The plugs in read mean they do not load...usually this has to do with trying to load 32bits plugins in 64 bit mpc software or the oposite. You should check wich platform are your plugins in an run mpc in this same platform.
I would recomend you to use 64bits mpc soft and to get yourself a copy of jbridge to load the 32bits plugins in it, I am very happy with jbridge. But is not completly necessary.

To switch between 32 and 64 bit on OSX:
The MPC app is a universal binary meaning it can run in with 32- or 64-bit mode. The default is 64-bit (*so all your 32-bit plugins should be in red letters during the scan process). To change to 32-bit mode, go to your Applications folder. Select the MPC app, commas-click and select "Get Info". Check "Open in 32-bit mode."

As TT_Lab pointed out, 32-bit mode only opens 32-bit plugins; 64-bit mode only opens 64-Bit plugins.
