Compressor 4 crashes on opening keep getting this warning: The application “Compressor” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again? Tried Restoring windows. It crashes again. Tried not = Same result. This is the first time I've actually used the app although I purchased it back in April (I think). I had my first longform project completed in FCPX and tried sending it to Compressor 4 and got this result over and over again.
Steve,
Sorry to say I've not had any success in getting Compressor 4 to work. I've tried every suggestion mentioned earlier on this topic to no avail. Compressor 4 is dead in the water. On the last two projects I had to go back to Compressor 3.x.xx to complete the projects. The only hint that I have of wha may have happened concerns something I did early on. When I bought this computer I decided to replace the hard drive with a larger one. Since I already had my software up and working on the drive that came with the computer I decided to clone everything to the new larger drive. As I recall, Compressor 4 worked on the original drive but it doesn't work on this cloned version. So maybe there is a relationship there. I haven't had a chance yet to reinstall my old drive and see if C 4 works on it. If it does work then I know the source of the problem but not how to fix it on the new drive. Did you do anything like cloning your drive recently too? It's just a thought and may not lead anywhere but later this week when I catch a break I'll give the old drive a try and will post my results.
Thanks,
Peter

i can't open my iPhoto, it was working very slow and now its not working at all, when i try to open it it shows this message: The application “iPhoto” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?
how can i fix this problem?There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -

I can't get new mail. This is what i'm getting: This account (iCloud) appears to be offline due to a network problem. Do you want to try to go online now?
10.8.4, created a new account to basicall get the MS Exchange email working because the old email under the other account is again SNAFU.
Same Stuff, Different Day. A perinal Apple defect as it never has worked right. The irony is that an open source clunky Java solution called DAVMail is more stable and reliable than the professional Mail app for providing MS Exchange compatibility. The lesson learned is that Apple's MS Exchange Mail.app compatiblity stinks on ice.
Google DAVMail. You have to load Java :-( but it works better than Apple's native implementation. -
The application 'Finder' unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.
Hello All. I solicit your help and advice please.
When I started up on my Macbook Pro (v10.7.5) this morning the Finder icon was flashing along with a flashing message that states "Restore Windows. The application 'Finder' unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?" This has never happened before.
Unfortunately, when I try to select "Restore Windows", it will not respond and keeps flashing. I shut down and tryed a restart but the same thing has happened and I have now lost my Desktop icons and screensaver. Can anyone help me? Thanks very much!
<Re-Titled By Host>Hello Brody, and Thank you for responding.
I have been on the phone with Apple Support for awhile and they cannot completely diagnose the problem after many attempts at deleting plist files, etc. This one has them scratching their heads a bit (I must say they have been Excellent with their time and effort).
We have reesatblished "Finder" operationally and I have been able to restore and access most files but the problem was resident on the Deskstop I may have to visit the "Genius Desk" for follow-up as necessary.
I much appreciate your response and am very glad for the Community. Thank you again. -
iTunes won't open.
I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.This may indicate a corrupt preference file with iTunes trying to open the wrong location. Try holding down shift as you launch iTunes then choose the correct file, normally <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. See iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.

This seems to be a wellknown problem but I have not been able to find a solution to it on the net. It is impossible to remove the program because it can not be shut down. I'm a new mac user, please help!
Any Mac program can be force quit. 1) if the application appears in the Dock, right click on its icon while holding the option key. 2) hold the option & command key while typing the escape key to get the force quit menu. 3) open the Activity Monitor and select the My Processes tab. Now look for your program by name and click on the force quit button in the top left corner.

I am not able to convert movies, keep getting this message The document “The Walking Dead Trailer - YouTube-2.mp4” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. not sure why, anybody know
Sounds like someone ripped the movie off of YouTube and it got corrupted in the process. Try getting the movie file again, or try using an alternative movie player such as VLC: http://www.videolan.org

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

I'm trying to export a slideshow and I keep getting this message: The movie contains an invalid data reference. What should I do?
That usually means that iPhoto can't find a clip or a shot that you're using in the Slideshow.

The last time you opened OpenOffice, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? i have a problem with open office, if I press reopen, nothing happened ans i see always this information on my mac? what can I do?
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
