Compressor 4.0.3 won't use cluster

OK, I give up. I am running FPX and Compressor on a relatively new iMac. I have set up clusters multiple times (regular and Quick), made sure volumes are mounted, successfully (I think) created a cluster showing processors from my MacBook Pro on the same network and network segment. Compressor and QMaster seem to be happy with what I have done. I have run Compressor Repair on both machines, reset background processing on both machines... BUT no matter what I do, when I click the Submit button, the only option is "This Computer" and the batch only uses the local computer. I can not get my cluster to appear as an option in the pull-down menu next to "Cluster:" after hitting Submit.
Any more ideas on how to actually USE a cluster so I can take advantage of using the other computer to share the load?

I've used Compressor for a few years and my experience is as follows:
Here are my Mac Pro specs:
- Early 2009 (2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Zeon)
- 32GB OWC RAM
- Mountain Lion running on 120GB OWC SSD (installed in one of the optical bays)
- Also, I've used same/similar setting on Lion and Snow Leopard.
- 2 identical internal RAID-0 (2x3TB HDDs & 2x3TB HDDs). 1 RAID for FCP X Events and the other for FCP X Projects.
A little about my video backgrond. My wife and I started our video company in 2005. We have filmed/edited hundreds of weddings, a few big non-wedding events, and maybe 50-60 commercials. Every job was delivered on DVD and/or BluRay. Sometimes the final project is delivered in ProRes, but still, the client wants a DVD copy as well. That means lots and lots of compressor time.
Compressor is absolutly awesome if qmaster is up and running. Keyword "if". Usually (80% of the time) qmaster would run good (using all 16 cores, 8 real cores and 8 virtual cores) at maximum capacity. Today, I can't even get it started 80% of the time. I have bought Compressor Repair tool, I've read hundreds of posts on the web, literally spent days reading blogs, deleting, reinstalling, trashing preferences even downgraded ot Lion to get Compressor/Qmaster working. I cannot pinpoint what exactly worked, but qmaster would start properly once in a while. But then in a week or 2 it would fail and won't start again. Then I would go through the same cycle of trashing preferences, deleting, redownloading and reinstalling compressor. Very much annoying and reminds me of my Windows days.
The only real fix for Compressor I found is Adobe Encoder. The only sort-of drawback to Adobe Encoder is the price for NVIDIA Quadro 4000, which is $700. Encoder does faster and better scaling with CUDA engine. We've used it for the last 4-5 months and it hasn't crashed a single time. Just as fast and just as good quality encoding. We're now in process of moving all of our projects from FCP X to Premiere.

My iPhone 5 won't use 3G when 4G isn't available. I live in the middle of nowhere, but with my iPhone 4 I could use the Internet on 3G just fine without needing wifi. Now I don't get anything unless I'm on wifi. My phone says '4G' but then says 'could not activate cellular data' or gives me the gray google failed because you dont have internet page. I have AT&T if that matters. I just want to get Internet and my email like I used to be able to. Slow 3G is fine with me, but I need it to work on my iPhone 5. Can anyone help me?

Oh ok, thank you! So I just got a bum SIM card when I bought this phone or something?

MBP won't use full external display

Hello,
I got home today, turned on my computer while connected to an external monitor and all of a sudden, my MBP (13", late 2011) won't use the whole display. Instead the screen is squashed and i got two black gaps on either side of the monitor. The resolution is set to 1920*1080 as always, so that isn't the problem. Also, when I set the monitor to all other resolutions, it stretches all the way out, it's only on 1080 it doesn't work even though 1920*1080 should fill out the whole screen, while some of the other resolutions shouldn't. I have the displays set to extend, so the MBP's display is set to 1280*800 as usually, and everything functions perfectly on both displays except for the gaps.
I've tried closing the lid and playing around with the external monitor itself, but I get the same results. I've also reset the PRAM and SMC; same thing.
I can also add that on the Windows part (Boot Camp installed) it just plain won't recognize the external display at all. Everything worked this morning...
Thanks in advance!

Wow, excuse me, figured it didn't matter much, given that is has worked flawlessly before. Just figured it was a software issue. Anywho, external monitor is an Acer P246H 24" I believe.
I have tried the detect displays too, and I've also tried and see whether it was the monitor tuning in weirdly on the resolution, but it doesn't even have an option to squash the image, only move it side to side.
Since it is a plug and play screen, and it has worked before, I figure it will work again, if there is someway to reset the drivers and make the computer reset it's external display settings so that it will just recognize the display as a new one the next time it is plugged in? The WIndows and OS X problem happened on the exact same time though (after i rebooted from Windows into OS X after not being able to connect, the resolution problem came).

When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
means
one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
again
Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

You have popunders for Firefox 4 and I can't block them. I won't use the browser at all until this problem is fixed. leland.dobbs@ucsf.edu

I have all popups blocked, but can't prevent the Firefox 4 informational one, which is very annoying. See above. I need a solution to this or I won't use Firefox anymore.

Is it the "you just upgraded" page appearing in a new window? That is not supposed to appear after the first time. This article can help with troubleshooting the problem: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20has%20just%20updated%20tab%20shows%20each%20time%20you%20start%20Firefox Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].
If it is some other page, you may have malware or a very poorly behaved add-on. Can you post the URL of the pop-under?

PS CS5 32-bit won't use GPU acceleration

I have CS5 32- and 64-bit installed on both my desktop and my notebook. My desktop runs Win 7 x64 Biz and has an nVidia GTX275 display card. The notebook is a Sony runs Win 7 x64 Home and uses the nVidia GT300M. Though the notebook is numerically higher, the GTX is suppose to be more advanced.
This is my problem: The notebook uses the GPU Open GL feature without a problem in either version. My desktop, however, only uses the Open GL for the 64-bit. In 32-bit, the option is grayed out. Can anyone point me to why the desktop 32-bit Photoshop can't/won't use the GPU hardware acceleration? I have the most recent drivers installed, so I know that's not the issue. Thanks.
Nemo

Yes, the driver is the issue.
Photoshop only enables the GPU support if the driver says it is capable, and if the driver doesn't return errors.
Somehow your 32 bit driver either thinks it is not capable, or is returning errors when it shoudn't be.

Why we are using cluster tables mainly HR

can any plz tell me why we are using cluster tables mainly HR???

Nice question -
Am making my guess based on whatever little I know;
PCLn are file systems and not a traditional (RDBMS) table system. Each File may contain one or more data clusters. SAP Defines data clusters thus -
A data cluster is a grouping of several data objects. Elementary fields, field strings and internal tables can be grouped in a data cluster.
Example:Clusters B1 and B2 in files PCL1 and PCL2 are relevant to time evaluation, as is cluster PS, which stores the generated schema.
The reason why file system of data storage is used instead of DB Table system may be for the purpose of storing voluminous data (Payroll and time) and ease of retrieval during processing (RDBMS may hv tough time in this). Also probably because of SAP's origin from Mainframe.
Why data clusters are used -? Probably data clusters are an offshoot (or part) of File system
Pls feel free to contradict the above. Actually DB experts can throw more light on this..

Need to get rid of iPhone apps I won't use

I don't need all of the apps on my iPhone - but I acn't remove them. I won't use passbook, newsstand, reminders or utilities. Any suggestions?

you cannot remove any native apps that was installed by the ios. Apple community forums have many posts about this. No way to remove them.
Good Luck

Time Machine won't use existing backup folder

Time machine gave me the can't find back up drive error. I did what the support site says, went into the preferences, and reselected the appropriate drive, but now it won't use the existing backup folder. It keeps making a new one called 'user's MacBook Pro 2'. How do I force it to use the old folder, so that I can access my old back-ups?

gilesrulz,
First, you need to determine WHY it's not choosing to continue using the previous backups.
Has your computer changed in some way? Logic board replaced by Apple?
You reinstalled the Mac OS X system software?
*_Time Machine Always Performs a Full Backup After a Full Restore_*
Actually, this is normal. Anytime your hardware has changed, or you have reinstalled the operating system again, Time Machine will perform a new full backup. Consider the following according to the KB article below:
*Full Backup After Restore*
Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338]
So even on unchanged hardware, if you reinstall your system software and restore your user data, Time Machine starts anew, and you will not be able to resume backing up with the same history as the previous backups.
While there may be ways to fool/hack Time Machine into recognizing previous backups without performing another full backup, they are likely rather elaborate.
Ultimately, though, in a couple of months, all the effort to preserve old backups may seem pointless. After all, Time Machine will eventually purge away that data anyways as it replaces it with new files.
It may simply be easier to begin a fresh series of backups while saving the previous backups until your satisfied that you have enough history built up. Then delete the old backups.
Hope this clarifies some things.
Cheers!

Just bought a Macbook Pro. I want a clean install so won't use a Time Machine backup but how can I install the software I bought from Apple Store? can I just delete it from the old machine that is going to someone else?

The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.

I started downloading an update without knowing how big the file was and when I found out how big it was decided I didn't want it because I probably won't use it. how do I stop, not pause, the download and remove the file?

I started downloading an update for iphoto and imovie without realizing how big the file was and I really don't want these updates because I probably won't use them. I've paused the updates but don't know how to cancel them. Please let me know how to do so.

Hide the purchase in your account and there should be nothing more from it.

My 4 can see home wifi but won't use it without restarting

I have wifi at home and at work. Many times when I come home, my 4 will automatically connect to my home wifi, but seemingly won't use it without restarting the phone. I tried going into the network settting and did the reset and went and re-entered the wifi passwords for home and work; and soon after displayed the same bahvior. Work wifi doesn't bother it. My 4 didn't aquire this problem until OS6 and still does it under 6.0.1. Turning off the phone's wifi and back on doesn't help. Renewing lease on wifi doesn't help. My wife has the same phone on the same wifi and the same time and it does'nt do this. She doesn't have wifi at work.
Sometimes I get very sporadic an limited data, could be using 3G. After phone restart the phone is fine until another day when the problem returns. I've tried turning ap's off but nothing helps but a restart.

The first thing you need to do is restart your router. Unplug it, wait 1-2 minutes, plug it back in and wait for it to connect to your provider and download the latest IP informaiton.
Next go into settings and forget your wifi network.
Reconnect to your home wifi.
Go into the settings for your network and set the proxy to Auto not off or manual.
Hopefully this will work for you. I had the same problem when I updated to iOS 6.0.1 and setting the proxy to auto seems to have cleared it up.
Not sure what Apple has done to the firmware and how it interacts with wifi, but hopefully they will have it worked out when iOS 6.1 is released.

Whether I can use cluster w\o multicast support ?

Hi.
I want to use cluster of two server with static IP. But i can't use multicast support on network environment.
Is it possible ?

Hi Alex,
This is supported; just place the following (adjusted appropriately) into your tangosol-coherence-override.xml file (located at the root of the classpath).
<coherence>
<cluster-config>
 <unicast-listener>
 <well-known-addresses>
 <socket-address>
 <address>192.168.0.100</address>
 <port>8088</port>
 </socket-address>
 <socket-address>
 <address>192.168.0.101</address>
 <port>8088</port>
 </socket-address>
 </well-known-addresses>
 </unicast-listener>
</cluster-config>
</coherence>If you'd like to use a different (non-default) port for each JVM, use the Java command-line argument <tt>-Dtangosol.coherence.localport=[port]</tt>. You should also disable auto-adjust of the port by setting <tt>-Dtangosol.coherence.localport.adjust=false</tt>.
