Install PSE 10 failure - MacBookPro Lion - case sensitive disk failure

Can't install PSE 10 on my MacBookPro OS Lion 10.7.2, as disk format is case-sensitive + journaled.
The installer requires a NON-case-sensitive disk.
Is there any workaround ?
Any ideas ? Any help ?
Many thanks, yours
Michael

Unfortunately not MiMo-2012.  All Adobe software for Mac OS require a non-case sensative volume.  You may also find that you run into the same difficulties with other applications as well.

  • Change from case-sensitive disk format to the normal Mac OS Extended.

    Hi,
    I need to change from a case-sensitive disk format to the normal Mac OS Extended Journaled version.
    I have no external HD fitted, but I do have some DVD-Rs. I need to restore the data from 2 users, including iTunes and iPhoto files.
    What's the best way to achieve this?
    Many thanks,
    Tris.

    I just got off of the phone with Adobe support. They told me they knew the solution, but that they would not tell me tonight. I had to call back between 6:00 am and 5:00 PM tomorrow. That does not work with my schedule. So I googled some stuff and found that Adobe CS 3 is not supported with Case-Sensitive file systems. So OK, let me install this to my other MAC that has a non case sensitive drive. Same error. Even though I have a non case-sensitive drive, the OS is on a Case-Sensitive Drive and I am never prompted where to install like most all other Mac Software.
    I have always formatted case-sensitive. So I am thinking to myself why not start using a non case-sensitive drive. Well, to start off I want it case sensitive. I enjoy web programming and like this feature. Sure it is not needed, but I am glad Apple offered me a choice. And I am sure there are many other reasons why to use it. Also I would be interested in knowing why non case-sensitive drives are supperior.
    Why is this a requirement now? I have used Adobe software in the past without this specific issue. I also have Large TB drives and do not know how to 'safely' do this. You will not catch me jumping through this hoop. I will not risk the change to the file system. And I can not be expected to format my drive. I just wonder what Adobe would say tomorrow if I called.
    The Direct line I was given by adobe is 800-642-3623 for support on this issue. You don't need anything else but to call this number and ask. You can not get through after hours though.
    Wow, I just can't believe this and the lack of interest Adobe had with me.
    I hope I can get a refund on the software. Until I am able to downgrade my file system format, I do not want to sit on Adobe's bill. I will buy it again assuming I learn I can't do without PS CS3.

  • Time Machine backup failure on case-sensitive disk?

    Hello,
    I just started getting a Time Machine backup failure error that says "A disk you are backing up is case-sensitive, but the backup disk is not."
    None of my external disks have changed and I've not added any new ones.
    The error seems to be stemming from the fact that I'm logged in as multiple users on my system, all with MobileMe accounts. When I "get info" on all mounted disks, the only ones that are reporting "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)" are the mounted iDisks from the other use accounts that I'm currently logged in as.
    Does this mean I cannot use Time Machine while logged in as multiple users, all with the iDisks mounted? That would be a major annoyance to either have to log out/log in to each user as I need them or to disable iDisk syncing in my MobileMe prefs.
    Regards,
    Terry

    That seems odd to me; my iDisk shows WebDAV as the format and doesn't interfere with backups, but I don't have any other users' iDisks, either.
    Another possibility would be to reformat your TM drive as case-sensitive. That would, of course, erase all your backups so TM would start over from scratch, and some possible troubles when restoring (see the pink box in #5 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details); but you'd no longer have the backup problem.

  • Case sensitive disks?

    All my disks are case sensitive on my Mac. Why don't your products install? I failed with both Acrobat Pro and PS Elements 12. I have lots of case sensitive file names. I can't change them. So do I have to plug in an external disk just to run your products?

    But that does not work. It says on this page...
    "This limitation applies to both the startup drive as well as the drive onto which the software is installed."

  • 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?

  • Cannot install.  Main volume is case-sensitive, but I have a volume that is not.  How do I change the installation volume?  Creative cloud does not support case-sensitive volumes.

    I cannot install creative cloud on my macs main volume which is a case-sensitive volume.   I have a second volume that is not case sensitive.  How can I get the installer to use that volume?

    YOu can't. The CC app itself will always install on the system volume. short of reformatting your volume there is no way to resolve this.

  • Install PSE 10 from internet or from disk?

    I have installed PSE 10 and will soon have a purchased disk with the product code. Is it best to uninstall and then reinstall or just enter the code to complete the purchase? The install lost some tags ( only 12 )  but no need to reconnect after the upgrade from PSE 8 to PSE 10. This amazed me.
    In addition the conflict of sharing email attachment with Window Live Mail and PSE 8 has been resolved with PSE 10!!!!

    There's no need to reinstall. Just enter your serial number into the trial.

  • Problem in recovery from RMAN backup in case of disk failure

    Hi
    I have Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows. Full Hot RMAN backup of database is scheduled on daily basis. I am taking backup on disks. And then i do manually copy them on tapes. If any disk failure occurs than can i recover database completely in this scenario. If tried restoing that backup on different machine as given below
    set ORACLE_SID=<name>
    rman target sys/<pwd>@ORACLE_SID nocatalog
    startup nomount
    restore spfile
    create pfile from spfile
    startup nomount pfile
    alter database mount
    restore database
    Everything worked fine till above steps. Now i will execute last step.
    recover database
    Here it gives error:-RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 scn 264750
    Still i typed
    alter database open resetlogs
    Now i can open my database, But is it recovered completely? Or there is loss of some data? Why it is giving this error?
    Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply.

    I can understand the confusion with this whole concept.
    What I meant by all archivelogs is all the archivelogs that were backed up with the backup itself. Again, it is essential to ensure that you archive the current redo log AFTER the backup is performed and then back those archivelogs too. Good thing is, RMAN will take care of this for you if you backup the archivelogs with the BACKUP DATABASE command and/or backup the archivelogs AFTER you run the BACKUP DATABASE command.
    Once you've mounted the controlfile and CATALOG the archivelogs, you can go into SQL*Plus and issue the following query:
    select SEQUENCE#, FIRST_CHANGE#, NEXT_CHANGE# from v$archived_log
    order by FIRST_TIME;This will tell you what archivelog is the latest. Logs generated during the backup may also provide the necessary information. Performing Disaster Recovery should help to understand the full process.
    The ONLINELOG directory in FRA is only populated if you've configured your redo logs to be stored there. However, you are on 9i...right? If so 9i doesn't utilize a FRA.

  • How do I remove a "created" case sensitive disk image?

    Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks in advance for any and all advice. =)
    I used this command in an effort to ready my machine for android sdk and kernel editing (more exploratory and self education than actual editing). I want to understand and learn more the linux environment, but have decided ubuntu would be a better way to do this. I have a relatively small SSD and need this 40gb back to dual boot.
    hdiutil create -type SPARSE -fs 'Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+' -size 40g ~/android.dmg
    Unfortunately, I have already proven I'm not worthy of such adventure as I can not seem to figure out how to remove the 40gb dmg and free the space.
    I can eject, erase and move to trash but the 40gb just doesn't come free.
    Thanks!!

    Problem solved. Unmount, move to trash. Moderator please remove.

  • Install pse 10 and Premiere bundle, 5 disks no instructions

    I noticed the small print on the DVDs that said to start with disk # ( x ) for specific operating systems.  Disk 1 for windows , disk 2 for win 7 / 64 bit, disk 3 for mac.
    Am I correct in assuming that, of the first 3 disks, I should only use the one for my OS ? 
    Shouldn't there be a statement to that effect in the quick start guide, included with the disks?

    Yes.  Use only the one for your OS.  1 for Windows 32 bit.  2 for Windows 64 bit.  3 for Mac.

  • Installing to a case-sensitive fs

    When I did my original 10.4 install, I opted
    for a case-sensitive boot disk. I come from a
    UNX background, and am using UNIX utilities
    from darwin ports and my own UNIX files in
    a cvs tree. It seemed natural to use a case-
    sensiticve fs, since I would be using a lot
    of files ad applications that are case
    sensitive.
    Enter my girlfriend's graphics applications.
    After fighting with Adobe CS2 for hours, I
    cloned my data drive and re-partitioned it
    to have a 50 GB case-insensitive partition,
    just for applications. All was good with the
    world again.
    Enter the next of her applications, Macromedia
    Flash Pro. One of the same two errors as
    the Adobe suite was getting [ 1008:17, -4 in
    thie case ]. Looks like Flash writes to /Users,
    not just /Applications, so I think I am
    getting case-sensitive issues again.
    I attempted to symlink the dir onto my
    case-sensitive drive, but the installer
    did not recognized the symlink as a
    directory and prompted me to delete it.
    I've learned two things from this experience:
    1. A case-sensitive boot drive is near-useless
    for commercial applications.
    2. The people who write Mac installers are
    very, very poor progrsmmers. Cavalier
    attitude towards case, refusal to handle
    symlinks ... someone spent too much time in
    the primitive world of OS 9.
    OK, on to the question...
    I've repaired permissions, googled the error code,
    verified the hdd, even sampled the installed to find
    out it errored out during a file read.
    I am not going to clone my boot drive and reinstall
    onto a case-insensitive partition.
    Is there any sane way of fixing this? Maybe a
    wrapper daemon for crippled programs that are
    incapable of handling a case-sensitive fs?

    heya,
    Yeah, I was afraid of that. Kinda hoping there would be
    some crazy kext hack like you'd find in the linux/bsd
    world. Hmm, could be an interesting project actually,
    a case-insensitizer with an application white-list.
    Well, I got most everything installed after some
    trickery. Had to symlink /Users/Shared into a
    case-insensitive partition, which fooled the
    installer long enough for it to crash later
    on the example files, then changed it back to
    a dir.
    Kept the error dialog open and copied what had
    managed to install, hit ok on the error, and
    let it clean up after itself. I now have
    incomplete but functional installations of
    flash pro and dreamweaver.
    Now trying to find a way to pull the files
    out of macromedia's installer. Looks like a
    typical archive; has the unusual header SVCT,
    which I cannot find documentation for [yet],
    and file(1) identifies it only as 'data'. If I
    can find some docs describing the file format I'm
    golden.
    Hard not to knock the developers though. In the
    month I've been using OS X apps, I've seen many
    things that would be a firing offense where I
    work

  • Acrobat cannot be installed on case sensitive formated mac

    Any bug fixes available to get the acrobat installed on a Mac with case sensitive formatted hard disk? I formatted my mac withaout case sensitive but when I get the backup with my data from time capsule the original version comes back. Any help to this problem?

    No, it's not possible. At this point Adobe programs do not support case sensitive volumes at all.

  • Case-Sensitive volume issue installing Creative Suite 6 on mac

    Trying to install Creative Suite 6 on MacBook Air but an error message "Case-Sensitive volume is not supported" come up.
    How can I solve this problem and start using Creative Suite?
    Can I install Creative Suite 6 on case-sensitive volume?
    If not, how can I change my volume to non case-sensitive one?
    I am a graphic designer and not a developer who is not so savvy about tech.

    Tks_tks you will want to install Creative Suite 6 on a non-Case sensitive formatted drive.  You can find more details at Error "Case-sensitive drives not supported" or similar install error | Mac OS.

  • Installation of Photoshop CS6 (Extended) on Case-Sensitive Drives

    I understand that under the "system requirements" the Adobe website says that you can't install PS CS6 (Extended) on case-sensitive drives (I'm using a MacBook Pro, OS X v. 10.7.4).  This seems to have been the case at least since CS5.
    I didn't see this, and I bought (quite excitedly) the update from CS PS5 (Extended) to PS6.  I had NO PROBLEM installing PS5 on this drive. 
    Of course, as other users have indicated, the installer refuses to let you install on a case-sensitive drive (e.g., no options to install on another disk).  There is also no mention that CS6 must be installed on the boot drive.
    Requiring installation on the boot drive has serious implications for those of us who require case-sensitive drives for other work; I don't want to have to reboot from another drive when I use PS, and switch back and forth -- that's simply foolish.
    From my point of view (as a user, granted), this is lazy programming, and this needs to be fixed ASAP.  At least in my case, I have a $400 lump of software just taking up space, when I want to be up to my eyeballs enjoying PS6 in all it's glory.
    Outside an Adobe fix, I don't see a solution to this problem.  If I wipe my drive, format it as not case-sensitive, then I lose functionality for other critical work.  Further, I'm not sure that the process of  wiping the drive, formating it as non case-sensitive, and restoring everything from TimeMachine would even work (since the backup material is coming from a case-senstive drive and trying to go to a drive that is not case-sensitive).
    The REALLY frustrating part is that I've installed Photoshop 3, 4, and 5 (and from much, much further back) on case-sensitive disks -- all with no problems.  It's only now that the issue smacks me in the face.
    There's got to be a work-around, if not a "real" solution.
    Whatever help you might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated; details can be sent to cdretk at gmail dot com.
    I have hope, and I thank you in advance.

    Whether it is Apple or Adobe's work flow isn't the issue.  Between the two
    of them, if they are going to support both naming variants, then at both
    Adobe and Apple:
    1.  You MUST use the same case file names.  (E.g. FrameWorks and not
    Frameworks) EVERY time.  And refer to them in your programs and
    configuration files the same way EVERY time.
    2.  You may NOT in your development code use different but case invariant
    file names for different files.
    3.  Your libraries must do the Right Thing.
    What gets me is that few others seem to have this problem.  Perhaps Adobe
    needs to abandon Apple development software, and roll their own outside the
    standard system libaries.
    Further searching shows that it is not a problem unique to Adobe.  The
    games BeJeweled, and BZFlag have this issue, as does the Steam game support
    systems.
    In every case I've run down to date, it has been a violation of #1.
    Now there are workarounds:  A script that creates appropriate symlinks on
    case sensitive file systems would be fairly easy.   It would impose some
    minor amount of extra overhead.
    I bought a copy of Adobe Creative Suite.  I returned it unopened.  You lost
    a sale.  Furthermore, until it is fixed, I will mention this at every
    opportuity as an exampled of a combination of sloppy workmanship, and
    customer indifference on the part of Adobe.
    Tell your bosses, Chris, they need to fix this.
    Respectfully,

  • Time Machine Case-Sensitive Error

    I've read several posts about people who encounter the Time Machine error that arises when TM thinks that one of the volumes (source or destination) is case-sensitive while the other is not. Some people encounter this error genuinely, by which I mean that there is in fact a discrepancy between the file systems; this is not the situation I wish to address.
    There are other people - myself included - who have been using TM successfully for months or longer until one day the error crops up. When we check Disk Utility, both source and destination are shown to be case-insensitive. Many approaches have been suggested, from rebooting to reformatting, and many people have reported success; however, it appears to me that the problem has not been solved, since the cause of the problem has not been identified.
    In my own experience rebooting sometimes fixes the problems temporarily (for a few weeks) before it later reappears. But I would rather not reboot repeatedly, repeatedly Verify the disks using Disk Utility (finding no errors every time), or reformat unless I am sure that it will fix the problem once and for all. With that in mind, does anyone know of a permanent fix to this problem?
    Details:
    - TM thinks that the source volume Macintosh HD is case-sensitive
    - Disk Utility says that both the source and the external Firewire destination are case-insensitive

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    I've not seen any such posts here (and I read at least the title of every post in both the Leopard and Snow Leopard Time Machine forums).
    There are problems, on occasion, when there's a case-sensitive disk image of some kind on the internal HD (some downloaded software comes on case-sensitive disk images, for some reason); but that doesn't seem to be what you're experiencing.
    What, exactly, does the message say?
    There might be some sort of problem with your internal HD. When this happens, does the disk show it's S.M.A.R.T. status as Verified? Does +Verify Disk+ ever show an error?
    I'd be inclined to try a "full reset" per #A4 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. It's possible the preference file that directs you to is corrupted. This is a long shot, of course, but worth a try.
    If this happens again, look for any disk images, and try to get the exact message. You may also want to look in your system.log for messages.

Maybe you are looking for
