Sensitivity of BO

Hi,
In one of a migrated report from BO 6.5 to BO XI R3.1, a particular cell is having a value like "0.0000000000001234" in XI R3.1 and in 6.5 the same value is "0.00000000000000654".
In the complete report only this the only value which is having value after 12 decimal places. All the data is matching expect this.
I'm having a doubt that being so small value, Business object tool is not able to detect it and giving a garbage value (Just my opinion).
Kinldy guide me whether I'm correct. If not what are the other things that I can check for?
Need your valuable suggestions.
Thanks
Jim

Hi,
Request you to kindly share some thoughts or please share some links where I can look for the solution.
Regards
Jim

  • In ALV Report Filter selection should be case sensitive

    Dear All,
    since one field is case sensitive in database table , i have to fetch that in alv report , but when i am applying  filter on that field its is simply fetching data with case description.  if its in caps it should fetch caps data but in   smaal case report showing no data
    Regards,

    Hi,
    All text datas are case sensitive.
    To make it work perfectly You have to Use the Keyword translate to Upper Case than display
    Now filter can work.
    Without Transalation to Upper Case filter will not work.

  • Creation of context sensitive help with pure FM 12 usage doesn't work

    Hi,
    I hope somebody is able to help me with a good hint or tip.
    I am trying to create a context-sensitive Microsoft Help with FM12 only using the abilities of FM (no RoboHelp). For some reasons, my assigned ID's are not used in the generated chm file and therefore the help does not work context-sensitively.
    What did I do?
    - I created my FM files and assigned topic aliases to the headers. I did this two ways: a) using the "Special" menue and assigning a CSH marker and/or b) setting a new marker of type "Topic Alias" and typing the ID. I used only numeric IDs like "2000" or "4200",
    - I created a .h file (projectname.h) - based on the format of the file projectname_!Generated!.h (I read this in some instructions). So the .h file (text file) looks like this:
    #define 2000 2000 /* 4 Anwendungsoberfläche */
    #define 2022 2022 /* 4.1.1 Menü Datei */
    #define 2030 2030 /* 4.1.3 Menü Parametersatz */
    #define 2180 2180 /* 6.6.7 Objektdialog Q-Regler */
    #define 2354 2354 /* 6.9.2 Objektdialog Extran Parameter */
    #define 2560 2560 /* 6.9.5 Objektdialog Extran2D Parametersatz */
    - I published the Microsoft HTML Help. A projectname_!Generated!.h has been created. My IDs were not used in this file:
    #define 2000    1
    #define 2022    2
    #define 2030    3
    #define 2180    4
    #define 2354    5
    #define 2560    6
    - When I open the .chm file and look in the source code, the ID even is totally different. It is not the one, I assigned in FM, it is not the one which I assigned in the projectname.h file and it even is not the one, which was put in the projectname_!Generated!.h file. It is a generated name starting with CSH_1 ...n in a consecutive way numbered.
    Example:
    <p class="FM_Heading1"><a name="XREF_72066_13_Glossar"></a>Gloss<a name="CSH_1"></a>ar</p>
    What goes wrong? Why does FM not take my assigned IDs? I need to use these IDs since our programmers are using those already - I had to re-create the whole online help but the programs stay untouched.
    Please help!
    Many thanks
    Mohi

    Hi Jeff,
    thanks for your note!
    The text in my marker is just a number like "2000" or "4200". As said, I created manually a my.h file and used this marker there. E.g.
    #define 2000 2000.
    Whereby the first 2000 (in my opinion) is the marker text and the second 2000 is the context ID which the programmers are using for the context sensitive call of the help. My definitions in the my.h file were translated to #define 2000 1 (in the my_!Generated!.h file). The source code "translates" the context ID into CSH_8.
    I am still confused :-/
    Thanks

  • How do I install PSE8 on MAC with case sensitive drive?

    I tried to install PSE8 for mac and i get an error saying it cannot be installed on a case sensitive drive.
    Is there a fix for this?

    What is the purpose of this?
    I have my drive formatted case sensitive on purpose for more security and stability.
    Why on earth would y'all choose to do this?

  • Is a Full Text Index search case sensitive or not in SQL Server 2012?

    I setup full text index on my contact table and am attempting to run a search on it using the following query:
    SELECT *
    FROM sysdba.Contact C
    WHERE CONTAINS(C.FirstName, 'Test')
    OR CONTAINS(C.LastName, 'Test')
    The problem is it's clearly running a case sensitive search. I did a quick search to find out how to change it to be case in-sensitive and found two pages (both for SQL Server 2012) with conflicting answers:
    1 - MSDN - "Query with Full-Text Search" - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142583(v=sql.110).aspx
    Case sensitivity
    Full-text search queries are case-insensitive. However, in Japanese, there are multiple phonetic orthographies in which the concept of orthographic normalization is akin to case insensitivity (for example, kana = insensitivity). This type of orthographic normalization
    is not supported.
    1 - TechNet - "Full-Text Search (SQL Server)" - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142571(v=sql.110).aspx
    Full-text queries are
    not case-sensitive. For example, searching for "Aluminum" or "aluminum" returns the same results.
    Can someone please explain this? Is it possible to do it without it being case sensitive? If yes, how?
    (Sorry, I couldn't make those links b/c TechNet hasn't verified my account)
    Thank you for your time and help,

    Whats the collation setting for the columns? try using a case insensitive collation as below
    SELECT *

    OR CONTAINS(C.LastName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, 'Test')

  • SSO for some SAP Apps, but forced login for the sensitive data application

    We have R/3 4.7 (Enterprise), with EP 6.0 and Web AS 6.40.  We have implemented Employee Self Service, as well as CRM, and some BW reports through EP 6.0.  We have a Broadvision Portal that is on top of EP 6.0.  In other words, the employees login to the Broadvision Portal, and authenticate against our Active Directory user store.  Then they will choose the SAP apps listed above, which go through the SAP Portal (EP 6.0)
    We want to allow SSO through EP when users choose either CRM, or BW reports, but we want to force a login when they choose ESS, since this data is more sensitive.  The problem we have had is that when we turn on SSO, it allows the user through for all 3 SAP apps.  My question is: How can we force a login for just ESS, but not for the other 2 apps.
    Thanks.

    Rick,
    I suppose, Eric meant Authentication Schemes ("authschemes") instead of security zones.
    An authentication scheme is essentially a pointer to a JAAS logon stacks on the J2EE Engine plus a frontend ("login screen"). Authentication schemes are assigned numbers ("priorities"), the higher the number the more trustworthy the authentication of the underlying JAAS stack is regarded.
    Example:
    Let's assume you use the default authscheme "uidpwdlogon" for all your iviews. It features a password-based or SAP logon ticket-based logon and is assigned a value of 20. All iviews that have this authscheme set in its "authscheme" property are accessible for you without any further authentication once you have passed this scheme (or any other authscheme with a priority <= 20).
    Now, you set one individual iview to use authscheme "certlogon", which requires an X.509 certificate and is valued "21". When accessing this iview, the portal will force a re-authentication (as 21>20).
    By configuring custom authschemes and JAAS logon stacks you can easily implement your scenario. Simply ensure that all your ESS iviews will be using an authscheme with a value greater that your default value.

  • Portege M800 - Exposed Sensitive Touchkeys does not work

    I am owner of the Toshiba Portege M800-105. Everything does its work. After 2 month working on it, my exposed sensitive touchkeys next to the POWER-Button does not work. After I deinstalled the "Vista-Value-Added-Package" everything is working proper. Why? Now my FN-Keys are not working or are diabled. Why?
    Before deinstallation the package, the first button next to the power-button had the function to turn off the backlight from the Logo, from the senitive touchkeys an from my touchpad. NOW it turn off the sound!!!! Fairy weired if you aks me. How can I fix my buttons up to factory settings and get FN-Buttons working?
    I reinstalled the value added package again, and have the save problem as before: the first two buttons next to the power button does not work!
    Unter the Application: Thoshiba Button Support, for the first two buttons there are no Keynames depositd/marked so that I can change there configuration.
    FN-Keys works after installation the package, though not the sensitive keys! Please, who can help me?
    The Value Added Package has small programs. One of them is the Toshiba Button Support. Whenn I deinstall it everything works. When I install it, nothing works.
    Thank you for Help on [email protected]

    Hello guys
    The whole thing is really strange. I really dont know what happen on your notebooks. The fact is that those buttons are controlled by software. If I am remembering well it called Button support or Button control and it is part of Value Added Package.
    VAP contains several different tools and utilities. When you remove VAP it will be removed the application responsible for FN functionality (Flashcards) and this is the reason why the FN doesnt work anymore.
    So, theoretically everything should be OK when you install VAP again. I repeat theoretically. Why you still have this problem I dont know and I dont believe nobody can say for sure. Maybe some registry entries are corrupted now? Who knows?
    I presume you dont want to use most radical solution and make clean OS installation again but this can definitely help. With clean preinstalled OS (factory settings) everything will work well again.
    At the end I must say that I use Satellite U400 (similar to your Portege) almost 6 months now and all buttons work properly. I still use preinstalled Vista version and I didnt made any changes. It works well.

    I am unable to reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I do have the serial number) on my Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (Mavericks os). and am getting the message "Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported.  Please choose a different volume for installation."  I am further told that "Adobe apps cannot be installed on case-sensitive drives, you need to Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive."
    What I don't understand is this:  I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine.  Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop.  1) Why did it work before and it's not working now?  2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

    It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

  • Wacom tablet pressure sensitivity, dont work outside canvas

    Hi.
    I wonder, if i'm the only one, who are having problems to start a stroke outside the canvas and follow it on the canvas, without the pressure sensitivity is all on max.
    seems the same is happing, if you have marked an area and start at stroke outside that area. kinda like the brush only start recognize the pressure level when on the canvas or marking.
    does it make sense?
    running windows7 64bit intous3 A4.
    tested in on my my laptop too on the intous3 A5, same problem.

    Hi JJMack
    thx for your comment
    - i'm on photoshop cs5, any brush thats pressure sensitivity, did it with both docked and floating canvas.
    I think i've fixed the issue.
    Apprently its a problem with the newest version of the wacom driver. And somehow it only affects photoshop.
    i've downloaded the march 2010 driver from wacom. And installed that. seems to be fixed.

  • Photoshop CS6 Brush pressure sensitivity not working on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

    I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it.  I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches.  I created a new file and started sketching.  I Immediately felt like something was wrong.  I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available.  Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point. 
    Does anybody know if Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing?  I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen.  I hope someone can help me along here, because if this tablet can truely run photoshop, it would be a Game Changer.

    Just curious.... has any of you tried the shape dynamics in photoshop and turning on pen pressure?
    and in illustrator to modify the size to pressure and variation to maximum? (and of course select that brush preset that you just modified and draw with it using SHIFT+B for blob brush or B for regular brush)
    I am also interested in purchasing a Surface pro so please report if this helps.
    what I recently discovered in other forums is that Sketchbook Pro works flawlessly in desktop mode. Sketchbook Express in the APP mode doesn't support pressure yet.
    there is no official confirmation that the surface pro uses a wacom digitizer, however a few artist friends of mine have gone to the microsoft store... brought their own wacom pens (cintiq 15x pen - older models that works with general tabletpcs) and the pro recognized it. which means that it is a wacom digitizer. it wouldn't make sense if a wacom pen works with a different digitizer board like N-trig.
    also read in another forum about adobe using wintab and windows 8 wintab drivers are not there yet.
    anyway... I'd be glad to know if this works or not
    thanks!

  • HP Envy M7-J020DX (17inch Touchsmart​) touchpad is too sensitive

      I prefer to use the touchpad when sitting with the pc.  This is a new one, purchased yesterday.  It is handy to be able to tap the touchpad to select what the arrow is on....even more so with this new pc.  With only "clicking" selected in properties, the pressure needed to complete the action is considerably more than older or other pc's which have seperate single left and right buttons, so it become a pain if you do a lot of this ( I do!) so tapping to select would be preferred.
       With tapping enabled, the  very slightest pressure will select what is under the arrow.  I mean VERY slightest....like when the first molecules of skin on the tapping finger breathes on the touchpad, it activates it.
       I have followed all the troubleshooting procedures I can find in an attempt to find a way to regulate this.  It, as far as I can see, is just not available.  For instance, bringing up the properties of the clickpad or touch pad shows the following:
        MULTIFINGER GESTURES and six subcategories relating to gestures (all unclicked)
        SCROLLING (checked)
        POINTING
       SMARTSENSE  Even tho this pertains to palm pressure, I have experimented with the slider to the max
       TAPPING      this is what I would like to have control over.  When unchecked I have to manually PRESS left                         or right "buttons", a little too forcefully for my liking.
        CLICKING  checked
       ENABLE SWIPE EDGES checked (have tried both ways)
       OVERVIEW  no function
      As you can see there is no SENSITIVITY setting.  In some of the troubleshooting guides I DID SEE a sensitivity control.... along with a slider. I would love to have that.  Hoped it would appear by downloading the latest driver suggested by an HP scan......a 107mb behemoth that, after installed, did not change anything that I could see.
        This is an irritating problem to have with a thousand dollar notebook.  There must be a fix out there.....fix the sensitivity so the unit isn't clicking errantly on links as I scroll over them looking  for something else.
       Thank you for taking the time to read.....

    Hi tallpall. I have found the reference that you were probably referring to regarding the option to change touch sensitivity. See the section "Adjusting TouchPad or ClickPad pointing sensitivities" in this document: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
    If that option is not there, you can restore your original TouchPad drivers using this method: Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8)
    Hopefully that returns the original options to adjust the TouchPad sensitivity.  Let me know if it works.

  • Print dialog options in case sensitive file system

    Since changing the file system running Lion and Mountain Lion from Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), certain features in print dialogs have disappeared.
    Particularly the option to print notes with slides in Microsoft Powerpoint are gone. Also, when choosing to print only 1 (or more, but not all) of multiple pages in Microsoft Word, the printer will nevertheless print all pages.
    This problem occurs on printers of different brands, i.e. HP, Lexmark, Brother.
    I was able to determine this problem by reproducing the issue on a cleanly installed Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8 formatted as Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) vs a cleanly installed Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8 formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), not Case-sensitive.
    Has anyone else had the same problem and maybe a solution?

    I just fixed this on my Mac. It is a bug in Microsoft Office... the Printer Dialog Extension (PDE) for Powerpoint is located in a directory named "Plugins", but PowerPoint is looking for it in "PlugIns". This obviously does not work in a case-sensitive filesystem.
    Here are the steps to fix the issue:

  • How do I get pen pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CS5?

    Hi
    There is no sensitivity to pressure in my Photoshop CS5. I have installed the driver for my tablet (Intuos 4), but it still doesn't work. I have also clicked the icons for both pressure and opacity in the bar at the top, but they made no difference.
    I see a triangle with an exclamation point in the brushes menu by the control options. It says "Control by pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet," so I take this to mean that my tablet isn't supporting sensitivity.
    The tablet works just fine, but the sensitivity won't. What should I do?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I figured it out! Pen Pressure is working just fine now. Here are the steps I used to fix my problem. Thanks for your help, Noel!
    Windows 7/Vista Pro Driver
    -Disconnect the tablet from the computer
    -Open your start menu and then the Control Panel
    -Open programs and features
    -Uninstall any listing here for Tablet or Wacom Tablet and then restart the computer
    -After restarting, download and install only the latest driver (6.16) from wacom website
    -Once the installation is complete, and the system is stable, connect the tablet.

  • How can I backup data from a case-sensitive volume to a NON-case-sensitive volume?

    The case-sensitive volume in this instance being a desktop-mounted disk image volume.
    A tragi-comedy in too many acts and hours
    Dramatis Personae:
    Macintosh HD: 27" iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (iMac10,1), 12 GB RAM, 1 TB SATA internal drive
    TB1: 1 TB USB external drive
    TB2: 2 TB USB to Serial-ATA bridge external drive
    Terabyte: a .dmg disk image and resulting desktop volume of the same name (sorry, I don't know the technical term for a .dmg that's been opened, de-compressed and mounted -- evanescently -- on the desktop)
    Drive Genius 3 v3.1 (3100.39.63)/64-bit
    Apple Disk Utility Version 11.5.2 (298.4)
    Sunday morning (05/08/11), disk utility Drive Genius 3's drive monitoring system, Drive Pulse, reported a single bad block on an external USB2.0 1TB drive, telling me all data would be lost and my head would explode if I didn't fix this immediately. So I figured I'd offload the roughly 300 GB of data from TB1 to TB2 (which was nearly empty), with the intention of reinitializing TB 1 to remap the bad block and then move all its data BACK from TB 2. When I opened TB1's window in the Finder and tried to do a straight "Select All" and drag all items from TB1 to TB2, I got this error message:
    "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
    The error message didn't tell me WHICH volume had "the wrong case sensitivity for a backup," and believe me, or believe me not, this was the first time I'd ever heard that there WAS such a thing as "case sensitivity" for a drive. I tried dragging and dropping some individual folders -- some of them quite large, in the 40GB range -- from TB1 to TB2 without any problem whatsoever, but the majority of the items were the usual few-hundred-MB stuff that seems to proliferate on drives like empty Dunkin' Donuts coffee cups on the floor of my car, and I didn't relish the idea of spending an afternoon dragging and dropping dribs and drabs of 300GB worth of stuff from one drive to another.
    Being essentially a simple-minded soul, I had what I thought was the bright idea that I could get around the problem by making a .dmg disk image file of the whole drive, stashing it on TB2, repairing and re-initializing TB1, and then decompressing the disk image I'd made of TB1, and doing the "drag and drop" of all the files in resulting desktop volume to TB1. So I made the .dmg of TB1, called "Terabyte," stashed that .dmg on TB2 (no error messages this time), re-initialized and then rebooted the iMac from my original Snow Leopard 10.6.1 disks and used Disk Utility to erase and initialize TB1 -- making sure that it was NOT initialized as case-sensitive, and installed a minimal system on TB1 from the same boot. Then I updated that 10.6.1 system to 10.6.7 with System Update, and checked to see that Disk Utility reported all THREE drives -- internal, 1TB, and 2TB -- as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and no "case sensitive" BS. I also used Drive Genius 3's "information" function for more detailed info on all three drives. Except for the usual differing mount points, connection methods, and S.M.A.R.T. status (only the Macintosh HD internal, SATA 1TB drive supports S.M.A.R.T.), everything seemed to be oojah-***-spiff, all three drives showing the same Partition Map Types: GPT (GUID Partition Table.) Smooth sailing from here on out, I thought.
    Bzzzzt! Wrong!
    When I opened the Terabyte .dmg and its desktop volume mounted, I tried the old lazy man's "Select All" and drag all items from the desktop-mounted drive "Terabyte" to TB1, I got the error message:
    "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
    I then spent the next three hours on the phone with AppleCare (kids -- when you buy a Mac ANYTHING, cough up the money for AppleCare. Period.), finally reaching a very pleasant senior tech something-or-other in beautiful, rainy Portland, OR. Together we went through everything I had done, tried a few suggestions she offerred, and, at the end of three hours, BOTH of us were stumped. At least I didn't feel quite as abysmally stupid as I did at the beginning of the process, but that was all the joy I had gotten after two solid days of gnawing at this problem -- and I mean SOLID; I'm retired, and spend probably 12 hours a day, EVERY day, at the keyboard, working on various projects.
    The AppleCare senior tech lady and I parted with mutual expressions of esteem, and I sat here, slowly grinding my teeth.
    Then I tried something I don't know why I was so obtuse as to not have thought of before: I opened Apple's Disk Utility and checked the desktop-mounted volume Terabyte (Mount Point: /Volumes/Terabyte), the resulting volume from opening and uncompressing the .dmg "Terabyte".
    Disk Utility reported: "Format : Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)." Doh!
    Obviously, TB1, the 1 TB USB external drive I'd actually bought as part of a bundle from MacMall when I bought my 27" iMac, and which I had initialized the first day I had the iMac up and running (late November 2009), had somehow gotten initialized as a Case-sensitive drive. How, I don't know, but I suspect the jerk behind the keyboard. Whatever the case, when I created the Terabyte disk image (the drive's original name: when I erased and re-initialized it -- see above -- I renamed it "1TB" for quick identification), the original drive's "Case-sensitive" format was encoded too. So when I tried to drag and drop EVERYTHING from the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" to the newly initialized and "blessed" (now THERE's a term from the past!), the system recognized it as an attempt as a total volume backup, and hit me with "The volume [the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" -- BB] has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup." And, of course, the reinitialized TB1 was now correctly formatted as NOT "case-sensitive."
    Well, that solved the mystery (BTW, Disk Utility identified the unopened Terabyte.dmg as an "Apple UDIF read-only compressed {zlib}, which is why the .dmg file could be copied to ANY volume, case sensitive or not), but it didn't help me with my problem of having to manually move all that data from the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" to TB1. I tried to find a way to correct the problem at the .dmg AND opened-volume-from-.dmg level with every disk utility I had, to no avail.
    Sorry for the long exposition, but others may trip over this "case-sensitive" rock in the road, and I wanted to make the case as clear as possible.
    So my problem remains: other than coal shovel by coal shovel, is there any way to get all the data off this case-sensitive desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" and onto TB1.
    Not that I know whether it would made any difference or not, one of the things that got me into this situation was my inability to get "Time Machine" properly configured so it wasn't making new back-ups every (no lie) 15 minutes.
    Philosophical bonus question: what's the need for this "case-sensitive," "NOT case-sensitive" option for disk initialization?
    As always, thanks for any help.

    "Am I to understand that you have a case-sensitive volume with data that you want to copy to a case-insensitive volume? And the Finder won't let you do it? If that's what the problem is, the reason should be obvious: on the source volume, you may have two files in the same folder whose names differ only in case. When copying that folder to the target volume, it's not clear what the Finder should do."
    Yes, I understand all that... NOW.
    What I had (have) is a USB external 1TB drive (henceforth known as "Terabyte") that I bought with my 27" iMac. I formatted, and put a minimal (to make it bootable) system on Terabyte the same day back in late November 2009 that I set up my 27" iMac. Somehow -- I don't know how -- Terabyte got initialized as "case-sensitive." I didn't even know at the time that there WAS such a thing as "case-sensitive" or "NOT case-sensitive" format.
    Sunday morning (05/08/11), Drive Pulse, a toolbar-resident utility (that's Part of Drive Genius 3) that monitors internal and external drives for physical, problems, volume consistency problems, and volume fragmentation, reported a single bad block on the volume Terabyte, advising me that it would be best if I re-formatted Terabyte ASAP. I thought I could open Terabyte in a Finder window, Select All, and drag everything on the drive to ANOTHER USB external drive of 2 TB capacity (henceforth known as TB2). When I tried to do that, I got an error message:
    "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
    First I'd heard of "case sensitivity" -- I'm not too bright, as you seem to have realized.
    Oddly enough (to me), I could move huge chunks of data, including a folder of 40GB, from Terabyte to TB2 with no problem.
    Then the scenario unfolded per my too-convoluted message: several hours of trying things on my own, including making a .dmg of Terabyte (henceforth to be known as Terabyte.dmg) -- which left me with the exact same problem as described in the previous 4 paragraphs; and my 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare, who at least explained this case-sensitive business, but, after some shot-in-the-dark brainstorming -- tough to do with only one brain, and THAT on the OTHER end of the line --  the very pleasant AppleCare rep and I ended up equally perplexed and clueless as to how to get around the fact that a .dmg of a case-sensitive volume, while not case-sensitive in its "image" form (Terabyte.dmg), and thus able be transferred to TB1 or TB2 with no problems whatsoever, when opened -- either by double-clicking or opening in Disk Utility -- produced a desktop-mounted volume (henceforth known as the volume "Terabyte," the original name of the case-sensitive volume from which TB1.dmg had been made) that had the same case-sensitivity as the original from which it was made.
    In the meantime, having gotten the data I needed to save off the physical USB "case-sensitive" volume Terabyte in the form of Terabyte.dmg, I erased and re-initialized the physical USB "case-sensitive" volume Terabyte, getting rif of the case sensitivity, and renaming it TB1. But it all left me back at square one, EXCEPT I had saved my data from the original "Terabyte" drive, and reformatted that drive to a NON- case-sensitive data now named TB1. The confusion here stems from the fact that problem case-sensitive drive, from which I made Terabyte.dmg, was originally named "Terabyte". When I re-initialized it as a NON case-sensitive drive, I renamed it TB1. I'm sorry about the confusing nomenclature, which I've tried to improve upon from my original message -- usual text-communication problem: the writer knows what he has in mind, but the reader can only go by what's written.
    So, anyway, I still have the same problem, the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" still cannot be transferred in one whole chunk to either my internal drive, TB1, TB2, as the Finder interprets it as a volume backup (which it is), and reads the desktop-mounted volume "Terabyte" as case-sensitive, as the original volume -- from which the disk image Terabyte.dmg was made -- had been at the time I made it. 
    "As long as that situation doesn't arise, you should be able to make the copy with a tool that's less fastidious than the Finder, such as cp or rsync."
    I'm afraid I have no idea what "cp or rsync" are. I'd be happy to be educated. That's why I came here.

  • I am trying to install MasterCollection_CS6_LS16. When I click the install file I get this error message: We've encountered the following issues. Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation.

    I am trying to install MasterCollection_CS6_LS16. When I double click the install file I get this error message: We've encountered the following issues. Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation. What does that mean? How should I proceed?

    Hey iraravitz,
    Could you please let me know what version of OS are working on.
    You might receive this error when you attempt to install on a drive with the HFS+ Case Sensitive file system, which is not supported for installation of Adobe Creative Suite 6.
    So, please try installing on a drive that has been formatted with a supported file system.
    You might refer the KB doc link mentioned below for the same:
    Error "Case-sensitive drives not supported" or similar install error | Mac OS
    Let me know if this helps.

  • How can I transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive?

    Community,
    Every time I try to transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive, I receive the attached message: "You can't copy 'iPhoto Library' because it has the same name as another ideon on the destination volume, and that volume doesn't destinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
    My theory is, if I am able to unpackage my iphoto library, I can transfer each folder one at a time so that I can trouble shoot any "duplicates." Will this work?
    Let's say that works. How can I repackage the library so iphoto recognizes it?
    Is there a better way?
    Thank you,
    Jonathan

    Can we assume that I don't have any naming conflicts? Clearly there are or else I wouldn't get the error I'm getting.
    The error doesn't mean you have name conflicts. It means that the Finder won't take the chance that you might have them.
    You're suggesting that all I would need to do would be to use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the files from the case-sensative harddrive to my Extended Journaled harddrive?
    Yes. But I would just use the built-in rsync shell command. First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
    rsync -aE --delete
    Now drag the iPhoto library you want to copy into the window. You should have something like this:
    rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
    Drag the Pictures folder on the destination volume into the window. Now you have this (line will wrap on the page):
    rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library /Volumes/something/Users/you/Pictures
    Press return. The copying operation will start. When it finishes, you'll see a new dollar-sign ("$") prompt below what you entered. If there were no errors, you're done.
