Boot Errors After Cloning My Hard Disk

Environment: Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) 15"; El Capitan OS X 10.11.2 8 Gb RAM, 500 Gb SSD


Recently replaced my Toshiba drive with a Cruicial BX100 500 Gb SSD. Cloned the old drive to the new drive using Super Duper utility software. Transfer to and from went smoothly but understandably slow via USB connections. After test, the new drive boots up but once it is on the home screen, I get a Text Editor popup with the following error message:


bplist00— ]_LOCALIZABLE_— _ localizedStyleNameWOrigami 1 9


I close the text editor and proceed without incident. I have not found any functional issue anywhere to date. I would like to get rid of the error message coming up all the time.


My efforts to date have consisted of hiding the LocalizedDescription plist in startup. No change. I have read many articles that seem to point at one of the many plists having an incorrect entry. I have poked around looking at the lists and it appears (to my untrained eye) that this is in the Com.Apple.storeagent.plist file. When it is opened in a text editor, all you see is "bplist00" (without the quote marks). That is what led me to think I have found the correct file. Others have some other bplist prefix I assume which is a system identifier of some kind.


How can I fix, edit, rebuild or remove this environment property list?


Thank you.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), null

Your best bet is to clone-restore a new (hdd/ssd) using Disk Utility Restore while started up in Recovery Mode instead of using cloneware like SuperDuper. I'm not knocking SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner, I've used CCC for years to clone backups. The problem is that Apple keeps tweaking the game and your cloneware could be out dated.

A second and sometimes more preferred option, is to setup the new drive and install a clean OS X using OS X Recovery Mode, then Migrate your data into the new OS X.
