"Plug-ins not currently available" keeps popping up. Cannot edit old or new files.

I just downloaded Illustrator CC a few days ago off of the creative cloud for my Mac OS X. I was able to work on projects and everything just fine. Today I tried opening the projects I had been working on, but what came up on all the files when I tried opening them was a window saying “The document ‘name of document.ai’ contains elements that are managed by plug-ins that are not currently available. You can delete or expand these elements but you cannot manipulate them in other ways. The miss plug-ins are listed below.” and there would be different plug-ins listed depending on what project it was. It would not let me edit anything on the AI files.
I tried restarting my computer but than for a while was not able to open AI at all and a window “Missing Required Plug-ins: PDF Format.aip” popped up and shut AI down every time. I looked up some troubleshooting online and found some advice for putting foreign plug-ins in a separate file and restarting AI holding “command, option, shift”. I did that and was able to open AI again, but the same problem and window as the first time came up.
I tried starting a new file, but the same message would pop up with and it called my new file “print.ai” even though I clearly didn’t make and name a file yet. I even tried creating a new file from template and using a stock template like “CD cover”… it opened up and I could move the shapes around, but still no creative tool bar. I can’t even get into AI preferences. Any help troubleshoot would be much appreciated.

Hi Sam_I_Am,
The missing required plugin pdfformat.aip issue was there in some user machine on 17.1 update and the solution available unfortunately is to uninstall Ai and reinstall.
On what version of Ai are you facing this issue.
Sanjay.

I called Adobe for help on this, but they said my version of InDesign was too old for them to help me, which was really discouraging. I am getting an error when I try to open my InDesign files, which up until a couple weeks ago, opened fine. I am getting the error below:

I've tried deleting and reinstalling CS2. I've tried removing my preferences. Neither have worked. I am close to just resorting to Apple's Pages for my layout design. If anyone can give some fixes here, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!

Verify that you are running ID CS2, InDesign version 4.x. What level are you patched to from the InDesign>About InDesign drop down splash screen?
The message alerts to files being version 2.0.x? that is 2 versions back, are these old files?
Can you create, open, edit, save new files?

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

I am using CS4. Can I open CS6 files? I am receiving "plug-ins not available on your system" messages and I'd like to open anyway but clicking on OK doesn't work.

InDesign CS4 can open .indd, .indt and .inx files from earlier versions, but not from later. It should, however, be able to open .idml files saved or exported from newer versions, with the understanding that unsupported features will be lost, text will probably reflow due to differences in texts engines between versions, and that the greater the gap between versions the more likely there are to be noticeable differences from the original. You will need to be sure CS4 is at version 7.0.6 to read the .idml.

Migrating PS CS3 to Intel with OS 10.5.6 Plug-ins Not Available

After migrating CS3 to MacBook Pro, 10.5.6, a list of unavailable plug-ins comes up. All except two were PS plug-ins, NOT aftermarket. Sure enough, they don't show up in the filters menu. I don't know where else they are missing. (migrated from Powerbook 10.4.11)
What is to be done?
CS3, OS 10.5.6/ MB Pro 2GB ram, 2.4 Ghz

Migrating is never a great idea, but migrating an application originally installed under Tiger on a PowerPC machine to a Mac-Intel box running Leopard goes beyond being a monumentally bad, horrendous idea. It's sheer lunacy!
You need to wipe out that drive, or at least use the Adobe Uninstaller (installed by CS3 in Applications/Utilities/Adobe/ on your old machine), look for, download and run the CS3Clean script, and then install the application from the original media.
Also, realize that any plug-ins that were not written in Universal Binary will NOT run under CS3 on the Mac-Intel machine,
unless you run CS3 under Rosetta software emulation with a corresponding
massive performance hit.
Never, ever try
"migrating" again. :(

Buggy action - 'the command "high pass" is not currently available'

Hi, I've recently been speedtesting a couple of mac minis with different RAM and scratch configurations. To speedtest I'm running a Photoshop action.
Today, I added 16Gb RAM (2 x 8Gb) to a 2011 i7 2.7 ghz mac mini and discovered that my previously well functioning speedtest action gets stuck at the High Pass filter step. It pops up a warning - 'the command "high pass" is not currently available'. If I then highlight the high pass stage in the action palette and click play, the filter works and the action continues.
I googled and found a suggestion to reinstall Photoshop. I did this and the action completed properly - but only once. When I tried to run it again it got stuck as before, at the high pass filter stage.
Any ideas?
(The steps in the action prior to this problem: background layer duplicated (layer via copy), image mode from 16bit to 8 bit, unsharp mask on copied layer... then i'm wanting to run the high pass on the same layer, but it stops...)

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port. However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." And then I have to click cancel.
The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series, and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network', and USE: MX870 series. But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
"Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!
Marty

Hello Marty,
It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
Resolution
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

Error message Plug-ins not upgraded, cannot open

A client sent me a CS3 InDesign that won't open. It says my plug-ins are not upgraded. It lists all the plug-ins and they
are features that already exist in InDesign such as preflight and collect. How can I get the file to open?

I cannot insert the screenshot .jpg's into my e-mail. So here are the messages:
Error message 1.)
CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN
WORDREADY.RPLN
The "file.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?
Error message 2.)
List of 21 plug-ins (many in this list are standard items in my CS3 InDesign such as preflight)
Cannot open "document.indd" please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
InCopy is listed as one of the plug-ins. Does that tell you something? Let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks,

The command "place" is not currently available...action problem

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and hope someone has had experience with this issue. I have tried googling it but have not found a solution. Here is my problem:
I created an action to place a watermark on my images in CS4. I now use CS5 and have had no problems with this action previously...until today. I can no longer run it, as "the command "place" is not currently available" box keeps popping up no matter what image I attempt to watermark. Why would this action/command suddenly stop working?I switched back over to CS4 to test it out and it does not work there, either.
Thank you in advance,
Sarah

If you don't have the toggle dialog enabled in the action, then perhaps the file
your using for the watermark in no longer in the place (folder) where the action
thinks it should be.

You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.

HP Printer Driver not currently available from Software Update server

I have an iMac (early 2009) and an HP OfficeJet 6100 Series printer. I just upgraded my Apple Extreme Base Station and when I try to add the printer again thru the new Base Station the iMac says the software is available from the Apple Server but after searching it returns the following message: "Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet 6100 Series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." This has been going on for days. I have the driver installed already from having the printer connected via USB and via my old Base Station but cannot "see" the printer on my new Base Station without adding it again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Drew
