I am trying to install a plug-in, but keep getting the following error message: "Sorry; there is a space in your home directory path. MacOS makes it difficult to do that by accident. Contact your administrator for information on how to fix this." I have verified and repaired my permissions on my hard disk. Otherwise I have no idea.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012), iOS 6
It doesn't sound like a permissions problem to me -- it sounds like an account setup problem. I wonder if you've migrated to your new MacBook Air from some Apple setup you've had for a long time.
Anyway, here's what seems to be the related article:

Good luck.
No...I set my Air up from scratch as it came out of the box (and it is virtually new). I didn't migrate anything; all software was installed fresh from original disks.
Oh
In reference
Sorry; there is a space in your home directory path
i think that the path i.e. the location where you want to install the plugin is incorrect
you have to give the proper address(location of installation) means with no space.😉
And how do I do that?
I've been trying to install it in the same manner as I've always installed programs/plug-ins, etc, but it isn't working. The same plug-in installed just fine on my iMac (also running Mountain Lion).
So I'm at a loss on how to get it to work on the Air....
Was this ever solved? I have the same problem this morning with an MLB.com plugin.
Very weird as I have installed it before.
No...never got it fixed. I just did without the plugin.
