OS X El Capitan downloaded but is not installing – how to fix it?

El Capitan downloaded but not installing? Read this post to find out how to install it.
When upgrading one of our MacBook Pros today we found that El Capitan downloaded but did nothing else, still showing “download” in the App Store: El Capitan downloaded but not installing? Read this post to find out how to install it. Clicking on the “Download button here does nothing. Selecting the  “Updates” tab shows this: El Capitan downloaded but not installing? Read this post to find out how to install it.Not super handy. However, assuming that it downloaded correctly we can kick off the installer from the Applications folder:   El Capitan downloaded but not installing? Read this post to find out how to install it. This one’s easy – open it as though you would any application and you should see: El Capitan downloaded but not installing? Read this post to find out how to install it. Sorted. Good luck installing the new OS and enjoy! We’re pleased so far.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7 and Mac OS X – will no longer open

After upgrading Lightroom 5.6 to 5.7, it refused to open with the error:
  Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/asneu.framework/versions/a/asneu
  This problem stems from the fact that the system drive is a case sensitive file system; in a similar vein, we were recently unable to install Adobe CC on a similar system as it is also incompatible with a case sensitive file system. We fixed our Lightroom issue by changing the path from:  
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.app/Contents/Frameworks/asneu.framework/Versions/A
  to:  
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.app/Contents/Frameworks/asneu.framework/versions/a
  The above assumes a normal install to the /Applications directory. If you are game to try the change yourself, you make the change via Terminal:  
cd /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ Lightroom\ 5.app/Contents/Frameworks/asneu.framework sudo mv Versions versions cd versions sudo mv A a
  Now try and start Lightroom and you should be successful.

How to auto mount samba or cifs shares in OS X Mavericks

After mounting your shares using Command+K in Finder, go to:  
Settings -> Users and Groups -> Click on the lock to allow changes
  how-to-automount-samba-shares-os-x-mavericks-01 Select “Login items” at the top, click on the plus symbol, then find your server on the left pane:   how-to-automount-samba-shares-os-x-mavericks-02 Click on the samba/CIFS share you wish to automount, then select “Add”; you should now see it in the list:   how-to-automount-samba-shares-os-x-mavericks-03 In theory, to hide the Finder window which opens when it is mounted you select the “Hide” tickbox on the left side of the share name. This doesn’t seem to work, however! Click on the lock to prevent further changes, restart and you should see your shares automount on boot.
