3rd Party Plugins Have Disappeared After OS X Mavericks Update

Hi. I'm have a bit of a panic here.
I'm a sound engineer and I use Mainstage 2 frequently to run all FX live for a variety of artists.
After reading forums with regards to the Mavericks update, I found no evidence of it causing issues with Mainstage of Logic.
HOWEVER, I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks yesterday and Mainstage has decided to throw a massive wobbly. When I load up my show, it says "The plug-in named 'XXXXX' is not available on your sysem." It's done this for every single 3rd-party plugin on my machine so I basically have nothing! Good one Apple!
I restored my machine to a backup I took just before the OS upgrade. Guess what.......it's even doing it there now! It's back on Snow Leopard. I've been into the folders and all the plugins are there. For some reason, Mainstage isn't finding them. I'm at a total loss and about to throw this thing out the window.
Can anybody save me???
Thanks.
Jonny

Verified and repaired disk permissions but still no luck.
I thought Time Machine was meant to put the computer back to its exact state at the time of back-up?!
Anybody know if there's a UK phone number for an expert on Logic/Mainstage?!
Thanks.

CS4 and 3rd party plugins - icons disappear

I'm having problems with CS4 on Vista 64bit with 3rd party plugins. I'm aware that 64bit issues exist but even on the 32bit CS4 Photoshop's toolbar icons disappear once Nik, OnOne etc are installed. I've left CS2 installed as well on the same system and this works fine.
This could be a problem with for the 3rd party developers of course but obviously CS4 has changed something.
I have Vista 64bit with 8gb RAM. Disabling the GPU functions doesn't help nor does running CS4 in XP compatibility mode. Removing the plug ins is the only way to resolve the problem.
Just wondering if anyone else has hit this problem and even better found a solution to it.

I think I can recall the behavior being confirmed for Nik and they are working on a fix/ update. The situation may be the same for other tools/ vendors, so you'll probably have to live with it for a moment or resort to using older versions of PS...

3rd party plugins crash Premiere after restart.

Yesterday, everything worked fine. I have a Sequence with clips and have been happily rendering from it for a week.
It has a mixture of Magic Bullet Looks, Film Convert and native effects across a range of clips.
Today, on opening Premiere I find that if any of the 3rd party plugins are enabled I can't render - worse, they crash Premiere.
I have not installed anything or changed anything since I was last using Premiere. I installed an update to the Creative Cloud desktop app this morning, but that was after I started having these issues.
I have tried restarting Premiere numerous times.
Rendering is fine with native Premiere plugins.
System:
Win 7 Pro
Core i7 950
12gb RAM
Quadro FX3800
Running Adobe CC, latest versions

It gets wierder. After the Creative Cloud desktop app was updated it said a whole bunch of programs needed updating so I updated Premiere.
On restart it now wont even recognise the .MTS files it was happily reading earlier.
Apparently it is now an Unsupported Compression Type, which it clearly wasn't earlier.
Windows plays the file fine so this is ANOTHER Premiere issue I'm having now...

3rd party plugins not working after archive and install

hi,
i have a few 3rd party plugins in my logic pro, such as all the native instruments, waves diamond, ik multimedia plugins, atmosphere and a few more,
i was getting an error on my g5 when i tried to run diskwarrior from the disk. it was the kernal panic message, it said i had to restart my mac, therefore i couldnt run diskwarrior from disk.
i did a bit of research and a few people suggested doing a archive install, so i did.
well what do you know, i had to re-install logic 8 again. other programmes such as transcribe, itunes idvd imovie etc were ok.
but logic didnt load up, o i had to re-install logic again,
also before i did that i checked to see if my 3rd party plugin were working in standalone, so i check all the native instruments and they seemed to work ok, T-racks deluxe works fine, so i thought they should all load up in logic.
once logic was installed again and had to get all the updates all my 3rd party plugins did not show up on my AU validation.
is there a way to get logic to see my 3rd party plugins or do i have to re-install all of them again.
cheers for the help
lib

Then check if the NI AU components are actually where they should be:
HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
If not copy them over from your "previous systems" folder which was created on your HD during the archive and install process.

Disappearing "3rd Party Plugin" option

I recently tried to change the search path for 3rd party plugins to my After Effects plugins folder (Applications > Affter Effects > Plug-ins). They still wouldn't show up when I'd open Motion and navigate to the 3rd Party folder in the Library. So I gave up and didn't bother with it any more.
I was more distracted by the fact that none of my Replicators or Particle Emitters were showing up, so I re-installed (or possibly installed for the first time, this is a work computer, so I didn't do the initial installation) the Motion Content and they all appeared as expected. Now, here's what's confusing me:
When I go into Motion's Preferences now, there is no longer even an option to set the path for 3rd Party Filters and Plugins (under the Content Library & Templates section)...
Anyone know how I can fix this and get my plugins to work? I didn't have any trouble doing it on an ancient G4 Powerbook, but for some reason a fully-loaded MacPro is being difficult with me.
Thanks for any help.

I'm sorry, I don't think I explained this clearly enough:
My problem is NOT that the plug-ins won't show up in my Library after I set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences.
My problem is that there is no longer even an option anymore to set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences! It was there before, and now it has just disappeared! I don't know how to get it back. When I open Motion's Preferences pane now, in the General section, the sections are as follows:
Startup
Interface
File Browser & Library
Content Library & Templates
Media
Keyframe Editor
Normally, the "3rd Party Plugins" section is right below the "Content Library & Templates" section, but it's not there anymore...
I apologize for any confusion caused by an earlier post and hope my problem is more clearly understood now. Thanks!

How do you install and delete 3rd party plugins from Logic 9?

I have been trying to install RX2 from iZotope with no success. I can authorize it in the standalone version but not in logic. I had a previous demo version of it installed and everytime I went to authorize it would point to the earlier version and not authorize and run in demo. I removed a number of files pertaining to it from HD & User/ Library/ Preferences and Audio/ Components and tried reinstalling. Now it doesn't even show up in the plugin list. Can anyone tell me how to clear this up? Also, how to deal with 3rd party plugins. What can I say, no problems with Reaper! Appreciate any help with this. Thanks

The Isotope website isn't very clear about it.. It seems to indicate the Windows version is 32 and 64 bit where as the AU version is 32bit and will work/is compatible with Logic 64bit.. which it will as it will run under the 32 to 64bit bridge... when Logic is run in 64bit mode..but as i said, it's hard to tell one way or the other.
The thing is, if you simply reinstall it.. and then run Logic first in 32bit mode and then in 64bit mode.. it should show up.
Where are you looking for it in Logic?
Does it show up in the AU Plugin Manager? (after, that is you have reinstalled it)

3rd party plugins make Acrobat Crash

Hello, I am running Windows 7. When I install Third Party Plugins into the plugins folder, Acrobat crashes 20-30 seconds after it opens. I have tried this with Acrobat Pro 9, Acrobat Pro XI and Reader X. Always I get the same result. HELP!

Hi controls guy,
You need to check with the developer of these 3rd party plugins as to what might be causing the crash.

Rave

Flickering graphics in Logic - especially 3rd party plugins

I see a lot of people reporting (myself included) "flickering" of graphics in Logic, especially in 3rd party plugins so I decided to post a video of it occurring. Is this a "known issue"? I will be reporting it to Apple, and I hope everyone else experiencing it will do the same. Please watch the video and provide any input that you might have. Thanks!
https://youtu.be/y_G0Q8J2Egw

Hi Clancy,
Could it be related to a Retina display?
Possibly... but as you know, I cannot test for that as i don't have a Retina display... (and frankly I'm not sure I want one at this time ) and I could recreate it on a standard screen using the same 3rd party plugin as the OP used... so i think it isn't specifically a Retina issue but... maybe retina 'enhances' the problem because of the extra load placed on the Graphical hardware/routines
So...
Is the OP is using a Retina display with his Mac Pro?
I suspect however, given the video he posted, demonstrating the issue occurring with the PSP MasterQ2 plugin...that it's only happening with some 3rd party plugins.... (as again he stated "especially with 3rd party plugins" which really might mean... only with.. depending on how you 'translate' that) and therefore my comments earlier.
Finally while the number of posts about this issue is actually rather small ( as far as i can determine from some detailed searching at least).... the thread on GS seems to indicate it's been going on since early versions of LPX and is related to Yosemite rather than LPX itself...
https://www.gearslutz.com/board/logic-pro-x/987219-logic-10-1-0-crazy-flashing-g raphics-plugins.html
...and some people have been reporting the same sort of flickering issues with other 3rd party apps and also plugins for apps like Aperture for example... after upgrading to 10.10... again indicating its a general Yosemite issue rather than a specific app issue.

Can I rearrange AU 3rd party plugin's nested folder structure??

Is it possible to organize 3rd party AU plugins by TYPE rather than by Brand? Even better, can they be integrated into the menu of Logic's included instruments/effects? It's hard to sift through say, all your samplers, or all your synths, when they are organized by Company names, and separated from Logics own instruments. I would love to see Kontakt and Sampletank alongside EXS24. And all my compressors together in a list, as opposed to them all being nested individually.
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but was thinking maybe someone figured out a way to change the structure. Thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't think I explained this clearly enough:
My problem is NOT that the plug-ins won't show up in my Library after I set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences.

Logic 9 - 3rd Party Plugin Settings not rememebered

Is anyone else having these problems?
GearBox and PodFarm don't recall their settings after Logic 8 to Logic 9 upgrade, so compete mixes have GONE!!!!
Wave Burner does the same thing with 3rd Party Plugins!!!!! Ozone is not recalling anything.
This is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD!
I've lost weeks, months and in some cases YEARS of work on some projects.
Thanks Apple, lovely.

This is the wrong forum (because it is clearly not a general problem with AudioUnits), you should contact the plugin manufacturers!
I don't know GearBox and PodFarm, but Ozone is incompatible with a new feature in WaveBurner and needs an update.

A third party plug-in disappears after a localization patch installation

I have a third party plug-in installed for PhotoShop CS3.
The third party plug-in disappears after installation of a localization
patch. I tried reinstalling the plug-in, but that does not work.
It appears that after the patch is installed, tw10428.dat maps
the English texts on the menu to Korean.
"$$$/Menu/Help/AboutPhotoshop=Photoshop 정보(&A)..."
"$$$/Menu/Help/AboutPlugin=플러그-인 정보(&B)"
"$$$/Menu/Help/Contents=Photoshop 도움말(&H)..."
"$$$/Menu/Help/Home=Photoshop 온라인(&O)..."
And somehow, the third party plug-in disappears because it's not mapped
in the .dat file. I tried manually editing the file and to input
entries for the third party tool and that does not seem to work.
Do you know how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Chris,
How can I install it correctly? It is
The plug-in was working fine before the patch. The patch
is just an executable which I ran after I closed Photoshop.
There wasn't any error message and the instance of Photoshop
works fine when I re-run it other than the fact that the plug-in
is no longer in the menu.

Possible to control 3rd party plugin/palette?

Is it possible to write something (JavaScript/COM programming/plugin) that has access to a 3rd party plugin/palette? I'm talking about XMPie uDirect. XMPie doesn't offer an official API for the plugin but I want to invoke a special action automatically that can be accessed only by the plugin's InDesign palette. I want some kind of automation.

This won't work, sorry. The palette cannot be controlled through the menus... except showing/hiding it.
I got the same idea with system events. It would be great to have a program that sniffs system events and gives information when I press a special button in the InDesign palette. The 3rd party plugin should be a kind of library like DLL that exports functions. Does anybody know a program that can monitor InDesign.exe with all its sub-processes, DLL handles and called DLL functions?
[Edit:] I tried a DLL viewer which can open and show XMPie's plugin files XMPBackEnd5.apln and XMPFrontEnd5.apln (APLN = InDesign PlugIn). They seem to be normal DLL files. If anybody knows the secrets of "decrypting" DLLs it would be nice to know if this can help me. I need to invoke the plugin's commands for XMPie's "Dynamic Print" (new dialog opens) and then just confirm with "OK" to start the export.

Photoshop CC 2014 and 3rd party plugins

When I installed Photoshop CC2014 my 3rd party plugins didn't port over. Do I have to reinstall them?

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.
Petermclennan considering Photoshop CC 2014 is a new version of Photoshop you will need to reinstall your third-party plug ins.
