[MacOSX] Case sensitive filesystem no support ?
I would like to know why it's still not possible to install Photoshop on a case sensitive filesystem on Mac OSX ?
I would have expected that this new version would have get rid of this old limitation.
Although I have not tried it with CS6 yet, Bridge CS5 on Win 7 is case sensitive for file names when decoding the path to the file. Supposedly, win7 does not have a case sensitive file naming system. For example:
\\MyNetworkDrive/directory/pic.jpg
and
\\mynetworkdrive/directory/pic.jpg
will generate two distinct entries in the bridge cache system - one each for the upper and lower case "mynetworkdrive" - probably how the file hash code is generated. This can get awkward if you provide the file names as a parameter to the execution of bridge. This case sensitivity only seems to happen on network drives.

FileVault in Snow Leopard and case-sensitive filesystem?
Does FileVault in Snow Leopard support case-sensitive filesystems?
I know it doesn't in Leopard but was wondering if the situation had changed with Snow Leopard.V.K. wrote:
I don't know the answer to that but why are you using a case sensitive file system?
it's generally a bad idea not only because of filevault but also because many apps will not work well with it and some like many Adobe apps won't run on it at all.
I find it amusing how Apple tout the virtues of their operating system being Unix-based when they allow MSDOS-style bastardisations like this.
I've been using OS X for five years in case sensitive mode because I write software for (proper) Unix systems for a living. I need to be able to connect to a Unix-hosted version control system and know that my Mac isn't going to throw a wobbler just because there are two different files which would have the same name under a case-insensitive file system.
It's a shame that I am therefore denied access to Filevault but, from what I hear, Filevault causes all sorts of problems with Time Machine backups anyway, so perhaps it's for the best.
I have to say, in five years I haven't encountered a single piece of software that has a problem with case-sensitivity although, admittedly, I've never voluntarily used any Adobe software (does Adobe Air count)? -
Question: Do Any Mac/Lightroom users use a case-sensitive filesystem?
I know most people use the default case-insensitive Mac filesystem. But plugins may have issues in a case-sensitive filesystem (if not explicitly programmed to handle case), which I just learned is an option for Mac users. Just wondering if any Lightroom users actually do it.
Thanks,

I'm starting to think that having a case-sensitive filesystem on Mac would only be done by people with very special purposes in mind - e.g. developers who want to test unix command-line apps..., and would "always" be accompanied by case-insensitive volumes for normal Mac use - e.g. Lightroom-data/plugins/photos...
Ya think?
Almost certainly.
As I mentioned before, case-sensitivity is required for, among other things, POSIX compliance, which is of particular interest to a segment of the enterprise and interoperability spaces. Microsoft achieves this by a kernel change (and one of two POSIX-for-Windows licensed libraries) and offering a case-sensitive file system, NTFS. Apple achieves this by offering a way to make HFS+ case-sensitive, with kernel services and a BSD POSIX subsystem that is case-sensitive to the extent the file system is.
Note that apps that treat filespecs as unique when they differ only in case are not necessarily "poorly coded" as this would depend on context and application. There are some very, very good reasons to do so. In fact, one could make an argument that apps that cannot handle a case-sensitive environment are the poorly coded examples. Blindly assuming the case of a filespec makes it unique, or rewriting an existing filespec to a "corrected" one, are very dangerous assumptions.
For most of us, the defaults are more natural, and I would hazard a guess that Lr gets little or no QA under such environments. I know of at least one corner-case (exposed here) that would probably break. -

Installation of Flash Player 11.9 under OSX fails with case-sensitive filesystem!?
The installation of flash player 11.9 aborts with an unspecified error. I running OSX 10.9 with an case-sensitive filesystem. Can anyone confirm there are problems with the installer on case-sensitive filesystems?
The problem isn't the filesystem per se. It's bad software quality if pathnames defined wrong or multiple times with different notation. Often there is only one or two letters with the wrong upper or lower case. I guess in the current Flash installer this is the case. With the previous versions I had no problems.

My Mini isn't case sensitive, so I can't really say but I had two iMacs when I worked at Intuit that were case sensitive and they had all kinds of software installation issues. One of the Mac developers at Mountain View told me that Case Sesnitive shouldn't be chosen as a format except when a system is isolated and used as a testing server. For a workstation or home computer, it's a terrible choice for a setup.

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.

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.

[SOLVED] Case-insensitive filesystem issue
Dear fellas,
I am trying to compile an AOSP rom using the following configuration:
- Arch Linux x64
- Latest Kernel 3.12.8-1-ARCH
- BTRFS filesystem
I got the following error:
build/core/main.mk:118: You are building on a case-insensitive filesystem.
build/core/main.mk:119: Please move your source tree to a case-sensitive filesystem.
build/core/main.mk:120: ************************************************************
build/core/main.mk:121: *** Case-insensitive filesystems not supported. Stop.
So far, I was compiling with no issue. It just starts a couple days ago. I suspect that maybe is due to some kernel change.
Anyone already face this issue?
Appreciate any clue.
========================SOLVED==========================
Here is the solution presented by korn36 that did the magic for the main issue:
Remove this from build/core/main.mk, then compile:
ifneq ($(HOST_OS),windows)
ifneq ($(HOST_OS)-$(HOST_ARCH),darwin-ppc)
# check for a case sensitive file system
ifneq (a,$(shell mkdir -p $(OUT_DIR) ; \
echo a > $(OUT_DIR)/casecheck.txt; \
echo B > $(OUT_DIR)/CaseCheck.txt; \
cat $(OUT_DIR)/casecheck.txt))
$(warning ************************************************************)
$(warning You are building on a case-insensitive filesystem.)
$(warning Please move your source tree to a case-sensitive filesystem.)
$(warning ************************************************************)
$(error Case-insensitive filesystems not supported)
endif
endif
endif
It will disable the case-sensitivity check.
================edited====================
Again thanks to korn36 for the elegant python switch solution:
find . -name "*.py" -exec sed -i 's/\(bin\/env\ python$\|bin\/python$\)/bin\/env\ python2/g' {} \;
Thanks to Kacper for heads me up to a typo I made.
===============edited=====================
or still other script provided by Scimmia (Thanks Scimmia)
or simply
find . -name "*.py" -exec sed -i 's/env python$/&2/' {} \;
Just FYI both scripts works flawlessly!
Best Regards

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:

After many hours setting up OS10.10 from he scratch the last step should be installing m Adobe apps again.
trying this I always get the error message that creative cloud does not accept case sensitive file systems and I shall use another drive.
This means I have to set up the whole machine again after formatting without case sensitive but then having copy problems with my NAS?
I cannot belief that Adobe is really demanding this. If so this would show how urgent this market need alternatives and some more competition...Hi,
You can refer below link for more information.

What is HFS case sensitive file system
What is HFS case sensitive file system?
FlowerChick,
a HFS case-sensitive filesystem would allow you to have files that differ only by case in the same folder; for example, you could have different files named “FlowerChick” and “flowerchick” in the same folder. On a case-insensitive filesystem, that wouldn’t be allowed. -
IPod on iPhone is case sensitive with bandnames, iTunes is not
Hi,
The iPod application on the iPhone (software version 3.1) is case sensitive with bandnames, iTunes (9.0.1) is not.
iPod on iPhone shows the bands
"Guns n' Roses"
and
"Guns N' Roses"
as separate bands.
iTunes manages them as one band.
Cheers,
PhilippBoth the root file-system and the /var file-system on the iPhone are case sensitive.
I have no idea why. Curious thing for Apple to do.
Must be a unix hacker there. They love case sensitive filesystems
This is likely a cause of the problem.
Best just to rename the offending artist and album fields.
You can sort & filter them in iTunes and change a whole whack of them at once. -
Time Machine suddenly refuses to backup to non case-sensitive drive
There is another thread on this which for some reason is marked as resolved, so I thought I'd post a new thread. Suddenly after months of no complaints I get the following error:
*+Time Machine Error+*
+A volume you are backing up is case-sensitive, but the backup volume is not.+
+To Select a different backup volume, or to choose not to back up the case-sensitive volume, open the System Preferences and choose Time Machine.+
The only thing I've changed is that yesterday I ran Software Update. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what was updated, but I suspect Quicktime was one of them since I needed to reboot. So now I'm at 7.4.5 in Quicktime.
Time Machine refuses to backup my drives now complaining about the case sensitive filesystem. The thing is, *NONE of my drives are case sensitive.* Looking at the Change Drive window in Time Machine, I see that most of the drives on my system say "reforat required" if I am to use them with Time Machine. All drives on my system are *Mac OS Extended (Journaled)*. The fact that some drives are not requiring a reformat and some are, even though they all are the same format is quite puzzling.
I took a spare drive and allowed Time Machine to reformat it for it's use. It has now reformatted the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Case-Sensitive).
Can anyone shed any light as to why TM would suddenly require my backup drive to be case sensitive when none of my drives are?
This make no sense...
-KOk - Running Disk Utility Verify on both the system disk and the TM disk seems to have magically stopped this error. Note that Disk Utility didn't actually find or fix any problems with either disk. The problem just went away....
It doesn't make any sense.

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?
