I could never imagine that programs like Adobe Photoshop couldn't be installed on a case sensitive file system...
To convert it, I need to boot with an external device and run iPartition. The software is capable of generating some bootable options, but I bet they wouldn't be bootable on a hackintosh.
Any ideas? Is there a way to transport it to the Unibeast bootable USB that I used to install my system?

Best Regards,
 
I'm interested in this also.
 
Ok, I did it.
Here's the small tutorial:
1) Get the Unibeast/Multibeast pen drive
2) plug it and create a directory on it: ex: "partit"
3) Copy iPartition.app to that folder
3.1) if you face some errors, go to terminal and:
Code:
su {then, type your root password}
cd /Applications
cp -R Applications.app /Volumes/<yourUSBdevice>/partit/
4) Copy iPartition.reg file to the same folder
5) restart OSX and boot from Multibeast/Unibeast
6) Choose Utilities/Terminal and then:
Code:
/partit/iPartition.app/Contents/MacOS/iPartition
7) Then, insert your key file and or load the one you copied to partit folder
8) Select the boot case sensitive partition
9) and choose the option to turn it non-case sensitive....

Worked fine for me.
Let me know how it goes for you.

Much thanks for posting how you fixed it. I tried it and it worked as well, thanks again.
 
Hey guys,
Sorry to bother you, it's an old post but I am new to all this here.
I am trying to find the ipartition.reg file, but not sure where to look for it.
Thansk a bunch,
 
Ok, got it working. Cool, thanks a lot.
 
Great product, works like a charm. And iPartition is now on sale for GBP 19.99, so I took the opportunity to grab me a license.
