Problem Installing a Plug-In

I am trying to install a plug-in, but keep getting the following error message: "Sorry; there is a space in your home directory path. MacOS makes it difficult to do that by accident. Contact your administrator for information on how to fix this." I have verified and repaired my permissions on my hard disk. Otherwise I have no idea.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

It doesn't sound like a permissions problem to me -- it sounds like an account setup problem. I wonder if you've migrated to your new MacBook Air from some Apple setup you've had for a long time.
Anyway, here's what seems to be the related article:

Problems installing plug-ins (and even Adobe updates) to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

Problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop. (Same CS5 and plug-ins installed OK several years ago on a Vista laptop. Now I'm just trying to migrate everything over to the new laptop.) Even some Adobe updates won't install. Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." Any solution?

CS5's automatic update mechanism is broken, perhaps because it is no longer updated and can't cope with the newer ways of updating.
So this means you will have make a list of the updates that failed, go here: Product updates
and manually download/install from there.

Installation problems installing new Canon MG3170 onto MAC Book Pro with OS X 10.7.5. Tried installing using set up disk. Didn't work. Uninstalled files and downloaded drivers from Canon Website. Didn't work. Uninstalled again and plugged printer usb

Having problems installing Canon MG3170. Anyone have any solutions? Here is what I have tried:-
-Installed from provided Canon disk, firstly with wireless connection, then using USB connection. Printer could not be added because the Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple for both types of connections.
-Uninstalled software from the Canon disk, checked for software updates, then downloaded drivers (printer and scanner) from Canon Website. Again tried to install using wireless connection then USB connecton. Printer could not be added because Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple
-Uninstalled drivers downloaded direct from Canon Website and plugged printer into Macbook using USB, Macbook recognised the printer and searched for the software, again Macbook returns that hte software is not available from Apple.
Help!

nrg adjusta,
Sorry it took me a while to repsond, Ive been pretty busy with school and work. But for my hard drive problem, I did hours and hours of more research and trying countless ways of installing and tweaking things in my laptop and absolutely nothing worked that I could do. It was very irritating because I felt like I was so close to fixing it and I was just missing a step somewhere. Though It still boggles me why the disk utility shows a different capacity for the HD's. One thing I'm going to try next is replacing the hard drive cable that goes from the internal HD to the macbook. I read somewhere that sometimes those can go bad over time, and also if you get a new, modern hard drive, sometimes the old cable (for some odd reason) might not be compatible with the new HD. So i want to test it out for myself to see it that is the actual culprit.
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Hard-Drive-Cable/IF186-018
Once I get the cable and install it I'll let you know the results and if it helped at all.
Have you made any progress on your hard drive at all? If worst comes worst for you, you can probably get a SATA to USB cable and try to reformat it that way (this is the way that worked for me, but the only problem was it wouldn't be recognized when I installed it internally. Thats why i want to try getting the new cable), and if it still wont recognize it after that, you can just leave it outside of your mac, and just boot from that. The only thing that ***** about that is you have this big hard drive handing off the side of your mac when ever you need to use it.
Heres a link for a SATA to USB. this one is good because is compact and protects the HD from damage and most static electricity.

Im still continuing my search for the answer and once i find it (if ever!) I'll post it.

Having Problems installing 3rd Party Plug-in

I cannot get WinMorph 3.01 to install into Premiere Pro CS5.5 on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
WinMorph installer want me to install its plug-in into the same folder as where the exe file is located: (C:/'Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5).
When the above is selected, WinMorph will install the plug-in into the Plug-ins folder there: (C:/'Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5/Plug-ins, but WinMorph will not work.
The Premiere Pro manual want me to install it in: (C:/Program Files/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS5.5/MediaCore). However, WinMorph will not allow me to install it there or anywhere except where the exe file is located and that installs, but does not work. Yes, I tried to copy the two plug-in files (knowing this will not work) into the correct location, but that would not work. Idea's anyone?
Now what do I do? Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tom
BTW: The program is lots of fun as a stand alone. I just wished I could get it to work in Premiere Pro.

The plugins go here: Hard Drive/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins.
If you cloned your older system or archived the plugs, you can just drop them all back in that folder and be up and running in minutes. You need to authenticate with your admin password to initiate the copy process.
The only other thing is, you will have to enter the serial number for purchased plugs to activate them.
Go for it.
Doin' great btw. You too?

Problems Installing Plug-ins

I recently found this cool little plug-in that would let iTunes use my media direct buttons even when iTunes was running the background, but I've had trouble installing the Plug-in. According to Apple my iTunes data files should be located under User and then my user name etc. However, my iTunes is located in my program files and no plug in file exists. There is also a file for Mozilla plug ins under the iTunes directory and am curious if this could be conflicting with iTune's capacity for plug ins. I've also tried creating a plug in folder under the mymusic/iTunes/iTunes plug-ins, but didn't accomplish anything ( I didn't expect it too since that method of installing plug ins is used for XP and I'm running Vista). I've tried putting it under the general directory of itunes and the Mozilla plug ins but neither have had the desired effect of activating the plug in. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story............... iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!

Hi SivaKumar,
Yes I am using SP13 and I went through the note you referred.
I am still confused, because my problem is not exactly reflecting in the note.
I have no applications assgined to my DC as such.
I am just trying to test this - that if I change the language parameter and set the condition which is false, that change should not reflect on the client.
What do you think I can do about it?

Driver issue-problem installing hardware

I installed the latest update to iTunes yesterday. Now, when I connect my IPod to my PC, I get the following error message:
"There was a problem installing this hardware-apple IPOD USB driver-An Error Occurred During the Installation of this device. The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request."
I have searched for an updated driver, but I keep getting the same error message as above. The iPod shows up in device manager, but with a yellow exclamation point next to it. It says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)." I've also reinstalled the driver.cab file from my Windows installation disk, but none of this has resolved this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I've resolved this issue. I used SYSTEM RESTORE to find a restore point from before I upgraded iTunes. When I went to start iTunes after restoration it didn't want to start, so I had to go to the Apple web site to download and reinstall iTunes. It seems to be working now though some of my music didn't initially sync from the library to my iPod because my computer wasn't "authorized" according to the error message. All I did then was attempt to play oe of the songs that wouldn't sync and I got prompted for my iTunes password, plugged that in and everything seems to have synced just fine.

Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA_1_2_3.zip on Mac

Problems installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip on Mac? Preamble: st gen Vado HD
macbook pro running OS X Snow leopard 0.6.2
I'm having a tough time installing the Vado Central SW on my Mac. I tried installing VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6, too. Similar results with both, I get a message "Installation failed."? This comes as no surprise since my mac never installs anything without prompting for an administrator login. So, I ignored the instructions to plug in the Vado after the installation was complete, and plugged it in and tried re-installing the software with the Vado as the installation destination.... which makes sense since it seems to run the Windows Vado Central from the Vado. VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA__2_3.zip would not let me select any device except the mac hard dri've.
With VadoCentral_MAC_APP_LA___0_df6 I was able to install change the install location to the Vado HD device. It appears to have created an applications folder containing Vado Central.app. But, now when I plug in the Vado, it still automatically starts iPhoto. If I browse the Vado and double click the Vado Central.app, OS X first prompts, asking me if I want to install the application to the local computer. Click "No", then I get prompted that Vado Central rquires the flv2ITunes transcorder downloaded and installed. Click "Yes", then I'm prompted that a newer version of Vado Central is available, "Do you want to download...", click "Yes". It downloads and installs somewhere, but apparently not on the Vado, because it puts me through all of this every time. Whatever/whereever the software is being updated, it's not changing the Vado Cental.app on the Vado, based on the timestamp.
Can somebody provide the correct installation instructions? The minimal instructions on the Creative download page appear to be wrong. (I've looked at the other threads complaining about the mac installation, they don't seem to match my experience.)
TIA

I have a Vado HD 2nd generation. I use it exclusi'vely on my MacBook.
The firmware version that my Vado came with is "v.250.
I found out the version on my unit by holding down the Delete button
while turning the unit on.
Is it possible that your unit is not installing v.23 because your unit already has a later version?
Hope this helps.

Can't use Adobe Extension Manager to Install Photoshop plug-in

I am trying to install a plug-in from PSKiss to Photoshop CS5 (version 12.0.4). I'm using Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5, and I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop.
Although I'm following up with PSKiss to see if there's a problem at this end, I also see an issue with Adobe Extension Manager. When I open it, the Install button is grayed-out. I can see neither of the plug-ins I've already installed in Photoshop, nor can I install anything new. I am running Adobe Extension Manager as Administrator—and I've tried every way I can think of to do that.
Also, yes, I'm using my laptop with an Administrator account.
What's going on? What am I missing? Please help if you can. Thanks!

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?

MIFI4620LE Jetpack blinking amber light--does this mean the battery is bad? Should the unit operate without the battery installed if plugged in?

MIFI4620LE Jetpack blinking amber light--does this mean the battery is bad? Should the unit operate without the battery installed if plugged in?

The MIFI4620LE Jetpack does not work without a battery installed, even when connected to an external power supply.
I personally think that was a dumb design. I would think the unit would use more electricity when continually charging the battery than just powering the unit it's self, but that's the way Novatel made them.
If your Jetpack works with the battery installed and connected to an external power supply, but does not power on with power supply disconnected, I would say that the battery is defective or worn out.
You should be able to go to a nearby Verizon Store and have them either test the battery or put a new one in it to see if it works. Then you will know if you need to spend the $$ for a new battery. OR if you always use your Jetpack at home, or in your car, just use the old battery connect to a power supply or your cigarette lighter and save the cash.
As the Customer Support person stated, the slow blinking amber light is a normal state when the Jetpack is turned on and connected to Verizon's service.
I hope this solves your problem.

Problems installing flash player. Learner

I am experienceing problems installing flash player. I go to the adobe website and install the program and I am told it has been successfully installed. No flash player icon apppears on my desktop. When I press the windows start icon and click on "all programs" there is no evidence of the flash player. However when I click on" my computer" icon and go into uninstall/change the flash player program is there.I have spent quite some time installing, uninstalling and installing again without success
I am using windows Vista. I am also using Kaspsersky Internet security. It is a private computetr so I do not think I need administrators permission. I have tried installing flash player using both interner explorer and Mozilla firefox.Please can anyone help. Many thanks.

Shane, since you must be having problems getting a thread started, I'll just go ahead and try to help you here.
Use IE and go to Help and click on About Internet Explorer. It should tell you sp1 or sp2.
Also using IE, go to Tools, click on Manage add ons and look in all add ons for Shockwave Flash Object. Let me know if it is Enabled and if it is version 10.0.45.2 or says Flash10e.ocx.
Then switch over to FF (Firefox) and find the plug-in SWF version 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is listed and Enabled.
Post this info back to me.
Thanks,

Installing DS Plug-in for Identity Synchronization for Windows

Hello! We installed Sun Java Communications Suite 5 (with Directory Server Enterprise 6.0) on Linux Red Hat ES.
Now We want install Identity Synchronitation for Windows but there isn't the supported version for Linux red Hat ES (only for Linux Red Hat AS, Windows 200-2003 and Solaris).
I thought that it isn't a problem: I install Identity Synchronization on Windows 2003 and I can synchronize my LDAP on Red Hat ES and my AD on Windows. But I have this question: can I install the Directory Server Plug-in on Red Hat ES?
If the answer is not, I have to migrate my LDAP to another supported platform. Can I install the Directory Server Enterprise Edition version I have in Sun Java Communications Suite 5, or is it better that I install the new Directory server Enterprise Edition version?
Thank you very much

Hello Nicolas,
Thank you for taking the time to look into this. I am very much aware of your great blog entry and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for posting it. It's just that I don't find PSEM plug-in version 8.51 on edelivery for Linux x86 32-bit to install it, that's why I used version 8.52. Maybe I missing something on edelivery ... Can you point me to where PSEM plug-in version 8.51 for Linux x86 32-bit exists and I can try that instead ? This is the link I use and I don't see version 8.51:
https://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/Download/get_form?egroup_aru_number=14217144
FYI, the error gets raised immediately after I supply the host name for the grid control, SYS password , port 1521 and then click next :( . The installation continues after that but doesn't install the plug-in.
Quick question since you are here :) : in PeopleBooks they say to uninstall the PSEM plug-in, run the script @PSEMDROPALL.sql , but they didn't mention which user to run against (I should know but unfortunately I don't), whom should I run this script against SYS or SYSMAN ?
Regards.
