Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
Plug-ins that failed to load:
   DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION - - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
   Connections
   Kuler
This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

Anyone know what can cause the MXI-3 and PXI-1010 chassis to prevent PC bootup?

Situation: The PC locked up with the display blank. The PC would not bootup (not even POST) after power was cycled (several attempts).
Resolution: Simple. The chassis power was cycled and the PC was fully operational.
Background: The PC is a Dell Dimension 733 running WIN98 and used daily for production test. The test program is a combination of TestStand, instrument dll's and Labview.

Hi,
If the pci-mxi-3 is locking up the computer the most common cause for this is a bad mxi-3 card. To check this you will want to try the mxi-3 card and chassis with another type of computer. If it doesn't boot in more than one computer of different types you will want to return the board to national instruments for repair.
Another thing that we have seen in some computers is interference or noise from the power supplies interrupting communication through the mxi-3 devices. The only thing you can really try in this case is to move the pci-mxi-2 card to another slot in the pc and see if it works, or try using a different type of pc.
Power cycling the chassis is not a valid solution as this will drop the mxi-3 link and then you will no longer be able to talk to de
vices in the pxi system. You always need to successful power the pxi-mxi-2 card and chassis before you power up your pc.

What can be the cause of Web ADI error : Cannot execute SQL statement?

I created a custom integrator in r12.2.3 and while loading I encountered an error, Cannot execute SQL statement.
I checked my setup in Interface attribute , the RUN_ID column has a default type SQL QUERY with a default value SELECT XXCONV_EAM_ASSET_NUM_S.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL.
If I have a right setup here, what can be the cause of this error?

Hi,
The possibilities can be of various reasons, with the sql statements,
xml descriptors, data sources, improper drivers anything. To crack down
the solution, kindly let me know the error messages and what exactly are
you trying to accomplish.
Thanks & Regards

I cannot control the sensor on my Mac, it moves by itself, and opens different pages. What can cause this problem? please help me.

I cannot control the sensor on my Mac, it moves by itself, and opens different pages. What can cause this problem? please help me.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Reset the System Management Controller.
3. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
4. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
5. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
6. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
7. If none of the above applies, or if you have good reason to think your computer is being controlled remotely, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi, disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop immediately, you should suspect an intrusion.

When I put my iphone 4s into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone beeps/makes a tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise.

I have a strange problem. When I put my iphone 4S into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone makes a beep noise/tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise. It doesn't sound like any of my regular applications. Maybe it is the lock noise but I can't tell for sure. More movement makes more beeps. Even walking with my phone in my pocket creates beeps. The IOS is 7.0.4 (11B554a). Anyone else have this crazy problem?

Suddenly all of my Office-programs have stopped working and will not launch on my MacBook. Could anyone give an amateur from Norway a hint of what may cause the problem? And I can not find the installation-disc for Office...Super! :)

HT1119 BATTERY IS DISPLAYING (NOT CHARGING) -What to do if your Mac Book Pro 13" even if it is on the power source adapter. I have dim all the lights and other energy saver as instructed. Any advice please .

Hi- My Macbook pro 13" is not charging and displaying the ( not charging ) sign evenif it is in the power source & adapter. Have tried all the dim all display lights and close unsed applications ( except not too sure about the close running applications)
Please help ?

Does the light come on in the power connector that connects to the Mac? If not then it is not getting any power. That light is either Green or Amber. Green for fully (and or Almost Fully) charged and Amber when the system is charging the battery. No light means the AC adapter is either not getting any power from the Wall Outlet or the AC adapter or the Mac is broken. In either of the last 2, broken AC adapter or broken Mac, you can replace the AC adapter yourself but if it's the Mac then only Apple can fix that.
Not much troubleshooting to do. You either don't have power to the AC adapter or the AC adapter is broken or the Mac is broken. It is one of those 3 things.

HT1879 What happened to the power search option? Has it been deleted or moved and I just can't find it.

What happened to the power search option? Has it been deleted or has it been moved and I just can't find it.

you haven't lost anything, it's virtually impossible to delete your Zotero library by accident.
You may just need to show your add-on bar (View --> Toolbars ---> Add on Bar).
To check if Zotero is disabled, go to Tools--> Add-ons --> Extensions.
Make sure to check for Zotero updates, you may need the newest version (2.1.10) for FF6 compatibility.
As a general piece of advice, if technical problems make you frantic, don't perform major software upgrades in the middle of a project. Also, support for Zotero is better on the Zotero forums than here.

Java starts itself under names "uaxzu" and "eihf". Nothing happens, I quit them and all is back to normal. What can be the cause?

Java starts itself under names "uaxzu" and "eihf". Nothing happens, I quit them and all is back to normal. What can be the cause?
I fear it might be some sort of a virus and since it's a mac it simply cannot do much and I can still use my system normally. But how can I make sure that it is absolutely safe and how can I get rid of it?
Thanks.

Some processes (like iTunes, QTKitServer Safari Web Content) stop responding more and more often in OSX Mavericks. What can be the source of that?

I have a rMBP mid-2012 with OSX 10.9 and some processes (e.g. iTunes, QTKitServer Safari Web Content) appear in red in the Activity Monitor, leading to high CPU temperature and low performance. What can be the source of this?

See this link: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23933863#23933863
What I do is turn on the Activity Monitor with a search for qt, and I continue to "force quit" the process.

HT1386 Cannot sync only my contacts what can be the cause

connecting my I Phone via USB it sync OK except my contacts that cannot be sync giving message
"ITune could not sync contacts to the I Phone because an error occured while sending data from the I Phone "
What can be the reason.
Thanks

Does the error give you a number? This a Mac or Windows PC? Does the computer, if Windows, use Outlook for it's contacts? Too many variables to change the answer. You need to give more details.
Try another route and sync contacts through iCloud.

My macbook pro 2.0 early 2011 will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

Alo, my Macbook pro i7 2 GHz Intel Core i7 (early 2011) will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

There is no output from that command line? Maybe the pid changed.
I'll repeat what I am trying to find out...
1. You do a pmset -g on the terminal.
2. The output from that pmset should have a line that says "sleep 0 (imposed by n)" where n is some number.
3. The ps ax | grep n is supposed to display what the process associated with n is.
It's the output from step 3 that should indicate what is causing you not to sleep.
But speaking of sleep, that's where I am going.

What can cause the power source to malfunction?
