Apple device h.264 codecs failed

For the last two days I've been using the Apple Device h.264 codec to compress 1-3 minute clips to prepare for apps. Everything worked smoothly. Now all of the sudden none of those three listed codecs work. Other codecs in Compressor do, but not the ones under the Apple Device category. I've been exporting out of FCP, so instead I tried to import into a QT movie into Compressor and try it that way, but that didn't work. I tried to repair Compressor with this:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressorrepair/
That didn't work. I tried to repair permissions on my computer through my Disk Utility, and that didn't work. Do you know what else I can do?
Thanks,

P.S. I'm posting this now, but I have to leave the computer for a time. My reply could be slow at first.

If you can export H264 files out of FC or by opening a file in QT and then exporting a H264 then the system does have the codec and Compressor has the issue.
I would try uninstalling all of FCS since you have already re-installed Compressor and Qmaster.
I presume you uninstalled with Digital Rebellion's uninstaller software as opposed to just reinstalling from the discs or dragging the app to the trash and reinstalling? I would not recommend the later two.
When I uninstalled with DR's uninstaller and reinstalled I still had to insert every disc and it took quite a bit of time. I would consider uninstalling everything and then reinstall.
Digital Rebellion also has a preference manager for FCS and this will save any preferences you desire in FCS. I would use this before the uninstall and not save anything related to Compressor.
Absolute worst case scenario: Clean install
This means you take your system disc and erase the hard drive and start over from scratch. Cloning your system drive and time machine can help avoid some of this but some people feel that time machine isn't the best option for backing up things like FCS. It is a huge hassle and very time consuming but every time I have done a clean install and reinstalled everything it has ALWAYS worked.

  • How to use the settings of Apple's h.264 Codec in ffmpeg.

    Hi there!
    Is it possible to use the same settings of the Apple h.264 codec in ffmpeg?
    I already found a *.setting file with some info, but this can't be all....
    Does someone know the settings of the Apple h.264 codec that are used by default (e.g.: me, subme, psy, mixed_ref, bframes, b_pyramid)? Or maybe there's a tool to analyze a movie encoded with the Apple h.264 codec very precisely (I already tried h264_parse.exe, but I couldn't figure out that much)
    Best regards,

    My questions are:
    1) How do I access the values generated by APEX (in bold) so that I can use them in further calculations? e.g. create a grand total from both regions
    2) Having calculated a value, assuming 1 above is possible, how do I insert it at position x or y? e.g I want to calculate a % so that x would be 8.33% and y 20%
    There are a couple of options for doing this, but neither of them are particularly simple for the inexperienced.
    1. Use dynamic actions and JavaScript to extract the values from the report total rows, calculate the values, and insert the results into the required report cell.
    2. Combine both reports into one, with all of the calculations performed in the query, and use a custom report template to display the results in the required format. This would involve a similar approach to that used in this previous thread: https://forums.oracle.com/message/10109743#10109743
    3) How do I change the words report total: to something more helpful?
    Use the Display this text when printing report sums property in the Break Formatting section of the report attributes.

  • Where are movies shared to Apple devices stored exactly? When I shut down FCPX the shared movie disappears from iTunes.

    FCPX v10.2
    Destination settings:
    Apple Devices 1080p
    Video Codec: H.264 Better Quality
    Resolution: 1920x1080

    Many thanks for anyone who can help me before I completely lose my mind!

    "Just to be clear, when you use the show in Finder function in iTunes it takes you to the share folder inside the FCP bundle, is that correct?" - correct
    From my iTunes preferences the  /Users/(myusername)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Home Videos
    I added that subfolder to distinguish home videos from purchased movies.
    thanks for your help btw!

  • Error message: "The share operation Apple Devices 1080p has failed"

    Hey,
    I have a MacBook Air, OS X version 10.9.3, running Mavericks, with 1.7 GHz and 8 GB memory. I'm running FCPX 10.0.8.
    I've had no problems rendering and exporting all sorts of movies and short clips over the last few months, however every time I try to export my last clip, this message shows up after the clip is 10% done exporting: "The share operation Apple Devices 1080p has failed   QuickTime Error: - 50"
    I've already clicked on "prevent app nap" under Get Info for FCPX.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on, or can offer a solution to this?
    Thanks so much!
    Terra

    Since you have already checked the Prevent App Nap box I assume you have seen this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21920134#21920134
    Seems likely to me that either one of the files in your timeline is giving you trouble or a render in your timeline is giving you trouble. I sometimes randomly run in to export errors with transitions or titles. Sometimes removing the effect/title from the timeline, deleting the render files or copying and pasting the timeline in to a new project can fix it.

  • Share to Apple Devices just fails

    Using FCPX 10.0.3, whenever I try to share a project with an Apple Device it opens the Share Monitor and then says "Failed" - how do I get it to work (shares with Compressor just fine)?

    I have this problem too (as do others). I get a funny error message, and when you go into the log it says (amongst a lot of other stuff) this:
    <log tms="350490911.925" tmt="02/09/2012 09:35:11.925" pid="52252" msg="CJobControllerServer::tickleService: we haven't heard from service (long list of numbers/letters edited out in case it's confidential!) for 3 sec. and connecting failed - the service is down.
    I have no idea what a tickle service is...
    However, it may still work. If you go into iTunes and import it manually from your shared folder in the project file, it might import. It works for me and they look perfect.

  • Share to Apple Device Failing

    Hello,
    I am trying to share a project to Apple Device 1080. The project previously shared fine to DVD from within FCPX. Now when I try to share to Apple Device it runs for hours then fails. Usually there is no message that it has failed it just stops. One time I did get an "Error -50" message, but don't know what that means?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. This project is for a funeral and I need to get it done as soon as possible.
    Thanks!

    The – 50 error covers a lot of possibilities.  Often it means invalid media – including render files. Turn off BGRendering. Select the project. From the File menu, Delete Project Render Files (all). Export a small section as a master file without rendering. If it works, try the full project.

  • H.264 for apple devices doesn't allow 48kHz audio!?

    I guess the bigger question is: What's the difference between using the *h.264 for apple devices* file format and *Quicktime movie* with compression set to h.264?
    Is there an actual difference in the algorithm? The documentation I've read claims that *h.264 for apple devices* is "low-complexity". Is this actually true? Is there any QT h.264 setting I can change to make it low-complexity?
    Here's why: I'm trying to make an iPhone/iPod compliant video podcast and using compressor. I'd like the audio to match the original 48kHz audio coming from my movie. If I go the *h.264 for apple* route, the only audio option I have is bit rate.
    This page...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/specs.html#formattingvideo
    ...claims that iPhone/iPod supports audio up to 48kHz and up to 160kbps, but I can't figure out how to create that with Compressor!
    Also, the *h.264 for apple* file format setting supposedly compresses the audio in the proper AAC-LC format. If I use *Quicktime movie* the only audio compression options that are close are AAC and AAC-LD.
    Thanks in advance for any help, guys!

    T-Bob wrote:
    OK, so my original high-quality movie opens MPEG Streamclip no problem, so I think that means I can skip the QT6-compatible step, right?
    To clarify, that wasn't a series of steps. That was two separate solutions to the problem.
    I've been fishing around in the 'export' settings, but I can't seem to find a straightforward way to convert it to h.264 low-complexity. Export to Quicktime Movie, or Export to Other Formats (iPhone, iPod?)?
    I just went to Export QuickTime and iTunes reported it as Low-Complexity. I guess MPEG Streamclip exports all H.264s as low complexity because I couldn't see a specific option either.
    ...and I can't seem to find AAC-LC setting in MPEG Streamclip either.
    I selected MPEG-4 AAC in the audio options. As I say, this was accepted by iTunes and synced to the device.
    Hope this helps.

  • Account Lockout issue between Apple devices and Exchange 2003

    I have been having an ongoing issue for a couple of months with a few different users Apple devices locking out their accounts in AD when they try to authenticate to ActiveSync.  This doesn't happen every time they authenticate, it seems to be random,
    while the rest of the time they have access to their email.  It might occasionally happen with an Android, but not on a repetitive basis like this.
    Primarily this has been four different iPads, running different versions of iOS, and an iPhone running the latest release of iOS 7.  Other iPhones and iPads function without having the problem, including iPhones on iOS 7.  
    The user accounts in question are set to never have their passwords expire, but again, they aren't the only users that are set like this, and those other users, even with Apple devices are not having the same problem.
    I used NetWrix to trace out the source machine, which is my Exchange 2003 server and times, and I've checked the W3SVC1 log file, and come up with the following as an example with identification details masked:
    <internal IP>, <Domain\Username>, 4/30/2014, 8:10:04, W3SVC1, <ServerName>, <internal IP>, 15, 329, 3367926, 200, 0, GET, /exchange-oma/<[email protected]>/NON_IPM_SUBTREE/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/iPad/ApplV50462*****/eb53cd5d5b9fcf40****************-20ef44,
    As I was typing this, the owner of the iPad from the log file above came by my desk, so I asked a couple more questions.  He's never had another iPad, it's a gen 1, and he's never updated the iOS on it.  I know one of the other iPads in question
    has the most up to date iOS, and the other one is brand new, replacing one that was broken, but the owner of that one had the same issue on a 3 year old iOS.  
    There is nothing special about the user accounts, no special privileges or restrictions.
    Has anyone encountered this before?  Exchange 2003, Server 2003 in a 2008 domain.  Promotion to the 2008 domain was 2 years ago.

    Hi Brian,
    I am so sorry for the delay.
    Do you have any progress by now?
    Since there are lots of devices which use user accounts to log on, failed logon attempts on these devices could be the cause for account lockout.
    If this issue persists, I suggest you refer to these troubleshooting articles below:

  • New internet provider, Apple devices can't download updates/apps but all other devices work fine! help

    Hi there
    I have changed to a new internet provider, and they configured my router (which was working fine previously with my Apple devices)
    It is a D-Link router, and it is connected to the internet via PPPOE. (previous provider did not have this PPPOE configuration)
    The technician did the configuration and the Wifi works fine for all my devices including laptops, and friends who use Android.
    My Iphone, Ipad, and my friends' ones are the only things that seem not to work correctly.
    They can find the network on the router. It then connects for a short time, then either after a few mins of browsing on Safari, or any attempt to download an App or update an App, it fails.
    To summarise - All non-apple devices function fine and connect to router. Apple Iphones and Ipads find and connect to Wifi, but the internet works temporarily on browser, and any App update or download will fail. (Wi-fi remains connected)
    I am hoping it is a simple router configuration issue and the installation technician missed something. Has anyone ever come across this?
    what I have tried - Rebooting router, restarting Ipad, resetting network settings and other things, but I am almost certain it is a router configuration thing.
    Just hope someone can help, because I have called my internet provider and if they will charge for a call-out if they find it is not ''their fault'.
    Really really appreciate any answers to this one.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
