Photoshop CS6 (extended) installation on case-sensitive disks

I understand that under the "requirements" of the Adobe Web site says you can't install PS CS6 (Extended) on the case-sensitive drives (I use a MacBook Pro, OS X v. 10.7.4).  This seems to have been the case at least since CS5.

I did not see this, and I bought (excitedly) update CS PS5 (Extended) to SP6.  I had NO PROBLEM installation PS5 on this drive.

Of course, as others have said, the installer refuses to allow you to install on a case-sensitive drive (for example, no options to install on another drive).  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 need readers sensitive to other work; I don't want to have to restart on another drive when I use PS and switch back and forth - it's all just stupid.

From my point of view (as a user, granted), this is lazy programming, and this must be resolved as soon as POSSIBLE.  At least in my case, I have a piece of a $400 software just too place, when I want to be up to my eyeballs enjoying PS6 throughout it's fame.

Outside an Adobe fix, I don't see a solution to this problem.  If I wipe my drive, put in shape in case-insensitive, then I lose the functionality for other critical work.  In addition, I'm not sure the process of wiping the disk, formatting it not sensitive to case and restore TimeMachine everything would be even work (since the backup hardware is from a case-senstive drive and try to go to a drive that is not case sensitive).

The REALLY frustrating part is that I have installed Photoshop 3, 4 and 5 (and much, much further) on the casing of the disks - all with no problem.  It is only now that the question slap me in the face.

It has to be a work around, if not a 'real' solution.

What help you might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated; details can be sent to cdretk at gmail dot com

I hope, and I thank you in advance.

Now I solved it (no thanks Adobe, who I am very disappointed).

In the past, when you wanted to install something on your Mac, you simply copy a folder in your Applications directory.

Photoshop (among other programs) got more complicated, it is decided that it must install things in the different system directories and potentially in your user directory.

That is the question (and the solution, in this case).  My user directory is on the drive that is case-sensitive.  I don't know what Adobe needs to install (as Photoshop is, after installation, available to all users), but this has been the key.

SOLUTION: Log on as another user (administrator-enabled) and install it.  Bang - it works without any problem.

Yes, I still had to copy all my plug-ins, etc. of the PS5 by hand (and sort those SP6 is not like - once again at hand), but at least it works.

Good software engineering practices dictate that installed software should PREFER discs case-sensitive and not case insensitive (think of the data).

Good installation support (on the phone) should at least suggest trying another user account...

Adobe: You owe me for my time on this one.  Where should I send my invoice?

  • My Photoshop CS6 extended has not transferred correctly Macbook iMac. I wonder to 'buy '.

    My Photoshop CS6 extended has not transferred correctly Macbook iMac. He was treated as a trial and now I wonder to 'buy '.

    I ran into this before. Click "buy this product" on the trial countdown screen.

    Identifies you if requested with your Adobe ID and password the cloud is an option for those who do not have a license serial number. It is not mandatory.

    Then, look for the option "I have a serial number.

    And from there and activate. Your trial period should convert Photoshop Standard or extended according to the serial number.

    Of course migrating or restoring from Time Machine breaks licenses.

    So apart from uninstalling, run the cleaner use the CC cleaning tool tool to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6

    and use disk utility to check your disk and launch a 'repair permissions' prior to installation.

  • Lack of 3d tools in Photoshop CS6 extended

    Hi everyone, I thought I would ask for help here before that I'm going through the agony of technical assistance from Adobe. I just installed upgrading CS6 Design and Web Premium yesterday. Received my e-mail for the free update yesterday morning and everything went very well for download and install as far as I can tell.

    Both the screen flash so that the Photoshop CS6 extended screen show, yet I have no 3D tool at all, either in the menu or the toolbar. This is the case as well with my laptop and desktop.

    I have the latest drivers for my video card and 'use the graphics processor' is checked in the preferences.  Will I be stupid and lack of something (quite possible), or not someone had a similar problem or suggestions.

    the desktop system specifications:

    Windows XPpro 32 bit SP3

    graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5450

    4 GB of RAM

    425 GB of free disk to work

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    CS6 with 3 D does not work with XP OS.

    Will need to migrate to Windows 7 and 64 bit with 8 GB of ram for all benefits.
