Unable to locate Plug-Ins folder - Mac

I've searched the path listed on Adobe's site to install the latest Camera Raw update (Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats), and noticed I only have up to the Adobe level of folder listed.
So on my computer I can only get to Library/Application Support/Adobe, then there is no folder for Plug-Ins.
So, where am I supposed to load the software update? Should I create the missing folders?
I have CS3 running on Leopard if that helps any.

>Should I create the missing folders?
b No!
You are looking at the wrong Library. You need the root-level library,
b NOT
the one in your username or Home folder.

  • Cannot find "Plug-ins" folder for Photoshop CS6 on my Mac.

    I cannot find ”Plug-ins" folder for Photoshop CS6 on my Mac. Path suppose to be Macintosh HD > Applications 
> Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Plug-Ins but that folder is missing. Any suggestion on how to find it?

    Thank you Hans,
    If I understand it correctly, way to install extensions/plugins on Mac is
    following
    "Quit Photoshop, then copy the desired plug-ins (or extensions) to the
    following locations:
    Mac OS:
       - Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Plug-ins folder
       - Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder"
    In my case it would be the last path, as I have CS6.
    However, my problem is that Plug-ins folder is missing

  • Cannot find the plug-ins folder for photoshop elements 6

    Hi,
    I was trying to update the plug-in for camera raw for PE6, downloaded the update however in the instructions it tells me to go to the root folder in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats and replace the camera raw plug in.
    there is no plug-ins folder in the library/application support/adobe folder. Is there somewhere else I should be looking ?
    I am running a Mac with yosemite.
    thanks in advance,

    You are probably in the wrong library. You have three libraries on your mac: your username>library, system>library (never mess with that one), and the library at the top level of your hard drive, which is the one you want. It's not exactly hidden, but it's very hard to get to. The easiest way is to go to the Finder preferences>sidebar>show these items in the sidebar,  and turn on Hard disks. Then when you open a new finder window, you will see your hard drive in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library will be at the top level of results on the right side of the window.

  • [ID CS6] Having the project build directly into the Plug-ins folder - Xcode

    Hello everyone
    I'm just starting to develop plugins for InDesign CS6 on Mac OS X. After building the project, I currently move manually the plugin into the Plug-ins folder. It is said in the documentation that for having them directly into the Plugins folder, we need to specify it in the ID_SDK_DIR variable in each Target on Xcode. However, I can't find that variable anywhere and I have no idea what I should do in order to accomplish it.
    Thank you in advance for your help, and I'm sorry if it's a very naive question.
    Regards,
    Dave

  • When I try to install some plugins I get "Can't find Internet Plug-ins folder". Friends with the same machine using the same browser can download just fine.  What gives?

    When I try to install a plugin in any browser on my Mac Mini or my MacBook Pro, I get a "Can't find Internet Plug-Ins folder" message.  Other friends with the same machines can install the plugin just fine.  We can't find any reason why the plugin won't install on mine.  Any ideas out there?
    Thanks,

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Can't scan after moving ImportModules to Plug-Ins folder.

    I purchased Photoshop Elements 12 a couple of months ago. At that time, I was able to scan images after moving the the ImportModules folder to the Plug-Ins folder. However, I had to reinstall Mac OS 10.3 after repairs were made. Elements would not scan. I uninstalled Elements and reinstalled it from the original disk. Then, I moved the ImportModules folder back over to the Plug-Ins folder. I still can't scan, which is one of the primary purposes of having this software. What is going on?

    Yes, 10.9.3. I could scan before, but not after the repair. I can scan, now, with Preview, but not with PSE 12. I have two scanners: (a) Cano LiDE 210, and (b) CanoScan 2400F. Neither work now, but both worked before the repair and reinstallation.

  • Plug-Ins folder paths

    How do people go about installing their plugins on different languages? It seems like Adobe is localizing the name of the Plug-Ins folder depdending on the language the system is installed on or maybe it's their localized installers doing it. In any case, i need to find out the correct paths for these languages:
    English
    French
    German
    Italian
    Spanish
    Japanses
    Simplified Chinese
    Does anyone know where i can find these?
    thx

    This gets asked a lot, so perhaps folks can post information for the languages they know about.
    A German customer of mine reported that the plug-ins directory for CS2 on his Windows XP system is
    AdobeCS2\Zusatzmodule
    And the following subdirectories are localized as follows
    "Effects" = "Effekte"
    "File Formats" = "Dateiformat"
    "Filters" = "Filter"
    "Import-Export" = "Importieren-Exportieren"
    I'd like to know the equivalents for French systems.

  • Where is the FC Studio plug ins folder?

    Hi,
    Basic question here. I am trying to install a few new noise reduction filters in Final Cut since Compressor is quickly dying before my eyes!
    Where in the world is the Final Cut Studio plug ins folder? It used to be Library - App Support - Final Cut Pro - Plug Ins, but in the new Final Cut Studio world, it is in a different spot.
    Does anyone know where it is? Thanks!

    Quick tip:
    Library/somewhere/somewhere else -is always the main Library directory at the top level of your hard drive.
    ˜/Library or, your name/Library is the directory specific to your user space.
    * This is information is for your disambiguation. We hope that you feel disambiguated.

  • Extension Manager removing the whole Plug-ins folder along with the panel

    When I click "Remove" from the Extension Manager interface, the following has occurred--
    In CS6 - When I used the Extension Manager to "remove" by clicking the "remove" button,  it removes not just the panel I installed but has removed the folders "Plug-ins>Panels>my panel". The whole hierarchy!
    In CS5 - it has left the Plug-ins folder but removed  "Panels>my panel"
    In CS4 - the Extension Manager is working correctly for installing and removing without removing any shell folders.
    Question #1 - What do I do about my missing plug-ins for these applications? This is disastrous!
    Question #2 - Is there a way to fix the CS5 and CS6 Extension Manager to not delete the shell folders, when you are just trying to remove a custom panel????
    My system:
    Windows Vista Ultimate
    Service Pack 2
    Processor Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9650 @3.00GHz
    Memory (RAM) 8.00GB
    System-64-bit
    Hard Drives C: 1Terabyte - 301GB available
    Z: 1 Terabyte - 309GB available

    Also here is more info that might be germane--
    I am using Extend Script Toolkit CS6 3.8.0.12 ExtendSript 2.12 ScriptUI 6.1.8 to edit and generate 1 .mxi file for use in CS5 & CS6 and another .mxi file for use in CS4.
    I open the Adobe Extension Manager for CS5 to create the .mxp files for CS5 & CS6
    I double click on the .mxp file and it automatically opens Adobe Extension Manager CS6 and installs the panel into Photoshop CS6
    I manually open Adobe Extension Manager CS5 it is sluggish to open and shows a progress bar. Then I do a File>Open to install the panel into Photoshop CS5.
    In the testing of various iterations of mypanel, I have removed the previous version of mypanel, so there is nothing showing as enabled or installed in the EM. So, are you kind of saying that if I hadn't emptied out the panel but had left my own panels in there as just disabled, rather than "removed" that the rest of the whole Plug-ins folder would still be there. Leaving something in there would have been like saving an empty seat for a friend at the theater?
    The Versions of Adobe Extension Manager that I am using are:
    CS6 version 6.0.2.40
    CS5 version 5.0.334
    CS4 Version 2.1.112 (which appears to be working as it should!)

  • I copied my PS CS5 Plug Ins folder into my CS6  one & it started having problems opening & errors...

    I copied my PS CS5 Plug Ins folder into my CS6  one & it started having problems opening & errors... would someone be able to tell me what the basic/original ones should be in PS CS^6 Plug In folder please?

    That would be any other plug-ins you've installed after Photoshop.  Out of the box that folder is completely empty with Photoshop CS6.
    To be completely accurate, what you did wrong was that you copied plug-ins that were supplied by Adobe with the earlier version of Photoshop.  Those plug-ins logically conflict with the current ones Adobe supplies with Photoshop, which are now provided in another place.
    They've changed the folder structure, so no longer are any plug-ins supplied by Adobe put in that folder.  Hopefully for a future version update you can copy those you have in Photoshop CS6 without getting yourself into the same trouble.

  • Why is there no plug-ins folder in my Library/Application Support/Adobe/ folder?

    As with many other users, the "Open in Camera Raw" option is grayed out in Bridge CS6.
    I downloaded the suggested plug-in and tried to follow the path: Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS6/File Formats folder
    But there's no Plug-Ins folder under Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    I'm going to the Library folder that comes up when I click Go while holding down Option.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Okay, I went to Home and then ~/Library and clicked Shift+Command+G -- and there's till no Plug-Ins folder under Library/Application Support/Adobe.

    Thank you very,very much for helping me out, i didnt even think about the fact that Elements plug ins may not even work with Photoshop jCS5 so thanks for setting me straight on that.  I really want those plug ins but ever since i installed CS5 i cant get my Photoshop Elements 8 program open, it opens and a split second later it shuts down  and have no idea why.  I was using Elememts that day that i installed CS5 so i know it worked prior to the install of cs5.  I am using windows 7 64bit.  I put a phone call into Adobe who said they would call me back in 8 min and that was at least 2 hrs ago.  I am not to computer literate so i dont dare start messing with files until i get instructions from someone who does know what there doing. 
    Also, in response to the question about how i got the Topaz plug ins into Elements, well, i installed like normal and then had to copy the file into the Elements folder, it worked perfectly, that was Topaz instructed people to do if they didnt show up when you ran the auto installer.  I will get ahold of topaz and see if there is anything I can do about "exchanging' my elements serial number for a CS serial number, its worth a try anyway becasue i just bought them and I love what they do.
    thanks again to all of you who helped me out on this issue.
