Excellent news Bob, well done.

I would NOT *move* any software at all. Instead re install it from original source, I know that sounds like making hard work but that is the sort of thing which creates conflicts.

Migrate bookmarks and eMails, stuff like that and of course any local data, but NOT applications, even small ones, and don't be tempted to let the Apple migration software move the applications either, I have in the past and regretted it. Far better with a clean fresh install from original source.

Good advice Robert. I think moving applications was part, if not all of the problem. Still not sure how other Adobe products e.g. LR4 and Elements 11 let me install but not CS6

Installed 10.8.2 on the second drive in the MMS as you suggested and then CS6 installed with no problems showing that there was a conflict on the first drive. Now I need to decided what to migrate and what is the best way to do it.^_^Well done.
I hate having to reload OS which is why I use Mac OSX as Windows in any form is too unstable after a year and needs refreshing.  My Macbook Pro 15" is running the same OSX Snow Leopard as it arrived with in 2007. :-)

I have found the easiest way to make the migration decisions is to move all the data across then to format the old drive.  This forces you to do a clean install on the new drive as and when you need a piece of software.

Incidently I seem to be able to launch CS6 located on the second drive when using the first hard drive as my start up drive.

Not a big surprise but be careful, you might upset it because it uses the system resources and it may now only want to play with the other OS.

I would only launch Cs6 with the same OS that it shares the drive with.

Prudence is my watchword. I know from the last few weeks how sensitive CS6 can be. I will copy over data and clean install apps as I need. Presume it would be OK to restore e-mails etc from time machine.

Yes that should be OK, If you are using cloud eMail then they should appear anyway. All your bookmarks and stuff should re-appear automatically.

You may need to go into cloud pref's and activate some parts of them they seem to need that sometimes when you do an install.

Dont talk to me about iCloud.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 6.1.
Now my Address Book on my Mac wont sync properly with my iPad as it thinks it has to do it via iCloud ratehr than directly.

Grrrrr.  They really need to live in the real world not in some super connected terabit network on Apple campus. 
Just leave the stuff when it works, add features but DONT disable working stuff..

Hi JKJ

Can I be a smug git? I noticed just before automatically saying yes that I was being asked if I wanted to migrate my address book and contacts to the cloud .. i said no.

Let me know if you find a way to get them back .. I know other people with this problem.

Ed

A lump of plaster just fell on the desk? Frightened the daylights out of me/


I have been installing insulation on the walls all day, may have something to do with that.

Unless it was the iCloud? :devil:
