InDesign 4 missing plug-in Mac user

Some (not all) of my files cannot be openned. The error message is:
Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing"
I have never changed the plug-ins. These file where created on my own computer (s) I have two a desktop and a laptop both running system 10.7.3 on Mac.
Thanks for your help.

Install and run the script in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
and you can verify the version those files were saved in.

InDesign Reinstallation Missing Plug-ins

Hi, all,
Apple recently replaced the hard drive in my MacBook Pro.
I reinstalled all my Adobe CS2 Creative Suite Software
(from disks) and now can open none of the CS2 InDesign files
I created prior to the hard drive replacement because of various
missing plug-ins. The InDesign error message lists missing
LILO.InDesignplugin and CellStyles.rpin.InDesignplugin
as the culprits.
Adobe told me this is due to a faulty reinstallation. So I de-installed
and then reinstalled the whole creative suite. The problem persists.
Apple says it's Adobe's fault, not theirs. Adobe now says they can't
support me because they only offer support for CS3 and CS4.
They've referred me to the collective wisdom of the forum.
Can anyone help? Do I need to configure some plug-ins? Import
some plug-ins? Where do they come from?
Thanks.

Hmm. I created all the files using my own software on my own laptop. If they were created in an updated version of CS2 would this error occur? I tried updating CS2 but that hasn't helped either, problem remains. I did install a trial copy of CS4 I downloaded and can open the files there...but I'll have to buy it.

Indesign CS6 Missing Plug-ins

When I launch Indesign it states
"Cannot load JPEG Export UI.IndesignPlugin because it requires JPEG Export Filter. Please install the JPEG Exporter Filter plug-in and restart Indesign."
I click "ok", then another pop-up states
"Cannot load Layout Adjustment Panel.IndesignPlugin because it requires Layout Adjustment. Please install the Layout Adjustment plug-in and restart Indesign."
I've had Indesign installed on my iMac for a couple of years; haven't used it much, but I don't recall it ever doing this before. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?
Thank you

That means that something in the user account is screwed up.
Go back to the first account and start by trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences . You're also going to need to see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later to find the two folders that hold the prefs files.
If just trashing the prefs doesn't clear it up, that means that more than just the two files are messed up. The good news is you can replace the entire two folders and it should work. Go back to the original account and rename the two folders (do this first so the entire folders will be replaced, not just the files inside them), then copy the folders from the new user.

HI - new mac user. When trying to view clips on certain sites i receive the following text: "missing plug in" can anyone assist?

HI - new mac user here
When trying to view certain sites i receive the following text: "missing plug in" can anyone assist?
I think it is related to viewing video or clips.....

Well, if you're using Chrome, or Firefox go here this should also work with Safari. It will let you know if Flash is already installed in your browser. If your using Chrome it should have been intergrated. Were you able to get Flash installed so you can view video clips? Post back to let us know. Hope this helps. Also install Perian. See if that helps as well.

Missing Plug-ins - Package And Preflight.APLN from InDesign Document

If a user creates a file in InDesign CC and then tries to open it in InCopy CS6 they get the following error.
Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File
PACKAGE AND PREFLIGHT.APLN
The Doument "filename.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?
This happens whether the copy of InCopy is on the same PC as InDesign or a seperate PC without InDesign. InCopy is installed seperately from the CC.
Clicking OK opens the file normally.
We have checked that both versions of the software match at v8.0.2.
I've heard it might be due to embedding of this file but the designers say they are not yet at the stage of packaging this file when they get this error so nothing should be embedded.
Can anyone help?
Simon

Hi, Thanks for pointing out the error.
I have checked back with our designer and found out that they are using InDesign CS6 and not CC. (I was confused as they used CC to install it rather than our seperate deployment tool).
The problem however remains the same.

Missing plug-ins help? CS5 Adobe InDesign

I'm trying to open an .indd file on an InDesign training cd and it says missing plug-ins conditional text.rpln, worldready.rpln, and dynamicdocument.rpln. (I think the version of InDesign I have may be a trial version). Where can I get these or what can I do???? I'm running Mac 10.6.7. Thanks

What you have is a version mismatch. ThAT's the kind of message you receive when trying to open a file saved in a newer version than the one you are using.
On window, go the help menu and press the Ctrl key while selecting About InDesign. On Mac it's under the InDesign menu, and you need to hold the Cmd key. This will open a detailed "about" dialog with the full version and build inthe upper left corner. What is it? What version is th training disk labeled for?

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).

Unable to play Yahoo Games (Missing Plug-in) w/ Mac Book Air

Just purchased this MacBook Air...first time Mac user, and I'm unable to play yahoo spades on it. I've tried downloading Google Chrome but it still says "Missing Plug In"
I've been playing Yahoo spades since '03 so I'm pretty attached to it....would love to know how to get this to work...thank you
And I love the Air by the way so far!!

Yahoo games use internet plug-ins such as adobe flash and java. They do not come preinstalled with your mac and you have to install them manually.
I'm assuming you are using OS X Lion. Here are the download resources:
For Java:

For the latest adobe flash:

Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape.
We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode. Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time.
Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in. There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox. You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
    Launch RealPlayer
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
    Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
    Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
    Click OK

Yep. I installed Lion this morning. Open Mail. All is good. Went to video on the Apple's homepage and my whole computer froze up. I couldn't even shut down the computer properly. I just had to shut it off and restart. :|
Although, no "missing plug in" prompts were coming up for me. Just a frozen (brand new) iMac.

Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store. Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays. You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor. If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected. I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

"Missing Plug ins" in InDesign CS6

Hi,
lately, I've got installed CS6 Standard on a Windows XP machine, German version. There were CS2 and CS4 formerly on this workstation. The admin deleted the CS2 before installing cs6.
Now, every part of CS6 is up and running - except for InDesign CS6.
Upon launching InDesign CS6, I keep getting error messages saying, among others:
"Adobe InDesign erkennt [plug-in name here] nicht als gültiges Zusatzmodul. Installieren Sie das Zusatzmodul [plug-in name here] neu, und starten Sie InDesign erneut. Diese Meldung wieder anzeigen? (JA) (NEIN)".
and/or:
"Zum Laden von [another plug-in name here] is JBX erforderlich. Installieren Sie das Zusatzmodul JBX und starten Sie InDesign erneut. Diese Meldung wieder anzeigen? (JA) (NEIN)".
The first message appears several times along with diverse plug-in names ( ssignment UI, InCopy Bridge UI, InCopyExport, InCopyImport…). The other one concerns only this "JBX", if I remember correctly.
After all the message are clicked away (it does not matter if I click on JA or NEIN), InDesign CS6 launches in a crippled form, with no palettes, with reduced menus, and it is crashing upon trying to choose the "Preferences".
The Prefs were already deleted with the appropriate keyboard shortcut.
What's the issue and how do I get InDesign CS6 to work?

First of all you should know which Plugin is missing. Then you have to buy it for CS6 and install it properly with the Extension Manager.
This is not the issue, I think. There was never a 3rd part extension installed along with former ID CS version. So I don't think we'd had to buy any.
I suppose the Adminstrator has copied the plugin from an older version to the newer version and the plugin seems not be compatible.
No, he didn't. AFAIK, he's just installed and registered the CS6 according to Adobe's instructions.
Another thing is obvious that a second plugin is missing which is used by the other plugin. This might be also a third party pi or a default is missing.
Yes, this is all fine, but again: there was never an extra plug in for ID CS 6 installed on the system. Every version was always installed simply "as it is", because we don't need external plug ins to work with.
Another thing: It is good to keep older versions installed on the computer for a while when a new version is installed. When all documents have been migrated you can delete (uninstall) the old version. Not before. So it was not a good idea from the administrator to delete the older version.
You have possibly misunderstood me. Your hint to keep the previous version is highly appreciated; this is, actually, the way we'we been processing with every major software update for years, as well as this time. Only the whole CS2 was deleted, since it was succesfully preventing (on three different Windows workstations) the CS6 installer to do it's job. CS4 is still installed and working.
The missing plug in issue doesn't exist au dem MacBook Pro, by the way, which was also upgraded from CS4 to CS6. Maybe because I am actually the "admin" of it

Suddenly getting "Missing Plug-Ins" errors when opening .indd files in InDesign CS2

I have a PC running Windows 7 and InDesign CS2. The laptop's installation of Windows was corrupted and I had to re-install the OS. I backed up all files, reinstalled the OS, and then reinstalled applications. One of those applications was InDesign CS2. However, after the installation of CS2 on the fresh copy of Windows, I noticed that I have trouble opening most, but not all, of the InDesign files on my hard drive.
When I try to open a .indd file I see an error message pop up that says "Missing Plug-ins. LILO.APLN, DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN, CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN" and three more. Under that list of missing plugins is the warning "This document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?" If I click "okay" I then am met with another dialog box that says "Cannot open file. TEXT.RPLN, LAYER.RPLN" and on and on for about 60 more items.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I've searched around concerning this issue and it appears the consensus is that the file was opened by a newer version of InDesign. That possibility is, in fact, an impossibility. Never have I used a newer version of InDesign. The files that I am working on were backed up, stored on local storage and not touched once before reinstalling the OS and reinstalling InDesign CS2.
I also noticed that not all InDesign file formats were associated with InDesign in "Windows Programs and Defaults." I changed those to look to InDesign. I've also uninstalled InDesign CS2 and re-installed.
Not all InDesign CS2 files are exhibiting this behavior. So far, it appears more than half are, but some can be opened with no problems. There seems to be no correlation between which ones are able to be opened and which ones can't be opened.
What could have happened to these files and is there any possibility of opened them again? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Conditional Text was a new feature in CS4. I'm thinking, can you explain how your old CS2 documents became aware of it?
Not exactly sure myself. Abiogenesis?
[Edit]
Almost forgot. I wrote a script to unequivocally determine the InDesign version a document was last saved as:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
I'll give that a try today. Even an affirmative judgement that the files are newer than CS2 would not impress me however. The fact remains, the files were copied off one hard drive over to another, the plug was pulled on the hard drive, the PC was re-imaged, CS2 was reinstalled, the files were copied back over... and whammo.

When I try to play videos on Apple's website, "missing plug-ins" appears. The same happens when I try to play Apple trailers. Other "users" on the same iMac don't have this problem.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Your solution worked straight away. I've been battling with this for weeks'
Thank you again. :-))
