Updating plug ins from CS2 to CS3

I have written a grifics intense book in the trial version of CS3 (which has expired.)  I was given CS2 Premium but cannot open my documents because I am needing to "update" plugins.
How do I do this?  and where do I get them?
Cheryl

What program? If it's InDesign you'll need to save the file back via INX.

  • IDCS3 WinXP SP2 - Third Party Plug-in from CS2 to CS3

    I've upgraded to CS3 with no problems - except for trouble with a third party plug-in. We installed SBREFX.pln, a cross reference plug-in, in our CS2. While many of our CS2 documents don't actually use this plug-in, it was installed when those documents were created.
    When opening these docs in CS3, an error message appears stating that the plug-in is not found. (There is no CS3 version of this plug-in, not do we really need it anymore.) While we can bypass the error message, we cannot "package" the CS3 publication for service provider as long as the plug-in is not installed.
    The only work-around we've found is to start a new doc in CS3, load the para styles, swatches, master pages, etc from the old CS2 file and copy and paste all the pages from CS2 version to new CS3 doc. VERY time consuming.
    We've also tried opening the document in CS2 and managing the plug-ins. But we cannot find a way to turn off, or disable, this cross reference plug-in in CS2. Our thought was to be able to disable it, save the CS2 file, then open that with CS3, hopefully with no plug-in errors.
    I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

    Bob,
    Could Dawne have solved this by inx round tripping in CS2 and then opening the new cleansed CS2 file in CS3?
    As I understand it, the fix works because inx does not support the plug-in references. So it should work as well in CS2. Is that correct?
    Thanks,

  • Transferring plug-ins from CS3 to CS6 in Creative Cloud?

    How do I transfer plug ins from CS3 to CS 6?

    You may want to re-download the plugins from where you bought them and install them fresh for CS6. Or at a minimum check to see if new CS6 versions are available. The underlying architecture changed for plug-ins when CS6 was released. Some developers had to re-write CS6 versions. Some may work, while others may have had to be updated to work with CS6.

  • Upgrade Photoshop from CS2 to CS3 in Macintosh

    I am currently using Photoshop CS2 Mac version and DO NOT have CS3 beta version installed. I have couple installation questions whose answers are hard to find anywhere else, hope I can find them from this forum.
    Since I heard a lot of troubles regarding upgrading PS from CS2 to CS3 if there is CS3 beta version already installed in Mac, I am a little be nervous. Here is my questions:
    1. Can CS2 and CS3 co-exist?
    2. Do I have to manually uninstalled CS2 prior to upgrading? If yes, how do I do it? I am assuming that CS3 upgrade should have a program to uninstall previous versions of PS, am I correct?
    3. How do I deal with my current registration?
    4. I have third-party plug-ins such as OnOne Mask Pro 4.0, nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 installed in CS2. What's the right procedure I should take to avoid their re-installation?
    5. I also have Lightroom installed now, will CS3 upgrade affect it? Do I need to take any action?
    Thank you very for help!
    Regards,
    Howard

    Patrick,
    Welcome to the Macintosh. Glad the transition has worked well for you. A few quick points, here:
    1. Download the combo update to Mac OS X 10.4.11 from the Apple site.
    2. Any software that came from the previous owner must be Apple software that is included with the operating system; or, if other Apple or third party software (including Adobe or Microsoft), it must have a valid license that has been transfered to your name and you must have all discs. Otherwise, it must be deleted in order for you to be legal.
    3. The best current utilities for maintaining and optimizing your computer include: Apple's own Disk Utility (on your Mac OS system disc); Alsoft DiskWarrior; and Maintain Cocktail. Other very good tools include: Roxio Toast (for disc burning); SuperDuper! (for complete system backups); and FontAgentPro (for organizing and maintaining large numbers of fonts). Whether you just print family snapshots or you do four-color commercial printing, you need to calibrate your monitor. Look into the Spyder3 or EyeOne calibrators.
    Also note that it is important to repair permissions and run DiskWarrior when you install or upgrade any software on your system. As the specifics of these have been detailed numerous times in this forum, I recommend that you do a forum search for the details.
    4. If you already have installed CS2, then you only need to purchase the upgrade version of CS3.
    I hope this helps!

  • Can't ck for updated plug-ins. Firefox just circles endlessly.

    can't access msn jigsaw puzzles. Wanted to check for updated plug-ins. Fox circles endlessly for up to 2 mins., never connects.

    The instructions are not contradictory, since you reported two different issues:
    ''AliceWyman [[#answer-688813|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Your '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin may be disabled in the Firefox Add-ons Manager Plugins list, since I don't see it in your list of plugins. <sub>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130896 Bug 1130896] - Plugin check gets stuck if Java runtime disabled and Java Deployment toolkit enabled.</sub>
    To enable the Java plugin, see the article, [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]] under [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-java-plugin-to-view-interactive-content#w_enabling-java Enabling Java]. That article also explains how to update Java, if your version is outdated.
    </blockquote>
    I wrote that because you said you ''can't access msn jigsaw puzzles'' but you didn't give a link to that problem website. I was assuming the problem site needs the '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin (which is DIFFERENT from the "java deployment toolkit" plugin) to be enabled and working. If the '''Java(TM) Platform''' plugin is outdated and vulnerable you need to update it. The article I linked above has more information.
    ''philipp [[#answer-688807|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    hello donnaofmaryland, please try the following: go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > plugins, set the "java deployment toolkit" to never activate and then try to use the plugincheck page again...
    </blockquote>
    This advice was to get the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check] page working. Only thing, I just tried that page and it isn't working at all for me. The PluginCheck website could be having problems. You can also update Java by going to java.com directly or you can use the Update option in the Java Control Panel (details in the article [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]] which I linked to before).

  • Updating plug-ins, about reaearching.

    I know virtually nothing about how to manage/update plug-ins, I have several that say 'research' But when I research, it's so complicated I just don't understand what to do next, Help....
    I am using Windows XP Pro 32 bit V 3.0
    Sylvia

    Firefox may pick up plugins that actually are not important to you, because Firefox picks them up from the Windows registry where external programs can freely list them. So... if you discover plugins with no known value, you might consider disabling them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    That probably will reduce your research burden.
    Generally speaking, if a plugin is associated with another program, then you can keep the plugin up-to-date by updating that program. Adobe Reader and iTunes would be examples of that.
    If there are plugins you're really curious about, you could post more information about those. On my test page, there is a list of your currently active plugins that you can copy and paste: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp

  • Upgrade from CS2 to CS3? (for Windows XP)

    Hi, guys. I'm new here. And I only signed up for the forums so I could ask someone for help!! Haha! So, here goes......
    I recently started using Adobe CS2.
    I signed up for the 30 day trial of RadLab by Totally Rad. It worked fine, but my trial expired before I could finish the photos I had been editing. So I uninstalled the RadLab trial, signed up for a new trial with a different e-mail address, and re-installed it. Only, this time, RadLab wouldn't work. So I contacted Totally Rad and the guy told me that RadLab won't work on CS2. It has to be CS3 or higher. (I'm still confused as to how RadLab worked for 30 days on my CS2 if it supposedly only works on CS3 or higher)...
    So, now, I am looking to upgrade from CS2 to CS3... but I don't know where to look. I tried Google, but nothing seems to match what I'm looking for. I would hate to upgrade all the way up to CS5, because I don't think my PC could handle it. (I've been told that CS5 takes up a lot of room, and I don't think my computer is strong enough to hold it all. My memory capabilities are very limited. Even with CS2, I couldn't open/edit much all at once.)
    I say all that, to ask this...
    How do I go about upgrading from CS2 to CS3, and it not cost me an arm and a leg? I'm on a super-tight budget ($150 is the absolute highest I'm willing to go). I'm unemployed and money is extremely tight.
    Thank you in advance for your help!!

    I don't want to burst your bubble about using Photoshop CS3, but I would expect any software with good trialware security to not work twice on the same system no matter whether you sign up with a different eMail address.  They'd be stupid not to have it work that way.
    If you need the software to get your project done, why not actually buy it?
    You're no doubt expecting to derive value from your project...  Shouldn't the people who worked to create the software you're using derive some value from their work as well?
    I can appreciate your being on a budget, but the old saying "if you want to play you have to pay" comes to mind.  I'm sorry to be blunt.

    Is following message due to 'Java' setting left unchecked?
    Mac OSX supportsUser Authentication Mechanism (UAM) plug - ins from other manufacturers to control access to servers.To use a UAM, copy the plug - in to: Library/ Filesystems/ AppleShare/ Authenti

    Man that is an ancient message.
    The last time I saw that was using Mac clients connected to a Microsoft (Windows) Server running 'Services for Macintosh' which included the ability to act as an AppleShare compatible file server. Because Microsoft have a different security system for defining accounts which includes the 'domain' as well as username, the standard Mac AFP client did not know how to send that information.
    Therefore Apple made it possible to installed a plugin in the form of a UAM or User Authentication Mechanism which added the ability to send this information to login to the fileserver.
    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/101747
    However Microsoft have long discontinued 'Services for Macintosh' and now the only way for a Mac to connect to a standard Windows Server is via SMB not AFP. I don't believe this plugin is available to download anymore.

    Hi Joe ..
    You can disable plug-ins.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Allow Plug-ins
    To remove internet plug-ins is another process altogether.

  • How to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?

    how to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?
    Thank you.

    Hi ,
    Your windows is 32 bit or 64 bit .
    If win 7 32 bit
    Just copy the plugin from PSE 11 and paste it to PSE 13 plug-in folder.
    If win 7 64
    PSE 11 and PSE 13 are installed as a 32 and 64 bit respectively , so you need to install plug-in again.
    Thanks,

  • Get Plugin Finding Service Error for weeks & weeks now - can't update plug-ins, need download .pdf doc, but says adobe unstable, plug-in needs update. now what

    Want to download .pdf doc, but pop-up says it's unstable, need update plug-in. Tried to update, got error message, with "try later". Same for weeks now. Tried check for updates, Firefox is up to date, clicked update plug-ins... it tries, then again... same error message: "Plugin Finding Service Error. Please try again later".
    Been so long now -- when becomes a mighty big question. Looked in forum, no joy.
    Please, can someone tell me -- what's the go. I'm absolutely no good with computers, but this needs to get fixed. Should I stop using Firefox or what?
    Thanks for your help.
    Happy 2013 to all.
    PS. (added a couple days later)
    I'm told I should have added my next question in reply to TylerDowner here, instead of as I did. Sorry if that's so (really?) but I didn't even realize I could edit this.
    So... TylerDowner, thanks very much for your reply, and please would you -- or anyone else who might be able to help -- see my first reply to you below. (seems a waste to slot in here again)
    Feelin even dumber, (ha-ha)
    raaraa

    Tylerdowner -- >> thank you << for your reply, and my sincere apologies for this delayed response (probs, hospital, blah-blah, you don't want to know).
    Have tried to download via that link but not sure if successful. Very slow dial-up connection is the pits. Waited hours 'n hours, fell asleep in chair even, finally had to give in and go to bed, left it going. Server does time out every 8-12 hours, so not sure how long it went. The download appeared complete -- ie, did not show any note of failure. Not sure if it would -- some things in the past haven't.
    Anyway, had success downloading one much older .pdf file, but the link for one I wanted had expired, and I don't know anything else to try. Tried a couple of other links I have, not sure of age of file -- on clicking link, the browser opened, but nothing more happened.
    Wondering -- is the download available in separate pieces instead of one big one? Perhaps worth trying again that way?
    Please, if you would be forgiving, and persist with me a little further/longer -- would you make your recommendation/s for next step/s please?
    Hope you're in a safe, comfortable place. So many places in the world suffering with extremes of all kinds.

  • Transferring GB plug-ins from computer to computer

    I recently transferred all my Garage Band loops and plug-ins from my old G4 to my new iMac. Unfortunately the plug-ins don't work. I have copied the .au components to the Library> Audio> Plug-Ins> Components folder but no success with the plug-ins.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    they're probably all PowerPC plug-ins, and not "universal". PPC plug-ins will not work on an intel mac.
