InDesign Plug ins or update?

I got a document today from a customer that i could not open. I have InDesign 5.0 and i think they have 5.5.
My computer says this:
Could not open document. Update plugin-programs or change to newest version of InDesign"
Missing plugins are:
FormField.IndesignPlugin
XML.IndesignPlugin
Generic Page Item.IndesignPlugin
Text.IndesignPlugin
Hyperlinks.IndesignPlugin
Document Framework.IndesignPlugin
Graphics.IndesignPlugin
Do i need to upgrade my InDesign-program or can i just get the plugins? If so, were do i go do download?

No, you will have to update. As a minor, download the CS5.5 trial and see, if it can open the file.

Where do I find inDesign plug-ins?

Trying to open a file someone sent me and a get the below message saying there is a plug-in missing... Where do I find the plug-ins?
Thanks, Jack

Hello jack,
best you will ask this "someone" about the missing plug-in. What concerns to get one or two, you could have a look at "Third-party plug-ins for InDesign" >>>

Debugging InDesign Plug-ins

Dear all,
When I attempt to debug my InDesign plug-ins in VStudio 2005, I get the following message:
"'Debugging information for 'InDesign.exe' cannot be found or does not match. No symbols loaded. Do you want to continue debugging?"
Is there any reason for this message to appear? Will it limit the debugging capabilities of VStudio?
Please advise.
Thanks,
m.

Hi m,
Your plugin is a DLL loaded by InDesign. Visual Studio will be able to identify your plugin, its variables, etc. but not so for InDesign itself, as it does not have a file that tells it about it.
So you will be able to see the source code, variables, etc. when your own code is running, but you will only see disassembled code and memory dumps when it jumps into InDesign itself.
This is natural. You would only have the symbols for InDesign if you worked at Adobe (or if Adobe kindly made them available to us - which it does not, according to my knowledge).

How do I update my InDesign plug-ins?

How do I update my plug-ins or my current version of InDesign CS4? I need to do this to open a document for my school newspaper. My computer won't open the document until I update the plug-ins or my version of InDesign. Will this cost money?

That document was likely created by a version of InDesign later than yours. CS4 is now 5 versions out of date.
Ask whoever sent it to you save it via IDML. Don’t count on a perfect conversion. Get a PDF as well.

How do I update InDesign plug-ins?

Hello,
I'm fairly new to InDesign and a complete novice regarding plug-ins. I'm trying to open someone else's InDesign file I was given, in InDesign CS4. I believe the file was also created in InDesign CS4, however it won't open. The message says:
Cannot Open File..... .indd. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
And lists about 20 or more plug-ins.
Can anyone please guide me on how to resolve this? Simple, clear steps would be greatly appreciated as I'm not very techy.
Muchos gracias!

Thanks heaps for your reply. You may be right that it's a CS5/5/5 file, which is what I'd guessed, but I'm a little curious because when I look at the file in column view on my Mac, in the little Preview window it says: Kind: InDesignCS4 Document. Is this possibly incorrect? Perhaps because my computer won't recognize anything beyond CS4 being that's what it has installed?

Indesign Plug-ins How to upgrade and install?

I have CS 5.5 Master Collection for a year now, and now that I am ready to use InDesign for the first time I can't open my files. I get a message that tells me to "upgrade your plug-ins, or get the latest InDesign version".
I'm not ready to shell out more money. Does anyone know where to find the said updates, and how to install them?
thanks!

@SilverCarMan – it's very unlikely that the supposed CS4 file is really a CS4 file.
You could check which version the file is you are trying to open.

Missing InDesign plug-ins after installing on new machine running WIN 7

After installing Adobe InDesign CS3 (version 5.0) on a new computer running Windows 7 Professional, InDesign cannot open a file I created 30 days ago on a machine running the same version of InDesign and Windows XP Professional. I repeat, there have been no changes in InDesign versions !!
The error message indicates a boat load of plug-ins are missing. The first error message indicates WORLDREADY.RPLN and CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN were missing. After clicking OK, the second error message indicates these plug-ins are missing: ASSIGNMENTS.RPLN, TEXT.RPLN, SPREAD.RPLN, MASTERPAGE.RPLN, IMAGE.RPLN, TEXTATTRIBUTES.RPLN, GENERICPAGEITEM.RPLN, TEXTWRAP.RPLN, CJKTEXTATTRIBUTES.RPLN, SCRIPTING.RPLN, LINKS.RPLN, INCOPYSHARED.RPLN, XLM.RPLN, CJKGRID.RPLN, TOC.RPLN, INDEXING.RPLN, HPERLINKS.RPLN, PACKAGEANDPREFLIGHT.RPLN, WORKGROUP.RPLN, APPFRAMEWORK.RPLN, and DOCUMENTFRAMEWORK.RPLN.
From the Help menu within InDesign, I click Updates. A series of updates for all my Adobe software were installed, bringing inDesign CS3 to version 5.0.4 yet
InDesign still refuses to open my previously created file.
The only other suggestion your help files suggest is upgrading my inDesign software to CS5 to which my company will not agree.
HELP !!!!

The file properties are shown in the attached screen shot indicating InDesign CS3 was used not CS4 or CS5. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

IDCS file wont open with CS2. says "plug-ins arent updated?!"

so, i recently installed CS2 on my computer, and when i try to open a particular file that was made with CS, i get an error message that says:
"the document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. do you want to open anyway?"
it also lists:
LILO.indesignPlugin
CellStyles.rpln.indesignplugin
if i say yes, open anyway, it says it cant. and it doesnt.
booooo.
how can i fix this?
-a

It was probably created in CS3. One of the features used in CS3 is cell styles (surprise!)
Have the person who created the file export an INX (InDesign Interchange file). You can open it if you have the latest version of CS2. (However, the cell styles won't be cell styles anymore.)

Unable to play games requiring plug-ins since update 3.6.6.it tells me i"need to install plug-in before playing" but they are installed

i can no longer use firefox as before update to 3.6.6...java takes forever,.. and if i try to play almost any game(even online games) i get message from firefox telling me i must install "plug-in"to be able to play. but,.i already have the correct plug-ins installed! i had NO problems at all until now!! help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after last firefox update..3.6.6

Go to the site, click on a Help or Support link (sometimes at the bottom of the main page), click around until you find something like "system requirements" to see what is necessary for that site. THINK!!!
If you are trying to play Flash-based games, you do not even have Flash installed; look in Addons>Plugins in FF for Shockwave Flash.
You have what most would consider spyware/adware installed; "My Web Search" in Plugins. Google it, read about it and how to get rid of it.

CS6 InDesign plug-ins not loading when launching

I just purchased CS6 Standard. when launching InDesign, the adobe plug-ins are not loading causing error messages. I have re-installed twice, but get the same error messages. At the end of several error messages, I get
'Cannot open resourse file." Can anyone help me?

I'm a little confused with what you write. There is a difference between extensions and Plug-ins. Plug-ins are installed using the plug-ins installer and extensions are installed by "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" where version is the Photoshop version and the extension package must be created for that particular Photoshop version. A CS5 package will not work in CS6 etc. Installed extensions will be listed in Photoshop under menu Windows>Extensions>List of them. Plug-in may install in the Filters menu or a place like menu File>Automate>Names. Installed Extensions that you installed should also show in the "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" window. Adobe installed extensions like Kuler and Mini Bridge do not show in the "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" window.

Indesign plug ins

That error is typical of trying to open a file created in a later version. What version are you using?

Problems with InDesign Plug-ins in CS6

Every time I launch InDesign CS6 a bunch of pop-up boxes appears. They all have to do with some plug-ins it cannot register. I think this causes the sudden shut down of the program when I want to pick a different color.?
Anybody knows how to fix this?
These are the plug-ins it concerns:
Color Picker Panel plug-in
Swatches Panel plug-in
Transparency UI plug-in
Find and Change Panel plug-in
I am certain that the plug-ins are in the right folders, however it does not work...
Thanx

See Replace Your Preferences and if that doesn't do it, see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup for a list of other things to delete from the original account.
When all else fails, rename the Adobe folders in your user library (remmber, there are TWO folders, anf they're hidden, so see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion) and copy the ones from the guest account.

Cannot viewe plug ins and update status on 35.0.1 just a spinning wheel

I was fine yesterday. today, trying to check plug in status, update page on 35.0.1 and I just get a spinning wheel. Just need to know if it is a problem with FF and the newest update or me. Cannot find help anywhere. I see where folks have had 32 and 35 same problem. thank you

Please try and check directly using Adobe's site if you have problems with https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ { It is working ok for me right now.)
There are or have been known issues with Mozilla servers recently[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/711040?last=63882#post-63882.] I guess highly publicised issues requiring FlashPlayers updates have increased loads.

Check your Flashplayer is up to date by visiting '''''http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/''''' separately with each browser.

You will be able to get round the block simply by allowing the plugin Shockwave to activate, but if you see that block it is because you need to update for security reasons.
