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.

  • Batch Monitor troubles - no progress

    I'd like to export a project from final cut pro (6.0.4) with compressor (3.0.4), as I did about 50 times before. Compressor opens, I choose my settings and click "send". Batch Monitor opens and that's it. No progress in Batch Monitor, no encoding, no failure code, nothing.
    In the information-box I find:
    pid="261" what="service-request" req-id="06B72FBC-BBB5-4F63-B985-6C4CA034BFF2:1" msg="Error: unrecognized request."></mrk>
    What's wrong? If possible I'd like to avoid to reinstall compressor.
    I already deleted the prefs for compressor and batch Monitor, I repaired disk permissions and restarted.
    Exporting the movie with quicktime works fine, exporting audio only works fine, too.
    What's wrong with Batch Monitor? Any idea someone?
    Thx, Wolfgang

    Sounds like Qmaster has missing assets.
    Qmaster is what controls batch monitors, batch lists.
    You will need to reinstall Qmaster again.

  • Disk Utility-Permissions Repair doesn't seem to repair anything

    I have recently installed Leopard, and so far I haven't had any serious issues. However, I used the 'Repair Permissions' function in Disk Utility today, and it doesn't seem to have repaired anything.
    As a rule, I run 'Repair Permissions' two times in a row, just in case it missed anything the first time around. When I ran it a second time, everything that it had supposedly fixed on the first run was showing up the second time.
    Is there any reason that permissions repair wouldn't be making the necessary changes? If so, how can I fix it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • I see "Enrollment Settings" under device groups but it doesn't seem to do anything.  Is that normal?

    Hello, first time poster.
    I'm new to most things apple aside from basic use of ipads and iphones.  I was put in charge of the ipads for my school district and after some research and effort, I've gotten a mac server (on mavericks) up and running.
    I have setup an MDM, gotten the token, gotten the VPP, etc...
    Everything is working as it seems to be working.  But...
    In Device groups, under settings for a device group I see "Enrollment Settings" with things like "prompt user to enroll device" and "Supervise (IOS only)".  So I added a device to a new group, reset the device in question and nothing.  The settings appeared to do nothing.  Is that normal or am I missing something?

    Which version of Server.app?  3.1.2?
    Verifty local DNS services.  Invalid DNS causes other OS X Server components to have issues.  You'll need DNS on your local network somewhere, whether that's served by OS X Server, or another DNS server doesn't matter.
    Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless, diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll require an administrative password for the sudo, might generate a one-time message about the use of sudo, and will then display some configuration information and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are network or DNS issues.  If you're not in .local or .arpa, that'll usually give you a good view of your local network configuration.
    The device has to be enrolled with Profile Manager server.   How you do that depends on how you want to manage your devices.   There are various overviews of how this stuff works too, if you're getting started: here is one video.

  • When I open firefox 3.6.13, a program called mixer.exe also opens, but it just sits there on the taskbar and doesn't seem to do anything. Mixer.exe is not on my list of add-ons. It uses 872k of memory. What is it? Is it supposed to be there?

    mixer.exe uses 872k of memory according to task manager.
    It shows up on the taskbar whenever I open firefox 3.6.13. It has an icon of a little rectangle with two white arrows attached to the side of the rectangle pointing inward. When I left click or right click on the Mixer icon on the taskbar, nothing happens. What is this mixer.exe? It isn't listed as one of my add-ons.
    Thank you.

  • HT201317 I have a different set of photos for photo stream on each of my computers, and icloud doesn't seem to do anything? Am I doing something wrong?

    Wondering why my icloud seems to do nothing..... I am so tired of using my itunes apple id and my old mobile me id that they keep asking for

    I'm working on Twilight Zone right now. I'd like to have a different image for each episode: the broken glasses from "Time Enough at Last", or the gigantic alien from "To Serve Man"; i.e., an image that will reflect the content of THAT episode. Then, for the grid view, where you simply see the show names of all the shows you have (TZ Season 1, Season 2, etc.), I'd like the generalized 'box cover' image to display. I've tried right-clicking on the SHOW in the grid view, and then pasting an image into the "Artwork" box on the Info tab. I've then used the "Set Poster Frame" function (as outlined in the help section you cited in your reply) to choose a specific image from a specific episode. But iTunes won't retain my choices - it either shows the box cover image for all the episodes, or show the 'Poster Frame' from whichever episode I happened to first perform that function on. Thank you for your help.

    So what do you have, a 100 Mbps Ethernet hand-off with a 20 Mbps bandwidth cap?
    If so, you want to shape for your logical bandwidth cap and then priorize, as desired, in a child policy.
    BTW, you normally don't use LLQ for other than very time critical traffic, e.g. VoIP bearer, and Cisco recommends you don't allocate more than a third of your bandwidth to LLQ.
    I would suggest you just shape for your 20 Mbps and try FQ for all traffic.
    e.g.
    policy-map Sample
    class class-default
    shape average 20000000
    fair-queue
    NB: I'm unsure whether FQ will apply to the shaped traffic, if not:
    policy-map SampleParent
    class class-default
    shape average 20000000
    service-policy SampleChild
    policy-map SampleChild
    class class-default
    fair-queue
    NB: SampleChild is where/how you would provide a custom policy for your shaped traffic.
    PS:
    BTW, you apply the policy with the shaper to the interface.

  • How do I check my spelling, it doesn't seem to do anything

    The spell check does not light up for me to click on it..and I can't also click on the spell check to work before sending emails.

    When you first open a new Write message the 'Spelling' option on Composition Toolbar will be greyed out. This is normal.
    When you start to compose some text, the 'Spelling' option becomes black and is operational.
    However, you may need to set up some options.

  • Kodo.jdbc.AutoIncrementConstraints doesn't seem to do anything

    I have an app_user table and related entity with an auto-increment
    primary key (on MySQL), and a user_role table and related entity with a
    FK pointing to the user PK. Both entities are using application
    identity. The problem is that the user_role record is written out with a
    null value for the FK pointing to the app_user table.
    I've set
    kodo.jdbc.AutoIncrementConstraints: true
    both in the kodo.properties file used for enhancing, and in the
    properties use for runtime user (which are fed to JDBCConfigurationImpl
    via the fromProperties() method). However, the flag simply seems to do
    nothing whether it's set or not...
    The user is first created, then the role is added, then either calling
    makePersistent or attachCopy has exactly the same effect, the user and
    the role are written out, but the role has a null fk... Right now
    there's no not-null constraint on the fk, but I believe it would be
    triggered if ti existed.
    Can anybody confirm that this should work ok?

    Please ignore the message below. While I was properly using the
    jdbc-auto-increment vendor extension for some other tables, it was
    somehow left out on these two. Adding it resolved the problem.
