4.0.5 Making "Create DVD" but nothing happens...

I'm trying to make a DVD with my movie but Compressor hangs up on the message "Waiting"... and nothing happens...
Please help...
That's what I get:

I'm running into this same issue with Compressor 4.07 on a new MacBookPro with Retina and external Super Drive.  How did you solve it?
It makes files for DVDs OK but when I add the Create DVD function, it hangs up close to the end.  I let it run all night to see if it just needed time but nothing had changed over 8 hours later.
Did you do something to make it work for you or did it just need time?

    Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
    Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library".  Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

    You don't need iDVD unless you are going to make DVDs. If you are just trying to share files, iDVD won't help you at all.
    What you want to do is in iMovie, choose File/Share/File, and export that way. It creates an .mp4 file that should be readable on Macs or Windows.
    You could also File/Share/YouTube if you don't mind posting them to YouTube, because of course YouTube videos are watchable by any Mac or Windows computer made in the last 10 years.

  • I am locked out of my computer (macbook air) I just got it back from the apple store and they reset it. I put in a new password, and now it doesnt let me log in anymore. Command R doesnt work, all i hear is a sound, but nothing happens.

    I just got it back from the apple store and they reset it (becuase it kept shutting down and not turning back on).
    I put in a new password because i needed to start over from factory settings, but now it doesnt let me log in anymore. (I don't know if this is because it doesnt accpet my password, or I forgot my password in less than 5 minutes, or because when i typed in my new password, i typed it in wrong twice)
    Command R doesnt work, all i hear is a sound, but nothing happens.

    What I don't understand is why it is rejecting a password I am creating.
    Perhaps the password you are creating is too short, or has characters that are not allowed, or is not secure enough because it is a word in a dictionary.
    FileVault may have standards for what it considers an acceptable password. If the password is part of the 128-bit encryption scheme, it might have to be 16 characters, for example. (Don't know if that is true, but it's a possibility.) Check your documentation for password requirements.

  • I recently deleted a partition on my mac that was intended to install windows. Now it is just blank space. I attempt to resize my Macintosh HD partition to cover entire hard drive space and hit apply but nothing happens (disk utility). Any ideas?

    I have a few problems...
    I wanted to make a partition to install windows, I tried to use bootcamp 5 where it wanted to partition and install windows at the same time. I do not have a cd of windows but instead had it on a flash drive. Bootcamp couldn't find it. Instead I was reading forums and found that there was another way to install windows by partioning your harddrive using the disk utility, downloading the bootcamp drivers, and installing rEFIt (an app that when starting the compouter a menu would come up to boot windows from the flashdrive). I try that and the windows install screen gets me to the point where I pick a partition. I attempt to pick the partitioned drive but a message comes up telling me that "this is of the GPT partition style" and windows cannot be installed on the drive.
    So now I went back to disk utility and deleted the partition but there is still blank space. I wanted to retry and install windows through bootcamp (somehow) but a message comes up that there cannot be any partitions or that a partition must be created using bootcamp. SO i keep trying to drag the partition over the blank space and hit apply but nothing happens.
    By the way I was trying to install windows 8 pro, some forums would say that you cant install win8 however I found others that said you could. How do I fix my partition and how do I use bootcamp to install windows (preferrably 8)?

    Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

    Hi Folks,
    I have news about this case and maybe help you to help me find out how
    to follow
    to give the next step.
    I am using SimpleSampleRoleMapper sample at dev2dev to test my case. I
    discovered
    something I had not figure out until now.
    weblogic.management.commo.WebLogicMBeanMaker creates an class called
    SimpleSampleRoleMapperImpl.java which has my method "resetCache" but
    empty, so
    back to documentation I think i understood what they wanted to say when
    said :"
    If you included any custom operations in
    your MDF, implement the methods using the method stubs." (Located in page
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/dvspisec/credmap.html#1142366)
    So now I can´t find a reference to do a link between
    SimpleSampleRoleMapperImpl.resetCache()
    method
    and SimpleSampleRoleMapperProviderImpl.resetCache() method.
    So Anyone know how to make that connection, or maybe some reading I can
    do to
    write my implementation?
    Thanks again

  • Since Apple's last Update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from any source. I receive a message saying, Importing photos but nothing happens. When I click on Stop Import, nothing happens. I must press the On/Off button to exit iPhoto.

    Since Apples last update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from ANY source. When I attempt to do so, I receive the message "Import  Preparing to inmport..." I've waited 10 minutes but nothing happens. When I click on the icon, Stop Import, nothing happens. When I attempt to Close iPhoto i receive the message, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." When I click on OK, nothing happens. The only way I can exit iPhoto is to press the On/Off button.

    After loading this file I was sucessful in importing photos from a web site, my camera memory card and a CD containing photos.
    That is a good news.  We now know, that iPhoto is working as expected, when you are switching to a different library.
    But this is puzzling:
    I then see a box with two Librarys listed, both have the same name except for the following and are listed as:
    iPhoto Library.photolibrary but one has (default) after its name which is the one which is always displayed when I load iPhoto.
    Underneath the box is written:
    /Users/paulfkardian/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
    Underneath this are three boxes titled: Other Library    Create New    Choose
    I highlighted the the File without the (default) after its name and clicked on Choose. A Library was loaded which had my photos (about 9,822) from about 7 months ago. Underneath the box is written diferently than the file always loaded and says:
    /Users/paulfkardian/Pictures (original)/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
    You are having two "Pictures" folders in your Home folder, Pictures and Pictures (original)? And each has a different iPhoto library - one working correctly, and one not?  Do you remember, when this second "Pictures" folder has been created and what caused it?  Did you restore your Home folder from a backup some time ago?

  • I have tried to add nosquint addon and am told will be added after restart, but nothing happens

    The install dialog box says firefox in not allowing the, and I click the
    allow button. I restart the computer, but nothing happens. I had no trouble install previously (I had a problem with a program and had to reinstall firefox. The addon does not come up on the toolbar.

    Do you see that extension on the Tools > Add-ons > Extensions (about:addons) page?
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

    HI..
    So your Mac is running v10.7.3 or later? Just making sure. Your profile indicates the iOS 5.1.1 ...
    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
    Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk since the app is 15.51GB.
    Click your Apple menu icon. From the drop down menu click About This Mac then select Storage from the menu.
    Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

    You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

    All of a sudden my iChat won't connect. It just shows "Connecting..." but nothing happens, not even a timout message.

    When you start at the Discussion index Page you se folders next to the Category names.
    When you get inside some categories you have the Forums at the top then a list of the most recent posts.
    If you go to a thread directly you miss the top of the Forum where the "Post New Topic" spot is.
    In a thread use the option to return to Topic List.
    She will have to go to iChat menu > Preferences > Accounts and the Security tab and check she is Allowing the (Buddy's) Screen name. (And not Blocking it).
    The other thing to check is to make sure the Screen Name is spelt right.
    Can she see the Screen Name or other details in the Buddy List.

  • Trying to synch my ipod and getting message that a file is corrupt and can't communicate.  Trying to restore ipod but nothing happens when I click on restore. What now?

    When you have a compatible Numbers file in icloud (from Numbers on a mac), then when you invoke Numbers on a device, that file immediately shows up in the main window that lists all documents in Numbers.  (Same thing for Pages.)
    I haven't used Numbers, only Pages, so I just made a test.  Created a Numbers file on the mac and "move to" iCloud.  On my iPhone, the file didn't show up - hmm.  Then I remembered I had turned off wifi and in settings have 3G data for documents turned off.  When I turned on wifi and went back to Numbers, the file appeared.
    I suspect you need to import the Excel file into Numbers and then save it as a Numbers file to iCloud, using "move to".
    Using Mountain Lion and latest iOS and Numbers/Pages.

  • 2 lights on but nothing happens

    Hi, after a month of using my printer I've encountered one problem. When I turn on my printer it just stays like that and nothing happens. It was working before just fine, and now it's just like that.Please see picture of how it looks like. http://gyazo.com/d29515fe11a708364b835e2bc3fd5be4 I can turn it on, but nothing happens (no sounds, no flashing lights like before), these two lit lights just stay up.
    When I try to turn it off, nothing happens as well and it just stays on. All-in-one printer/scannerProduct: PIXMA MG3550  Many thanks

    Do you get anything at all happening other than the fans, Rick? Does the screen light up at all? Have you tried connecting an external monitor?
    Have you tried a PRAM reset, rather than just the SMU? (on these computers resetting the SMU does not also reset the PRAM)
    Have you tried booting from an OSX / iMac system DVD?
    Which particular iMac G5 do you have?
    Have you disconnected ALL peripherals other than a genuine Apple keyboard and mouse?
    It could even be a problem with a flat PRAM battery. If it is, don't buy a replacement from "We Love Macs", where they cost $50 instead of the regular price at your local supermarket or electrical store of less than $5! (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=857756&tstart=0)
    There are various possible causes of your problem. I don't think we can assume it a power supply problem just yet, though it may be.
    Cheers
