Can't reinstall compressor

OS 10.6.5, MacPro 6 core 3.33GHz, 10GB RAM
FCS2 (FCP 6.0.6, Compressor 3.0.5)
Couldn't get Compressor to work with QuickCluster. Kept failing.
Tried Compressor Repair. No luck.
Decided to use FCP Remover and remove Compressor and QuarterMaster and then reinstall using instructions on Digital Rebellion site.
When inserted FCS install DVD and tried to install Compressor, the installation failed, saying it couldn't find the needed data or some such error.
Now I'm in a pickle. Any help appreciated.

i had this problem and the solution i used was as follows: ctr click on the logic install icon. Go to 'Show Original'. It will jump to the proper intaller. Next to this you will see a folder that contains all the proper install mpkg files. you should find the compressor install package there. run this and it should install.

  • Can't reinstall Compressor 3

    Can't reinstall Compressor 3.
    OK.. so don't ask how, but I managed to delete the compressor app from my apps folder.
    Thing is, when I try to reinstall, the option is greyed out.
    Anyone know what I need to do to reinstall it?
    I'm thinking there are some library files or something needs to be deleted or modified. I reinstalled Compressor 2 which came with my FCS I, but it just lies there when I click it.
    Any help would be much appreciated as it is much needed!

  • I can't reinstall Compressor!

    Okay, I'm having the same problem as everyone else....can't find background process,etc.
    So I deleted all that I was supposed to...I've got FCS1 w/ Compressor 2. I put the DVD studio disc in to reinstall Apple Qmaster and Compressor. When I get to the screen on which apps to install I can deselect DVD studio and I can toggle on Apple Q....but for some reason I can not select to install Compressor.
    Compressor is grayed out and it won't let me check it! Is there something that I didn't delete that is causing this? I have had and used compressor for that past 2 years...now what? I recently installed Leopard...if I were to reinstall Tiger would that help or fix this problem? And would I just put the install discs for Tiger to get rid of Leopard?
    Am I the only one that is having this problem? Along w/ the many other problems.

    I would suggest downloading AppZapper for a clean uninstall. After that, you don't start with the DVD Studio Pro disc. Start with the Final Cut disc. That will give you the full menu of the things to install.
    I too have FCS1 and have done everything I can to get this to work per all the instructions out there, but it still won't. I can't even get Batch Monitor to reinstall.

  • Can't reinstall scandriver

    Hi, due to a modemproblem I had to reinstall my MAC OS X system, everything works well since then, except that I can't reinstall my scandriver again. Every time I try to install the drivers for my CANOSCAN N670U, the installationprogamm of CANONTOOLBOX for OS X says:"error creating file 1008:5,-5000 acces denied", and when I install the driver SCANGEAR the programm says: "cannot acces a file named N0670U_library.shlb (error code=-5000); N0670U_buttonmanager.app (error code=-5000)". I asked canonservice for advice but they don't know. Must have something to do with the reinstall of MAC OS X, because before the reinstall the scanner was ok. thanks for any help.

  • Cannot reinstall Compressor

    I am running the Final Cut HD bundle and have just upgrade all of it to Final Cut Pro Studio with the upgrade package. I ran into the compressor "cannot connect to background processes," error in the new version of compressor right off the bat so I dumped everything I could before I had to try and reinstall it. Finally, I had to uninstall compressor.
    Problem:
    Now when I try and reinstall compressor from the Final Cut Studio DVD custom install menu, it will go through the install process, but compressor is not installed. Do I need to reinstall compressor from the previous bundle, then install the update from the update DVD? I ask because the old bundle disks are far away at the moment.

    do a search for uninstall compressor. You may have receipts of updates. Follow David Slater's advice.

  • Can't reinstall FC Studio

    I had a problem with compressor 2 saying, can't connect to background processing, so i did a search and found an article saying to delete the compressor qmaster packages and apps. And then reinstall compressor,

    Because you are running lion.. FCS 6 is a Power PC app and Lion doesn't support Power PC anymore.. So you can't install it.. Three options..
    1. Revert back to Snow Leopard.
    2. Purchase FCP X... 
    if you can't stand FCP X
    3. Call apple directly, 1800-MYAPPLE and ask to purachse FCS 3 for $999... (its FCP 7)
    I just got FCS 3 today through apple phone sales..

  • My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2.  I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

    Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
    I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

    hi Limnos,
    I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th.  (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists)  The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29.  (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
    I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
    I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up. 
    Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
    Thank you for your help!

  • Upgraded to snow leopard, now browsing SLOW can I reinstall?

    I wasn't having any real problems with Leopard, but when Chrome stopped updating flash for it, I decided what the heck, I'll upgrade (against my better judgement). 
    So, I ordered my Snow Leopard disk directly from apple.  Backed up my Mac with Carbonite. Then installed SL on my Mac.  At one point it hung up, but after I eventually decided to shut off the computer and restart it, everything appeared fine. I also ran all the updates so my safari is 5.1.7 and my SL is 10.6.8.
    Here is my system info: (I  replaced the s/n with the ****)
    Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac8,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          6 MB
      Memory:          2 GB
      Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:          IM81.00C1.B00
      SMC Version (system):          1.30f1
      Serial Number (system): ************
      Hardware UUID:          *************
    Browsing has become horribly slow.  I'm always getting the beach ball, and it Chrome and Safari keep becoming nonresponsive.  I didn't realize I was supposed to do a REPAIR DISK BEFORE my upgrade.  I have run REPAIR DISK several times now. I heard that there were a handful of items that would repeatedly show up as needing to be repaired, even though they are actually ok, BUT I just ran a repair disk AGAIN and there must have been 150 line items to repair.  It said it would take 39 minutes. But it actually took about 15. 
    I realized that "rosetta" was not selected when I installed (but I don't run any windows programs anyway).  Also, once when I got hung up in Safari, I was in the Zynga gaming site and multiple windows started showing up telling me to run in 32 bit mode. I tried changing to 32 bit (even though it didn't seem to make sense because I'm not running anything that would require  32 bit) but it made no difference.  I've since returned it to 64.
    So I'm wondering, Can I REINSTALL Snow Leopard?  Since I've done a repair disk again, can I just stick the disk in and try to install like normal? Do I have to back anything off?  I've had my Mac for years, but NEVER had any problems with it, and never had to upgrade so this is new to me.  (I was used to Microsoft before, that caused me problems CONSTANTLY, especially needing to upgrade constantly.
    BTW, I don't have a LOT of different docs stored on my Mac, just a ton of pictures (which was my reason for needing to make sure it was all backed up). 
    Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.  I would like to be able to browse without having to FORCE QUIT every 10 minutes.

    I've done multiple safari resets.  I've also repaired permissions multiple times.  So here's what I've done. I did another disk permission repair, then put the snow leopard disk back in and ran the install again.  It acted a little odd, for example in the middle of the install the computer shut down and started up again on its own.  I just left it.  Then, it seemed to be stuck on 1 minute left for a solid 20 minutes, but eventually I got messages that it finished. Then, after doing a repair again I noticed safari was reset back to 4.0, so I ran all the other upgrades. Did repairs between each. 
    I also noticed that Flash player wasn't upgraded to current, so I did that. 
    So safari wants to take a while to open now when I click it.  I usually get a beach ball.  Also happening with Chrome. 
    I play 2 games on Zynga, and have since discovered that I can't play one of them (rubyblast) anymore because it the brower (doesn't matter if its firefox, chrome or safari) lags. 
    Is there some way for me to see how much memory these games require, and if that could be my problem?  I honestly don't know much about Mac memory.  I don't have many applications installed except for what came iwth my computer 4 years ago.  I do have a HUGE number of pictures on my mac though (and since iphoto duplicates those pictures, I have nearly double). 
    Am I missing something?  I didn't want to upgrade from Leopard because my Mac ran just fine. I only did so because Chrome dropped support for it.  I like using chrome occasionally.
    If someone can help I'd appreciate it. I have 3 days left on a carbonite trial (which isn't enough time to restore my Mac if I need to) so I'd like to think I'm just missing a common thing.

  • I attempted to install an update to my iTunes and got a "C   Runtime Error" message. Now when I attempt to open iTunes I get a pop up that says to reinstall iTunes. But I can't open iTunes to reinstall it. How can I reinstall iTunes?

    I received notification of ANOTHER iTunes update being available, so I attempted to install the update on my Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. During the update process, two pop-up announced that I had a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" Runtime Error, R6034 and another pop-up that states "iTunes" iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. However, I cannot open iTunes. I get the same pop-up telling me to reinstall iTunes.
    I had many songs in my iTunes library that came from sources other than iTunes, mostly my own CDs. Plus, I have nearly $100 credit remaining in the iTunes store. I'm converned I will lose the songs and store credit if I reinstall iTunes. So my questions are:
    1. How can I reinstall iTunes?
    2. If I reinstall it, will I lose my store credit and non-iTunes songs?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.

    You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that.  If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online.  You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well.  YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • I recently purchased an iMac from a friend who factory reset it, and now I can't reinstall Mountain Lion?

         As the title says, I can't reinstall Mountain Lion. When I turn on the iMac, it send me straight to OX X Utilities. When I click on Reinstall Mountain Lion, it asks for my ID, but then states I did not purchase Mountain Lion. How do I fix this issue? I've tried asking Apple Support, but to no avail. I don't think the guy I spoke with understood what was going on.
    I cannot get around OS X Utilities. There are only four options for me.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion
    Back Up (tried, nothing comes up)
    Get Help Online (which is what I'm doing here)
    Erase or Restore Utilities (I've checked this, it says my disks are not malfunctioning)
         My friend suggested signing into his ID to reinstall but when we did, it also said this ID has not purchased Mountain Lion. We logged into Apple Support went to registed devices and there was nothing there. I think he may have used another ID which is he searching for the info for. If we get the right ID, then maybe it will let us sign in on his name and reinstall Mountain Lion. But if he can't, or Apple won't take his ID, then I'm at a loss for options.
         So now I'm here, hoping someone else who bought a used iMac from a friend who factory reset it and needs info on how to reinstall Mountain Lion can help me. I don't know what else to do. If I can't get this thing sorted out, I'll have to drive to the apple store. The closest one is 60 miles away, so I'm not looking forward to that. Is that my only option now? What can I do?
    tl;dr I bought a used iMac from a friend who factory reset it, and now I don't know how to reinstall Mountain Lion. What are my options?

    If the system didn't ship with Mountain Lion originally and you didn't purchase Mountain Lion yourself, then you will need to purchase. A purchase by the system's original owner cannot be transferred to you.
    Unless you have another system on which you have purchased Mountain Lion, you will need to first install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the iMac, for which you'll need either the original installation disks, if the iMac came with 10.6, or a retail copy of 10.6. Install 10.6 and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, and then you can buy Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, presuming of course that the imac can support Mountain Lion. See:

  • I reset and erased my iphone 4 and now I can`t reinstall it! After I choose a language, region. and wifi, it says Please, try again later or contact customer care

    I reset and erased my iphone 4 and now I can`t reinstall it! After I choose a language, region. and wifi, it says Please, try again later or contact customer care. I tried to do with iTunes, and iTunes even sees this iphone, but it`s like blank, there is nothing I can do in iTunes. It uploaded last software for this iPhone 4, but when it tries to do the reserve copy of iphone first, it shows a mistake. And ask to disconnect and connect the device again, which, obviously, doesn`t help.

    This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
    Is this the case...?
    If so...
    Then... Sorry... But...
