Missing Plug-ins...personal file has not changed hands or versions

Of course... almost done with my internship and guess what happens - my file wont open in InDesign. Missing plugins? OK! Haven't had a problem opening my file for 3 months.
I have only opened my file on my personal computer and have only made changes on my computer as well. Now all of a sudden, the file won't open. The ONLY time the file has moved is when I took it in to get a test print done and the person working took the file off of my external hard drive and put it on his desktop - he copied and pasted it (im assuming). I have read in other forums that there may be a problem from going to cs3 to cs5 and I understand that but that's not whats happening in my case. PLEASE HELP!
this is the first promt that pops up
...and this is the second.
i have successfully opened up other InDesign files that are on my harddrive with no problems.

idml is the file format that you use to go between versions of InDesign (from CS5 on anyway).
Once you have opened that file in 5.5 and exported to idml you will be able to open it in CS5 and save it as a CS5 document, it will be back to normal. Bear in mind that some text may reflow and there is a slight chance that something might go slightly screwy.
Once you've done that (assuming you do get a trial of CS5.5) uninstall it straight away to avoid doing this again!

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.

Newly created InDesign 5.5 file missing plug-ins, can't open now

How can I open an InDesign 5.5 file that says it's missing plug ins and won't open, when I just opened and created the file last week?

When I try to open a CS6 file in CS5.5, I get the error message:
The way to generate this other message:
is to try to open something that InDesign can't open. This is sometimes an InDesign file that is corrupt. Once I found poorly configured backup software keeping files open. In other cases I've had clients hand off files that were supposed to be InDesign files but turned out to be renamed zipfiles or PDF files or Word files (all of which fall under the "may not support the file format" statement above). You've already ruled out it being open elsewhere by searching for .idlk files, and you've ruled out plugin issues already (by not having a CS6 file generate the new "because it was saved with a newer version" message, and chances that you've installed some kind of plugin that ), so it almost has to be a file that is broken or misnamed in some way.

Illustrator 6 missing plug-ins, won't open new files

I was initially getting an error message when attempting to open Illustrator 6 on my Mac (running 10.6.8). An unknown error has occurred (4294967253). Adobe Illustrator will now quit. I read a post where the user was to select shift+option+command right after booting up. When I did that, a dialog box popped up asking if I'd like to participate in submitting feedback to Adobe and asked for my profession, location, industry, etc. It then attempted to open a new file but gave the following error: The document 'Print.ai' contains elements that are managed by plug-ins that are not currently available. You can delete or expand these elements but you cannot manipulate them in other ways. The missing plug-ins are listed below. Stroke Offset Live Effect (StrokeOffset.aip). I can open an existing file, but no tools are available to edit with and I get additional errors regarding missing plug-ins. My Mac has also been running a bit slow lately as well...not sure if the two issues are connected, but I'm willing to try anything to meet an impending deadline. I have plenty of space remaining on my computer, so that can't be it.

The exact same thing just happened to me.
Then comes another error message ( see below ).
& it doesn't like it when I replace the image (which is a TIFF by the way).

Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine.

I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine.

I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

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!!

InDesign file won't open, missing plug-ins

Anyone ever seen this error message when trying to open an Adobe InDesign file?
Missing plug-ins:
worldready.rpln
dynamicdocuments.rpln
conditionaltext.rpln
sharedcontent.rpln
I am using a PC with CS6, but also tried another PC with CS3. Same issue with various backups of the files.
The files seem to all be older than 2012, and appear to not have a program associated with them (appear as white icons, not typical color) even though they say InDesign, INDD file when you mouse over them.
Thanks in advance.

I keep getting a warning stating that the document could not be auto saved in pages. The file has been changed by another application. Then it says click save any way to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes to a version.
What in the heck does all that mean, and why are they trying to behave like a Windows product or a Microsoft office product. I just don't get it.
Why is another application changing my documents? It's like they've created a virus within their own programs. It's a pain in the neck and makes no sense.

I am also having the issue of a warning saying "could not be auto-saved in Pages. The file has been changed in another application. I then hit "save anyway", the warning will go away for a time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hourr, but then the warming reapprears saying the same thing. This is not the case with all Pages documents but it is the case with many.

Xcode 6.1 Not able to open, missing plug-ins?

Hello,
I have download and reinstalled Xcode 6.1 for about the 5th time and restarted my computer and i keep getting a error saying that Xcode is missing plug ins which is not even allowing me to open Xcode at all. It is telling me to reinstall Xcode and i have and I'm just lost please help!

To find out where th problem is, either Xcode or something in your environment, you should try to run Xcode as a different user.
The guest account is ideal for this as your are sure you will get a clean environment. You could also make a new user account and try running from there. If Xcode starts then the problem is something in your original user environment. If Xcode fails to stsrt with the new account then there is a system wide problem.
BTW is your account an admin account or a regular account?
regards

Videos will not play on apple website error message says missing plug ins

When I press play on one of the videos on the APPLE website I see a message that says missing plug ins. Can you help me with this issue?

Hi
This has just happened to me, did you find a solution?
Thanks

Adobe flash player will not install. When asked to install missing plug ins, nothing comes up.

I go to install adobe flash player and nothing comes up. Firefox says I need to install missing plug ins, but when I go to install the missing plug ins, nothing comes up. Says something about doing it manually. I don't know what that is.

You can download the manual installers and run them to install Flash. Details are shown in the Adobe troubleshooting guide - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

Missing Plug ins for 1channel videos

Since I upgraded my mac to mountain lion, I cannot watch movies on 1channel. I get the error Missing plug ins, and cannot seem to download or find the plug in on the website. I believe its DIVix?
I had no problems prior to my upgrade.
Any tips?
thanks!

You probably need the following:
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

Unable to open documents because of missing plug ins

I am unable to open documents in CS3 (version 5.04)
I am getting a message:"Missing Plug Ins: Conditional Text.InDesignPlugIn, WorldReady.InDesignPlugin.
The document "xxxxx.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"
If I click on OK I get another window, stating "Cannot Open File", a list of all kind of missing Plugins and the message "Cannot open "xxxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
I don't want to switch to CS4 and as far as I know version 5.04 of CS3 is the latest.
Any ideas of what I could do to get the latest PlugINs or anything else that would help?
Thank you!
Anne

Probably, but it's 100% not necessary when going from CS4 to CS3. It might be a case of 'half read, then half-understood'.
As this is a really frequent question and there are still no sticky posts: anyone up for a "feature request" that makes InDesign check the version number before opening? (Of course that wouldn't work backwards to CS3. Still, it'd avoid these kind of posts when CS6 comes out. Note: not CS5, because that would have no problems opening CS4, but CS4 would have problems with Cs5! Oh, for planning ahead ... )

Mail missing plug-ins

OK, strange one here. I have several clients (Lion and Mountain Lion) that get the Missing Plug-ins in certain emails using Mail.app. They are all using Exchange 2010 server, some setup w/ IMAP, others as Exchange server. I know about the java trick and other things that 'correct' the Missing plugin thing... but this is something entirely different. I spent a few hours on the phone w/ Rackspace technical support trying to figure out the issue. As far as i know, all the missing attachments are images (jpg and png is what i've seen so far). Sometimes these attachments show up on an iOS device, sometime not - just like OSX version. If you look at the message details in OWA you can see the blocked attachments are replaced w/ https://email. ourcompany.com/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx path, instead of the usual as shown by the other attachments. It seems as though Microsoft (in their infinite wisdom) is blocking these attachments for some reason. BUT... with Outlook 2010 on a Windows PC these attachments come through just fine. Even Outlook 2011 for Mac is a little better in that it may show one or two other attachments, but Mail.app or Outlook.app neither show ALL of the attachments -- but a plain, vanilla, Outlook for Windows shows them all no problem.
Does anybody have anything to add to this? The email ISP couldn't come up w/ any block list that can be changed, any other ideas, etc... I'm thinking I am going to have to call Microsoft which I really don't want to do. It takes an hour to bring somebody up to speed as to where i am...
Let me know, TIA. -- PetieG

This seems to be a known issue affecting a few people. I don't know what causes it. For a possible fix, see this thread:
