Problem with plug-ins on CS4

Please help.
Im a teacher at a secondary school, i have a nice shiny MacBook Pro and the full version on Creative Suit CS4 installed. Everything is up to date, and working. BUT. when i try to load the extract tool from Photoshop or use the Photomerge action i get the following message:
"Could not complete the Photomerge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in."
I have a DVD resource disc with these filters/action on it, but when i copy them from the disc to the appropriate folder on my HDD it STILL doesnt work.
Please help

Can you delete that user after?
As I'm new to Mac's and not too sure how to do that, but will give it a try.
Could it be down to the installation then? Would removing it and re-installing it help?

Safari problem with plug-ins

I'm having problems with plug-ins in Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7).
Within the past two days, Flash, and today, Java applets will not work in Safari. I get the following error messages:
"The page “The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."
"This page has content of MIME type “application/x-java-applet”, but you don’t have a plug-in for this MIME type. This page may have the plug-in for you to download and install:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u16/index.html
Do you want to open the page?"
Java worked as of 3/31. It was on that date, that I first noticed the Flash/Shockwave notices.
My 5 most recent updates through Software update were:
3/31/10 AirPort Base Station Update 5.5.1
3/31/10 iTunes 9.1
3/29/10 Mac OS X Update 10.6.3
3/24/10 Safari 4.0.5
2/7/10 iTunes 9.0.3
As of today, I have repaired disk permissions, reset Safari & emptied Safari's cache.
The plugins that are in my disk:library:Internet Plug-Ins folder are:
AdobePDFViewer, DivXBrowserPlugin, DRM Plugin, Flash Player, flashplayer.xpt, Flip4Mac, Google Earth, iPhotoPhotocast,ipxBrowserPlugin (folder), JavaPluginCocoa.bundle,NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave, npdivx.xpt, NPSVG3Carbon, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, QuartzComposer.webplugin, AuickTime Plugin, RealPlayer Plugin.
In my user:Library:Internet Plug-Ins folder are: fbplugin1_01 & fbplugin1_03.
This is all on my primary account, which is an administrator account.
FireFox loads the Flash/Shockwave just fine.
I created a new account, logged in with that, and it does not have the same problems. It can see the Flash content on the NY Times site fine.
Any suggestions on more things to do?
Thank you.

Hi Larry
re Mail - which may be a separate issue - many people have found that opening Java Preferences (Applications/Utilities/) & clicking both Restore Defaults buttons, stopped an 'attachments not showing
in Mail with missing plugin icon' problem.
In Safari - is it just Flash you don't see?
Try trashing Flash's settings & storage folder - Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
and a Flash cache folder - Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/
If no better, there must be a preference file awry in your usual account, or some extra software beyond those facebook plugins.

PSE 7.0 Problem with Plug-ins

Hi, I have the same problem as "Fred5222" in his post from Aug. 16, 2009.
I have installed a PSE 7.0 compatible Plug-in from www.alienskin.com, called "Bokeh" but PSE deos not take this Plug-in. That means, that I cannot
find any link to this prgramm in PSE. Normaly the link is to find under the entry "filters" in PSE, but there is nothing to find from "alien skin" or "Bokeh".
Meanwhile I had assistants from the support of alien skin, because they know about an installing problem of this software under PSE 7.0. But also
under consideration of the in this regard specific guidlines I didnt have success. I also tryed to make a link under preadjustments in PSE, but this also failed.
I also tryed other Plug-ins from alien skin, but all of them doent work together with PSE 7.0 although this software is listed under requirements.
What next? I have no more Idea.
Can you help?

Hi,
You can try this.
1. Launch PSE
2. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins
3. In the Additional Path, Provide the path of the Bokeh Plugin
4. Click OK
5. Relaunch PSE
I hope, it should work now.
Thanks,
Tarun

Problem with plug-ins

I can't seem to open iSync because there seems to be a problem with every plug-in. Thing is I am not sure if these plug-ins came with the recent update or whether they are part of a third party download. Does anyone recognise this problem or how I can deal with it?
Cheers, olly

I see what happened now...
You didn't have a problem "with every Feisar plug-in", because you actually only had one Feisar plugin installed (for the K800).
Looking at your other posts it appears you also had all the novamedia plugins installed too.
So, iSync was having a problem with every novamedia plug-in, not every Feisar plugin, because you didn't have every Feisar plugin installed.

Problem with plug-ins in Photoshop Elements 10

I imported plug-ins from CS3 to Photoshop Elements 10 plug-ins folder. Why do othey not show up in Filters in Photoshop Elements 10?

Just as a guess... they are not compatible... you need plugins that are compatible with the program you are using, not something written for a different program

Ai CS6 continues to not work- additional problem with plug-ins.

These messages came up while trying to open these two files. They open after clicking OK, but the applicaion bar is completley blank and with no tools showing.

Watch Illustrator as it boots to see of if initialzing plug ins is showing, or if it acts as if shift is being held down and boots really quick (most your keys commands would not work then).
Applications >> utilities >> disk Utility >> repair Permissions.
Reset your prefs: immediately after booting Ilustrator, hold down 3 keys: shift, command, opt
Go to applications >> Illustrator 6 >> Plug ins >> Illustrator Filters (is offset path there?) if not you may have something wrong with your install and many of your plug ins may be missing. The plug ins mentioned are mostly in 3 of the folders.
Check that your plug ins don't say somehting liek size is 0k. Here is the info for my plug in.

Problem with plug-ins (Noise Ninja & Topaz Denoise)

I've been trying to try demo of Noise Ninja & Topaz Denoise.
I continuously get following message:
Editing Error
This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format.
I've deleted aperture.plist and repaired permissions.
Does anyone have these working?
How?
Very frustrated.

I too have had nothing but problems with Topaz filters.
It seems they're not as Mac-friendly as the developer leads you to believe.
I've installed, had it working once, stopped working, uninstalled, deleted the Topaz Appliation support.
gone through the process again and again.
and it's nothing but problems.
I've given up and am hoping to find another developer who makes an easy to install plugin for Aperture.

Firefox plug in container has stopped working, even in safe mode with plug ins disabled

My firefox keeps crashing every 5 - 10 minutes. Sometimes I get a windows error message saying "firefox plugin container stopped working", but most times I don't. These are the actions I've taken so far, with no effect:
1. Updated all my plug-ins
2. Run firefox in safe mode with plug-ins disabled
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox
4. Run an AVG scan which turned up nothing
Can anyone offer advice on how to fix this (very annoying) problem?
I've had to write this in IE because firefox wouldn't stay open long enough for me to copy and paste it into the text box.

Try creating a new Profile by following the steps from [[Managing Profiles]] [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and also [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]

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.

Hi Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 I am unable to clear history and get the message "quick time failed to initialize". I can delete history when in safe mode with plug-ins disabled. Re-installing quick time fails to resolve the issue. Any ideas?

I am having trouble with plug-ins. How do I cure this? The last time I believe I had to update my operating system. My current operating sytstem is MAX OSx , Version 10.6.8

I am having trouble with plug-ins being blocked. I have an I-Mac, 2.4 Ghz processor, 2 GB memory, and using Safari as my browser. My operating system is MAC OSX Version 10.6.8

Any particular plugin or all of them? If Adobe Flash Player, try un-installing and then re-installing.

Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

Using a new PC with Windows 7. Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right." Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4. What next? I appreciate the help.

I have a disc in the same box that says CS3. I thought that was an older version. Should I try installing that disc first? It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate it.

It is looking for the qualifying product which entitles you to use the Illustrator CS4 update. Did you have an older version of Illustrator which upgraded from?

I uploaded a AI CS5 file into a Cloud Folder with Plug-ins. But its empty in Adobe Ideas.

I uploaded an AI CS5 file into a Cloud Folder with Plug-ins. But its empty in Adobe Ideas. I'd like to work on it with the touch version. Any ideas?

The link should have worked, I just clicked on it and went to the correct forum. Anyway, in the top left you should see a breadcrumb trail like Adobe Forums > Adobe Creative Cloud > Discussions. Click on Adobe Forums and click on the drop-down labeled Select Forum. Type 'i' to reach the i choices and select Ideas.

Tried to Download additional plug-ins for CS4 but having problems.

I just found out that CS4 doesn't have the extract filter, so I went to this link to download additional plug-ins:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047
I downloaded it, but I'm having trouble installing it. The instructions tell me to "navigate to the application
folder, double-click Setup, and then follow the on-screen instructions" but there's not application folder or Setup. I also tried opening the download, selecting English>Googies>Optional Plug-Ins>Filters>Extractplus.plugin, but it says "cannot complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I'm at a complete loss here. All I want is the Extract Filter. I've tried 2 different downloads, both to no avail. Please help!

I don't quite follow?
The only document you need to read is the "OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf" in the Goodies/Optional plug-ins folder on your mounted diskimage of your downloaded.
Here you'll find all the instructions on where to put the files.

Problem with thumbnails in Bridge CS4

I was having a problem with Adobe Bridge crashing on me when I was looking at a large amount of images - like all my 2011 images. I'd read online that I needed to purge my cache and delete my preferences by holding down the ctrl key when starting Bridge and choosing all three options to "reset preferences", "purge entire thumbnail cache" and "reset standard workspace".
I did this, but it really did not solve my problem. I'm still working on that. It did create a problem that all my raw files show up without thumbnails, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to regenerate these thumbnails. I've tried downloading the camera raw plugin and installing that again and it does not help.
My raw files are from a Pentax K100d and are pef files.
I went back to some old photos, in my 2010 folder. When it first came up it showed the thumbnail for just a brief moment. It then went blank and then up popped that stupid little flower icon that I seen when there is no thumbnail.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for your response.
I am running 64 bit Vista. I have CS4 and found that the latest version of Camera Raw that I could install was version 5.7. I found the install instructions on the Adobe site. As it told me to do, I downloaded the zip file for version 5.7 and extracted. I moved the Camera Raw.8bi file from the top directory into C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats and moved the Camera Raw.8bi file from the Win64 folder into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats.
Does this look right to you?
I can double-click on any of my raw "pef" files and I can edit them in Camera Raw, no problem. I can also look at the "about Camera Raw" and see that it shows version 5.7.
It just won't generate thumbnails.
This worked in the past. What happened to mess things up is a long story. I got a new camera, a Nikon D5100. What I did not realize was that this camera was too new for CS4 to be able to recognize. The updates that include this camera are only for CS5. At some point after I got this camera and came home with a ton of vacation pictures - saved as Raw + Jpg (so I had a ton of photos) bridge started crashing. I don't know if it was the size and or number of photos that I was trying to have visible in Bridge at one time or what. I started Goggling what could be the problem. I found one source say that I needed to reset the preferences and such and that I should start Bridge while holding the ctrl key and choose all three items to reset. I did this and my thumbnails that were there for all my old photos shot with my Pentax k100d went away. I just see a flower icon in their place. I've not been able to get them back. I have since moved all those big photo files to another folder and the crashing has stopped. Now I just have the problem that I caused.
What bothers me is that I saw a post here in this forum that says to never use the "purge cache" option from the edit > preferences box in Bridge. I can't find this post again. I have done this also before I saw that. I have also moved my cache to another location so that it had to create a new one. Still this does not work. I've restarted Bridge, rebooted, "purged the cache for the selection" and "generate high quality thumbnail". Nothing I've tried works.
Would reinstalling Bridge help? Do I have to install all of Photoshop? Do I have to uninstall first?
