Compressor 3.5 'my computer' cluster option missing

Hello
I'm hoping someone can help me. I am using Compressor 3.5 and it's been working absolutely fine until today when I sent a project for FCP to compressor, added all my settings and destination, clicked submit but when the drop down box appears, the submit button is greyed out. For the 'cluster' option where it used to say 'my computer' now says 'none' and I can't seem to add anything here. I've tried the troubleshoot options of deleting caches for qmaster and compressed, deleting the 'com.apple.Compressor.CompressorSharedService.plist' and 'com.apple.compressor.Compressor.plist' etc but nothing seems to be working. I've tried googling this problem but I can't find a solution. I'm using a Mac OS X 10.9.4 (3.5 GHz intel Core i7)
Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Kaylee

Oops! Forgot that Mavericks broke the Qmaster Preference Pane. You can still access it through the CLI (Command Line Interface), using Terminal. See this doc.
Alternatively, download and run the free and safe Compressor Repair form Digital Rebellion.
Let us know how you make out.

  • Compressor post-processing applescript and cluster

    I'm having a lot of trouble using a post-processing applescript. I have a preset that pumps out an mp3 from an hdv .mov. the post-processing script does some funky stuff and should pump out an xvid .avi. when submit the job to "This Computer" it works fine, I get the .mp3 and the script gets kicked off and generates .avi's. When the job is submitted to our cluster, however, the job fails immediately, doesn't generate either mp3s or .avi's. the log has the following:
    <----snip---->
    pid="250" msg="Hard-linked source file to cluster storage."/>
    <log tms="226012897.974" tmt="02/29/2008 13:21:37.974" pid="250" msg="Job resource error: System Error = 1 {Operation not permitted}Failed to read filethread terminated due to exception (remote exception). This is likely caused by missing or renamed watermark filter file."/>
    <mrk tms="226012897.975" tmt="02/29/2008 13:21:37.975" pid="250" kind="end" what="service-request" req-id="D729F684-764C-439E-9A06-888BB4C9405C:1" msg="Preprocessing job request error (exception=Job resource: System Error = 1 {Operation not permitted}Failed to read filethread terminated due to exception (remote exception))."></mrk>
    </logs>
    </service>
    </services>
    <----snip---->
    all requisite files have been placed on either a global filesystem (OD home directory for the post-processing script itself) or copies have been distributed to all nodes (a requisite to the applescript). The submitting user has full read/write permissions to the working dir and any subfolder.
    Any ideas?

    In case anyone runs up against this one, I found a solution/workaround. It turns out that when submitting the job to the queue, qadmin would copy the applescript over to the shared folder. During this copy, it would change attributes of the file such that the OS thought the .app was a classic application and would refuse to run it.
    Workaround: in compressor preferences, set "Cluster Options:" to "Never copy source to cluster"
    Luckily this worked for our setup as we assume all source media and scripts are already on a global filesystem.

  • Compressor 3's QAdministrator hogging cluster

    Hi Folks,
    I'm on latest version of Lion, FCX, Compressor 4 and latest for Compressor 3 from FCS3.
    I can create a cluster just fine through system preferences, but Compressor 3 " hogs " it and won't let Compressor 4 see it.
    By that, I mean, I can go into QAdministrator from within my Final Cut Studio folder and it sees the cluster. Then I can adjust and create my cluster, go into Compressor 3 and after clicking Submit, I see it as an option.
    If I bypass Qadmin from FCS and go into FCX and choose share - send to compressor, version 4 launches, but if I go to Apple QMaster on the menu bar, it will not see the cluster. Therefore, I can't use it upon submitting.
    I tried trashing QAdmin from FCS, but that did nothing.
    Any thoughts? very frustrating b/c I used to export a self-contained QT from FCP7 and used BitVice to compress m2vs for DVDs as it automatically recognizes all cores.
    Unfortunately with Compressor 4, i still have to tweak settings so it will use all cores - but that doesn't seem to be working either!
    I'd use Compressor 3, but of course, when you share - compressor from within FCX, it goes to the new version.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,

    Hi Kleeber, quiet an interesting problem. I dont have the same environment as you do so I'm going to suggest that these might be places you could look.
    it seems compressor.app V4 administers all Apple Qmaster itself via the Compressor.app | application menu Apple Qmaster and maintains this state information in ~/Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster. (getting tired oft yping this in .. ). This is unlike Qmaster V3 that was managed autonamously via the system preferences/Qmaster and maintained it goodies elsewhere... you know all this..
    so back in July 2011 this made me think that the two compressors (V3 and V4) were not meant to chat to each other.. any ideas?
    further the CLI interfaces for qmasterprefs, qmaster and compressor are now buried in the content of the new FCPX apps.. yep fine with that but they had Links (ln / alias) in the V3 and FCP 7 days where one could simply invoke these form the cli via terminal.app ... all this you probably know too. Interestingly Apple have documented very well in detail the use of the compressor cli command in the Apple Compressor Users Guide V4.. yes all this is known.
    what appears to be missing is the use of the qmasterprefs and qmaster cli commands in the documentation of Apple Qmaster V4 (see the pdf). this strikes me as that this is no longer a supported interface for qmaster and tha one MUST USE the Compressor.app | application menu Apple Qmaster UI.. any clues on this welcomed!
    so?? well this strikes me as a bit odd. I would think a CLUSTER is a CLUSTER... I too use Apple Qadministrator and make use of managed clusters.. seems more stabel that the Quickcluster in FCPX/Com.app V4).. for me any way.
    Thus, I would think that in a rendering sense (Nuke etc) you could submit a render to a Qmaster cluster regardless of it origin (Compressor V4 + Qmaster V4 or Qmaster V3 and Compressor V3.5)... just a thought. Same with the transcoder.
    I can try and account (guess?) for why Compressor V4 cant see the Cluster you created via Apple Qadminstrtor V3.. Maybe because the state information for the cluster(s) is now maintained in ~/Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster (user directory btw!)... So Id imagine that FCPX / Compressor V4 are expecting goodies in here. I just checked and its seems not. Instead Apple Qadminitrator is using many ports to see whats aorund. Theres loads of undescribed file handles opened as well.. Thus unless the application has radically changed from qmaster 3 and Qmaster 4, then I'd imagine that Apple Qmaster4 and V4 should be able to see the clusters! Someone reading this may enlighten us.. please do.
    In short its most possible that FCPX + compressor V4 + apple qmaster v4 are tied together more that I have tried to describe above. Its very strange that the cluster you created under Apple Qadministrator cannot be found when using the workflow:
    FCPX:send to compressor ; compressor V4:submit to cluster: cluster not in the list.
    In the Compressor V4.app are you able to Mount the Cluster Storage? (+shift+m)? If so then thats a good sign because it uses ports to find these it seems.
    do you have any further developments?

  • How do I view and open all my files again that are on my external hard drive?? Error message saying 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' Three options are Initialize, Ignore or Eject.

    I have recently purchased Toshiba 1TB hard drive and I set it up and I was able to transfer all my files onto it such as my music, photos, documents. I had correctly ejected and used it again and all these files were safely stored and accessible afterwards. However after I rebooted my computer as it had been going slow and I had too much clogging it up once I reconnected the external hard drive I have error message saying 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' Three options are Initialize, Ignore or Eject. How do I access all my files? I set it up to work on both mac and windows. I have tried both another mac and windows computer and same issue occurs?? I am worried that all my personal files are gone but am confused as the drive has had absolutely no damage to it as it was in a very short time frame and its never left the same spot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for your quick response. I had a look at your discussion... I tried it on a Windows machine and I thought that was compatible with ExFAT?
    Therefore I need to attempt to use my external hard drive with a machine that boasts OS X 10.6.5 or above and then it should work?
    Thanks

  • Errors "A media driver your computer needs is missing." or "Windows cannot install required files" upon attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 64-bit

    I'm attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 [64-bit]
    I am currently being prevented from installing by a "A media driver your computer needs is missing." error, which occurs fairly early in the process. I've interpreted further text in the message as a suggestion that it's a DVD, USB or some other
    similar driver issue. However, as I've been able to attempt each install through booting from DVD and USB, I'm not convinced this is the issue.
    I'm currently installing to a 128Gb SSD drive. I have installed Windows 10 TP on my laptop's SSD with no issues.
    On a few occasions the installation has continue with the installation, and then failed at about 6% with the following error:
    "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007045D". I have not removed the installation USB or DVD.
    I did not have this issue when installing build 9841, so am currently assuming this is an issue with build 10041.
    Apologies if this query has been posed before, a search did not show up this issue.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks for trying to assist!
    I attempted removing/deleting partitions and formatting the SSD as part of the install process. I have also tried installing via USB and DVD with the same issues.
    As part of the troubleshooting, I attempted to install a different OS. I was able to successfully install Linux Mint 17.1 with no issues. This further solidifies my impression this is an issue with Windows.
    I will try a different USB port, appreciate the suggestion, didn't think it would make a different given the various methods already attempted.

  • Acrobat 9 Std - Comments- 'Enable for Commenting And Analysis In Reader' option Missing

    Hi,
    We've purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, and need to enable comments in Reader for PDFs that we create in Acrobat.  The option to "Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Reader" seems to be missing from the "comments" menu, even though all the videos/tutorials insist it's there.
    I haven't found any threads about this yet, and searched google for the missing option + "missing" along with other things.  Nothing related came up.
    Any ideas on what we could try?  Or why this is happening?
    Thanks!

    I don't think Standard has this option. Acrobat Pro does.

  • A media driver your computer needs is missing

    I have been trying reinstall my windows 64 bits, but I always get the message a media driver your computer needs is missing. I have tried to install different isos, tried to boot from dvd and usb and i also tried to download all drivers and put all together on flash drive to load on the installation via browser button.

    Hi:
    Did you try using Recovery USB ? If not, I'll try that first.
    My only other suggestion would be try to download ISO again through MSDN account & make a bootable USB , may be the previous ISO was corrupted somehow. I don't know if they still work in OEM machines though, whichever way you download it from.

  • "Deploy" Option Missing from VS

    We just finished installing SharePoint 2013 RTM and VS 2012 for development purposes. I also installed the Preview 2 of the Office and SharePoint Dev Tools. The "Deploy" option which was previously present in Visual Studio to deploy SharePoint projects seems
    to have disappeared. Oddly, I can however still tell the projects to Debug, which does the equivalent of Deploy + starts the debugger.
    This is an extremely annoying issue as it is much faster to Deploy without starting the debugger. If anyone has any solution I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

  • Grad Filter Edit option missing (3.5?)

    After Loading the 3.5 RC I noticed when I use Grad Filters I do not see any of the guide lines or selection dots anymore.
    It lets me apply a Grad Filter and I see the effect, but once I move out of the that specific filter I cannot go back and select it to edit or delete.  I can remove it by resetting all Grads.
    I noticed this after loading 3.5, but I'm hoping it is something else since I haven't seen anyone else bring this up.
    Any ideas?

    I figured it was something that simple. Thanks
