Missing standard plugins at InDesign CS6 startup

We recently updated from CS5 to CS6 and since then everytime I try to use InDesign CS6 I get errors telling me it cannot load plugins for some of the standard panels, for example:
Gradient Panel.InDesignPlugin
OutputMiscUI.InDesignPlugin
Swatch Library Panel.InDesignPlugin
Transparency UI.InDesignPlugin
Text Color Panel.InDesignPlugin
Then it gives an error that says "Cannot open resource file"
The application will go ahead and open, but most of the standard panels are missing. This isn't an issue of trying to open a newer version with an older version, because I am just trying to open the application to create a new document.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.
Help?

Uninstall again, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall. If you're on a mak, hold down the Shift key when booting to start up in safe made before you reinstall, for Windows, see How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista
Return to normal startup after the install.

  • "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

  • Can you export plugins in Indesign CS6?

    I have supplied an InDesign CS6 file to a colleague, when he tries to open it it asks for 4 missing plugins? Does anybody know a solution to this?
    Do I need to 'export' the plugins, if so does anybody know how to do this?

    Hi Peter
    Yes my colleague needs to edit the layout etc.
    I am just figuring out what version of InDesign he is using? I also think he is on a PC not a Mac.
    I am going to back save and see how he gets on.
    Thank you for your input.
    Kind regards

  • Missing stroke panel - Mac InDesign CS6 (8.0.2)

    Can't remember when I last needed to apply a stroke to an object but I've found today that I have no stroke panel. I've tried deleting prefs as variously described but that hasn't helped. Where can it be hiding?
    Help!
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the fast response. I have try all of the Workspace options, but nothing seemed to open up the stroke tools. I went ahead and cleared my preferences and jumped into Edit>Menu and made sure all was set to "visibility". I'm still missing the "stroke" tools which normally are listed under Window>Stroke. Got anymore ideas?

  • InDesign CS6 booklet plugin

    Can anyone recommend a booklet plugin for InDesign CS6? In spite of excellent help from Eugene Tyson which did work, I think I need something a little more specific, and easier to manipulate. I have no idea about plugins if they don't come with the software, but this is really necessary.

    Take a look at IDImposer. I wouldn't necessarily say it is intuitive, but it's very versatile: Overview | IDImposer
    For very simple two-up saddle-stitch type booklets there are also a number of free scripts.

  • Wie kann ich PageMaker Dateien 7.0 (5.0) in InDesign CS6 Standard öffnen? Brauche ich ein Plugin dazu?.

    Ich möchte PageMaker Dateien 7.0 (5.0) in InDesign CS6 Box-Schulversion öffnen. geht aber leider nicht. Brauche ich ein Plugin dazu? Wenn ja, wo bekomme ich es und was kostet es?. Danke für die Mühe.

    Nein, geht nicht. Die letzte Version, die PM-Dateien öffnen konnte, war oder CS4 oder so und die mußten auch PM7 sein. Du kannst dir bestenfalls die Demoversionen dieser alten Versionen runterladen und schnell die Konvertierung durchziehen, aber mehr auch nicht.

  • Indesign CS6 not launching / startup crash

    Since this morning my InDesign CS6 keeps crashing on startup. I'm using Adobe Cloud and all other applications work fine. I'm using the software in german and it's  the first startup process ("Initializing"?) that immediately crashes the program. Everything was working fine last night.
    I tried reinstalling, deactivating plugins and removing certain cache/registry files as explained in previous posts to this matter – without success. Please help ASAP!
    My log: http://pastebin.com/r3ieNaYx

    I see a newer post from you in another thread that indicates trashing your prefs solved the problem. Is that correct?

  • Indesign CS6 " The program can't start because Core Foundation_v11.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix the problem"

    Hi all
    I'm running Indesign CS6 in Windows 7. Lately, when the program is opening, I'm getting the error pop-up: " The program can't start because Core Foundation_v11.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix the problem" When I click OK the program continues to load as normal, with nothing abnormal going on that I can see. I'd like to get rid of the error message though. I've tried re-installing, and scanning for problems with several anti-virus and anti-malware programs, all to no avail (no sign of any virus or malware). Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to restore the missing file? Many thanks for any help.
    Wayne

    With a bit more searching I found the source of the problem. For anyone interested it's explained here
    Missing file: CoreFoundation_v11x64.dll
    I tried to install a trial of Extensis Suitcase last week but for some reason it failed to install. It was after that I started noticing the error message, but because Suitcase had failed to load I didn't connect the two events! After reading the above thread implicating Suitcase, I looked in the InDesign plugins folder and, lo and behold, a folder called Font Activation that contained Extensis files! I moved them out and the error message is gone!
    Thanks again to P Spier and thanks to Adobe for these forums.

  • InDesign CS6 for Windows: Type tool crashes program and am getting missing plug-in msgs.

    Just installed InDesign CS6 for Windows. When I open the program, I receive three messages:
    (1) Paragraph Panel.APLN needs Justification Panel plugin;
    (2) Runin Styles Panell.APLN needs Find and Change Panel plug-in;
    (3) Objectstylesui.APLN needs Graphics Panel plug-in.
    To top it off, the type tool crashes the program.
    I couldn't locate any current forum postings that appeared to help. I have uninstalled and re-installed the software. I have done an update from Adobe.
    Advice? This is an educator's addition if that matters.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    Thank for your help Peter. My software is working just fine now.
    For others who might encounter these issues, here is how - with Peter Spier's help - I solved my problems. I uninstalled the previous CS6 version and re-booted. I disconnected from the Internet and then disabled my antivirus protection, antispyware and firewall. I had to do this in Norton as well as Windows (Windows Defender and Windows Firewall). Then I re-loaded the entire CS6 and re-booted. I opened InDesign. I no longer got the msgs about plug-ins missing. I then opened a new file and checked the Type tool. It worked fine. I opened an InDesign CS3 file, saved it as a new file in ID CS6. I was able to successfully edit text using the Type Tool.
    Thank you to Peter for your help!

  • InDesign CS6 Middle East : default font substituted for missing font

    Hello,
    Message error from Indesign : Default font substituted for missing font
    I am currently using version "InDesign CS6 Middle East," which normally supports the Arabic language ...
    The problem is that the characters display correctly and others not! Especially this "font" called "MunaPlain", this version was created in 1996. (on the Internet, I could not find a new version!)
    According to research, test... i have found that Mac OS X Lion that causes this error!
    My question is:
    Can I uninstall Mac OS X Lion and install an old OS version in my computer, for example MAC OS X Leopard ? Any solution please ?
    Is there an update or plugin indesign for Arabic? (except ScribDoor, because in this case, it is useless)
    Thank you!

    For questions regarding Adobe apps, it is probably really best to ask Adobe or use their forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa
    I am amazed that an arabic font from 1996 would work correct anywhere today given the changes in technology that have occurred.  Is it really not possible for you to use a modern Unicode Arabic font for your work?  There are lots of them -- Apple gives you a half-dozen or so.  And there is a list at
    http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Arabic.html
    Whether you can downgrade your os depends on your hardware.  If it came new with 10.7 installed, then it is not possible.

  • InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 crashes on startup

    Hello out there
    I have a problem with InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 and I'm really desperate right now...
    I've installed the CS6 Master Collection some days ago.. all programs (f.e. Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) are working fine, but InDesign doesn't.
    When I try to start it, it suddenly crashes during (or immediately after) the step "Starting up Service Registry":
    You can find the crash log here:
    http://db.tt/vzRV3kzt
    These are my computer facts:
    I really tried everything..
    For example I tried all those steps:

    and this:

    and I also tried starting it in the Admin/Safety Mode.
    I also did some research in this forum, but couldn't find a solution...
    So, I have no further ideas how to solve that problem.
    Did anybody have the same problem? It would be really great if you could help me...
    I never had any problems with InDesign CS5 or earlier versions.

  • Missing links in Indesign CS6!

    Good morning!
    Yesterday, my workmate and I did a .indb file in Indesign CS6. That .indb (book) is made of several .indd files (documents).
    So far so good. Then, after it was ready, we linked all images (using the Links panel) to each .indd and then we saved it.
    Today, I've tried to move those documents to my computer.
    However, the Links panel now shows many missing links in the images, according to the image below:
         I can't understand how Indesign CS6 missed links in this case, because we have already linked all images to each document.
         Please, I would like to learn more about this process of linking images to documents in Indesign.

    inDesign links documents via a file path.
    It doesn't actually add the image itself to the document, but rather relays a link to the where file resides on the hard drive.
    It then draws a representation of that image in the layout using a proxy thumbnail.
    So when it's linked it is actually looking at a file path, say something like
    If I move that file to a computer where the my documents folder has a different name say "C:\MyDocuments\Eugene\Images\Eugene1.png"
    "C:\MyDocuments\Marcelo\"
    Then when I open the file on Marcelo's computer the link would still be
    "C:\MyDocuments\Eugene\Images\Eugene1.png"
    I need to redirect the link to go to
    "C:\MyDocuments\Marcelo\Images\Eugene1.png"
    As stated above you should use
    File>Package
    Zip the folders the computer generates - and then send them to a new computer.
    Unzip and work on the file.

  • InDesign CS6 + Yosemite + Copy/Paste = Missing font

    We use ITC Franklin Gothic throughout all of our pieces; it's installed and it's the default font setup. New and existing files have opened without issue until now. I opened an advertisement that needed to be resized, from our shared server and copied the contents. In a new document, I pasted the contents suddenly the font says it's missing. The images retained their links to the packaged folder on the server, the fonts just stopped working. I closed InDesign, then disconnected from the server in case there was some kind of conflict between the local font and the server font override from the packaged fonts folder (packaged from the local font installed, I made the source ad this same way). Loaded the new file, and got the expected missing links dialogue, but unexpectedly the fonts were still missing. I reviewed the missing fonts, and it was the entire family. I opened Suitcase, verified the fonts are active. Still no fonts in InDesign. Okay, disactivated font in Suitcase (maybe it needs an update), installed the font in Fontbook, need to get the ad done and I don't have time for this. Verified font works by opening a different file, making a new document, but as soon as I opened the ad with the missing the fonts, fonts go missing. I then changed the fonts to a different family, and tried changing them back, but the font doesn't even show in the list of fonts. I can't figure out why this particular method of copy and paste breaks the font. I've opened and created other files with this font family active, while this copy/paste file is open at the same time in another tab while it still says "no". The only work around I could use was to copy the entire packaged folder from the server to my desktop and just change the document properties to the size I need, then adjust the artwork to fit.
    I'd like to find a resolution as to why copying and pasting broke this font even though the same missing font works fine simultaneously in a different document. Any suggestions/questions/thoughts/solutions would be very welcome.
    System specs:
    27" iMac (Mid-2011) 3.1 GHz i5
    32 GB RAM
    1 GB Video
    10.10.2
    Adobe InDesign CS6 8.1
    Update: Looking through the font list, Franklin is being listed as a different font. Though the character palette, the font selected is ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book; the font listed in the Type drop-down menu is Myriad Pro, and once that was deactivated, Helvetica.

    i don't see how that could be the case because I originally installed the font, created and packaged the ad, and the font is available for typesetting in a new document while this problematic document is open without being connected to the server.
    I upgraded to creative cloud 2014 and this particular document is still a problem. This font issue is limited to this sole document. I'm guessing it has something to do with the copy and pasting. Tomorrow, I'll try replacing the font to something else and then copy/pasting it in the same way if it recreates the same problem with a different font.

  • InDesign CS6 crashing at startup after upgrade

    Hello all,
    Yesterday, we upgraded a few of our iMacs (10.7.4) with the MasterCollection CS6 from CS5.5.
    Everything launches with no problems EXCEPT for InDesign CS6. The splash screen comes up and quits when it says "Starting up service registry".
    When I look in the console, the report crash says this:
    ReportCrash: CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary.
    I looked all over the net for some solutions, which one said to delete the ID defaults and prefs but there are none to be deleted because the software never gets far enough to create those files.
    And the kicker is that we get the exact same error on 3 iMacs. Some of our remote employees installed the same MasterCollection dmg on their systems and are having no issues.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!
