Compressor 3.5.3 and OS 10.9.3 kernel bug/error.

Since I upgraded my Late 2009 iMac to 10.9.3, specific tasks appear to delay. When I check my Activity Monitor: kernel_task takes up 400-800MB of RAM and I have two instances of both Compressord and Qmastertaskd running as red and (not responding). I tried killing them. They only restarted, again not responding.
Compressor appears to work fine, I tested on an audio file. I did hear there might be some Compression errors related to 10.9.3, but I didn't see them when I just converted an audio file. I know Compressor 3.5.3 is an old version, and eventually will be unsupported. If this is the case, there should be a notification somewhere. There was when 10.8 stopped supporting FCP 6. If this is a bug that somehow conflates the Qmaster and compressor codes, I hope there is a fix. The kernel task bloat doesn't bother me on the iMac much, but if this is doesn't have a fix, I can't upgrade my editing machine to 10.9.3.
I never had an issue on 10.9.2, so I don't know what this could be. Compressor still runs fine, so I don't even really understand what Compressord is doing.

Sorry about the months I failed to respond. I need to sort out my email issues. Maybe I'll do that with Yosemite. My iMac has 4GB of RAM, but my problem wasn't high use, it was just freezing compressord, and rather than force quit quitting it, it would just start a new one. After I upgraded to 10.9.5, I never noticed this problem, I don't think. And I've used Compressor 3.5 just fine in Yosemite, so whatever it was, I think it was settled.

Compressor doesn't open and show windows properly

Haven't used Compressor for a while and when I open it I don't get the windows, just the bar at the top. Choosing a windows layout doesn't work and although you can switch on the inspector, settings/destination and history windows I can't display the window that you drag the files, settings and destinations into. I've tried re-installing, no good. All other FCS programs work fine, before and after re-install, anyone know what's going on?

Tried all the above suggestions, just had to properly uninstall FCS with FCS Remover then re-install. Window display is fine now but I'm not sure if it's actually doing anything, submit a job but nothing seems to be produced ...looking into that.

Video Output from compressor is still fuzzy and delayed on my site

My web video output is choppy and pixelated and I'm shooting on an excellent HD camera 1080i
I setup compressor for HD 564X960 and the output is 78Mb (this is a 1 minute and 32 seconds video)
I then us flash to convert it to a Flash 8 high quality flv
the result is crap. Its blurred and choppy on my site. I just watched the HD presentation on the new SDK for iPhone and the window was huge and the quality was fantastic?
What's the secret ?

Ok, a number of problems here.
First are you using Compressor to compress your video, then Flash to compress it again to a FLV? If so, that is causing a lot of your problems right there. You are double compressing a video (never a good idea). Take you uncompressed video file into Flash and create your FLV.
Second, you are using Flash to compress your video. Flash is horrible at compression. Sorenson Squeeze will produce much better results. Or if you are creating H.264 files, just use Compressor to create a H.264 file and then change the extension to .flv
Finally, if the quality is bad then you might need to increase the bitrate. What did you set your bitrate to?

It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

When opening iTunes I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled, reinstalled many times - nothing! help please.

When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.

Doublechecking. Have you also tried the following user tip?

I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
Thanks

The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

[Solved] Kernel BUG at include/linux/netdevice.h:501, and sky2?

So, ever since a certain point in time between kernel 3.11.x and now (3.12.5-1), I have been getting this strangely inconsistent error on bootup. I would estimate that about 3 out of every 4 reboots leads to this error message, and the bootup process terminates in a black screen and what (appears) to be a system hang. However I CTL+ALT+F2, log in, and I output dmesg to a boot log, and everything my eyes have seen is now your visual property as well. The remaining 25% of my reboots patches through and boots directly to my window manager successfully. Now the output seems to be screaming to me "sky2 is the culprit", as EIP seems to be pointing in its general direction at the time of error. However, I am more inclined to believe that my hardware's interaction with the driver is more likely to be responsible. If sky2 was actually a real problem, I doubt I would be the only one complaining about this. Nonetheless, I am quite vexed, and would greatly appreciate anbody's help here. Much appreciated, and perhaps I can provide you with some other (perhaps) useful information:

UPDATE: So I ran some low level troubleshooting and decided to test out the linux-lts (3.10.24-1-lts) kernel. No problems at all. Everything works fine with my ethernet adapter and the sky2 module. It just appears that something occurred in the newer kernels to break the interface for at least one Marvell adapter. This solution works for now, but I suppose I should file a bug report eventually. In the meantime, any insight is welcome.

I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message.

I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message. Now I can't use iTunes at all. Any ideas?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Maybe the preferences file is corrupted. You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
your user name/Library/Preferences
Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again.
If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem. You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.
