What is a plug-in?

I've just updated Java (I think) and a box of instructions on 'Activate' and 'update' and 'plug-ins', etc. appeared. I have no idea why or what when where or or - I'm to understand and/or to do.
I have read all the instructions several times, but I still don't know what a plugin is, let alone choose to activate or update something in this case specific. (And is it related to the update of Java somehow?)

I hope that I've associated with enough information for someone to help me. And certainly, this help will be APPRECIATED!

A plug-in is a type of Add on. It is a program on your computer that can reproduce the content otherwise, he can't handle a browser (like Firefox). Java, Flash Player, QuickTime, and Silverlight are examples of plug-ins.

You can check if Java is up to date on the next page.

For now, the Mozilla Plugin Check page can poorly identify the current version of Java is out of date.

Note, however, that most of the sites do require Java. You should not be installed unless you know for a fact that you need.

  • MacBook Pro (2014) does not charge despite an orange light when plugged

    Hello

    So my 2 year old Macbook Pro (retina) does not load when it is plugged in - spite, projecting the orange light. I have a battery (20%) and it is reduced whenever I use it and will be soon drained.

    Some of the things I've tried

    -Reset SMC - tried but no change after

    -When I use the mac when it is plugged in the battery icon in the top bar done see the support - but there is no increase in % of the battery. Continuous use it starts to fall.

    -During use (and what battery is plugged) - I checked the report system (about this Mac section) - in the energy sector - it is said does not charge (despite being connected, the orange light and the symbol in the top bar)

    What do you think guys that it is? MLB? Battery?

    What I have to replace or can it be fixed?

    If you have the Apple store, take the machine evaluation.  There is no charge for this, but you need an appointment.   The first thing I would check would be the cable.  You have another machine to test this with.

  • Firefox blocks no plug-ins

    Under all: permissions I put plug-ins for 'always ask' under 'all pages '. However if I set any page to "allow" all pages is set to allow. The simply looking at "all pages" will be solved I return to "always ask" for all pages. However, regardless of what is on, plug-ins are played automatically for all pages.

    This always happens in safe mode.

    I'm under openSUSE 12.3.

    I see, Yes, for the moment, there click on the page to unlock them all on the page.

    The following thread explains this change: 24 Firefox click to play the flash plug-in!

    To get the FlashBlock similar behavior with the current Firefox, the thread suggests this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/click-to-play-per-element/

  • What do the lights on the front of my NB-205?

    I know what means the plug icon (plugged into the wall). I know that the symbol of wifi: I am connected to wifi. I know what means the battery light, (although I don't know when it lights up). The rest of the lights are an enigma for me, however. Anyone know what they mean (from left to right)?

    Thank you!

    I downloaded a copy of the PDF from the same place where Toshiba messages for software updates. I keep the file on my hard drive, just in case where I have a question like your question. Answers are easy to find because I can search for specific words as of the 'lights' using the Acrobat Reader program.

    For support for LabVIEW 2009, you will need to update your version of NOR-RIO.

    You cannot use usb period.  I said that above.  You will need to the jetdirect 300 x or another external jet parallel to connect to your router using an ethernet cable.  Once logged in simply look for instructions on the net print a configuration page and the use of the information in the config page to add the printer.  You can ask a friend who is computer savy.

  • Plug in camera raw

    Hello

    I just bought a new Imac running on El Capitan 10.11.3. I have reinstalled CS5, downloaded Java script and Camera Raw plugin, but I can't open the Canon Mark II and III RAW files with it.

    I still got the same message. "Could not complete your request because your file appears to be a model of camera that does not support" and before I bought this new computer my CS5 works pretty well and opening of Canon Raw files with the plug in without any problem.

    Can someone help me? What is the plug that works with CS5 and El Capitan?

    Thank you.

    Alban

    This is the model of camera to Camera Raw list: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices

    CS5 is up to 6.7. If you had reinstalled it, you start with a basic with no update installation.

    This is the best way to get the update: Adobe - Adobe Application Manager: for Macintosh: Adobe Application Manager

    Before you download, temporarily "Anywhere" as shown here, or your installation will be blocked.  CS5 was never "signed" for the security.

    Then you open Photoshop and use the Help menu > updates to download and install all updates. Let me know how it went.

  • Business catalyst Dreamweaver plug-in

    Does anyone know what has the plug-in for Dreamweaver that helps you connect with BC. Now that DW has dropped support is always available for DW?

    Thanks for the reply of Nancy. I think something was wrong on their end. I went and did exactly the same thing that I had been to connect and connected this morning. I have copy and pasted everything to ensure no typos, just like the last time and here I am connected. What was weird was I do a site in Muse and unable to connect a little yesterday until last night. If anything and I don't think that it my end because I was up and running everywhere else and tested things just to make sure. Thank you all and I guess that we will never know. Until next time Ugh!

  • Camera Raw, what is it? Where is he? Demystify the Please

    By Lightroom tells me that I have an older version of Camera Raw, but is no longer gives me this message at startup because I've probably checked off box that says don't remember.

    In the interest of more about Camera Raw, I need to know:

    What is a request? -I do not see in the applications (Mac) folder

    What is a plug-in module? -I don't see it in the plug-ins folder of Photoshop.

    Where he lives? -J' did a search Spotlight from my entire system and the only thing that came to Camera Raw are some folders in library > Application support and a bunch of pdf files.

    I need to say what version I have, but can't do so until I have find - anything.

    My next question has to do with lightroom: Lightroom do use Camera Raw (I'm collecting for this, if it recognizes that I have an older version). Is Camera Raw machine that operates behind the curtain of ' develop?

    If I knew the answer to these a few basic things, I think I could understand much more about Lightroom works in mode develop.

    TIA,

    Ken

    Camera RAW is the plug-in that Photoshop and Photoshop Elements lets decide first.

    http://www.Adobe.com/products/Photoshop/cameraraw.html

    If you have Photoshop, you can update using the help / updates... or by downloading and running the installation program manually.

    http://www.Adobe.com/downloads/updates/

    Lightroom doesn't use Camera RAW, but he has the same RAW conversion engine can make the same adjustments if their versions are synchronized.

    LR 2.x = ACR 5.x, so LR 2.4 has the same adjustments and camera support as ACR 5.4.

    You should keep up to date with LR to avoid making adjustments in LR that can not ACR ACR.

    Hi REALOldNick,

    To reiterate my questions
    Have you tried disabling Phony? What is a plug-ins necessary for you? All I KNOW it was did not updated for a while. One of the employees Mozilla, Matt Brubeck, he developed to see if there is an update. Also, is there a reason that you use the desktop version and not the downloadable application YouTube via Google game store?
