Can't get mpeg-2 to render with 2 macs

I've got a G5 quad and a MacBook. Trying to get them be nice. I've spent hours. Done distributed rendering in LightWave & After Effects a million times. This software is the most bizarre I've ever seen.
The manual tells you what is possible but doesn't actually tell you how to do anything.
I want to render a movie in FCP into mpeg-2 which I've done using compressor many times. Thought it would be nice if the MacBook would help.
Please tell me in simple steps how to do it. BTW MacBook is only 10.4.11. Is that the problem?

What version of Final Cut Studio are you running?

  • Can't get past the blue screen with "starting Mac OS X"

    I am having problems with starting my iMac. It gets to the blue screen with "starting Mac OS X" but won't go beyond that point. I was able to get the disc drive open with the help of other posts, holding down the mouse while turning on the computer, but the drive won't stay closed with the install disc in it. I have even tried holding down the "c" key while restarting the computer and it wouldn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So much info that I could really use. Also, please keep in mind that I am not too computer savy. Simple language please.
    Thanks

    If the steps I provided in my earlier post are not helping, then I see your options at this point as follows:
    1. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
    2. Performing an Archive and Install. For important tips on this, see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the specified order.
    3. Take the computer in for service. If there is an Apple Retail Store in your area, I'd recommend taking it there. You may wish to call ahead to make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
    Good luck!

  • How can I get my iPod to sync with my Mac (running OS X 10.5.8) if I don't want to upgrade my Mac to OS X 10.6.8?

    I just tried to sync my iPod and got the message that I have to update iTunes, but my Mac is running OS X 10.5.8. I wouldn't have updated the OS on my iPod if I had known this would be a problem. Any suggestions on how I can get my devices to sync again without updating my Mac OS?

  • Can't get my facetime to work with my mac and my wifes i phone touch

    my face time does not work with my macbook connecting to my wifes i phone touch and we are in the same room she calls me my mac rings then cuts straight off. My mac will not connect to hers at all

    Out of curiosity, are you trying to connect each device using the same account? If so, the devices may be getting confused on which one it's calling from and which one it should be trying to contact. You'd need two separate accounts/numbers in order for this to work.
    For example my Macbook Pro's factime connection is using [email protected] as a host, and my iPhone is using it's cell number xxx-xxx-xxxx. If I click on my number from my Macbook Pro, it rings my iPhone for a Facetime. Or if I tap on my email address (associated with Facetime for the Macbook Pro) from my iPhone, it starts the Facetime and my Macbook Pro will ring.
    If this is not the right answer, please respond with more detail on how you have your connection set up.
    Cheers!

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

    How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
    When I create the project I get these files:
    dist/lib/libreria1.jar
    dist/lib/libreria2.jar
    dist/software.jar
    The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
    libreria1/libreria1.jar
    libreria2/libreria2.jar
    libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
    I added the following code to the build.xml:
    <target name="-post-jar">
    <jar jarfile="dist/software.jar">
    <zipfileset src="${dist.jar}" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria1.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria2.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <manifest>
    <attribute name="Main-Class" value="pacco.classeprincipale"/>
    </manifest>
    </jar>
    </target>
    Of course there is also the project folder:
    src/pacco/classeprincipale.form
    src/pacco/classeprincipale.java
    Can you tell me what is wrong? The error message I get is as follows:

    How can I get a picture to go with my email signature when sending emails from my iPad? Only a square box shows up on my signature not the actual picture I iploaded in my settings.

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • I have ical on two computers. Can't get ical (vers. 4) with OS 10.6 to copy to older desk top with OS 10.4 with ical vers 2. Is there a way to do this?

    I have ical on two computers. Can't get ical (vers. 4) with OS 10.6 to copy to older desk top with OS 10.4 with ical vers 2. Is there a way to do this?

    No. iCal isn't just the program you open to see the calendars, there are other things going on beneath the surface, and it's hooked into the System. 10.4 doesn't have the facilities to run iCal intended for 10.6.

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
