Nik Software plug-ins don't work in Aperture 3.3

I just updated yesterday to Aperture 3.3, and today, upon opening a photo to edit with my Nik software plug-ins, namely Dfine 2.0, Color Efex 3, and Output Sharpener, none of them worked, and which had worked just fine in aperture 3.2.4. (and which when I tried to open that said that "This version of aperture doesn't support Dfine 2.0"). I then took the obvious route of trying to change in Aperture in "get Info" the previously available choice of "32 bit mode", only to realize that it was no longer there (only the shadowed "Locked" button). What can possibly be done in order for my plug-ins to work again?
Greg

Dfine 2 and Silver Efex Pro 1 work for me with Ap3.3.
Have you taken any trouble-shooting steps?

Nik Software Plug-Ins are not compatible with Aperture 3

After installing my upgrade to Aperture 3, I get a message when attempting to use one of my Nik Software editing plug-ins. The message says that the plug-ins are not 64-bit (they are 34-bit) and in order to run them, Aperture must close and reopen in 34-bit mode. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Keli
In order to open Aperture in 32-bit mode by default you can right-click on the application icon, select "Get Info" and check the box marked "Open In 32-bit Mode" (or you can continue to run it by default in 64-bit mode and just get forced to re-open the app anytime you need to use plug-ins that can only run in 32-bit mode).
hope this helps!

Nik Software Plug-ins not working with LR3

Hello,
I have both LR 2.7 and LR3 running on my computer. When I installed LR 3, it load the Nik software plug-ins into the external editor section like LR 2.7. However, when I try to use a Nik plug-in in LR 3 I get an error message that the " File xxxxx.tif can not be opened because it does not exist or access is denied." The Nik interface opens, then I get this error message, but then it places the xxxxx.tif file in the film strip. The plug-ins work just fine with LR 2.7. I've uninstalled and re-installed the plug-ins, but the same error message pops up in LR 3. I have contacted Nik Software, but have not gotten an answer that works. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was your solution. I've tried everything I know of except uninstalling LR 3 and re-installing. I'm using Windows 7 64bit. I have CS4 (32 and 64bit) and CS5 (32 and 63bit) running and the plug-ins work just fine with them.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Dennis

Hi Martin,
You might try going in the pref and under external editing and try to manually set up each one. Go down to additonal external editing. Click on Choose and then go to the folder where you have your Nik software installed and choose the program file. There will be dialog box telling you to name the file, call it anything you want and the click ok. Go to the drop down bar and select Save as new preset. Close LR3 and then reopen and check to see if your program is there under the new name. If not, you probably will have un-install all the plug-ins and re-install. Hope this helps!

Plug-ins Don't Work in Reader XI; Work Fine in Reader X

We're looking to upgrade from Reader 9.x to Reader XI. A bunch of us in IT have been running Reader X without issue for some time so we didn't anticipate any problems with XI. I tested the upgrade process on a machine with 9.x and although it worked fine, none of our add-ins worked. I performed the following on a machine with XI with no positive results:
Performed repair or 'modify' installations of the applications in question that load add-ins/plug-ins into Adobe
I verified the .API files were in in the proper location
One plugin (caseMap) goes into reader\plug_ins
Another plugin (Interwoven) goes into reader\plug_ins\Interwoven
Verified protected mode was disabled via registryreg add "HKEY_USERS\DefUser\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Privileged" /v bProtectedMode /t reg_dword /d 0 /f
Again: Going from 9.x to X we don't have a problem, and usually adding the .API file is all that's necessary to get the plug-in working again. But when going from 9.x to XI or X to XI, the plug-ins no longer work.
Has something drastically changed between X and XI that would make these add-ins cease to function?
I've reached out to the vendors & am awaiting responses. In the mean time, is there anything I failed to check or something else I can do?

Thanks for the response.
We tend to not assume it'll work & blindly fire off updates. You see, when we (IT Only) upgaded to X from 9, the new 'protected mode' feature caught us off guard. We assumed we had done something wrong with the packaging and so spent a few days making sure we crossed our t's and dotted our i's before escalating to the vendors. And when we reached out they came back with a very simple "ohh yeah just check off a box", making us feel a bit foolish. I wanted to be sure there wasn't some other new measure put in place to further try to secure Reader.
As it turns out,
LexisNexis had to update their package for CaseMap 10 for Reader XI, and they have no plans to patch earlier versions.
Autonomy / Interwoven is set to release FileSite 8.5 SP3 Update 6 in Q1 which will support XI.
As you stated, vendors have to produce updates.

Plug-ins won't work with aperture 3.5.1

Just updated to aperture 3.5.1 and now none of my plug-ins won't work what can I do to fix this problem. Any help woud be great.

How do they not work, error message, crash, etc?
What plugin and want Aperture and OS versions did you upgrade from?
In general if after an upgrade you have a problem like this you should check the developer sites for updated plugins designed to work with the new version of OS and Aperture.

Why doesn't "Elements 10 Editor only" allow the use of Nik Software plug ins??

I was very excited yesterday when I noticed in the Apple App store that a version of Elements called "Elements 10 Editor only" was for sale. Since I never use the Organizer this is perfect for me. Unfortunately, it will not allow Nik software plugins to be installed. There is no "plugins folder" included. In every other way the "Elements 10 Editor only" version is wonderful. Loads fast, runs clean and fast and is just a wonderful product, and something I've been hoping would come along for years. I can't believe Adobe didn't allow for the use of plug-ins. Looks like I just wasted $80.
Any suggestions or work-arounds to allow plug ins to be used?

Thank you, Barbara! I spent considerable time today on the phone with Nik Software. Both Viveza and Color Efex will work on the full version of Elements 10. NOT on the version "Elements 10 EDITOR ONLY". The reason is because Adobe did not include a plug in folder when they released Elements 10 EDITOR ONLY. Thanks, Barbara for the screen shot..however, the Editor only version has no folders at all!!! It's really strange. Why would Adobe release an Editor Only version of Elements that doesn't work with plug ins? I allowed Nik Software techs remote access to my Mac, and while version 9 has the same folder breakdown you provided, this Editor Only version of 10 has nothing except the application icon! You have been wonderfully helpful as usual, Barbara, thank you very much. It looks, though that I just wasted $80. Oh well, back to PSE9 !
Here's an update....using your method..I was able to find a folder for plug-ins within the program file. Used it to try and install Viveza and Color Efex, but Adobe says it "does not accept that type of file".

Ubermind's plug-ins don't work

I want to download some plug-ins by Ubermind6 for example this http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/maperturepro.html?cmp
And any them plug-ins couldn't download. Even this company exists now. It's not good for apple's site to reccomend than thing.

Hi Alex
Ubermind discontinued the plugin and you have to download it from some alternative site. Google for it or try this link: http://www.downloadplex.com/Mac/Graphic-Apps/Other/Download-maperture-pro-for-ma c_178058.html
I use Maperture Pro to write the GPS data into my JPG master files and add altitude information.

I installed Firefox5 and now mt plug ins don't work. I want to go back to FF4 - how can i do this?

I use property bee and the valuations tool bar all the time. When I upgrade to Firefox 5 I did not realise that these would no longer work. I need these so i want to go back to the previous version of firefox - it worked just fine! how can i do this?

If they worked in Firefox 4, there's a really good chance they will still work in Firefox 5.
Extensions for Firefox include a list of compatible Firefox versions. You can ''ignore'' add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter :: Add-ons for Firefox]
Please report back on your results.
Oh, and due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.

Plug-ins no longer work

I am still using AI CS2 and suddenly many of my plug-ins don't work, this includes all my Illustrator Filters, Illustrator Formats, some Photoshop Filters and Formats, and all my Text Filters. Maybe they are incompatible with Yosemite 10.10.1 Does anyone know?

Lhowekim,
I am afraid CS2 is far too old to work (properly) with Yosemite.
Many have given up using CS3 with it.

For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working. Can anyone help me get it working?

For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working. Can anyone help me get it working?

It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here. Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it. Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model it was reading).
Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run.
Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
Good luck on working this one out.

Plug Ins for Orchestra work

What are the plug-ins you find work best for orchestra production (I use VSL), and do you tweak the standard settings on them to produce the most realistic sound?

Now lets go back to your question,
1) you have a good arrangement, that means the parts do complement well
2) you have good samples (VSL)
3) you play the parts on your keyboard - not mechanically, not quantized.
first problem: you play all parts by yourself, no interaction between the musicians. In an orchestra (at this point) the musicians would try to get a "tutti" sound, each instrument has to "fit in the mix". Thats difficult, when you have to do it part by part.
4) Your parts are all recorded. Now you will pan the parts like an orchestra is positioned.
5) Creation of sound. Lets see how an orchestra is recorded normally. You would use a pair of omnidirectional microphones. Recording in AB which produces many phase differences. This is how the room will be created. Rarely you will see an AB-recording.
You would use spot microphones for some groups and solo instruments of the orchestra. These spot microphones will be added to the AB-main-microphone, panned like you hear the instruments on the AB-Mics.
To create a realistic sound with virtual orchestra you first will have to create that tutti room sound with a good true stereo reverb. Pan your sound sources like a real orchestra and add some reverb.
In a real orchestra recording, the spot microphones would bring out some details of specific instruments and bring the solo instruments to the front.
I would suggest to use the sends of the instruments-channels to add some reverb. Less reverb for the instruments in the front, more reverb for the instruments in the back. But reverb is not the whole thing. Room is created by volume and phase differences. If you want your trumpet to be placed to the right you should not only pan it to the right but also use a sample delay to delay the left channel of the trumpet by a few milliseconds. This will sound much more realistic than just panning (which only adjusts the volume of the right and left channel).
The ear is very sensitive for phase differences.
And its even more complex since orchestra recordings are normally done with a lot of spot microphones, so there will be a lot of phase differences (which sometimes also may be a problem).
A sound engineer who is recording classical music would never use compression or Eq. He would choose the best microphone for each instrument. Compression kills the dynamics, although you will hear some compression of orchestra tracks in the cinema.
You may use some eq anyway. In an orchestra a musician will hear which frequencies and sound is needed and adapt the sound and volume. When you play all instruments by your own you will have to do some fine tuning. If there are instruments that kill each other with the same frequencies you may clean the picture with eqs.
Hope that helps,
Eddie

How do I download/install software/plug-ins automatically

When I was using Windows XP, I could download software/plug-ins and thet would install automayically. How do I do that with FireFox and Windows 7?

Hi Indollars,
Firefox is set up to automatically check for updates. Take a look at [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Updating%20Firefox?s=automatic+updates&r=0&as=s#w_how-do-automatic-updates-work this article] for details. As for plugins, Firefox doesn't automatically update those. You can use the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Checker] to see if you have any plugins that need updating though.
Hopefully this helps!

Upgraded and now plug ins won't work

I recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 and further to FCP 6.0.4. Now certain plug ins won't work--such as Magic Bullet Looks, Core Melt Editing Pack and Slick FX.
Any ideas on what I can do to get things working again?
Thanks!

Check with the vendor for each of the plugins to see if they have an update or upgrade available to make them compatible with your version of FCP, QT and OS.

I need to replace firefox 4.0.1 with firefox 3.6 because my add ins don't work with 4.0

Question
i need to replace firefox 4.0.1 with firefox 3.6 because my add ins don't work with 4.0 but will work with 3.6. How do I accomplish this?

Any particular add-on? Maybe there's an updated version or substitute?
If you can't find a solution with Firefox 4, here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

All Adobe plug-ins no longer work or install under FF 3.6.6

As soon as I upgraded, Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash stopped working, with a message saying I needed a newer version. When I tried to install those, however, I get an error message saying additional plug-ins are needed to continue. When I click to load those, I get a message saying it can't be done because some file is missing, so try a manual install. Which, of course, also doesn't work. Because of my work-related use of the Internet, the PDF reader, in particular, is a necessity. So what's wrong here and how is it fixed?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6

Hi, luanna.
This is a long shot but have you checked your iLok? Are the licences still on it? Has it been pulled out of the usb slot or bumped?
I've occasionally had trouble with mine suddenly deciding not to work.
I had to reload the licences from the iLok site and the problem was fixed.
On the same subject: have you plugin licences expired for some reason?
These, as I said, are longshots, but a malfunction iLok could cause what you're describing.
Another possibility have you started running either OS X or Logic in 64 bit? If so, plugsound might not be compatible.
Hope that you fix the problem.
