Where else are Plug ins stored and throwing things away

Hello All,
Last year I had purchase Dot Pixels and i installed it in the Applications>AE>Plugins folder. I got an email to upgrade to the lates version. It warned to remove the old version before installing the new one, which I did. However, with the new version the computer did the installation. Unfortunately, its not working properly, its showing up as a trial version, so I would like to remove it, but its not in the Plug ins folder like the old one was, and when I "Search" for it nothing shows up. When I type in Dot Pixel in the Effects and Preset panel, its located in a folder named RowByte.
Where is it located so that I can trash it.
Since I cleaning tihs out and I love throwing away things to reclaim disk space, I noticed in my HD>Library>Application Support folder a Final Cut Pro and a Final Cut Pro System Support folder, I dont use Final Cut, don't intend to use Final Cut and I don't know where or how Final Cut got to be anywhere on my machine, is it ok that I trash them and any other applications that I do not use and have folders in there.?
Thank You in Advance
on a Mac os 10.6.8 using AE from the CS4 suite

There are plug-ins that get installed in the Library>Application Support> Adobe> Common> Plug-ins folder.
I wouldn't mess with the Final Cut folders. They contain things like apple codecs for ProRez and Apple Intrmediate. They are good for you....

Where is the printer queue stored - and how to delete all queue jobs?

I ran into a problem after I installed the Roll paper feeder on my Epson R1800. All of a sudden files will not print anymore.
One thing that may cause a problem is that there are two previous files (pdf I think) that someone else tried to print yesterday looking for a different printer on regular Letter size paper that are still in the queue because they did not print successfully. Everytime I tell Photoshop to print my photo on the Roll paper, those two old jobs pop back up on the printer queue gui and the system stops saying "wrong paper type for this job". Then I delete those two old jobs so there is only the Roll paper one left but it just sits there and wont print. When I launch the utility to check is all is kosher, sometimes it will give me the ink cartridge levels without a problem but sometimes it claims a communication error. I have re-checked the connection and everything and all is OK. When I launch the printer utility and tell it to print a Nozzle Check test, it prints it without a problem so there really is no prob with the communication.
When I restart the computer and the printer and try again, the two old jobs that I deleted in the previous step always reappear. So I wonder if, those two pdf jobs are kinda screwing with the system and should be deleted. But as i said, everytime I delete them, they look like they disappear from the list but my photo job just sits there on the queue without printing. The jobs are not stopped and there is no Hold on this one. If I quit and re-launch the print job, the old ones re-appear in the queue. So they must be stored someplace and are not deleting correctly. Does anyone know where this cue file is stored and what it is called? I have looked in Application Support and in Preferences but I can't see anything that looks like it.
I have downloaded the drivers from Epson for this printer again but that doesn't do anything either. I am using 10.4.11 on an 24 inch iMac intel 2.4Ghz. I only use the stock Apple utilities, no funky third party addon except for the Epson drivers. The printer utilities are:
Epson Printer Utility v3.01
Stylus R1800 utility v4.7(161.10)
Thank you for any help.

Hooray, we found the problem! BOO, we already found the problem elsewhere!
Sooo, it seems we have some kind of Permission problem, have you Repaired Permissions ad rebooted?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Or we could maybe go back to that window, click on Printers, remove it? (Thinking perhaps the jobs will go away with the printer!?)
Or would you like to delve into the hidden folders/files to try to handle this?

CS4 upgrade to CS6 Where did my plug ins go?

CS4 upgrade to CS6: where did my plug ins go?

where did my plug ins go?
Nowhere. They are still happily in your (former) PS CS4 plug-in directory. There is no such thing as automatic migration. You need to obtain the proper CS6 versions from the vndors (possibly at extra cost) and install those.

Where do the plug-ins live?

Ok so i just installed Logic Pro Content. Have all the awsome sounds but the plug-ins are missing. I have songs i did a while back that need compressor and other plug-ins but none are there. They just have a line though it.
Now i have soundtrack Pro with all the same plug-ins.
So what is wrong and where do the plug-ins live in the mac.
Have installed the program more then once

Usually when lines are through the plug-ins like that, core audio has not been activated.
Go to Audio Hardware & Drivers, and first make sure to enable the core audio driver, then select your audio interface.
See if that does it...

Photoshop CS5 Extended -- Optional Plug-ins, Extensions and Presets

I am using Photoshop CS5 Extended.
I downloaded the Optional Plug-ins, Extensions and Presets file, unpacked it the desktop. All I wanted was the SGI file format, which works very well and the legacy textures.
As per the PDF file I copied the "Textures directory" to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Presets
The instructions stated just restart Photoshop and the deal was done.
Only it didn't work. The legacy textures are not available in the texturizer

Have you tried changin the texture selector using the sidearrows?

I get hangs using plug-ins (NIK), and can't export (hangs/crashes). Anyone experiencing this?

Updated Aperture today (3.4.3) running 10.8.2. Now I get hangs using plug-ins (NIK), and can't export (hangs/crashes). Anyone experiencing this?

Andrew,
In general, I've found the Nik plug-ins to be the least problematic of all that I use. Unfortunately you haven't provided enough information so that help can be focused on your problem. So here are some of the standard steps to take.
1. Make sure you are running Nik's latest versions. There were earlier ones that didn't work properly with ML.
2. Which plug-ings are the problem?
3. Have you tried the repair/rebuild option on your Aperture database? Often what appears to be problems with a 3rd party item actually stem from some sort of fault in the database.
4. If you're really stuck do the following steps: A. Delete the Nik plug-ings. B. Repair/rebuild the database. C. Download Nik's latest versions. D. Reinstall. E. Test.
This is a generic problem solving approach that fixes many things. Also, you should examine if it is a particularly type of file or set of photos or something specific in the images you are working on. A corrupt image, for example, can produce really weird things on occasion.
Hopefully some of this is useful. If not, more detail is needed.

How do I get my plug ins (Nik and Topaz) to work on Photoshop Creative Cloud? [was:Plug ins?]

How do I get my plug ins (Nik and Topaz) to work on Photoshop Creative Cloud?

Contact the makers of your third party plugins and see if they have updates that work correctly with Photoshop CC 2014.
Also, make sure you ran the installers for the plugins instead of just copying them, since you may be missing necessary support files for the plugins.

Clearing cookies, cache and what are plug ins?

Greetings,
I followed a post here from SANIBEL explaining how to successfully clear my cache. Then to clean out the cookies under the Security tab of Preferences by clicking on REMOVE ALL WEBSITE DATA. I then clicked on DETAILS and see that there are still lots of "PLUG-INS" there. Is it necessary to also remove them, i.e. will they also perhaps contribute to interference and if so, must I remove them manually?

Those are cookies you see not plug-ins.
Root and user plug-ins are stored in: /Library/Plug-Ins and ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Plug-ins or extensions are add ons that can enhancet the way you use a browser.
This is how to clear the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.

List IPs/MACs of devices and switchport where they are plugged in

Hi there,
I'll be going out to an installation with a 6504 and a couple of dozend access switches to check for stuff that's plugged into the wrong port.
What I want to do is to create a list: what client-device (IP) is connected to what port.
Unfortunately there's no network management tool present on site that might help.
I have two ideas how to get there and perhaps anyone has done something like that before:
First, I'll scan the whole IP range of allowed adresses from the core. This will put all existing MAC adresses in the IP range into the core's ARP table.
Then read out ARP table and put all existing MACs in a file
Then prepare a script that works in one of the following ways:
1) centrally traceroute to each destination
for each [MAC from ARP table] do
ssh core-switch
traceroute mac MAC
Advantage: scripting is easier because I only ever log in to core-switch
Disadvantage: this requires to pass a variable (MAC) through from the script into the routine that runs in the called SSH-shell. Is that even possible?
I'm no scripting expert, so I'm not really sure...
2) locally collect all ARP-tables
for each [list of access-switches] do
ssh [Access-switch]
show mac address-table
then sort out everything where the ARP table does _not_ point to a local FE port (but to an uplink).
then enrich each entry with the name of the switch it was found on.
Advantage: no passing through of a variable into the SSH-subroutine necessary.
Disadvantage: have to enrich the data
Has someone ever encountered this problem before and perhaps has some smart script lying around? Any help would be apprechiated.
Thanks in advance!

Open firefox and in the menu, go to:
Tools > Options
Choose the "General" section (light switch icon)
There should be a downloads block there. It says something like "Save files to [_____________][Browse...]"
you should be able to click on browse and see where the folder is located. Then hit CANCEL (so you don't change it by mistake before you have found it for sure)
Once you have found the files, if you would like, you can go back in and change the location setting to somewhere you would prefer if you do not like where they are saving to.

Where are my albums stored, and is there a list that I can choose from?

I have my first album completed
and it is on the organization area.
I now know how to start another album,
but where does my first album go and
how do I get it there? Will there be a list of my
albums??

Hi again Mimi
I hope things are becoming a bit clearer. There is always a bit of a learning curve with any new software but keep persevering.
Try This:
Create a new album by clicking the plus sign in the album panel and give it a name.
On the top tool bar select File>>Get Photos & video>>From Files & Folders
Then browse on your computer for the folder you want and choose the photos to bring into Organizer.
The photos will appear in a separate import window in Organizer.
Press Ctr+A to select all of them and now drag the new album icon from the left panel on to one of the photo thumbnails.
All the selected photos you imported into Organizer will then be put into the new album and you will see the album icon appear on all of those thumbnails.
Organizer will always show all of the photos you bring in; so if you put 50 photos in Album #1 and 50 photos in album #2 Organizer will show 100 thumbnails when you click the “Show All” button or open up elements again. But by clicking on any album button on the right panel it will display only the photos you put in each separate album.
If you wish to see a list of where your photos are, change the display criteria in Organizer from thumbnail view, to folder view and it will show those folders you have linked to Organizer.
Once you have created albums you can make web galleries using the available Flash templates and share them using the free bandwidth on Photshop.com, available to users of Elements 8 (& 7 I think).

Safari Plug-ins, pdf and Preview?

Is it possible to set Safari to use a Preview plug-in to read pdf files? I can find the list of installed plug-ins (Help: Installed Plug-ins) but I can't see any way to edit them. I don't care if Preview opens the files within Safari, or if Preview just starts up and displays the pdf files in its own window.
At the moment, when I click a pdf file link within Safari, Safari doesn't know what to do because it can't find Adobe Acrobat Reader. (I recently un-installed Adobe Acrobat Reader because I got tired of Adobe's shenanigans.)
Thanks!

You just might get a quick response if you post in the Safari forum area here:

Missing Plug-ins - Package And Preflight.APLN from InDesign Document

If a user creates a file in InDesign CC and then tries to open it in InCopy CS6 they get the following error.
Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File
PACKAGE AND PREFLIGHT.APLN
The Doument "filename.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?
This happens whether the copy of InCopy is on the same PC as InDesign or a seperate PC without InDesign. InCopy is installed seperately from the CC.
Clicking OK opens the file normally.
We have checked that both versions of the software match at v8.0.2.
I've heard it might be due to embedding of this file but the designers say they are not yet at the stage of packaging this file when they get this error so nothing should be embedded.
Can anyone help?
Simon

Hi, Thanks for pointing out the error.
I have checked back with our designer and found out that they are using InDesign CS6 and not CC. (I was confused as they used CC to install it rather than our seperate deployment tool).
The problem however remains the same.

I cannot access Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in although it's listed in CS6 "PHOTOSHOP" menu along with my other plug ins. And I can't find it on my iMAC (10.9.5)

In CS6, how do I access the Adobe Camera Raw plug in that's listed with my other (easily accessible) plug ins: I can't find it through "automate", or "Filter" or "extensions".. I am on iMAC 10.9.5 (Mavericks)

I believe camera raw as a filter is CC only. You can access camera raw by selecting a raw, tiff or jpg image from your drive. Raw is the only one that will open by default. You must tell camera raw to open tiff and jpg in the preferences.
You can also use file>open or file>place then specify camera raw as file type. In this case it will open any of the three formats without changing the preferences.
Once the image is in Photoshop, it should be a smart object if you choose open as object instead of open as image in camera raw. As a smart object, you can double click on the thumbnail in the layers panel. This will open camera raw with that image.
