Can't install CS4 on Mac's root drive?

I have a Mac Pro and recently bought CS4 Production Premium.  In the list of known issues, it says "On Mac, you cannot install to the root drive. (#BG044824)"
Does that mean I cannot install CS4 on my Mac hard drive (the HD that has OSX and all the other applications)?  I have to have a 2nd Mac HD to install it on?
What exactly is a "root drive"?  I attempted to look up a definition via Google, but nothing definitive came up.
Thanks for the help!

It meant the boot drive. If you have only one drive that is fine. It cannot be installed on a secondard drive (non-boot drive).

  • I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drvie to die before i use the other drives

    I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drive to die before i use the other drives? Or, what is the best way to handle this?

    I do not know what you are waiting for.
    I'd make a backup of your important stuff before cloning the entire disk.
    Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external  firewire drive.  You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.

    SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!

  • How many Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X can i install in my mac pro 2009?

    How many of the graphics cards can I install in my mac pro 2009? Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X
    Thanks

    Why? do you use FCP-X? that will benefit from two. Also gaming in Windows where you can use Crossfire
    You have two 6-pin power feeds so you will need a small 450W PSU - those come with two 8-pin and two 6-pin.
    Those can often fit in the optical drive bay and cost $25-75 range.
    "500W" is NOT for the card! that is the minimum PC PSU only!
    when buying look for card that uses only two 6-pin and not an 8-pin power.
    75W for the PCIe slot, and 150W from two 6-pin cables, most GPUs fall into the 200-250W at maximum stress levels8-pin is basically two 6-pins and 150W feed
    > we CrossFired a pair of Radeon R9 270s in our 2010 Mac Pro tower. Under Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, it registered 145 FPS in the Diablo test.
    http://barefeats.com/tube06.html
    Keep in mind that the Mac Pro tower can't feed enough power to the dual 980s, dual 290Xs, or dual 7950s.
    We used an auxillary power supply to compensate.
    For the hard core GPU rendering, there are external expansion boxes with their own power supplies.
    In an earlier article, we featured the Cubix Xpander which facilitated the connection of 5 GPUs to the Mac Pro tower.
    If you favor an AMD GPU like the Radeon R9 290X, MacVidCards can modify it to run at PCIe 2.0 bandwidth in your Mac Pro tower.
    The Sapphire Radeon R9 7950 Mac Edition is available from OWC and TransIntl.
    February 6th, 2015 -- Dual GeForce GTX 980s vs other Dual GPUs running multi-gpu 'aware' apps
    February 6th, 2014 -- (UPDATE) GeForce GTX 980 GPU versus 8 other GPUs running Games and OpenGL Benchmarks
    January 29th, 2015 -- GeForce GTX 980 vs 9 other GPUs running Resolve, LuxMark, and Octane Render
    December 28th, 2013 -- Does Final Cut Pro X 10.1 render faster on Mac Pro towers with Dual AMD GPUs? What about Motion 5.1?
    Things to keep in mind:
    The Radeon R9 280X we used was 'un-flashed.' It booted OS X fine but there was no startup screen. Also, when we checked the speed of CPU-to-PCIe-to-CPU communication, it appeared to be running in PCIe 1.0 mode instead of PCIe 2.0. However, unless the GPU intensive app saturates the PCIe 1.0 bandwidth, it will not run any faster in PCIe 2.0 mode. http://barefeats.com/tube12.html

    Hello Chris,
    thanks for getting back to me. I managed to install the AIR using command line
    and -silent -EULAaccepted options. Still having issues with installing Picaboo X
    software, but i suppose it's a problem on their side as other apps are installing
    without issues
    thnx

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you're running into problems with the installer.  Was there any additional log information provided?  It appears that it's been truncated.  When the installer runs, do you see any dialogs, progress bars, or errors?  Finally, did you get any errors when you ran the AppleScript?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Sorry, no. Different operating systems. You'll need to look in the app store to find an office program.  If you already have a mac, then you may want to look for Pages, or I have a PC and use office and like Documents to go.
