Did I just notice this? Mac SSD Formatted wrong, now what?

While installing adobe CC on my MacBook 256GB SSD hard drive, I got an error that says my hard drive is formatted incorrectly and I will not be able to install Photoshop or any of the other programs. Instead of me backing up my entire system and reformatting my hard drive and then re-installing it
My question: what amount of space do I need on a partition to install CC and *ALL* the CC apps on the partition drive. Also, I would like to know if this solution would actually work?
Note: My primary hard drive is currently formatted case sensitive. I will be reformatting the partition that I make (which is not made yet) as Mac OSX journaled. I will not be storing my creative cloud files on the partition as I don't think that is necessary..
Here is my bonus add on question: Do creative cloud files need to be on the same partition as the actual CC apps?

Your plan won't work. you need to reformat the whole drive. The installer will still refuse to work if the primary system volume is incompatible since even if you define another location for everything there will always be some components on the root drive.

I need to change the home folder name. I just bought this mac today and my cousin put his name in because he had to back up his phone while we were still at the store so he could get a new phone and now my brand new imac says his name in the home folder. This is very frustrating. I would not have let him put his name in there if I didn't think you could change it. Someone please help!

Delete his user account and create your own, using your name.

You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. just opened this Mac comp having regrets.. uploaded this version because it was offered.. and can't work with pics???? what do I do to resolve this????

HELP.. I just opened this Mac Pro.. having second thoughts of the gift.. got it to work with pics .. and now it tells me ..
"You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X." "you have iphoto 9.3.2"
I hav no idea how to use this Machine..

If you're running Mavericks and have iPhoto 9.3.2 you can upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 at the App Store for free.

HT1338 I have just purchased this mac pro and am trying to upgrade software but the former owner has a pass word and I don't know it what can i do as I want to download the mac app store??

I am new to mac pro, i do own a iphone. I just purchased this mac pro 2008 and can not do upgrades as it wants the pass word from the prevoius owner and I don;t have it! What can I do?

Firefox is a web browser like Safari, it doesn't do photo editing.

Why are all my contacts suddenly 2 hours earlier than they were entered. I just noticed this today April 24

Why are all my entries on Icloud 2 hours earlier than they were previously entered. I just noticed this today April 23? They do not match what is on my Ipad or on my imac. Looks like the clocks are not syncronised someplace.

Your post is fascinating because your post header says "today April 24" while your post body says "today April 23" So maybe that is related...
Anyway, make sure all your iCloud devices have Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically = "On".
Also, in iCloud.com, open Calendar, go to Preferences (upper right) > Advanced > and check "Enable Time Zone Support".

Go up to the black Apple icon (upper left hand corner of the top menu bar).
Click on it once, and your first choice is "About this Mac."
Select that, and what version operating system does it say you are running?

I just had my mac mini repaired and now it is saying it is an Un-Authorized computer

I just had my mac mini repaired and now it is saying it is an Un-Authorized computer for Itunes. It is my 5th computer.

If you had 5 computers authorized, one of them the Mini, prior to the repair, then iTunes has continued to have it registered in its original form, but the repairs have made it look like a new computer.
You will need to de-authorize all your computer as described in this Apple Help page, which says
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Then you can re-authorize each of your computers individually.

CS6 Just upgraded my mac to Yosemite but now can't import graphics from photoshop to illustrator. Does anyone know a solution

CS6 Just upgraded my mac to Yosemite but now can't import graphics from photoshop to illustrator. Does anyone have a solution?

My advice to you is, if you can, drop back to Mavericks. You will have better luck since CS4 is not supported (nor are CS5 or CS5.5) on Yosemite. The other alternative is to uninstall the entire suite, run the cleaner tool and reinstall completely from the original discs or a new download. Be prepared for other fun stuff as well.

Were you running iOS 7 beta? If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.
Not a developer and running iOS 7 beta? <edited by host>

HT201442 I've reset this thing like 3 times now what's going on with it? why won't it connect to my iTunes?

I've reset this thing like 3 times now what's going on with it? why won't it connect to my iTunes?

Beyond resetting what have you tried?
Common fixes can be to use a different USB port or different USB cable. You can also try updating iTunes, or uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
Does your computer see it at all? Is there a little chirp when you plug it in?

Not recieving calls or texts on my iphone. Just noticed this about 4 hrs ago. Help!

I just noticed that I am not receiving calls or texts on my iphone. I am able to call out and receive voice mail.. I tried turning it off and back on, and also took out the SIM card and replaced it. Still not working. Any suggestions?

Hey weatherlover!
Wow! I hope the weather is great where you're at and not affecting your phones! That sure is a problem that you are having. Let's see if we can get it fixed.
Now, are you not getting ALL calls or is it just some? Is this mainly indoors? Signal strength may vary indoors just based on the building and sometimes the call will not be able to find your phone and result in a simple voicemail notification. Also, have you made sure like Ann154 stated that your phones are programed correctly? What happens on the one device when you try and make a call? Do you get an error or any error when send/receiving a text? Let us know!
Thanks!

"About This Mac" disc usage wrong.

In short I have a 480GB SSD by OWC. The audio alone, according to "About This Mac", is over 581.14GB... Something is obviously not adding correctly.
I must admit, I had a couple of iPods that I downloaded music from to a VMware running Mac OS 10.9.4. The host OS is something that I can't mention...
I used the Hudini for Mac on the 10.9.4 WMware OS to unhide the music.
Since I noticed this disc usage inaccuracy. I've deleted most of the music. Because at one point it was showing over 1TB for the audio.
I've also did a command R at start up and ran Disc Permission and Repair.
I also turned off Time Machine, reboot, turned TM back on, reboot. (Someone else had the opposite disc usage and this helped.)
My next thought is to delete the Mac OS 10.9.4 via VMware, as this was where I originally downloaded the music from an iPod. I went through the music and transferred over to the host OS the selection that I wanted to keep. When I Get Info on the music app via Mac OS X ssd ▸ Users ▸ KOT ▸ Music ▸ iTunes ▸ iTunes Media it comes up with a little over 17GB.
Thank you,
KOT

I really wish that I could say that this helped. But it made it worse.
It's now saying that I have 15.6TB of Photos, 4.77TB of Audio, 4.26TB of Movies and 34.6GB of Apps.
I tried it twice. Once when I was using the Mac, then when I saw that it made it worse. I did it again, though I left it in the "Don't spotlight" list, rebooted and finished what I had to do. When I was ready to be done with the computer. I removed it from the list and put the display to sleep. Came back a couple of hours later and found it the same way when I tried it the first time.
Now that the rest of the stuff, such as Photos, Movies and Apps are overly "used". I am beginning to think that it's a Y.... thing for right now.
Thanks for your thought though.
KOT
