Plug-ins/Extenstions can't be installed!?

Hi
I'm running CS5 on a Windows 7, 64bit system.
I have downloaded some zxp files and tried to install them bur i get the message it can't be done since I do not have the right priviliges. Bu I I'm working with an administrator account. Wht to do?
/Anna

That you are using administrator account doesn't mean that all applications you run have administrative privileges. To run Extension Manager with administrative privilege, you have to right click "Adobe Extension Manager CS5.exe" in Windows Explorer and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu. After you input the administrator password, Extension Manager will have the right privileges.
Since Extension Manager CS5.5, you can run Extension Manager as normal, the UAC dialog will pop up when administrative privileges are required so that you can continue the operation after accepting UAC prompt, no need to restart Extension Manager as administrator.

I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.

Keep getting "blocked plug-ins for Adobe Flash despite installing new version

Keep getting "blocked plug-ins for Adobe Flash despite installing new version

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

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?

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.

Indesign Plug-ins How to upgrade and install?

I have CS 5.5 Master Collection for a year now, and now that I am ready to use InDesign for the first time I can't open my files. I get a message that tells me to "upgrade your plug-ins, or get the latest InDesign version".
I'm not ready to shell out more money. Does anyone know where to find the said updates, and how to install them?
thanks!

@SilverCarMan – it's very unlikely that the supposed CS4 file is really a CS4 file.
You could check which version the file is you are trying to open.

Does Mountain Lion (10.8.4) come with SharePoint plug-ins, or did I just install these?

I did a custom installation of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my MacBook Air running 10.8.4., but I changed my mind and decided to uninstall it.
I only installed Word, Excel, and Proofing Tools (English only).
I'm reading up on how to fully remove all the tidbits Microsoft sprinkled about, and I noticed a couple files on my system:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointBrowserPlugin.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointWebKitPlugin.webplugin
I didn't include SharePoint in the installation, so I'm not sure that's where these files came from. It's a new machine, so the only alternative is that they were included with OS X 10.8.4, in which case I'm inclined to leave them be.
Does anybody know more about these files, where they likely came from?

AFAIK OS X 10.8.4 does not come with SharePoint plug-ins. Those are from Microsoft and are most likely added by SilverLight.
I am running OS X 10.10.1 and Office 14.4.6 and I do not have SilverLight installed... I do not have those two plug-ins you mention. Thus I don't believe Office for the Mac 2011 loaded them.
Hope that helps

Plug-ins missing, can open files anyway

I'm using WinXP and CS2(4.0.5). Every time I open a particular doc, I get the following message: "The document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?" The missing plug-ins are: jpeg filter.rpln, gif filter.rpln, dib import filter.rpln, export manager.rpln.
I see most people in the forums either can't open their docs (not my case) or have had some interaction with CS3 (also not my case).
I do have the option to ignore the error message in the future, but I have to resave the doc as a new doc each time I close it, thus negating that step and restarting the process all over. I have no idea if I used to have these plug-ins and lost them or if I need to find them somewhere. If so, where??
Any help would be appreciated!

Plug-ins you can't live without

What are your favorite third party plug-in? I'm looking for drum machine, synth, and sampler recommendations for use on an Intel Mac with Logic. With my old powerbook and Logic 4.8.2 I was using mostly hardware. Now with the new Macbook Pro I'd like to get into using more plug-ins, but i don't have much experience with them and their integration into Logic. I was considering the Native Instruments stuff, Battery, Absynth etc... if anyone can comment on the quality and integration. Also, any more obscure gems out there you can recommend would be great. I'd really like something that can do what a Elektron Machinedrum can do in software. Or maybe a good 909 or 303 emulator?

What are your favorite third party plug-in? I'm looking for drum machine,
synth, and sampler recommendations for use on an Intel Mac with Logic.
what kind of music do you make? helps to know, different things are good for different styles of music.
anyway, a couple of things I'd rather not live without, in no particular order are:
ohmboys delay.
I find the delays in logic to be really creatively lacking and just plain average. the tape delay sounds authentic and all, but it kind of just does the one thing, and frankly I can pick it whenever I hear it in anything nowadays. ohmboys delay gives you a lot more colour and a lot more ways to create a bit of mayhem. and then it also has that awesome loop button, which is fantastic for controlling the madness and using it in musical ways. it's my go-to delay for when I'm working on remixes.
UAD card.
on my G5 system I have a UAD card with all the plug ins enabled. I'd have to say that it's a keeper as well. I miss those plug ins on my MBP setup, but I don't think I miss them enough that I'll buy one of those portable units that UA are releasing. frankly I think I'll replace the concept of the UAD on my portable machine with URS plug ins, or maybe a liquid mix later on.. much more bang for the buck, and really for me the only plug ins that I use all the time on the UAD are the dynamics and EQ ones, 1176, LA2A, pultec, neve.. and also the plate reverb.. but maybe I'll make space designer impulses of that and see how that goes.
melodyne plug in.
not much to say about this, it's just so good at what it does and so dang useful. I think with few exceptions, most users should have it.
sonalksis EQs and comps.
hard to get super super excited about these, but they're just really good and really solid. you can tell that there's good quality design inside these things, right down to no latency operation and just good reliable results. I use them all the time on my MBP setup cos I don't have many good EQs and comps on that machine, and they are by far the best I have.
ivory piano.
I love the intimate sound I can get from this plug in. a lot of people rave about NI akoustic piano and how much better it is. I can't say, but I love ivory for the piano sounds I usually want to go for.
ohmforce symptohm melohman.
I just love looking at the interface of this thing.. it's like looking at a comic or a zine, with touches of manga. also, I think it's a pretty underrated synth. it makes some beautiful, bizarre harmonic resonant sounds, and also some solid punchy sounds too. not everyone is using it, so it brings something unique to things, when everybody else's idea of unique is absynth..
reaktor.
I doubt I'll ever fully and deeply get into reaktor. but when I need to go off on a trek to make soundscapes or I feel the need to try and bring some randomness to a track, I'll often spend some time going through my reaktor ensembles to see what happens.
URS neve channel EQs.
I think these are lovely. used them a lot on a film score once, to bring out the grain and sizzle in some sculpture sounds I made. they are also great for rolling off bottom end and driving the midrange in sounds, to bring out a great presence. very very good for shaping your sounds into main characters in a mix.

You may need to run Logic in 32bit mode to get the AudioUnit Manager to scan the new plugins?

AARP games requires plug-ins but they will not install to play games

Every time I go on the AARP games site (http://games.aarp.org), it notes that my plugins need to be updated. I agree and go thru all the procedures of installing the plugins. They download but the steps of installing the plugins never become active. So where did the files go and can they be installed manually? Also the plugin for QuickTime says it is for Windows, but the download is for the MAC. Anyway, I really miss playing the AARP games, but how do I get them to open. The site opens, the games come up, I press play and nothing happens.

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Ever since I upgraded to FF6, some pics and videos do not load or play. It does not ask if it can install a plug-in either. Some plug-ins are not compatible with FF6, but I don't know which plug-ins I can use. Please help!

I had this problem on previous versions of FF and thought the upgrade would help, but it didn't.

hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,

Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

How to install optional plug-ins

I just read in the March issue of Photoshop User magazine about optional plug-ins you can download from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4048. It includes the Contact Sheet II plug-in among others. The article described how to install this plug-in but there are other things included in the Goodies folder that I'd like to install but not sure how. For example, there are textures but I don't see a textures folder where PS CS4 is installed. The readme file doesn't tell you how to install the features. Any help would be appreciated.

most things like textures, actions, brushes etc. can be loaded via the flyout menu in their respective palettes. the little triangle in the upper right corner? click that, you'll see "load textures" or "load brushes" etc.

Installing Old Plug-ins into CS5

Is it possible to install old plug-ins (plugins) into Adobe Photoshop CS5?
I have tried a couple of my old plug-ins and could not get any to show up under the Filters menu.
I installed to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins
I tried installing Noise Ninja 2.3.2.
I tried installing Kodak GEM AIR Pro.
I tried installing Phototune SkinTun.
No luck with any of them.
I also tried installing a couple to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Filters

No one is likely to have a FIX, per se.
32 bit plug-ins only work with 32 bit Photoshop, while only 64 bit plug-ins work with 64 bit Photoshop. I suspect the 32/64 bit mismatch may be at the root of the problem you're seeing, Hawaii-geek.
Plug-ins generally need to be installed in the new version of Photoshop.
For 32 bit plugins, maybe, just MAYBE, for an individual plugin you can find a way to copy the proper file(s) so that Photoshop CS5 will find them under its OWN Plug-ins subfolder. Photoshop enumerates plugins it finds there when it first starts. But this is not a given as a plug-in may set up things other than just the files when it is installed.
The one thing to remember is that you ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT point the "Extra Plug-ins Folder" at the Plug-ins folder of an old Photoshop installation. Doing so will mix plugins supplied with the older Photoshop version with your new Photoshop version, and this WILL cause you problems.
HangtownGal is using that feature right. For simple one-file plugins, you should be able to point every version of Photoshop to a common separate plug-ins folder, but keep in mind the 32 vs. 64 bit issue I mentioned above. As Chris states, 32 bit Photoshop will only load 32 bit plug-ins, and 64 bit Photoshop will only load 64 bit plug-ins (which are reasonably rare still). And keep in mind more complex plugins often are sets of files that are sometimes copied to a number of different places in the Photoshop installation area.
Why is it you think someone else needs to FIX this problem?
Did you not keep the installation package and/or instructions you got with your old plugins? For those that cannot be installed into a Photoshop version that didn't even exist when they were released, have you checked to see if there are updates available from the plugin manufacturers? You may very well have to pay to upgrade these. You paid to upgrade Photoshop, so is that a problem?
