Are plug-ins developed in Windows also compatible with Macs?

I've tried looking for this information, but couldn't find it. Plus I don't have a mac around to test it.

No. Windows plugins are ordinary Windows DLLs, Intel x86 architecture. Mac plugins come in a variety of executable formats, the latest (CS3,4) being a bundle containing a Mach-O binary with some combination of PowerPC and Intel architecture shared libraries.
But the bottom line is, a plugin binary for one platform is incompatible with the other.
It is, however, possible to write a plugin which can be built into executables for all Photoshop plugin platforms on Mac and Windows. Most of those on my site are like this: http://telegraphics.com.au/sw/

Is Indesign CS4 compatible with Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2?

We are a small business and have been working in the CS2 suite forever. We had someone do some work for us in Indesign CS4 and are looking to upgrade to that version so we can work with these files as changes happen. If we upgrade to Indesign CS4 will it still be compatible with the rest of my CS2 programs (Illustrator and Photoshop). Placing files and such. Thanks in advance, I know I am way behind here but it is what is cost effective for now.

Adobe only sells InDesign CC (by subscription) or InDesign CS6. You might find boxed legal copies of CS5 or 5.5 from a vendor like Amazon.
You should be very wary of buying older Adobe software on the Internet or eBay. Many copies don't have a legal license and may cause you problems in the future. Caveat emptor.

Is InDesign CS4 compatible with Photoshop CS3????

Hi all.
I am a student and have been learning Illustrator and Photoshop CS3. I now need to purchase InDesign, but if I get the InDesign CS4 will it work with my CS3 programs????

Yes!!!

Is InDesign CS4 compatible with Office for Mac 2011?

Having trouble importing copy from 2011 Word docs to InDesign. Very small business cant justify updating from ID CS4. Just updated to Office for Mac 2011, however, and am now having trouble placing text into InDesign. Should I remove 2011 and go back to 2008?

As someone who never Places Office-formatted text in InDesign, I've also never considered issues of "compatibility" between any versions of the two application suites. Is the Office formatting critical? Unless you have some elaborate style-mapping import scheme in play, why not just save the Office document as text and Place that?

Plug-ins Needed for SMP Target Users

No Strobe Media Playback plug-ins are available to the SMP target audience.
The Introducing Strobe Media Playback presentation says:
Our target audience for Strobe Media Playback and Flash Media Playback are designers, content owners, enterprises, and developers who want to get started easily with an out-of-the-box, feature rich media player. Strobe Media Playback allows you to spend more time on creating content than focusing on how to build, or what media player to use.
So the SMP target audience is not Flash developers.
That same presentation says the target audience includes "bloggers, small business" ...
The majority of bloggers and people who build small business websites are not progammers of any sort, let alone Flash developers.
Currently the only way to obtain or test any SMP plugins is to build them from the source.
And the plug-in examples included in the SMP download package demo pages do not include the actual plug-in file making it impossible to actually complete the working demo.
So basically no plugins are currently available to the SMP target audience.
Please make working plug-ins available for download.
Along with some examples and/or documentation of how to use them.
The analytics and advertising plug-ins would be a good start.
Thanks.

Re: Does .f4m manifest work with Akamai HD network and strobe player
Hi Ken,
You wrote:
"The big gaping hole is demonstrating working plug-ins and documentation for those plug-ins."
For SMP, might including analytics plug-ins be a good start?
If you are looking for "demonstrating working plug-ins" the following two analytics plug-ins are accessible:
* GTrack Plug-in
http://www.realeyes.com/blog/2010/09/27/announcing-google-analytics-pl ug-in-for-osmf-the-gtrack-plug-in-2/
* TubeMogul InPlay Analytics
http://tubemogul.com/public/showPage/osmf_plugin
There also are plug-in samples in the OSMF project that perhaps could be suited to your effort.
fwiw, Although OSMF is **OPEN**, many current plug-in partners are not.
I have pursued an effort similar to what you currently are doing.
It is awesome that the partners are supporting OSMF, however as I contacted them responses such as "That document is for customers only" was very common.
btw, My reply is forking this thread.
If you respond to this response (regarding plug-ins in general), please open a new thread cross referencing this one.
I will see your reply either way.
btw #2, I would be interested in the link to the "demo website" you mentioned (if it is public).
hth,

(my god it is hard to simply quote another post in this "forum")
Thanks for the input Greg.
I had already saved the TubeMogul example as it has some good documentation.
The GTrack analytics plugin looks great.
And very good documentation.
But again, the file is not available.
Users must build it from the source.
This eliminates the majority of the potential users.
Regarding the demo website:
The demo website is not yet online.
I have added demos for the usual stuff - FLV, F4V, MP4, MOV.
And the latest streaming stuff - F4M, DVR, etc.
And M3U playlists.
Added the 3 Flash Access DRM examples found here in this forum.
Like to add SMIL demos when the plugin becomes available.
I have made demos for whatever is available from Adobe and Akamai (that I can find).
Which at this point includes no plug-ins whatsoever.
Will let you know when it is online.

Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?

Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?
Hello! Hallo!
I am working with CS4 on the Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I created some InDesign files with it a couple of weeks ago. When I want to open them now again, it shows me a long list of plug-ins that I supposedly have to activate first or I need to buy the newest CS as an alternative.1. How did this problem come off? 2. How can I activate the missing plug-ins?
Ich arbeite mit CS4 auf einem Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Habe damit vor einigen Wochen mehrere InDesign Dateien erstellt. Wenn ich sie jetzt wieder öffnen möchte, zeigt er mir eine lange Liste von Zusatzmodulen an, die ich angeblich aktivieren muss bzw als Alternative das aktuellste CS kaufen soll.
1. Wie ist das Problem zustande gekommen? 2. Wie kann ich die benötigten Zusatzmodule aktivieren?
Thank you all! Danke schön!

Actually, Indesign only says like "I can't open, because it was saved from a newer version" and does not list any extensions/plugins.
If you now make a new document, save it and open again - will it work?
Those plug-ins are usually enabled/disabled via the Adobe Extension Manager (Menü "Hilfe"->Erweiterungen verwalten).

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Adobe does offer a few Unicode fonts that support Hindi I'd expect that you'd be asking for Devanagari fonts, though. Have you ever done any Hindi typesetting? I mean, when we typeset English we don't do it in "English fonts" but in "Latin-script fonts."
There are two main classes of Devanagari fonts - the more common, older fonts where someone took a Latin-script font, erased the characters, and replaced them with Devanagari glyphs, versus contemporary Unicode fonts. The first class are wonky, hard to use, and quite common. If you're in-country you will find lots of ways to buy those kinds of fonts. You also can use them in InDesign without needing any scripts or plugins to turn on the World-Ready Composer. I find Unicode fonts to be much easier to use, to automatically compose according to proper rules regarding behavior of glyphs - but to use them in CS4, you'd need something like World Tools or IndicPlus. I'm a World Tools user myself but if you're going to be doing only Hindi work in CS4, I'd suggest that you look at IndicPlus first.
In short - it's deeper than it looks. If you want to tell us more about what you're trying to do, we might be able to give you better advice.

How do I upgrade the plug-ins in Adobe Indesign ??

Can someone tells me how to do that ? Because I get messages that the plug-ins has to be updated...

It looks like the plug-ins used for one or more of your InDesign documents is not compatible. For instance if someone created an InDesign document with a more recent version of a plug-in or plug-ins and/or used a more recent version of InDesign. My suggestion would be to post your question on the InDesign forum as they are more likely to have the answer as front he looks of your screenshot those may be regular plug-ins that come with InDesign but I do not know for sure.
Sorry,

Where else are Plug ins stored and throwing things away

Hello All,
Last year I had purchase Dot Pixels and i installed it in the Applications>AE>Plugins folder. I got an email to upgrade to the lates version. It warned to remove the old version before installing the new one, which I did. However, with the new version the computer did the installation. Unfortunately, its not working properly, its showing up as a trial version, so I would like to remove it, but its not in the Plug ins folder like the old one was, and when I "Search" for it nothing shows up. When I type in Dot Pixel in the Effects and Preset panel, its located in a folder named RowByte.
Where is it located so that I can trash it.
Since I cleaning tihs out and I love throwing away things to reclaim disk space, I noticed in my HD>Library>Application Support folder a Final Cut Pro and a Final Cut Pro System Support folder, I dont use Final Cut, don't intend to use Final Cut and I don't know where or how Final Cut got to be anywhere on my machine, is it ok that I trash them and any other applications that I do not use and have folders in there.?
Thank You in Advance
on a Mac os 10.6.8 using AE from the CS4 suite

There are plug-ins that get installed in the Library>Application Support> Adobe> Common> Plug-ins folder.
I wouldn't mess with the Final Cut folders. They contain things like apple codecs for ProRez and Apple Intrmediate. They are good for you....

Slow installation for indesign CS4 trial

I have downloaded the trial issue for indesign cs4 and try to install it on my PC, it is really slow, it is about 10 hours now and the install progression is only at "Adobe Output Module", it is about 25% of the total installation if I look at progress bar.
My computer is an Acer Aspire 7720, Intel core duo, cpu 2 GHz, RAM 3 Go and 250 Go of Hard drive.
I have followed the instruction to disabled the Antivirus program and Firewall too. So how to speed up this install, it is the first time I encountered that kind of problem.

User Access Control and Pain In The Arse.
There's something going on with the system if the profile check is taking two hours. How much free space is left on the hard drive?
Is there some sort of minimum-required configuration you can boot to, similar to running MSconfig in XP and turning off startup programs and non-Microsoft services? It really sounds like there is still something running in the background that is conflicting. You are certain that anti-virus is not running? I'd also be sure that no browser toolbars are loaded, nor any instant messenger or music programs, and have a local printer, rather than a network printer, set as the default and online.

" plug-in name does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari Security "Manage Website Settings"?

Hi,
Wondering why "<plug-in name> does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari > Security > "Manage Website Settings"?
Have been trying to get to the root cause of the problem but did not find much on this. I am trying to figure out what can get the warning to go away completely than using the Allow/Always Allow options for the plug-in
Thanks,
Shyam

Hi Linc,
Thank you for your response. Here is the screenshot of the warning that I am talking about.
Here is what I do:
1. Launch Safari and open its Preferences. I have Safari 7.1 installed on my machine.
2. Click Security Tab and click Manage WebSite Settings
3. A window opens showing me all the Plug-ins that I have (listed on the left hand side).
4. One of them is the Adobe Reader plug-in. When I click Adobe Reader, the following details about the plug-in show up on the right
I was referring to the highlighted section that warns me about this plug-in not using the highest level of security for Safari Plug-ins.
Note: I do not see this for all my plug-ins (QuickTime, Adobe Flash Player don't give me this warning) which tells me that there is a way to make the warning go away.
Thanks again,
Shyam

Cannot find "Plug-ins" folder for Photoshop CS6 on my Mac.

I cannot find ”Plug-ins" folder for Photoshop CS6 on my Mac. Path suppose to be Macintosh HD > Applications  > Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Plug-Ins but that folder is missing. Any suggestion on how to find it?

Thank you Hans,
If I understand it correctly, way to install extensions/plugins on Mac is
following
"Quit Photoshop, then copy the desired plug-ins (or extensions) to the
following locations:
Mac OS:
   - Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Plug-ins folder
   - Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder"
In my case it would be the last path, as I have CS6.
However, my problem is that Plug-ins folder is missing

Trying to load my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?

Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through? I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

that doesn't make sense. you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
double check your versions.
also, you might want to clean your computer before retrying to install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

There was a flurry of Malware that came through, and a lot of things got tightened up.
