Compressor 4.0 VERY slow - even though I am using Qmaster, why?
I am using Compressor 4.0.7 and found the threads on QMaster clusters to get it to speed up.
I looked at my activity monitor and now see that its using about 98% of my CPU and all but 2Gb of my available RAM. So in theory I've got it to use best settings.
However, it has not sped up the process much and I'm still looking at 12 hrs to convert a 40 minute file to MP4 (settings below).
Yes, it is converting a 720x480 source to 640x480 square pixel destination, but it should no way take this long.
Is it because "frame controls" are on? Should I upgrade to 4.1 to see if that works better?

Thanks Russ,
Here are those details:

4.1 is WAy different to 4.0, would the customs settings all port OK? And do you have to pay for a 4.1 upgrade or not?
My CPU is maxed out but still, its slow.

I have recently updated to ios6. But safari browser is very slow ,even twitter, Facebook also facing the same problem also cannot accsess to some websites too.
Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
For Safari ..... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -
I am using ipod touch 4g 8 gb, with ios6 software. It is getting very very slow even after i reinstalled the software. Apps like temple run 2 and subway surfers are getting stuck and it is very very slow.My ipod has 2.6 gb free space. What is the problem. I am not getting to know. Even after i reinstalled these apps it is still getting stuck and it is very very slow. Is this what i get after paying so much money for ipod. Is this what i get very poor perfomance.
Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

Software on another machine it is very quick and not slow. What is the problem.

[email protected]It may be due to low number of implicit cursors which the system opens during run time.
You can try opening the file 'initorcl.ora' in notepad and add a line at the end of the file, if not there,
OPEN_CURSORS = 900
and save it.
restart the system, check your report.
It is just by experience, try out your luck.

I have an iMac, running x10.5. My email is very slow, even opening a previously downloaded message. The computer is otherwise fast. What gives?
Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
Scroll to Mail folder.
Select the V2 > MailData folder.
Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
When you open Mail it will re-index your files.
If you have IMAP accounts, you might want to delete the accounts then add back so they download all messages from the server again. -
I have an Ipad1 and an Ipad2. The Ipad1 cannot connect to my wifi and indicates the password is incorrect even though I am using the same password for the Ipad2??
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

MacBook Pro i5 with retina will not recognize WD Passport even though I successfully used it to transfer programs and files from my older MacBook ten days ago. It receives power from the USB, but when using Time Machine I receive the message that there is not an external device connected.
If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues. -
even though i have used my camera, when i click at the bottom left to view my captured images the app closes. when i go to "photo's" the app either fails to open or says i have no photos. what am i doing wrong? i have owed an iphone for 3 years and this has never happened.
Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files. -

why does my iphone 4s gets really hot even though im not using it, battery drain's 2% every 5 minutes.. and its just in my pocket,. what will i do?
some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.

TS3274 My iPad gets very hot even with short term use. Is this normal?
My iPad gets very hot even with short term use. Is this normal?
I assume that you mean your new iPad - the 3rd generation model. No - that is not normal. Some users have reported this issue and it may be that you have a faulty device.
It may get a little warmer than the previous models of iPads but it should not get "very hot" under any circumstances. Return it - take it to an Apple Store and let a Genius have a look - contact Apple however you need to do so - and let them know about it - but that is NOT normal. -
Mid-2010 27" iMac very slow, even after clean OS install - HELP!
Good afternoon guys, I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice.
I bought my Mid-2010 27" iMac in May-ish 2011. Everything was brilliant, I couldn't believe the ease of use, and especially the start up speed, coming from a world of PCs. My iMac was used almost every day, for web browsing, photo editing, etc.
Maybe about April / May this year it started becoming very slow, slow to boot, slow to respond to mouse clicks, slow to do anything. Since I'd used about 750GB of my HDD (mainly photos), I decided I would archive some and hope that would ease the congestion. As my photos were stored in Aperture, it took about 3 days to export them all to my external HDD, 3 days of the iMac only getting so far, switching itself off, then me finally getting it to come back on (I was getting messages about Kernals, etc. now and again through boot too) - it finally backed up my photos I have from my daughters first year.
Great news, but I still had probably 400GB / 500GB of photos from her second year and any other photos I'd taken. I found the root of my Aperture directory, and managed to pull these images off, so everything is now backed up.
I decided I should try and clean install, and managed to get the HDD to boot and choose the option to re-install from Apple's Servers. All installed OK, and we're good to go! Fired up the iMac, and although it's fractionally quicker to respond, and a lot more stable, it's not quite right. And I've lost all my iLife Apps which originally came with the iMac.
Does this sound like a HDD issue? As I say, it was on quite a lot through the backup procedure, and I had set it (maybe stupidly looking back now) to never sleep, and for the monitor to only switch off after 3 hours. Or does it sound like something more is wrong with it?
I am quite confident of working with PCs, so would manage to replace the HDD I think, looking at some videos, etc. online. I did upgrade the RAM to 16GB, and that was simple enough. My question is, when you replace the HDD, how does it know where to look to the Apple Servers for the clean OS install? Or do I have to do something to let it know where to look first? I have to point out I don't have any Time Machine backup, etc. as the iMac was just not stable enough to get this in place - and up until that point, again probably stupid now looking back, I had never bothered to set up.
Any help / advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I have totally fallen out of love with the iMac, for something to cost £1,500+ and only last 3 years, where my last build PC lasted Approx 8 years for half the price, is very disappointing.
Thanks in advance,
ColJust suggesting things right off the bat here-
To me it sounds as though the HDD is failing, if your iMac shipped with a Seagate drive try entering your serial number to see if Apple will replace it:http://www.apple.com/au/support/imac-harddrive/
Or try running Apple Hardware Test a few times back to see if it is a hardware error.
As for the iLife apps they should've come on one of the install discs that shipped with your mac.
If your iMac is ineligible for the program above I would consider replacing it yourself with either an SSD or HDD, as for recognising apples servers for download, you will need the original install discs that came with your computer or if you haven't already it will need a firmware update to enable internet recovery
See here:Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery
Good Luck! -
Internet connection slower even though TC is not part of wireless network!
How can this be? I connected TC to my iMac by ethernet cable to do the initial backup of my hard drive. The backup has been complete now for a number of days. What really mystifies me is the slower connection speed (I have cable) even when TC is NOT backing up, i.e., even between the hourly backups when TC isn't running.
I notice the slower speeds mostly via Safari. There is now a noticeable lag time between when I click on a URL and when the page loads. It's intermittent, but sometimes, it's so bad,mI havevto stop the loading of the page and try reloading the page. Usually, this pushes it through.
I never had this problem prior to connecting TC to my iMac.
I also have the most current firmware installed for TC, Airport Utility, etc.
Can anyone explain this phenomenon? I was planning to set up a dual network with TC and now I'm not so enthusiastic.
PS Have been reading through the threads here and came across one that reported a problem with TC and their 2.4 GHz phone? Could this be part of my problem? Even though TC isn't connected to my wireless network?
An additional question: isn't TC a 5 GHz device? Why would a 2.4 GHz device interfere with the 5 GHz TC?
Message was edited by: WildBillThe default radio mode for the TC is 802.11 n operating in the 2.4 GHz mode, but if one has a 5 GHz iMac, one would b able to choose the 5v GHz option?
You would choose the radio mode, using the AirPort Utility, to change to the appropriate 5 GHz radio band to meet your wireless network requirements. If your iMac is "n" enabled, it should be able to both discover the TC's 5 GHz network, but also connect to it.
Also, regarding a previous post on this thread, have you personally used the OpenDNS's DNS servers? Did it make a significant difference? How were the ads?
Yes, I am currently using this service with several of my computers, both Macs and PCs. In most cases I get better performance (as far as locating and accessing web pages) and better stability than when using my ISP's DNS servers. You may find a similar experience. As far as ads, the only "ads" I get is when I either type in an incorrect URL or the site does not exist. You would then get a default message page with a OpenDNS banner. -
NB205 - Weird CPU usage, very slow even after system reinstall.
Hello dear Forum,
I have a problem with my Toshiba NB205, the CPU usage while moving; dragging for ex. an explorer window, jumps to almost 30% and it lags pretty much (which I guess is not pretty normal) also while watching a YouTube video (360p) on full screen the frame rate is not higher than 5.
I have a fresh Windows 7 Starter system installed on it, I moved from Windows XP because of the Weelsof virus that attacked the computer, but even before the attack it was very slow, it took very long to open a folder window.
I formatted the all the partitions (including System Reserved) except the "HDD-Recovery".
I am not owner, nor the main user of this laptop, so I don't when it became so slow, but as far as I remember it worked perfect at the beginning without any bigger problems.
Thank You for Your helpWhich NB205? See the label on the bottom.
