

It wasn't my fault!

And who knows if the logging out and in again didn't fix *something*.

Thank you again for all your help.

And, in the erstwhile I have transmogrified into a Muffin!

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED! Subject: SuperDuper! Copy Succeeded Copy of Macintosh HD to Backup was successful. -- This message was automatically generated by MailMe, a Growl plug-in, -- -- in response to a Growl notification -- -- http://growl.info/ -- HOORAY! Thank you both. Now that didn't take too long...

well, i'll be damned. ok, one more superduper run coming up, with a side of fries. be back in a few.

and from the stupid questions department (as if my other queries came from some other place) must growl be running for the email to be sent? i had turned it off before i did the superduper backup....

well, i just ran superduper, sat here in case there was a keychain prompt from growl (there wasn't), and at the very end, guess what? NO EMAIL SENT!

now what?

Logging out/in also got rid of that pesky white icon both from the desktop and from within the harddrive as an ejectable disk. I don't like it when programs show up in that list. And I don't think it is supposed to because Growl is running just fine now, from all I can see.

Well, guess what? Not only did logging out and coming back in restore the Recipient box to the display option for MailMe but when I checked my email I had about half a dozen emails generated by clicking the preview button in the box even tho it displayed no address! so, now the thing to do would be ...

i've never done that before. well, i guess there is a first for everything. i will quit all programs, log out and then back in and see what's up.

i think i already restarted but should i do it again? maybe it would clear things up....

10.4.8

i see there is something called growl notify in the extras folder. do i need to put that somewhere?

so odd that the growl copy i had before had a place for my email address and this new download does not.

you slipped in there, bgannin.

ok, i managed to trash the old version. i hope that wasn't a stupid thing to do. and now the white thing and the dmg are living inside the applications folder.

however still no display preferences for mailme and also not for "speech" but you do get a voice sample upon clicking preview....

also, i still have my old growl volume disk thing and the disk image in my application folder and then the exact same thing on my desktop.

the good news is that the preference pane is where it should be and it IS in the stand alone library folder, not where it was before, the library folder within the OSX system folder.

hey, can you tell yet that i am not a software programmer?

i got the white volume back. i simply double clicked on the disk image. still no display preferences. it also says that for other things which worked before, like "speech."

Mr Tick, I am caught on step #13. When I go into Display Options and click on the MailMe Display the window says No Display Preferences. Also, on the desktop now I have two things. Growl-0.7.4.dmg which is the disk image and a white disky looking thing that says Growl, is a 9.4 mb volume and is repe...
