My downloaded plug-ins DONT show up

Hi, 
     I have downloaded some plugins from the internet and noticed that they dont seem to show up. i have placed the correct VST, AU, & Component files in there rightful spot and am getting nothing. thank you for reading please help if anyone has any advice.

Are they 64bit Audio Unit plugins?
If not then LPX cannot use them..... LPX does not support 32bit plugins....
You can purchase 32lives if you really need to use an older 32bit AU plugin.... with LPX
http://www.32lives.com
if you are sure they are 64bit AU plugins...
Check the Audio Unit Manager to make sure they are installed and validated correctly.... (Menu bar > Preferences>Audio Unit Manager...)
if they do not show up in the AU manager then they are not AU plugins or they are older 32bit ones...
If they show up but are not validated then... select the plugin and press the reset and rescan button... if they fail to validate then they are not compatible with the version of OS X you are using...
If they show in the AU manager as validated then...
What type of AU plugins are they?
Software Instruments (SI) appear under the Instrument Button for a SI track... under the AU Instruments section at the bottom of the popup menu that appears...
FX Plugins appear when you press the Audio FX button in a track.... again, under the Audio Units section of the popup menu that will appear....
Failing all this... provide the name or names of the plugins you are trying to use.... and Ill check them for you...

    My Photoshop Ele

    When you browse to Computer is your CF card shown as a removable drive?
    If not try shutting down the computer and re-starting and then inserting the CF card or plugging in the USB again.
    Open Elements Organizer and press Ctrl+G to bring up the downloader and under Source click refresh to locate your CF card.
    　 

  • Downloading Plug-ins and whatnot

    Im having trouble viewing videos on my late 2007 mac. When ever I try to download plug-ins it downloads, but when i open it some weird code pops up in TextEdit. Anybody know whats going on?

    Select the downloaded dmg file, assuming that's what's you're downloading, CMD+I, select open with->DiskImageMounter.app, and hit Change All button. It's in /System/Library/CoreServices/.

  • I set in prefferances plug-ins. Show all filter gallery groups and names, but they are still light gray and not selectable

    I set in preferences plug-ins. Show all filter gallery groups and names, but they are still light gray and not selectable

    They are being shown.  When Photoshop gray out items it means in the documents current state  that item is not supported,  Get the document into a state that the grayed out filters can be used.  Some filters mat not support some modes like CMYK. 32bit color, Lab etc. They seem to be listed but nor currently applicable. Note whem no document is open all are grayed out the when a simple clipboard image is open all are available.

  • Waves plug-ins not showing up in AU.

    My waves plug-ins never shows up in logic 7 or 8. But it works as AU under peak and Cubase (under VST). Any solutions?

    make sure you are using the latest Intel version, which is 5.9, as far as I know.

  • Plug-ins not showing up in Aperture 3.1

    I have been using Aperture for a past few days, and when i tried to instal two plug-in programs (photoshelter - it is a photo hosting site and the plug in allows you to upload photos directly to the site, and HSC edit - this is an edit tool I downloaded from the Apple site). Neither of them show up in the menu of Aperture. I tried re-installing, but doesn't work. what could i be doing wrong?

    Frank,
    I have a similar situation that you seem like you might understand.
    I bought a new computer, started a new user (A), and downloaded Aperture. Then I realized it was easier to move the pictures from my old computer by transferring everything from that computer, creating another user (B) on my new computer. Since then I havent used user A at all, but now I can't access plug-ins for Aperture. Based on your posts above I checked user B and sure enough there are the plug-ins. I tried to repair permissions in the disk utility, and that didn't help. I restarted the program after each try.
    Any idea of what I might try next?
    On a separate note, I've been unhappy with this new macbook pro from the start, as compared to my old macbook, in terms of speed. Plus the battery life *****, which is a main reason i ditched the last one, no where near as advertised. Could an extraneous unnecessarily running/ partitioned in the background be creating any problems for speed or battery life? Or was dumping in everything from my old computer a bad idea?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

  • Plug-Ins Not Showing In Logic Pro 9

    Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with plug-ins in Logic Pro 9. Any of the third-party plug-ins I have installed (I've checked the location in the Components folder and they're all there, so I guess it's not something related to the plug-ins location) don't show up, even after rescaning the AU library, reopening Logic and all that stuff.
    Anybody has a clue about what could cause this and how to solve it, please?
    Cheers!

    If you ran Logic Pro in 32bit mode first and then in 64bit mode.. any 32bit plugins which you have installed, will appear under either the Software Instrument button (In LP9) or the Insert FX button for a Software Instrument track....
    If they dont then either..
    You didn't install the AU version of the plugin.... in which case, please do so and then again run LP in 32bit mode and then 64bit mode to make the 32bit version appear in LP 64bit mode..
    or....
    You are not looking in the right place as shown below..
    or...
    You are trying to access a software Instrument on an Audio Track which wont work.. Create a Software instrument track and try again...
    or..
    You are not using a legal version of the 32bit plugin...... in which case, asking here is a bit of a dumb move...
    Here is a screenshot of where the Software Instrument button is in LP9... Click and hold.. on it and look for the 32bit AU plugin sub menu and choose Sylenth...

  • "3rd Party Plug-Ins" Not Showing Up In Preference Pane...

    I'm trying to install a couple of 3rd-Party Plug-Ins... Apparently the procedure for this is to go to Preferences, and in the "General" pane, there should be a heading that says "3rd Party Plug-Ins" along with buttons "Choose..." and "Clear" and a path.
    On my General Preferences Pane, there is no such section... It goes right from "Content Library & Templates" to "Media," with no "3rd Party Plug-Ins" listed anywhere in the pane.
    Using Motion 3.0.2.... Did something change and they didn't change the manual to match? Or is there some setting elsewhere that's making that option disappear?
    Thanks!!!
    Nick

    Howdy,
    The "3rd party plug-ins" section in the Library and preferences really refers to AE plug-ins. Third-party FxPlug plug-ins (like dvMatte or Boris Continuum) show up mixed in with the regular filters and generators.
    That "3rd party plug-ins" path setting in the preferences doesn't appear on Intel-based Macs, as they're no longer supported. If you have a PowerPC system, they'll show up (and so will the setting).

  • Editing software filters/plug-ins not showing in LR 5.4

    I have editing software and plug-ins that I use mostly in LR, but now I notice when I use them, the filters don't show up.  I have Google Nik Collection, Topaz suite, Photomatix and Perfect Effects 8.  I went to my LR preferences >external editing and the first editor I have is Photoshop. The sdditional external editor is HDR Efex pro 2.  In the Additional editor, should I be making that a new preset, or as a custom preset.  Am I only limited to 2 choices in the External editing preference pane?
    I notice that in the File>Export w/Preset, it lists HDR Efex Pro and Photomatix Pro.  Under file>Plug in extras, it lists Perfect Effects 8, and again, Export to Photomatix Pro. Opening any of them, the filters don't appear like they used to.  What am I overlooking? This is making me crazy with loss of time since I have a show coming up.  Any pointers would be appreciated.
    I am using a Mac, OS Mavericks which I just installed a couple of weeks ago.

    It isn't obvious, but you can add as many external editors as you want. In Preferences/External Editing, hit the Choose button, select an application, then from the dropdown select  "Save current settings as new preset". Repeat as needed.

  • Plug ins not showing

    After migrating from tiger on a powerbook G4 to snow leopard 10.6.7 on 2.93 GHz i7 imac. all my plug ins are not showing in Garageband 11 (Atmosphere, Rmx, trilogie, FM7 etc ...)where should they go? I put some in HD> library> audio> plug-ins> components ... but still none showing when I am in GarageBand.
    Thank you for your patience

    You need to make sure that they are Universal Binaries, you can't use PPC plug-ins on an Intel machine.
    You might need to see if there are updates available from the mfg.

  • Unable to download plug ins

    I use Windows XP, I have both Photoshop 7.0 and Elements 4.0. I've been trying to download plugins for my Canon EOS Rebel to access RAW (Cr2) files and every time I download I get an error message either that the file is corrupted or that the ZIP extractor cannot open it. I've disabled both my anti virus and malware software to no avail. I cannot access any fo the downloadable files from Adobe. Any suggestions? Thanks!
    Brenda

    Are you referring to Adobe Camera Raw Plug-ins?
    If so, you should know that there is no ACR plug-in available any more that will work with Photoshop 7.x. (As an aside, you should apply the free and mandatory 7.0.1 update ASAP. It fixes many bugs.)
    ACR 1.x was available for purchase when Photoshop 7.0.1 was current, but it only supported a handful of cameras anyway. It was never free and it was withdrawn as soon as Photoshop 8 was released.
    You're not accidentally downloading the Mac version of the plug-ins, are you? Sorry, other than that I have no suggestions. I don't do Windows. :(

  • How do I import or put in downloaded plug-ins/presets?

    So recently I've just been getting into 8-bit/16-bit music and I downloaded some presets for drums and plug-ins for synthesizers and such and I just have no idea how to install them on my computer. I am aware there are sub-folders, but where do I put my presets/plug-ins? They are ".cst" files and I am so confused. Thank you and please help I would really like to make 8-bit/16-bit music thank you very much!!

    .cst are channel strip settings.. Not plugins...
    In your User folder...
    Music/Audio Music Apps/Channel Strip Settings
    ...and then put in the appropriate folder inside there for the type of .cst they are....

  • Plug-Ins not showing under "Audio Units"

    When I open up Logic and try to insert a new plug-in, the only thing there is Apple. I have the .component files in MAC HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > Components. But they simply won't show up in Logic. I'm in 32-bit mode and I've tried 64. I've scanned and rescanned my audio units. They are all validated and checked. I've restarted Logic and my computer. Nothing. Any help?

    I have the "opposite" question. I have a lot of AU plugins in Logic but I can't find them in the expected places (as above, or in the User Library). I would like to remove some obsolete ones, but am totally clueless where they are. I have done Finder searchs, including system files, to no avail.
