Mail 5.1 missing plug in with iPhoto

I just received an iPhoto generated message but instead of showing the pictures Mail 5.1 displays Missing Plug-in. I have a 27" Imac, early 2010, just installed OS X Lion and the JAVA for OS X Lion.
What other plug in am I supposed to install for Mail to open the iPhoto pictures?

Mail 6.6 missing plug-in for PDF view, can't save to RTFD file

Hi,
I see there are some similar queries about this, but no definitive answer. I can't seem to save to RTFD file format, and my sent mail indicates a missing plug-in for where the PDF attachment should be.
I did mess around with the Mail Library a bit to transfer across my mail database from an older machine. Something which did not go smoothly at all.
Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks.

Replacing missing Plug In with other

When I load any of my older projects that used Mercalli, I get Video Filter Missing messages for PR.prodad.Steady-Ready-Video (which is expected). Once I am in the project and look at a clip that used Mercalli I see Offline (filter unavailable) where Mercalli was. Is there some way for me to have it automatically load a different plug in for those that used to use the Prodad Mercalli plugin, or do I have to manually go in and delete the offline filter and then add the new mercalli plug in once that becomes available (Mercalli V2 for CS5 should be out before the end of June).
basically once I get Mercalli V2 for CS5, whats the easiest way to get an old project using the new CS5 plugin for each clip rather than showing the offline filter message in the effects controls.
-Roger

I understand that this is an old thread, but I am having the exact same problem. I am trying to import a Premiere CS4 project from another computer. I have already set my folders etc exactly as they were on the other system. I currently have Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and Mercalli V2. I get Video Filter Missing messages for PR.prodad.Steady-Ready-Video. I can't just remove the reference and start over because the project was edited by another individual and I don't have time or know-how to re-apply stabilization to the long series of video clips.
Any guidance?
Thanks.

Apple website won't play videos "Missing plug-in"

This seems really wierd, no videos on apples website will play.
I just get the message "Missing Plug-In" with an arrow but i cant click on it.
All other websites play videos no problem. Doesnt seem to have anything to do with Mavericks because it was doing it even before i updated.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Check out this thread > Can't play videos/tutorials on Apple...: Apple Support Communities

Why when resending emails on an iMac in Mail do I (and hundreds of others like me) get 'Missing plug-in' instead of the attachments being sent with the document?

It is high time that Apple solved the annoying issue regarding 'Missing Plug-ins' when resending emails with images embedded in them. It is infuriating to see so many users with similar problems and Apple NOT providing a 'fix' in some kind of software update! Why is it proving to be so difficult for this to be resolved by Apple, so that users do not have to rely on chat rooms for other users to try and fix the problem for themselves?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

Mail: photos won't display, only "missing plug-in" message

My wife's old G4 PowerMac running OS X10.5.8 recently stopped displaying photos in Mail. Instead, all that displays is message "Missing Plug-in" and the photo number or caption. This happens with all incoming e-mails, as well as outgoing e-mails generated from iPhoto, or just standard e-mails composed in Mail with an attached photo. The photo is there when she clicks on "Quick Look" but not in the field of the message. HTML images in ads display fine...only individual photo attachments are missing. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Neville.
I have the same problem with the "missing plug-in" message...but everytime I close out and try a second time the photos appear.
Is the path "applications" "utilities" "java"...if so I don't see "Java" in utilities, even though I was prompted to do a recent "java update" and did so?
Wondering where my "Java Preferences" file would be since I don't any file for "Java" in "utilities".
Any help/advice would be much appreciated!

Mail & Missing Plug-in /Java/

I'm using MAIL Version 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3) and I have a situation. I would send digital poscards from iPhoto to my email and when I recieve it Mail wouldn't let me see it. It says "Missing Plug-in" but I have installed a proper plug-in - Java for Lion. This is brand new computer with latest software installed and I have already issue? How come? Is there any solution for that?
Thanks very much for your help

I just tried another scenario.
On my Imac, I have two user accounts, mine and one for my daughter.
1. If my daughter send me an email from her account and her Iphoto using iphoto template, I receive her email on my accouint perfectly. I have not the message "plug-in missing".
2. On the other hand, if I send an email from my account and my Iphoto using iphoto template to my daughter, she receives my email on her account with the message "plug-in missing".
It seems the probleme comes from either my iphoto or my domain an dnot from my mail application. But no idea to fix it.

Apple Mail: missing plug-in

I keep getting "missing plug-in" messages from Apple Mail in emails that contain actually JPEGs or other common attachments. I don't know when this exactly started (could be installation of 10.8.3 update or a security update). This "feature" occurs only on my Mac Pro. On my Macbook Pro all works fine with the same configuration.
Faulty system: Mac Pro Early 2008, Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.3, latest Apple Mail.
Working system: MacBook Pro 15" Retina Mid 2012, Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.3, latest Apple Mail.
I scanned this forum and the usual Google hits for help. I tried the following already:
repaired permissions, checked disk
all system & software updates done
Java preferences "restored to default", Java preferences deleted
repaired mailboxes
applied combo 10.8.3 updater
applied iTunes 10.2 combo installer
checked all configurations, nothing unusual.
sent an email with photo attachment via iPhoto
danced in circles @ midnight & full moon
Nothing worked so far. Any useful idea. This keeps annoying me!
Kind Regards
Frank

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Mail viewer won't display attached photos, "Missing Plug-in"

This is a brand new issue for me, after years and years of using Mail. Today I sent an email to a friend, and attached a jpg (exported from iPhoto). When I looked at that sent email in Sent folder, there's message "Missing Plug-in" in place of the image. Last time I sent an image was about a week ago, it worked correctly at that time. I'm very sure I haven't changed any Mail settings in the interim. Is this just a problem with the viewer, or a problem with Mail itself?

I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail. None of them worked. I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email. I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app. HELP!!

"Missing Plug-in" instead of image in incoming mail

Recently, some mail has arrived with gray text reading "Missing Plug-in" where the image should be. The attachment size shows next to the paper clip, and I can use the Save button to save the image, and view it with Preview.
But when I try to cut and paste the saved image into an outgoing message, the same gray text appears instead.
Not all incoming mail behaves this way. I have not yet been able to determine if this is unique to a single sender.

Greetings All,
I've recently noticed the "Missing Plug-in" phenomenon too in Apple Mail (Version 3.6 (936)). I've tried resetting Java preferences by clicking the "Restore Defaults" button, but there's no change. Since I'm running Leopard 10.5.8 I didn't download the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2 at http://support.apple.com/downloads/. Is it okay to load this update if I'm running OS X 10.5.8? If so, I'll give it a try, but I don't want to attempt a fix if it's going to cause more problems.
I also went into Safari (Version 5.0.4 (5533.20.27)), into Preferences/Advanced and checked the Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar. I then went into Develop but found no Enable Extensions option. So that was a dead end.
I've checked my system for updates and everything seems to be up to date. However, I suspect that this just may be part of the problem. Sometimes things get fluky when updates occur. Strange how that is.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Mail has missing plug-in

In Safari 5.1 I removed the PDF from Quicktime Plug-In. Now I am getting a message Mail that I am missing a plug-in when I attach a PDF file to an outgoing email. Yet the PDF file does go out with the sent email.
Any clues? Have I somehow removed a plug-in for mail? Where do the Mail plug-ins live?
Thanks,
Tom Nelson

"Missing Plug-in" ... just in Mail?

Hi all
Most odd .... just this week I was using Mail to send an mp3 attachment (having been set up in OSX5.8 for over a year) and the position in the page that usually shows the mp3 .... now showss a dialogue that says "Missing Plug-in" ...... and exactly the same thing happens when I receive emails with attachments.(ie. the same behaviour with QT movie or pdf etc)
I re-installed Adobe plugins and Flash ........ Firefox works fine displaying any of the above in the BBC iPlayer etc ....... just Mail says "missing Plug in"?
Does anyone else recognise this?
Amy thoughts much appreciated.
Best wishes

This problem on a Macbook 2.1 Ghz Core 2 duo 2 gb ram OSX 5.8

Thanks for that BDA ..... how extraordinary? In fact I've just updated Java and although still using OSX 5.8 on this Macbook .... the symptoms are absolutely identical. ie The resulting emails all look fine to the recipients and it's only in your own Mail app that things look odd. i wonder if the move up to Snow Leopard for some coincided with this juxtaposition of happenings with Java?! I'll give the Java defaults a go and report back.
Thanks again

Missing plug in in mail program

My mail program doesn't open video. It says "missing plugin" any ideas?

Hello everyone,
Having the same problem with my mail app (6.2 on ML 10.8.2). Most jpg images do not show in-line but only in the quick-view. I only see "missing plug-in" in the message.
I have rebuilt mailboxes and removed java preferences files as some had successfully suggested. Unfortunately, none of these did the trick for me. Any more ideas?.

Mail missing plug-in after update to 10.6.6

Since I updated to OSX 10.6.6 Mail shows 'missing plug-in' when I create an outgoing message with an attachment. I have also been prompted for passwords when sending email. Is there a fix?

For me, I am unable to log into my account if my Mac is authenticating against my Active Directory domain controller. If I am quick, and I can enter my password as soon as the prompt comes up, before the Mac has talked to the DC, it will let me log in. If not, I need to log in as the local admin account, disable my wifi connection, log out and log into my account and re-enable the wifi.
Doing this will get me logged in, but if I do anything that requires further authentication (installing apps, su in terminal etc), the authentication will fail unless I disable the wifi first. Quite a PITA, to say the least!
It seems that once I am logged in, I am able to connect to shares on the server, but running apps that access files on the shares, they seem to lock up frequently.
Is there a way to report this bug directly to Apple? Or do we just have to hope that they see this thread and fix it?
Pete
