Tiger only hintTiger seems to have broken Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) 2.3 because of some authentication issue. The immediate fix was to run it is root, but that brings its own dangers. I combined the method suggested by two forum threads at the Bombich.com forums in order to fix a problem some people had with the text:

  1. In the Finder, open the window of the folder where you keep CCC.
  2. Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities).
  3. Type bash --noprofile and press Return.
  4. Type sudo open, and then press the Space Bar.
  5. Drag CCC into the Terminal window from the Finder -- that will complete the line with the full path.
  6. Hit Return and, at the prompt, enter your admin password -- your typing will not show. Hit Return after typing your password.
I hope this helps.
