Wget - Howto install on OSX

 Steps I took to install wget on my OSX box.

$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)

ADD homebrew to your PATH:

$ (echo; echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"') >> /Users/tgrubbs/.profile

$ eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

$ brew install wget

Photoshop CS5 and OSX High Sierra

After upgrading from Mavericks to High Sierra today, I found my CS5 version of Adobe unresponsive.  I knew this was likely going to be the case and so I had purposely stayed on Mavericks until my hand was finally forced.  I typically don't wait to upgrade like this but when I spend a small fortune on Adobe products, it makes it very disturbing to have them become obsolete when upgrading.  

I know many will say I should be willing to upgrade but I just couldn't stomach the cost of going to the new subscription based model of Adobe.  I sometimes go months at a time and don't open Photoshop or Illustrator and then I need it and use it every day for a few weeks.

So if you are like me and want to use CS5 (and I believe this will work with CS6), then simply install the from the link below and you should regain use of your Adobe CS5 programs

I’d been getting an error message on boot, “To open ‘CS5ServiceManager’ you need to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website.” That must have been coming from CS5’s “helper” app that loads for me on boot (or load-ED on boot). 

This link and download fixed my problems:

So far so good.

OS X Yosemite - Create Boot Disk

There are multiple ways to create a boot disk, this is just one that I've found simple and efficient.

Steps:

1. Connect a formatted 8GB (or larger) usb drive, and rename the drive Yosemite. (The Terminal command used here assumes the drive is named Yosemite.) Also, make sure the Yosemite installer, called Install OS X Yosemite.app, is in its default location in your main Applications folder (/Applications). 
2. Run the following command (remember the file must be in the right location and the usb drive named "Yosemite" or change the command to match the name you've selected): 

   sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Yosemite --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

3. Launch Terminal app.  Warning: This step will erase the usb drive. Paste the copied command into Terminal and press Return.
4. Type your admin account password when prompted.
5. You'll see the following... Erasing Disk: 0%... 10 percent...20 percent... etc. Wait until you see the text Copy Complete. Done. This step may take 20 minutes or more to complete as it is copying a large amount of data.

You now have a bootable install drive.
