Installing Actions in Elements 10 Mac/SSD drive

I've installed actions in Photoshop elements 9 before with no problem. I just tried to install an action in PSE 10 and here's the puzzling thing: I'm going to Library (not user library) / Application Support / Adobe / Photoshop Elements 10, but instead of seeing the Photo Creation folder and Locale folder, I'm only seeing a Presets folder and in the Presets folder is an Actions folder.
It's now the same in PSE 9 folder as well.
At first I thought, cool - Adobe changed this, but the action I put in the action folder doesn't show up and all the instructions I'm finding on the internet are telling me to install actions the way I did before - except those folders are not there for me!!
Since the last time I installed an action in Elements, I've upgraded my iMac to a one with an SSD drive / Mac Hard drive. I don't know how this might make a difference, but it's all I can think of.
I'm not really an Elements user, I just use it to test the Actions I make in Photoshop.
I'm making my action in PS CS2
My system is 10.7.5

There are two methods to play actions in PSE10. One from the Effects panel and other from the Action Player Guided Edit.
To play in Effects Panel:
Mac HD\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Photo Creations\photo effects
Put you .atn file and .png file here (as explained by 99jon)
To play in Action Player guided edit:
Mac HD\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\<locale>\Workflow Panels\actions
Put your .atn file in this folder.

Installing Actions for Elements on a Mac

Does anyone know why I have no "Adobe" folder in "Applications Support" folder under library on my Mac hardrive while trying to download actions for Elements 10?

In the app store version everything is contained within the app package itself, as required by apple's app store guidelines. The problem is that the app store version doesn't seem to care much about mediadatabase.db3 at all. In PSE 9, the app store version never regenerates mediaDatabase.db3 and runs happily without it. In PSE 10, sometimes it works. I'd also delete thumbsDatabase.db3, too.
If you right click the app itself and choose Show package contents>contents, you will find the stuff that is normally in library>application support in a folder in there called Application Data. You will get an error message that it can't be modified when you try to put the actions in there. Click Authenticate and give it your OS X account password and it will let you add them.
However, you may find you're restricted to running actions in the actions player.

Installing previously purchased Adobe Acrobat on SSD drive on computer

I purchase Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro a couple years ago. It is installed on my HDD drive but I recently added an SSD drive and want to get it installed on there. I don't mind taking it off my HDD drive, I just want it to be on my SSD drive, but when I try install it using my old serial number it says that it is now invalid. Is this because I can't install it twice? What do I need to do to get it installed on my new drive? This is on the same computer.
Thanks,
Jason

Does it actually say "invalid" about the serial number? If so that suggests a typing or transcription error; if using copy/paste be sure you aren't pasting any spaces before or after.
If it uses a different language, what does it say?

Is it better to install windows on the same mac hard drive or use the second hard drive bay as it's own? Im also using deploy studio and am having trouble creating a workflow to assign the bay.

Have mac pros with 1tb drives in tem. Trying to figure out imaging via deploy studio.

For the easist install and problem solving having W7 on it's own disk would be the best way to go.
The only thing you need to do is either take out the lower # drives ahead of the future Windows disk or put the Windows HD in bay/slot #1. (or just take out all but the future W7 disk and install it manually works too)
The easiest way would be to put the W7 drive in slot slot/bay #1 then you can still use BC Assistant to install the drivers and such.
After the install you can have the Windows drive in any slot you want.
I'm not familier with Deploy Studio so can't help you beyond this.

New install of Photoshop elements for Mac 6

I have the downloaded trial version on my new Mac. I now want to install the copy I bought. When I do so the first thing I get is an error message.
JavaScript Alert
Critical errors were found in setup Incompatible payload already installed Please see Setup log file for details.
Can someone help me fix this problem. It is very frustrating.
Thanks,
Karen

You should have run the uninstaller from the download for the trial. At this point, get rid of as much stuff as you can find (don't forget to check hard drive>library>application support), then download and run this:

Installing SSD Drive - SATA 3 connection not working

Trying to install a new Samsung EVO 850 SSD Drive. The motherboard is MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine). I can get it to work on the white, dark blue, and light blue SATA connections. The yellow SATA connection (I think labeled SATA 3) does not work. It does not work when I connect it to anything in the computer. I need all four connections. Two hard drives and the DVD reader are already using the white, dark blue, and light blue SATA connections.Does anyone know how to get the yellow SATA connection (SATA 3) to work?Thanks! It's been a long night....

Thanks for the suggestion. I too had noticed the motherboard diagram. I tried and tried all three SATA connections over and over again with no progress. I tried everything I could think of. Changed wires, checked the BIOS, etc.I was just ready to give up when my wife received a call from the Microsoft store notifying her that the install of Windows 10 on her laptop was done. She put the computer tech on the phone, I described the problem and he suggested that I try what I had been contemplating - reinstalling Windows 10 all over again. So I plugged in the SSD drive, both regular hard drives and said to myself, "After this many hours, I've got nothing to lose!" Reinstalled Windows 10 from my USB flash drive and everything worked like a charm. I couldn't believe it!It appears Windows 10 reads your entire hardware configuration on the initial install through the Internet. Which takes forever!Windows 10 doesn't like changes. So those of us who like to upgrade our computers with new SSD drives, memory, etc. are going to have to re-learn how to do it. It used to be so easy! Learning Windows 10 and how it reacts to new hardware configurations certainly sucked up many hours of my time!Thanks for the on-point advice.

Can I install Windows (7) on my iMac SSD (late 2013) ?

I'm about to take delivery of my new iMac (late 2013) with the following specs :
27-inch Core i7 3.5 GHz with 16gb RAM
256 GB flash storage (pure SSD, NOT Fusion)
I've googled and found that some say that Windows cannot be installed on the Fusion Drive due to the Fusion Drive containing an SSD portion.
I would like to install Windows 7 - is this possible to install on the 256 GB flash (SSD) drive ? I'm not buying a Fusion Drive with this iMac, just a pure 256 GB SSD/flash drive. Or must I install Windows on another separate, non-SSD drive ?
Sorry if the quesiton is too novice or dumb. Thanks.

Unless you do high end gaming or very intense
3D graphics work, it will be much easier to simply
install a product like VMWare Fusion
(http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/) or
Parallels Desktop Mac
(http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/)
and create a virtual machine. Read up on these sites
to understand how a virtual machine works.
The advantage of this approach, the "PC" simply runs
as another window in OSX. No rebooting required.
If you really need the full performance of the iMac's
graphics for your Windows use, you can dual boot
by creating a new partition on the drive via Bootcamp
and install windows there. (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/).
Be for warned, only Win7 and Win8 are supported by this
method.

Installing Actions in PSE 9.0

This is probably something simple... but how do you install actions in PSE 9.0? I have Windows 7.0 Enterprise, 64 bit. Particularly, I am trying to Install Pioneer Woman's Actions. Thanks for your help.

The directions on the following page should help.
Just substitute pse9 where it says pse8.

Installing three SSD drives on Mac Pro

Hello,
I followed the advice given here and bought 3 Samsung 840 SSD drives for my Mac Pro. Two of them are 120GB and one is 250GB.
I also purchased a Tempo SSD Pro 6GB/s SATA PCIe Drive. Only one of them (that holds two SSDs.)
I plan on using:
     • one SSD for the OS and APPS
     • one SSD for a PS scratch disc
     • one SSD for the photoshop, premiere pro, and after effects files I'm currently working on.
I figured I'd keep the 1TB HDD currently used in the computer to store all my other files.
I also have a 1TB seagate extrenal HDD that I would like to set up as a back up or time machine.
Does this sound good?
If so, which SSD do I install in my regular sliding drawer bay? I have 2.5" - 3.5" adapter.
Which two do I install on the PCIe card?
Which on do I use for what?
As you can see I'm clueless. Lol
Here are my specs before adding the SSDs.
Mac Pro
Mid 2012
Processor 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
Storage 1TB Sata disc (423.26GB free),
               1TB External USB Disk freeAgent GoFlex Drive (988.58 free)
P.S. I'm unsure about being able to install my current O.S. on the new SSD. When I bought the Mac Pro it had an older version of OS on it with a free download of the new OS. So the disc will only have the older version. Will I have to pay for the newer one or can I somehow copy it from the current HDD drive it's installed on?
Thank you so much. You have already been a HUGE help in the past posts and look forward to your wisdom. 8 )

Clone the system to the SSD you plan to use for system.
How much disk space is your system using now? w/o incl. anything in /Users, so just system.
If your system uses 60GB you want to use the 240GB SSD.
I think 120GB is on small side for scratch alone.
move projects to scratch array when you want to work on them: "Work disk + scratch" is fast. Then move them off the array, erase the array, and start a new project.
I would try the 2 x 120 SSDs on PCIe 6G as scratch and see how it feels and works.Try and test. No harm. I think that is what most people do, they experiement and try out different setups to find the one that works best for them.
Important: Have a clone of the system and be ready to restore or move it around as needed.
Install TRIM Enabler of course.
SSD Maintenance
Samsung recommends setting aside 10% for over-provisioning.
Their Windows utility, shame there isn't a Mac version.
#2: Try system on 120GB in drive bay with an adapter
With that then use the other two on the Tempo.
Those could be one large 360GB volume JBOD.
You will have to see how much your scratch space gets used.
I would have argued for 3 x 240GB SSDs. More flexible. Better SSD design - slightly. Adds $140 to the price, even if you had to wait to get 3rd one;
#3 get 2 x 240GB for scratch and projects and 1 x 120GB for system (if your system is less than 50GB)
I doubt you will find the difference of the system on the Sonnet Tempo a deciding factor.
The Sonnet Tempo Pro is for higher I/O RAID, both Tempo cards support 2 x SSDs (I have the cheaper one)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Series-120GB-internal-MZ-7TD120BW/dp/B009NHAF06/
PS: You have Mountain Lion. Buy Carbon Copy Cloner and it will clone the system and create the recovery volume also so you should not need to redownload 10.8.x - and you do not need the DVD with 10.6.4 again.

(Mac Mini mid-2011) Installing an SSD drive as a replacement of the HDD

Hey all,
I just got myself a Crucial M500 240GB SSD drive for my mid-2011 Mac Mini. I intend to replace the standard hard drive with this one.
Here are a couple of thigs that are still unclear to me :
- what will happen when I first boot my Mini after I replaced the HDD with the SSD ? As of now, this drive is in stock state, I guess not even formatted and empty.
- how will I be able to make a fresh install of Mavericks ? I made a bootable Mavericks install usb stick, but haven't found out a way yet to boot on it (I have a wireless Apple keyboard, and holding the cmd key when booting won't pop any disk manager)
Any further details on how I should proceed are appreciated, thanks !

Hi,
First off, thanks for taking the time to answer.

You have to hold the Alt key while your computer is starting up in order to show all bootable partitions, so you will be able to choose the OS X Mavericks installer flash drive.
Then, format the SSD with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
In case you want to clone your HDD to the SSD, you can use the Restore feature in Disk Utility to do it. Get a USB to SATA adapter, connect the HDD and follow these steps with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html Choose your HDD as "Source" and the SSD as "Destination". When you have finished, restart and disconnect your HDD.
Just so you know, what I'm trying to do is a fresh install of Mavericks, from scratch. I do not want to clone the install I'm running know on my standard HD.
I tried to use several keyboard combinason without any luck. I Googled that and found out that this is normal behaviour on a Mac with a wireless keyboard. How am I supposed to get into recovery mode then ?
Thanks !

I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive. What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again . What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

2009 Mac Book Pro want to install an SSD drive to replace optical 250 drive. What is best way?

My Mac Book Pro is getting very slow (2009) I want to replace 250 optical drive foe a 256 SSD Samsung850 pro drive. What is the best way to proceed. I am running Yosemite now. Have the SSD drive formatted and a back up made of my old drive. Do I have to go back to Snow leopard and reload? Then update to present?
Thanks

That error can be as a result of a number of reasons, corrupt file system, incompatible software, malware. etc.
I suggest that you connect the SDD via USB, boot into the recovery partition and install Yosemite onto the SSD. (Make certain that it has been formatted.)
Then test to see if it will boot the MBP (OPTION key down at start up and then select the SSD icon.)
If it boots the MBP, swap the drives and then connect the original or your back up HDD to the MBP and then drag and drop your data to the internal SSD.
This way if the HHD was corrupt, that issue then should be eliminated.
Not as quick a procedure, but this seems to be the best alternative that I can come up with.
Ciao.

How do I Install Mountain Lion on a Mac with 2 Drives

Good day ALL,
I am upgrading my Mac mini to add a second hard drive (solid state). After the HD install is complete I plan to re-install Mountain Lion and transfer my Applications, Files, etc from my backup. I am very comfortable with installing Mountian Lion on the solid state drive and making it the bootbale drive, my questions are:
1. It is a 120G soloid state hard drive, so I only plan to use it for the OSX system, Library and Applications. Should I include other files?
2. I plan to use my 750G SATA drive for the Users. How do I set up the User Folder archive on this drive? Do I just move it?
3. Then how do I ensure the User Folder on my backup, gets retored on the right drive?
Thanks

Regarding 1:
$ cd /Users. sudo ditto myname /Volumes/TimeMachine/myname copies everything in $HOME to non-TM backup.
Ensured latest SSD firmware up to date.
Clean install of ML to SSD from 8GB USB stick created by Lion Diskmaker.
$ cd /Users. sudo ditto /Volumes/TimeMachine/myname myname (see part 2 for /Users on another drive)
Added latest Xcode and command-line tools. Added VirtualBox 4.1.20. Put the 65GB VirtualBoxVMs folder on the second drive. Edited the ~/Library/Virtualbox/VirtualBox.xml file for the new mount points. Beware that many SSD (including Vertex) warn not to exceed 50% drive capacity or they will invoke slower drive controller algorithm. After some clean-up and re-arrangement, I have 98GB free on this SSD. It sings.
Files that are heavily accessed/shared by users would be consideration for the SSD
Regarding 2:
If you have sufficient external storage, back-up your pre-ML /Users either with ditto as I did, or with TM, somewhere other than the 750GB drive.
Use DiskUtility and repartition the 750 as one (or more) GUID HFS+Journaled partitions depending on planned usage.
Reverse the back-up to put your user(s) on the 750GB drive
In System Preferences > Users & Groups, unlock, then right mouse button click on individual user names. Advanced options ... will appear. For Home directory, Choose ... the particular mount point for individual user accounts now on the 750GB drive. Done.
Regarding 3:
Because you have moved individual user accounts from the internal drive where your last TM backup occurred before ML installation, TimeMachine will not understand (as far as I know), the new /Volumes/750GB/User/you home directory location that you just changed in #2. Another reason I used ditto(1).
If you do not want Spotlight to index that 750GB drive, you need to inform Spotlight Preferences > Privacy to exclude the drive.
Hope this helps.
PS: Darn advanced editor eating bullet formatting!!

My late 2012 mac mini boots slow with new ssd drive

So here is the situation. I purchased a 128gb ssd drive, installed it a usb enclosure, formatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), cloned it with carbon copy cloner 3, used the option key during boot up and selected the ssd drive and it booted my mac mini and it functioned perfectly. I than tested it for dozens of reboots and it worked fine. I then took apart my mac mini and removed the original hard drive and installed the new ssd drive. When I boot to the ssd drive it still takes 47 to 53 seconds just like the old drive. Aren't ssd drives supposed to be a lot faster?
My solution or tip is as follows; The reason it takes so long to boot is because the mac mini doesn't know you replaced the old drive and it is looking for it during the boot process. Finally it can't find the drive so it boots to the ssd drive. All you have to do to correct this is click on "system preferences", select and click on "startup disk" and select your ssd drive and click on "restart". After these steps your mac mini will now boot in about 17 seconds. Issues solved.

Yes, my solution fixed the issue. I went from a 47 to 53 second boot time to a 17 second boot time. The ssd drive is significantly faster than the original drive that came with my late 2012 mac-mini. This is my first post and I wasn't sure how to post this as a tip. I have another tip regarding usb 3.0 hubs.
