Batch Monitor "hangs" on "processing" - nothing happens

All of a sudden, I can't use compressor 2 any more. Batch monitor hangs forever on "processing". It's stuck at 0% with an "unknown" time remaining.
When I try to stop and delete that file, it's stuck on "canceling" forever and nothing happens.
Does anyone know what to do? I tried to trash pref files and repaired disk permissions. I don't know what else to try.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Why does Batch Monitor hang

Why does batch monitor seem to hang.
It says it's processing, but no of the the times or the percentages done,
Seem to move.
Sometimes I can pause the task then resume and it works.
Sometimes not.
Sometimes I have to start another batch rolling, pause the problem
one and then resume it after the other batch is done.

Same is happening here.
I've tried the Pro-Apps update and trashed the files as instructed but Compressor's Batch Monitor quits unexpectedly.
Ahhh this is really frustrating, am on a tight deadline and really need it to work.
Weird thing is that once its quit its seems to still process the files, which is a worry as I can't trust the quality of what its doing. My client is going to kill me!
Apple sort your "Pro" apps out, they need to be reliable!

Batch Monitor and Compressor do nothing when I submit...

Hey, guys,
I've re-install the whole OS and Final Cut Studio 2,
I use Compressor to encode my video clip,
after setup the format and the destination,
I click the "submit" Button, the batch job send to Batch Monitor,
but Compressor and Batch Monitor do nothing, the status bar didn't run.
Compressor's CPU usage is only about 0.x %.
Any body have the same problem?
How to solve this problem?

hi Thomas!
I have norton 2005 and turned it off when I downloaded itunes and I get the same result. quicktime will open for me however.
NIS 2005 is the usual suspect with "symptomless launch suppression".
first try:
b noir, "itunes wont open" #6, 02:11pm Oct 3, 2005 CDT
... but if no joy with that, try:
Lorraine M, "NIS/i-tunes problem rectified" #2, 01:51am Oct 17, 2005 CDT
keep us posted.
love, b

After following (4.0) setup process, nothing happens, and firefox doesn't install.

Ok, so i follow the steps to get firefox installed to 4.0
The screen flickers afterwards, which usually happens when a new icon is meant to appear on the screen, but nothing happens.

Reboot your computer.
When it's back up again run the installer with administrator permissions.

Thank you christ1. That worked. I did try running it with administrator, but I hadn't rebooted and it didn't work. It did work after I rebooted. I don't know why that should have mattered, but there you go. Thank you again.

Processes in Batch Monitor Disappear

I'm using a fairly large quick cluster that has about 52 processors on it. There is a designated controller that is not sharing any processors for compressing. I'm having a problem where the batch of files compressing completely disappears from the batch monitor. It looks like there is nothing processing, however the qmaster light is still green.
Unfortunately, it's not something I can just wait out and see if files start showing up. Anyone else have this problem or know of some fixes?

Depending on what type of encode I'm doing, Batch Monitor does crazy stuff. When doing transcodes using H.264 codec, I've all but given up on relying on the time estimates being accurate. It will be done when it's done. For everything else, it's fairly reliable so long as I drill down to what's actually being encoded to get the real ETA until finish and I let it get past %5 complete. The initial times to complete encodes, anything from %1-4% are rarely accurate. And sometimes, it loses track what it's reporting on. When that happens, all I do is quit and launch it again.

Batch Monitor shows no progress - qmaster doesn't seem to process anything

I've been using this iMac since my company bought it a year ago and haven't had trouble with compressor until earlier this week when it just stopped working - no error message no crash - its just doesn't process jobs. I haven't updated anything or added any weird software of which I'm aware. Unfortunately I don't have a time machine back up to return to. We have the extended apple care and I haven't reformatted and reinstalled everything yet, I'm desperately trying to avoid that as I've already had to do it once in the past few months and it put me back at least a week of productivity as it took several days to get everything reinstalled. The same is true for taking it to the local apple specialist - took them a week last time I dropped a computer off there.
Whether its a file that I'm opening in compressor or a project I'm exporting from final cut I can wait for 20 hours and no progress is made I've done a great deal of searching on these as well as other online forums and taken lots of advice given to other people with similar problems and nothing seems to work here's what i've tried in a rough order:
Checking for Updates
Resetting back ground processes
Deleting preferences (for compresser et al)
turning sharing on/turning sharing off
starting qmaster using terminal
restarting qmaster using terminal
checking qmaster's settings using terminal and setting 'rendering' and processing to 'on'
Reinstalling compressor,qmaster,qadministrator and batch monitor using Pacifist
When Reinstalling I never click the box to share processing on a network
I've tried starting jobs with it disconnected from my office LAN
I've tried Everything on the compressor troubleshooting basics page including deleting all files associate with compressor, qmaster, qadmin and even motion and reinstalling them.
after each reinstall I always update compressor as it wont even start in snow leopard without updating
I've checked in activity monitor - qmaster is running just fine, it appears.
If anyone has any more suggestions as to things that could be done, please offer them.

try these initial things:
• check the QMASTER logs in /var/logs (or simply use the /applications/utilities/CONSOLE.app). IF its failing or stalled there WILL be a reason for it.
• look for QMASTER crashes logs...... you maybe not be able to red the dump but there will be a common thing in there somewhere...
• stalled?: maybe sitting in the ACTIVE QUEUE with PROCESSING, but doing nothing.. maybe one of the services has failed. I se an EMAIL address up in the compressor to tell if anything broke. works great!
• stalled?: maybe your set up the cluster maybe expecting MANAGED SERVICEs and you cluster is not SETup for that.lots of these things.
anyway, have a look in the console logs and post your stuff. Happy to help you with it.
I have found the latest qmaster and compressor with FCS3 is very good.
LAstly, I have had the ODD thing that utilises PERIAN plugins etc t sit and do nothing. PErian ends up dumping.. anyway all this can be worked around.

I have a late 2008 white macbook. I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi cord. My cannot get my MB to detect an external monitor. Nothing happens when plugged in. Also, my display settings does not have an option for mirroring or arrangment tab

Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success. Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.2mb and starts to process the file. Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out.

Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

I am having problems shutting down my MacBook Pro. I go to the apple and click shutdown or restart, it appears the shutdown process starts, the screen goes blue and the little circle keeps going round and round, but nothing happens even after 30 minutes.

Make sure you quit all your applications before shutting down.
And try resetting the SMC.

Nothing seen in batch monitor

I'm using Compressor 3. I know it's working because its placed a xxxx.m2v icon on my desktop (the destination) but why can't I see anything in the batch monitor, it worked the other day, now it doesn't, nothing's changed on the Mac. And what does 'select a cluster to view batches' mean?

Something has killed your encode (yes, call me Captain Obvious). Anyway to kill anything that's currently being encoded, go to the compressor menu and select the "Reset Background..." option. It should wipe out anything your machine is currently trying to encode. It's probably a good idea to restart your machine after doing this.

HT3180 An Apple TV update was processed (Steps 1 and 2). The Apple TV device then did not indicate it was on. I press the remote button to turn it on and nothing happens. What do I have to do?

An Apple TV update was processed (Steps 1 and 2). The Apple TV device then did not indicate it was on. I press the remote button to turn it on and nothing happens. What is wrong? What do I have to do? I even replace the battery on the remote to insure it was working.

Welcome to the Apple Community Glenn283.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
