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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

After latest Firefox update, MOBI plug-in no longer works

After the recent update to 29.0.1, my plug-in that I used to view MOBI ebook files no longer work. When I click on a file, it brings up the window saying "You have chosen to open blah blah blah MOBI file. What would you like to do?" And when I click Open, it simply opens a new Firefox tab, and then the question pops up again, and then again, if I click Open, it doesn't open the file but opens a new tab ... etc. etc. Clicking the other option, Save, did the same thing. I use Windows 7, if that makes a difference. The plug-in was working fine until I upgraded Firefox.

Thanks - I discovered that that was indeed the case. It must have vanished with the update. Thanks! All is well now.
(By the way, in addition to your helpful reply I got two rant-like spammy replies from someone else - I'm glad to forward them to you if you want to see them.)

I updated my Firefox to 5.0 and now my Kaspersky Password plug-in no longer works. Spoke with them and they do not have a compatible update yet, so I want to go back to Firefox 4.0. How do I do that?

I love the Kaspersky Pure Password program and us it constantly! After updating my Firefox browser from 4.0 to 5.0... I found that the plug-in for my password program no longer worked!
I emailed them and they do not have an update yet that is compatible with Firefox 5.0....
So I need to go back to 4.0 till Kaspersky has an update because I am lost without my password program!
Please help me.

Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
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 5.
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!

Seobook/rank checker plug in no longer working with update to FF 5

I have a number of plug ins that worked prior to my update to FF5, I have uninstalled the update, installed v 3.6.18, thinking it would help, and it didn't. I'm not sure what to do. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. They worked before I installed the update. I hate to stop using FF and SEObook tools, but it looks like I might have to at this point unless I can get some assistance.

I just solved the same issue. First I reset my whole network from scratch by hard resetting all devices (1 AEBS N and two AXg). Then I started configuring my main base station and added the other devices to the network one by one. (I have a WDS). Only after setting all the devices to channel 6, did the green light stay on.
Apparently when you configure a AX to participate in an existing WDS network and you enter the existing network name in the configuration panel of Airport Utility, it creates a separate network with the same name. In order to force it to join the existing network, make sure their Airport ID numbers are entered under the WDS tab in Airport as WDS remotes.

Re installed photoshop CS5 onto new computer & now plug ins won't work?

I recently bought a new computer & re-installed photoshop CS5.1 successfully, but can't get the plug ins to work (phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3, which were a free download with purchase). I am running windows 7 64bit. I copied & pasted them into the plug ins folder (in both applications of photoshop - there is the 32 bit version on 'program files (x86)' & the 64 bit version in 'program files'), but neither will work.

You probably won't get those plugins to work by just copying them.
I'd remove the plugins that you copied and pasted and use the phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3 plugin installers, as they probably install some other files besides just the plugin itself.

Plug-ins won't work...need help

i just bought Eureka plug-ins volume 4, i was wondering if any knows how to get them to work, I have them downloaded but am not sure how to import them in to FC, and when I open one I get the error "FILE ERROR WRONG TYPE", can anyone help>?
Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Did you put them in the correct place? [boot drive]/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
The next time you launch FCP after putting them in that folder, they should show up in FCP Video Filters folder in the Browser.
-DH
EDIT: I should add that I don't know what plugins are compatible with FCP 5.1, but the above should work for earlier version.

I compiled a list of free audio plug-ins that actually work in Premiere

http://www.fallenempiredigital.com/blog/2013/03/06/enhance-your-audio-mix-in-premiere-pro- with-free-vst-audio-effect-plug-ins/
Cross posted from the Creative Cow forums, I wanted to invite others to suggest plugins they may be using (free preferred). And no, Adobe, I'm not dissing your audio effects in Premiere but they are Soviet-prison-cheese-sandwhich basic.

Thanks for the response.

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.

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.
