Can anyone make distributed processing work?

I have two high-spec iMacs, connected via Thunderbolt and ethernet. I go through the Compressor set up for group transcoding, tried many different settings combinations - it NEVER uses the second machine in the transcode.
Episode Pro on same machines does it no problem. Has anyone got this working in Compressor?

I haven't tried with the 4.1 versions because the only machine I could test it with is running an earlier OS/ It's purposely frozen in that state and will be some time before it's upgraded. I have considered installing 10.9 on an external drive with a FCP X and Compressor and booting from that. If I have the time I'll try it and post the results.
In the meantime, I hope someone else will  have some theories on why your processing setup isn't working and chime in.
Finally, just to add I think a lot of folks have taken the simpler route and opted for multiple instances to speed up their work.

  • Can anyone make --this fix-- work for the FONT rendering issue?

    I found this bug report and proposed fix on the webkit buglist:
    http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14070
    Here is a link that one says can be used to fix the
    rendering issue with bold fonts.
    If anyone can make this work for Safari 3 on XP please let me know....
    Here are the text and link to the how to:
    You can fix rendering issues by changing language for non-Unicode programs. The
    instruction:
    http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx#EVE
    You should restart system after applying setting.
    Hope this helps someone
    If not, then call apple support and complain....
    maybe if their support phones are getting hot... then they
    will fix this horrible bug

    I don't believe this is a support issue, it's rather a Bugdev issue. Use the Bug-Report field in Safari to report this directly to the engineers. I also think the bug is known and will be solved, it's therefore not really in the range of AppleCare. (Beta Software is usually unsupported!)

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

    Read the section E about restore issues.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    But you should be able to mount the sparsebundle and backup the major items if they are not damaged. You might also do a disk verify to see if the corruption can be repaired.
    Have a look here also for restore of selected items.

    Hello estebie67,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Thanks,

  • I bought an Apple Airport and the light is flashing a yellow light! I did this because I live in a basement and the modem is in the first floor. I followed the instruction manual and the Airport is not working still. how can I make my Airport work?

    How can I make the Airport work?

    If there is a modem and not a router on the first floor, then the only possible way to get it to work would be an Ethernet cable connection between the modem and the AirPort Express device.
    I think you need to describe your situation in more detail.

  • Can anyone recommend a process for moving just my OS and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to the SSD?

    I have an early 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. I just removed the superdrive and added an SSD. I want to use it to boot from and also run Photoshop and Lightroom from. Can anyone recommend a process for moving my OS and those programs to the SSD?

    I'm assuming your doing this because of data you don't want pernament on the SSD as they can' be scrubbed like hard drives can.
    Disconnect any other drives.
    1: Format the SSD 1 partition, click the box, option GUID and OS X extended journaled as the format.
    2: Download Carbon Copy Cloner.
    3: Clone your MacintoshHD partition to a blank powered external drive also formatted the same as above.
    4: Hold option/alt key and boot the machine (wired or built in keyboard) and then select the clone to boot from,
    5: Once in the clone, click it's drive name and change the name if it's the same as the OS X boot volume.
    6: On the clone, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new Admin account.
    7: If you need to move files between accounts on the clone, see this. Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine   (be careful that your selecting the correct clones other account)
    8: Once your moving files on the clone is complete, then log into the new user account and delete the old user account.
    9: Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the clone to the SSD.
    10: Use Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on all drives.
    The SSD should be moved to the HD slot and the HD to the optical slot and used as a file drive.
    CCC has a option to not include certain folders like the other user account you don't want, however I tend not to recommend things that are not too far out of line with Apple's ways of doing things as it usually results in bad things occuring. Somewhere in OS X it's recorded of that other user account, so it might still show up in logins and such.
    Also you may want to transfer some files to the other account, so that's why I recommend this method.
    Good Luck

  • I m new to multisim, i need pcb layout of a cicuit. can anyone make it? i m attaching the circuit diagram.

    I m new to multisim, i need pcb layout of a cicuit. can anyone make it? i m attaching the circuit diagram. plzzzzzz, its urgent. i have to submit the project in my college. plz try to make it single layer.
    sad.hussain9136

    Hello,
    Multisim is not the right software for PCB layout design. That would be Ultiboard. With the integration between the 2 you can create your circuit in Multisim and transfer it to Ultiboard to easily design your one layer board. There are a lot of tutorials online that can help you do this. If you feel you need instruction, you can always book a class (online or on-site) to learn Multisim/Ultiboard.
