I'm fairly new to the Mac world and recently purchased a brand new Mac Book Pro 13' Retina Display. To make a long story short, I was unable to retrieve some old files off of an external hard drive, due to the format of the hard drive(s) being 'Case Sensitive' and the Mac Book being 'Journaled.' After some back and forth, I had the new Mac reformatted to 'Case Sensitive' in order to obtain those files. Fast forward about a month...
Everything has been dandy and with my photography business, those files were essential. In addition, I decided to purchase Photoshop Elements 12 to go along with Lightroom 5 last night. Come to find out, PSE 12 is unable to be installed under the volume of 'Case Sensitive.' That's strange, considering LR5 (Adobe Product) has no issue being installed...Hmm. Now, I understand I could partition the hard drive, but in the end, all data will be lost. I have since transferred all existing data to a 'Journaled' hard drive to potentially make this transition easier.
Although, does anyone have ANY tips or recommendations on how I could avoid partitioning/reformatting my current hard drive in order to install this program? The last thing I want to do is go through the hassle of setting everything back up. I don't have the tools, knowledge, or time to do this myself. So, in the end, I may have to make a trip to the Apple store if I cannot resolve this myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
