InDesign does not recognize Digital Publishing.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in

When I try to open a specific file, or just launch the program, InDesign will open a few seconds, freeze, and then crash. The first few times, I got the message:
Startup Alert
Adobe InDesign does not recognize Digital Publishing.InDesignPlgin as a valid plug-in. Please reinstall the Digital Publishing.InDesignPlugin plug-in and restart InDesign.
Show this alert again? Y/N?
I've tried searching for what this plug-in is, or searching other forums for a similar problem. No luck. I tried uninstalling InDesign CC and reinstalling. No luck. I tried downloading and installing something called "AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch-CC-27.0.0.dmg." No luck.
Let me know if you know how I might fix this. Like I said, I am running InDesign CC on Mac OS X (version 10.8.4).

Hey Hank,
I tried both deleting my preferences the way you suggested, as well as doing another uninstall, and checking "Remove Preferences"... and neither worked. InDesign is still opening, freezing, and then crashing.
I even found the Digital Publishing plugin, and tried removing it from the Plugsin folder. That made the error message go away (which started reappearing after I reinstalled), but it didn't do anything related opening or creating a file.
Sigh.
Any other ideas?

Extension Manager CS5 does not show Digital Publishing extension...

... even though the extension is installed for InDesign CS5 and operating normally.
I've tried trashing the EM prefs file but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Have reinstalled extension several times.
Any insights are appreciated!

Digital Publishing extension has its own installer, it is not a ZXP or MXP extension. Extension Manager cannot manage it.
Extension Manager preference file only records the size and position of window, which product and extension are selected when exiting EM last time. It has nothing to do with displaying this extension or not.

IMac does not recognize digital video camera plugged into USB port

Hi Everyone,
I received a Kodak Zi8 digital video camera as a gift recently. I was told it was compatible with macs. When I plug the camera into the USB port of the mac it doesn't recognize that it is there. I read on one discussion board to turn the camera on and off if necessary. I have done so and it still doesn't recognize it. Does anyone have a solution they could recommend? Thanks in advance.

With the Zi8, you have to manually import the video into iMovie.
Launch iMovie. Go to File - Import Movies. Find your camera volume (it may be called KODAK or NONAME), navigate into the folder structure, find the DCIM folder and import the .mov files you find there.

Adobe Indesign does not recognize FONTEXPLORER X for indesign cc.pln as a valid plug-in.

I got this error after installing Indesign CC 64bit and font exploer x on Windows 8. After unistalling both apps a couple times then re-installing i loaded some additional
fonts via font explorer then activated them and started a document and the fonts where available despite the message below.
Just wondering if anyone has seen this type of an error before? So i selected no to show the message again.
And everything seems to be working font finder in IDCC shows the fonts are there as well with no errors.
Just wanted to know if this is normal in this version of Indesign where plugins are concerned.
I have run every version of Indesign and CS and never seen this issue before.

I did install the previous font x version 2.3 and then updated it to 2.6 i think it is. Because the previous version did not have indesign 3.5.1 (CC).
After the install the plugin option was there for CC 3.5.1
I will contact font explorer in the morning to find out more. This is a new laptop with fresh install of indesign CC and font manager.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers

DollyXs - Release version Does not recognize WriteFishPrice.pln

Hi,
I am trying to follow the Getting Started for Step 1: Use DollyXs to generate a dialog-based plug-in project
I have generated the win c++ files using DollyXs, however when I try to load the release version of WriteFishPrices in my Indesign 5.5 trial version, I get an error:
Adobe InDesign does not recognize WriteFishPrice.pln as a valid plug in. Please reinstall ...
I have built in Release mode, and copied the file to the plugins dir. following the instructions which I have copied below..
Copy the WriteFishPrice plug-in file to the Plug-Ins directory in the InDesign CS5 directory; then the
WriteFishPrice plug-in will be loaded when InDesign is launched.
NOTE: Do not install debug plug-ins to the Plug-Ins directory for the release build of InDesign, or vice versa;
if you do, your plug-in will fail to load.
Any idea what is going on here?

Yes you should copy the resource folder as well along with the plugin to the Plugins dir, but rather than copying the files manually you should use the project settings to place them in the correct location automatically. You should use the "Prelink event" of the build phases in Win and the output directory to get this done for you.
And regarding the menus, you can change the path of the menu by making change in the MenuDef resource in the .fr file of the plugin.
In WriteFishPrice plugin "kWFPPluginsMenuPath" macro defines the path of the menu, see what this points to and how you can alter it to get an understanding of the concpet.

Itunes on my Mac 10.4.11 does not recognize my iphone

itunes on my Mac 10.4.11 does not recognize my iphone 4S
also, once I plug in my iphone, it is recognized as a camera, but nothing to do with music.
if i have to upgrade software, how do i do that?

You get Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD if you have a PowerPC G4 or G5 Mac, or Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD if you have an Intel Mac. If you're using a G3 Mac, you need a newer computer.

My ipod touch 4 does not turn on, my PC does not recognize it when I plug it in, and gets hot.

I have an ipod touch 4 that won't turn on. When I plug it into my PC, my PC does not recognize the device. Finally, when I plug in my ipod touch to charge, my ipod ends up getting hot. Possible solutions please thank you!

Try the remaining items of the following. The hotness tends to say a hardware problem like maybe a bad battery.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IMac G5 with OSX 10.5.8 does not recognize my Western Digital external drive containing the majority of my music library. Is there any way to access that drive and recover the music stored there?

I have an iMac G5 with OSX 10.5.8 that does not recognize my Western Digital external drive. I had no problems with this until I upgraded to 10.5. Most of my music library is stored on the external drive. Is there any way to access it to recover the music?

How is it connected? Have you tried different port? How about logging in as a different user then trying to mount the drive.

Digital Editions does not recognize and authorize sony PRS-505

The problem is that it my first purchase a DRMed ebook at dieselbooks and I dowloaded digital editions and authorized it with no problems,
i downloaded the ebook and i was able to read it on digital editions. But the problem is that when i plug in the sony reader digital editions does not recognize it, so i cant authorize it and im unable to read the ebook on sony reader prs 505.
Since the ebook is DRMed i cant use another program to do it, i tried acrobat 8 with no solution.
Do you guys have an idea how to solve this problem?

Make sure you have installed and are running the latest Sony EBL software, the installation contains the needed drivers for ADE to talk to the 505. Note: if you are running on a Mac, ADE will not be able to talk to the 505 and you will have to use the Sony EBL 3.x instead.

I suddenly cannot email photos from iphoto. I get a box that says "server does not recognize username or password". I now have to use regular email and cannot re-size my photos.

Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail. The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password". I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that. Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send. But that does not allow me to re-size. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what? Please help.

The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
Have you tried to set "From" pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses? If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.

I recently moved and had to disconnect my WD My Pro Edition II 2TB external drive I had been using for backup.
Its been several months (many upgrades to the iMac software during this time), and now when I try to reconnect the external dire (Use a firewire cable) it does not recognize the drive is there. I also tried "reloading" software from the Western Digital site, but after following all the instructions, it looks like my iMac doesn't support this software (I can't even locate it after I follow all the instructions.
Thnaks, for anyones ideas on how I can get this working again.....

First of all, you do not really want to use their software; if you want a bootable clone, use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. If you simply want to drag and drop some files, you don't need software to do that. The important thing on any external drive is that you format/partition it correctly (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and using GUID partition scheme).
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about WD drives or their software, so I don't have any idea what kind of backup you did. Having said that, it should still recognize the external even if it's outdated. Have you tried mounting it manually in Disk Utility? If you can get it to mount, you could (worst case scenario) just drag your stuff off onto your internal and then reformat the external.

HP Pavilion Elite e9120y bios does not recognize any cd/dvd/bluray or hard disk drives

I erased my hard disk to install Windows 7. Now my computer intermittently does not recognize that there are any drives attached to the sata ports. I go into BIOS pressing F10 and it does not list any drives at all. I have a DVD burner and a bluray and a western digital 1TB hard drive connected. Sometimes they show that they are connected other times it doesn't. It's strange.
When it does recognize there are drives connected, I boot up from the Windows 7 DVD. Then I try to create a partition on the hard drive. The installation recognizes a 930GB hard drive with no partitions. Every time I try to create a partition, it says I need a driver for the hard drive. I have a driver that I downloaded off of HP's website yesterday, the driver for nvidia sata. I put it on my usb drive. It recognizes it but says it is the wrong driver. I don't know what else to do. I have built dozens of computer and repaired hundreds, but I have never run across a problem like this and I hope you can help me.

Thanks for your help, but that's exactly the driver I used. It didn't work.
My problem is not just with the hard drive. All three drives (two optical, one hard disk) should show up in bios, whether or not there is a disk in the optical drive or a partition on the hard drive. It intermittently stops detecting the drives. One time I boot and go into BIOS they are there, and I can run installation of Windows (partially). But if a turn off the computer and turn it back on, they've disappeared. Sometimes they will be detected, sometimes they won't.
I'm thinking the driver problem with the Windows 7 Professional x64 installation is somehow connected to the drives randomly not showing up. All drives stop showing up at the same time, not just the hard drive. So it's not a driver issue. It has to be connected to the BIOS and motherboard.
This computer is only 4 months out of warranty.
Any more help would be appreciated.

My iMac does not recognize or see an external drive.

Ref.: External USB M-DISC DVD+-RW CD RW Burner Writer Drive For Apple MacBook Air Pro iMac
made by YunSen Tech.
My iMac, Mac (27-inch, Late 2013), I bought in August 2014. Its SN is: C02MT0YWF8J4/OS X Yosemite. Version 10.10.1
Could you please help me with the installation of the reference external drive. Supplier gives instruction for Windows only. When I follow the window instruction on my iMac, the system does not recognize or see the drive. When I use Apple>About this Mac>System Reports>Hardware>USB, I think the following info describes the Drive, is it?:
External:
Product ID: 0x0840
Vendor ID: 0x13fd (Initio Corporation)
Version: 1.14
Serial Number: 313037383530384C31312020
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Generic
Location ID: 0x14500000 / 1
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 2
I would greatly appreciate some help.
Thank you in advance.

The problem is NOT the fact that it is a USB 3.0 drive, as USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The problem is specific to Toshiba Canvio portable drives. They only work if you use a micro-USB2 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable. This problem does NOT affect other USB 3.0 portable drives (Seagate, Western Digital, etc.), and they work fine with USB 3.0 cables.
Once again, you need a micro-USB2 cable for the Toshiba to mount.

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!
