Which plug-in is missing

I'm using Safari 2.0 with QT Pro 7.0.2 When I visit certain sites such as boreme.com, some video downloads produce an error message reading:
"Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesnt support. The application Windows Media Player may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?"
Usually, the WMP option doesn't work, anyway. Can someone tell me which plug-in I'm missing, as nothing, nobody and nowhere else seems to offer any clues? I'd prefer to stick with Safari if I can.

Norman, you can try View Source from the View menu to see what MIME type the video is which should indicate what plugin would be required to play it.

Does this happen ONLY with Mail? Could you close all other applications and open Mail and check again? If this is still happening, please post a screenshot here.

How to Identify Which Plug In is Missing?

Years ago (back in 2007), we were given some Indesign files as reference for a client's work. We never needed to open them and, if I recall correctly, we tried but had a problem. I believe we got an error saying that a special plug in was required.
Now we definitely are getting an error like that. Upon opening it, we get an error that says, "Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application." The file format should be supported. And the file is not open. Is there any way to tell what plug-in might be missing?
BTW, I'm still working in CS6
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip.
I opened one of the failing files and an openable one in BBEdit. They look nothing alike. Below is the failing one.
Still, this is weird. The file has an indd extension. And, it looks like it was packaged by InDesign. It's in a folder with a Links folder and a Fonts folder. Could it be so old that it's unopenable by CS6?
Thanks!

Which plug-ins are the problem?

Suddenly a number of my CS3 files are showing up as "exec" icons, and won't open in CS3. The error message suggest either file format problems (no), file being open (no) or a missing plug-in. How do you go about finding out which plug-in is missing or corrupt?

is on the top of the file. That means Quark. If you want them to open in InDesign and you have the plug-in to open it from Markzware you have to use the open dialog or the Markzware pallet.
What you have is files without extensions and you will need to have that fixed prior to moving up to 10.6 as creator codes are deprecated in that version. If you need to set them you can do so with any number of creator code utilities such as DropCT or my preferred one TCSet.app. Quark's creator code is XPR3 and it's Type is XDOC.
Changing creator codes is about the closest thing to dirty work you can do on a mac. Always do it to a copy when possible. Also what is most likely your problem is that you are connecting to your files through windows or unix file servers that your mac isn't seeing them. Ensure if it is on a remote file server that you are connecting via AFP or the server didn't recently get upgraded to something and services for mac wasn't installed. The codes are most likely there. It's also possible they got stripped due to one reason or the next (windows zip command, victim of a file restore though a backup program that didn't correctly restore the resource fork, posted to a webserver without being archived correctly).
If it was on a file server that you don't have control of I would point at that. Contact your network admin guy and tell him what the issue is and see if he can remedy it. If that is the case and you get the rigamarole that it is too hard to fix find a higher up and get them to shake the tree, it should be doable.

Firefox 4 couldn't find compatible plugins, but didn't say in the final message, which ones it had failed to find. I've reinstalled 3.6.17. Is there a way to discover which plug-ins were lost?

I was exhorted to upgrade to Firefox 4. Believing that like most such upgrades, it would be compatible and inconsequential, I did so. Having completed installation, it told me that a couple of plug-ins were incompatible (Yahoo and another which I didn't note) and that it would search for compatible plug-ins. When it finally told me that none were available, it didn't then say which were not installed, so I had no way of going back to find out. I followe instructions on a previous question to uninstall FF4 and reinstall FF3.6.17. How can I now discover which plug-ins were lost and thus restore them?

You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)

How does the Reader or Acrobat determine which plug-ins should be loaded

Hi,
I have a custom plug-in for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat.
The custom plug-in api file will be available in the plugins folder for all users.
But I want the plug-in to load for few users only.
Is there any registry key or any other property available to achieve this?
How does the Reader or Acrobat determine which plug-ins should be loaded?
Thanks,
Vatsapal

Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat looks for files with extension .api in the plugins folder.

Connecting to home theatre - which plugs are wh

Hello all,
I just got a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value for my computer which is connected to an amp with 5. surround speakers. I'm probably going to plug the sound card to the amp via the individual mini rca plugs, but i need to know which plugs are which. ie, which colour is front left and front right, which is surround left and surround right, and which is centre and subwoofer.
I would do it through trial and error but I haven't dealt with subwoofers much before and i'm afraid that connecting it wrong might damage the speakers, ie plugging a speaker into the subwoofer plug, or vica versa.
Thanks very much for the help people.

Thanks very much for the help guys. I received the sound card today and plugged it in and it seems to be working.... almost.
I've connected it by converting the 3 mini rca plugs into 6 rca plugs (the red and white ones), which are plugged into my amplifier. The amp has 5. speakers attached to it.
There's one problem. When I calibrate the speakers, the fi've normal speakers work fine, but when it moves onto the subwoofer it starts coming out of the sub for a second or two, then moves to the rear left speaker for a couple more seconds, then to the rear right speaker, then makes a few clicking noises and keeps changing between the two rear speakers. Why is this?
I know that the cause of the problem is the sound card, because I unplugged the plug which sends the subwoofer signal from the sound card to the amp, and exactly the same thing happened except that the first few second where originally the subwoofer made a noise, it was silent. After that though, it still went to the rear left speaker, then the rear right speaker, doing all sort of crazy stuff.
I have the sound card set on 5. speakers, and i can't think of any other setting that i would want to change. Any ideas?

Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?

Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?
That's it...
I've an old file without it's links folder, I was wondering If there was any way to extract low quality images from it to relink them.

@Bernardo – you could export the graphic frame that holds the low res preview to e.g. PNG.
But I would *NOT* re-link them! Place them anew in case someone has geometrically transformed (cropped, rotated, skewed, mirrored) the original ones. Keep in mind that by exporting graphic frames to PNG, fill and stroke properties together with applied effects are exported as well.

Hi vishwanath123-
Most websites when asking for your credit card do encrypt your password, but it is not based on a plugin. The website is responsible for securely receiving and storing your data. If you do not trust the website is secure, be careful with your data.

How to know which plug in to install?

I got an error msg "a plug in is needed to display this content" on my Android phone. how do I know which plug in to install?

I'm not sure there is a way to tell that without diving into the code of the page. Perhaps someone else has a way to find out.
But if I had to guess, probably the most widely used plugin on the web is Shockwave Flash, the Flash player plugin. It is not longer included with Android. This article has more information: [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?]]

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
Advice much appreciated.

Which plug-ins are not necessary?

I don't know which plug-ins are necessary and which should be deleted.
Thank you.

How long is a piece of string ?
It is nearly all a matter of personal choice and preference.
To a large extent
#Plugins will have little or no effect if disabled and it is easy to set plugins to be disabled, or to ask before use. That serves to both minimise their effects and remind you of when they are needed.
*[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
**[[Why do I have to click to activate plugins?]]
*[[Use plugins to play audio, video, games and more]]
Google Update presumably updates Google Software, and Virtual Earth may be Google software.
Shockwave Flash is commonly used but that may well include adverts and such that you may consider a waste of bandwidth and resources
Adobe PDF reader is commonly used, but Firefox does have its own capabilities for dealing with pdf files now.
*[[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]
**[[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]]
RealPlayer software may be important to you. It may also interact with and sometimes interfere with FlashPlayer use

Namoroka will not recognise Adobe Flash Plug In. Keeps saying a plug in is missing.

I just installed Firefox 64 bit that is called Namoroka. A couple of sites say "Additional plug ins are required to display all of the media on this page"; Clicking "Install missing plugin" takes me to Download Adobe Flash Player. I install it and reboot. Restarting Firefox gives me same problem asking for Adobe Flash Plyer to be installed. I check installed programs and find that Adobe Flash player is installed. I try all manner of tricks but Firefox Namoroka still doesn't recognise that Adobe Flash Player is installed.

== Flash was required ==

There is an 'experimental' beta 64bit version of flash (for Windows) which works fine for me:
