When installing, get "Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory"

Began having problems when opening Firefox and trying to make Firefox the default browser. Windows 7 updated, AVG up-to-date and virus scans clean, MalwareBytes up-to-date and scans clean. Troubleshooting finally caused me to uninstall and try for clean install ... normal Windows 7 uninstall process successful. Made sure Firefox folder in "Program Files" was deleted. Downloaded "DownloadApp_1_7_5_198_Setup" (29,442 KB) from Mozilla website and run ... get "Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory. Please try again later."

Thank you guig2! Followed your bleepingcomputer.com link above and found the problem was my permissions on C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local/Temp. It was not "Full Control" for my User or Administrator. Updated the two lines to permit full control for folder, subfolder and files. Ran perfect.

Want to make firefox my default brouser but get error message "can"t initialize plug ins directory" try again later?

That's the basic problem. I've tried a number of trouble shooting corrections; but nothing works.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Error messages after alternate plug-ins directory chosen

After my initial install of the CS6 beta, which went quickly and flawlessly (I have learned to turn off my virus protection during install due to previous problems with installs of older versions of PS) I went to preferences and chose my CS5 plug-ins directory.
After that was done I got a series of 3 error messages which, after closing them, did NOT prevent CS6 from opening eventually.
I would like to know what I can do to get rid of those error messages.
I've posted screen grabs here: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/isabel95/7009088577/in/photostream> Click on "newer" to see the following two error messages.

you should not do that.

Plug-in Compatibility
In general:
3rd Party plug-ins that are compatible in Photoshop CS5 should be compatible in Photoshop CS6
Adobe provided plug-ins, and additional plug-ins, for CS5 are not compatible in Photoshop CS6 Photoshop CS5 Optional Plug-Ins (Mac/Win)
TWAIN plug-in | Photoshop CS4, CS5
OpenEXR Alpha plug-in | Photoshop CS5 Extended
Do:
Check the plug-in manufacturer's website for the latest version of your plug-in
Use the manufacturer's plug-in installer to install their plug-ins
Don't:
Do not point Photoshop CS6's "Additional Plug-ins" preference (Preferences>Plug-Ins...) at a previous version of Photoshop's 'Plug-Ins' folder.
Do not manually drag plug-ins from a previous version of Photoshop's plug-ins folder to Photoshop CS6's 'Plug-Ins' folder

Desperate for help ... Getting error "can't initialize video deck"

Last night, I had been importing footage just fine into Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 from my camcorder. Then today, no matter how many times I try, how many times I reboot, I get the error that it cannot initialize the video deck when I try to Log and Capture the footage. I've read a number of the solutions to other people having this problem, I ran Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, try unplugging the power and FireWire cable completely, to no avail. Before this, it had been kind of "buggy" in the last few days trying to capture footage, but usually would connect just fine after I would turn off the camera and turn it back on. But today nothing ... I haven't installed or done anything to this system in months, and like I said, I've imported 24 tapes up to now with only a couple of slight times where it couldn't load initially, but usually did on the second try. Could something be conflicting on my system? I have an external hard drive connected to the system which I use for my capture scratch disk, and if I boot up the system with my camcorder turned on, my external hard drive is not recognized. But once I turn the camcorder off, my external hard drive pops right up. Same kind of issue when opening Final Cut Pro ... if I try to open FCP with my camcorder turned on, it hangs on the little rainbow circle. But the second I turn off the camcorder, Final Cut loads just fine. I am really desperate for a solution on this one, I'm way behind on a project, and only have 7 more tapes to go. By the way, I'm on a Power Mac G5.

jason,
Before I go into the firewire port reset procedure there are two things you should understand.
1. Paragraphs are not optional. Your English teacher should give you a dope slap for the way you wrote your original post.
2. When you reply to a Post, click REPLY ON THAT POST not on your original post. Otherwise, when you view this thread in 'Threaded View" (to be found under My Settings), it looks like you are talking to yourself.
Now, to reset the firewire bus. I like to do this in a recreational manner - hence the 'Harpoon Solution" (aka the Guinness solution in the mid and far west)
1. turn everything off.
2. unplug firewire cables
3. unplug power cords
4. get up from well worn chair
5. walk to refrigerator
6. open refrigerator
7. remove bottle of Harpoon (Guinness, local micro brew, etc)
8. pop cap
9. pour into glass ( you AREN'T going to drink it from a bottle, are you?)
10. sip responsibly. enjoy the moment. think pure thoughts
11. return to kitchen. If less than 15 minutes has elapsed, have another. Otherwise, retrurn to edit room.
12. Plug everything back together
12. fire up external monitors, VTR, external hard drives & computer in that order.
Does it work now? If yes, congratulate your self. If not, oh well, but at least you are in a much better frame of mind to begin some serious troubleshooting.
cheerios,

Probably you could start the oracle database with SQLPLUS, and it will output the errors in dialog.
Eks:
log on as sidadm:
sqlplus / as sysdba
sql> startup
It will tell you if any table spaces are in recoverymode or offline.
A better walkthrough can be obtained in my blogpage on similar matters:

I can't get all my Flaming Pear plug-ins to install in Photoshop CS6 on Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me? I also get crashes on the ones that did install. Whats the problem?

I cannot get all the Flaming Pear plug-ins to work. I have dragged them into my Photoshop CS6 plug-ins folder but they do not show up under "filters". Also among the ones that do show up and that do work, I am having crashing problems. I chatted with Adobe (they do not answer their phone) and they said "You cannot use any plug-ins with Photoshop-uninstall them right away". When I said, "Then what's the use of Photoshop?" the guy ended my chat session!?!?!?!
Flaming Pear does not reply. What is the problem with the plug-ins?

Kreplach,
Open CS6 > Preferences > Plug-ins
in the preferences menu > select plugins on the left column > and check the box additional plugins folder
choose > location of a plugins folder (make one or use the mounted volume of the dmg I downloaded from pear site)
You need to close Photoshop CS6 and reopen it for the plugin to load:

How to solve when we get error sid missing?

how to solve when we get error sid missing?

Hi,
If you get SID error means, There is no reference for the particular data in the Master data of that characteristic.
so, Load that value in the Master data of the characteristic you wont get that sid error.
Ex: When loading data to ods if it is giving sid for country withvalue ('india'), so india is not there in the master data of the characteristic Country. You need to enter the value India in mster data table of the characteristic.
Otherwise you can choose option ' Update without master data' or something similar to that in infpackage or dtp.
rgrds,

We are having a similar problem. Most of the time it responds correctly but several times a day it crashes with the same error. SAP Web console is running on Windows 2003 Server. I usually correct by recycling the worker process in IIS.

Can anyone recommend plug-ins for vocals?

Can anyone recommend plug-ins for vocals? I'm looking for an average "radio" sound. How can I get that?
Thanks
Anya
imac 20 inch 2 gig Ram Mac OS X (10.4.7) apogee + miroslav + looking for great midi controler

well
Let's start again:
I use imac and ensemble by apogee as my audio
interface with and rode ntk microphone. that should
give me a preatty decent sound, but it comes out
kinda hollow and unnatural.
Hi AnyaS,
It seems like the room you are in might be adding it's "sound" and making your vocal sound like it is going through a tunnel,or "hollow" sounding.
Where are you doing your vocal recording? When you sing,do you hear your voice come back at you funny,like from a wall,or like you hear a faint "echo" or repeat in the room?
I could help you,but without actually listening what you are talking about it is almost impossible to know what problems you might be encountering,and also if you can point to a reference CD or artist that you are trying to sound like,I can't really give you concise advise as to what to do to get you there.Do you have any way of showing us some of the sound you are getting so we can listen to it? That can help a lot more than describing in words what you are not liking about your voacl sound.Again a lot of this is subjective use of language,so when you say "hollow sound" it could mean something else to me.
And as to the radio quality - I mean sound more round
and defined - someting that I could send to radio
and/or AR.
Well,I think you are putting the cart ahead of the horse here...try to get your sound "there" to where you like it first,before trying to be judged by "radio and A&R" people.
I am not sure how I can improve:
- better/additional hardware or
- better mastering/playing with software (I have IK
studio bundle - that I have only utilized so far as
sound source).
I am willing to spend additional $1000 if needed but
rather not.
I think you do not need to throw money at the problem...that never usually works.It is better to understand what sound you want to get first,and then try to get there.
I'll listen to what you have posted,but if you can have a link to a vocal without ANY processing,i.e. as you record it in your usual place,that would help more than a full mix of your music.I can tell easier what to do if your vocal is by itself.
you can listen to working draft here:

sorry I don't know how to create a link here.
Thank you for your help.

Can one develop plug-ins for Photoshop Touch?

I have a few Plug-ins for Photoshop CS, can I develop plug-ins for Photoshop Touch for Tablets?

I would love for there to be a way of using my favorite plug-ins within PS Touch but I imagine that's a little more complicated than using the standard 8BF plug-in standby.
