How do I update plug-ins?

I received an InDesign CS5.5 file and it says I can't open it because I need plug-ins or latest version, but I have 5.5 (installed about two years ago, version 7.5) and it looks like all my Extension Manager plug-ins are checked. I can't find anywhere in Preferences to do auto plug-in updates. Help. I'm on a MacBook.

How do you know it's a CS5.5 file?
It's most likely a file from a newer version of InDesign, InDesign Cs6 or InDesign CC.
Go back to your source and ask them for a IDML file using File>Save As and also a PDF so that you can check text issues, like reflowing of text etc.

  • Updating plug-ins, about reaearching.

    I know virtually nothing about how to manage/update plug-ins, I have several that say 'research' But when I research, it's so complicated I just don't understand what to do next, Help....

    Firefox may pick up plugins that actually are not important to you, because Firefox picks them up from the Windows registry where external programs can freely list them. So... if you discover plugins with no known value, you might consider disabling them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    That probably will reduce your research burden.
    Generally speaking, if a plugin is associated with another program, then you can keep the plugin up-to-date by updating that program. Adobe Reader and iTunes would be examples of that.
    If there are plugins you're really curious about, you could post more information about those. On my test page, there is a list of your currently active plugins that you can copy and paste: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp

  • Get Plugin Finding Service Error for weeks & weeks now - can't update plug-ins, need download .pdf doc, but says adobe unstable, plug-in needs update. now what

    Want to download .pdf doc, but pop-up says it's unstable, need update plug-in. Tried to update, got error message, with "try later". Same for weeks now. Tried check for updates, Firefox is up to date, clicked update plug-ins... it tries, then again... same error message: "Plugin Finding Service Error. Please try again later".
    Been so long now -- when becomes a mighty big question. Looked in forum, no joy.
    Please, can someone tell me -- what's the go. I'm absolutely no good with computers, but this needs to get fixed. Should I stop using Firefox or what?
    Thanks for your help.
    Happy 2013 to all.
    PS. (added a couple days later)
    I'm told I should have added my next question in reply to TylerDowner here, instead of as I did. Sorry if that's so (really?) but I didn't even realize I could edit this.
    So... TylerDowner, thanks very much for your reply, and please would you -- or anyone else who might be able to help -- see my first reply to you below. (seems a waste to slot in here again)
    Feelin even dumber, (ha-ha)
    raaraa

    Tylerdowner -- >> thank you << for your reply, and my sincere apologies for this delayed response (probs, hospital, blah-blah, you don't want to know).
    Have tried to download via that link but not sure if successful. Very slow dial-up connection is the pits. Waited hours 'n hours, fell asleep in chair even, finally had to give in and go to bed, left it going. Server does time out every 8-12 hours, so not sure how long it went. The download appeared complete -- ie, did not show any note of failure. Not sure if it would -- some things in the past haven't.
    Anyway, had success downloading one much older .pdf file, but the link for one I wanted had expired, and I don't know anything else to try. Tried a couple of other links I have, not sure of age of file -- on clicking link, the browser opened, but nothing more happened.
    Wondering -- is the download available in separate pieces instead of one big one? Perhaps worth trying again that way?
    Please, if you would be forgiving, and persist with me a little further/longer -- would you make your recommendation/s for next step/s please?
    Hope you're in a safe, comfortable place. So many places in the world suffering with extremes of all kinds.

  • I have downloaded Adobe Reader into my MacBook Pro, now how do I activate Plug-Ins?

    I have downloaded Adobe Reader.  How do I activate Plug-Ins?

    I don't know what kind of plug-in I need to activate.  In fact I don't even know what a plug-in is.  All I know is that when I attempted to download some photos and a document, both from an outside source, a box appeared saying "missing plug-in."  I have used the the photo website many times before with no trouble.  The one clue I have is that the most recent attempt to download the photos said that I needed to update my Adobe Reader, which I did, but alas, to no avail.  Help!  Please!

  • Can't ck for updated plug-ins. Firefox just circles endlessly.

    can't access msn jigsaw puzzles. Wanted to check for updated plug-ins. Fox circles endlessly for up to 2 mins., never connects.

    The instructions are not contradictory, since you reported two different issues:
    ''AliceWyman [[#answer-688813|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Your '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin may be disabled in the Firefox Add-ons Manager Plugins list, since I don't see it in your list of plugins. <sub>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130896 Bug 1130896] - Plugin check gets stuck if Java runtime disabled and Java Deployment toolkit enabled.</sub>
    To enable the Java plugin, see the article, [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]] under [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-java-plugin-to-view-interactive-content#w_enabling-java Enabling Java]. That article also explains how to update Java, if your version is outdated.
    </blockquote>
    I wrote that because you said you ''can't access msn jigsaw puzzles'' but you didn't give a link to that problem website. I was assuming the problem site needs the '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin (which is DIFFERENT from the "java deployment toolkit" plugin) to be enabled and working. If the '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin is outdated and vulnerable you need to update it. The article I linked above has more information.
    ''philipp [[#answer-688807|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    hello donnaofmaryland, please try the following: go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > plugins, set the "java deployment toolkit" to never activate and then try to use the plugincheck page again...
    </blockquote>
    This advice was to get the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check] page working. Only thing, I just tried that page and it isn't working at all for me. The PluginCheck website could be having problems. You can also update Java by going to java.com directly or you can use the Update option in the Java Control Panel (details in the article [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]] which I linked to before).

  • How to launch photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom?

    Do Somebody know a way how to launch Adobe Photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom?
    Especially the case is interesting when there is only Lightroom and there is not an installed copy of Photoshop.
    There are some 3th party favorite Photoshop's plug-ins (some may be commercial)  which I would like to apply on picture into Lightroom. But Photoshop arent more used. And even arent installed. How is possible to use photoshop's plug-ins into Lightroom?

    Thank Misterretro! You are bet! This tool is indeed the answer on my needs.
    Jim, fortunately, you were wrong. As I can see now there is a way how to launch Photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom, (and also iPhoto, Aperture and etc). At last, the link above promises it, To say it exactly it needs to try.
    PS. As I can see, not all Photoshop plug-ins are supported. (But my favorite it should be hosted) This tool "LaunchBox" can integrate into Lightroom only 3th party filter (like AlienSkin, AutoFX, Topaz and etc..) plug-ins but not standard Photoshop filters because obviously what standard Photoshop filters arent plug-ins but these are a part of Photoshop binary code.

  • How do you remove plug-ins and cookies

    How can I remove plug-ins and cookies from my computer?

    The exact method of deleting cookies depends on which browser you are using.  But it will be in your preferences.
    Examples:
    Safari: Preferences --> Security
    Firefox: Preferences --> Privacy
    Plugin-ins is not a clear term.  Do you mean extensions or add-ons to your browser?  If so that depends on which browser you use to maintain plug-ins or add ons.
    Examples:
    Safari: Preferences --> Extensions
    Firefox: Add Ons menu
    Do you mean internet plugins like the Adobe Flash plugin?  Those can be found in two possible places:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins  (in your home directory)
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
