Compressor 4.1.3 will not share computers

I have a batch file setup in compressor 4.1.3, and I have enabled sharing of another computer on my network, but I can't select it. It allowed me to create a group with both computers, but in the drop down Process on: it has my group grayed out? Why would it gray this out?
Here is a picture of my compressor screen, Home is the group that I created.

Sorted it out on my end....due to a lapse in concentration on my part, I was sending straight from FCPX to Compressor for h264 file generation. This is not supported.
BY going first to Master File, which generates an uncompressed mov file, which is automatically then loaded into Compressor, sharing is working fine. Wether or not true, Apple support did mention that FCPX-> Compressor via h264 sharing has never been supported across multiple machines. Didn't want to role back my OSs' to test that.
The massive benefit of going to Master File first I cannot overstate. I'm pumping out finished h264 videos in a fraction of the time I use to when I shared straight out to an m4v file. I'm talking a factor of 10 speed increase In my workflow.
wish someone had told me that when I started out.

Compressor 1.2.1 will not start

I have FCP HD 4.5 Studio. I have created several projects using almost all the modules (except Cinema Tools) and everything has worked fine...until yesterday. Compressor 1.2.1 will not start and I don't know how else to get my finished video from FCP to DVD SP. I tried to export it as a standalone QT movie and let DVD SP do the work, but it says the bitrate is too high.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,
Lloyd Lathrop

I downloaded the update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/compressorupdate.html (there are 2 updates that can be downloaded...just select the one you're using). I just ran the updater and it seemed to fix everything.
Hope this helps.

IMovie 6 will not Share/Export

I have successfully imported clips from my Sony HD camera. BUT iMovie 6 will NOT export nor share. Tried all possible options (even select clips only, reduced clip size down to 6 seconds). No luck. Any ideas what to do next? My computer is a new G5 Powermac desktop with 2 GB RAM. iLife 5 worked fine

If you open preferences, and select Play Movie Through Camera, you can export withut using Share. I have succeeded to export iMovie HD 6 projects this way. Before doing so, restart your computer, to give iMovie a clean start. I can playback my project through a Canopus converter this way without using Share.
I hope this helps. If iMovie HD 6 ever crashes, simply Restart your computer and try again.
Good luck and best wishes,

Ethernet wired desktop will not share with Apple TV. Has anyone had this problem

I have an Apple TV. It connected with my network with no problem. Both my laptops and iPhones will share with no problem, however my desktop that is hard wired in will not show up on the Apple TV. Can someone help please. Apple support can't figure it out and Netgear wants to charge me for support.

I suspect the router creates seperate networks for the wired and wireless networks.
Check the router settings to confirm this.
The other thing that could be occurring is security software on the desktop blocking the connection, specifically firewall software. Try disabling the software to see if the issue goes away. If it does, then contact the company that supports that software to modify the settings to allow communication with the software turned on.

Pages document will not share via email

After completing a document in Pages and then want to email it, I click Share via email and then Word. Nothing happens. Not even an error message.
Any ideas about why?

When you attempt to send an IOS Pages v1.7+ (older Pages ’09 format) document via gmail, it arrives with the file extension .pages, and if Pages v5 is installed, the attached document acquires the new icon style.
Within Apple Mail, you can hover over the horizontal line and with selection of the paperclip icon, you can open the .pages attachment with Quick Look. Again, if you have Pages v5 installed, the Open with Pages button in Quick Look will use that as a default version with the following cautionary dialog. If you press and hold on that Quick Look Open button, it will appear as the Finder's open with menu and you can choose to open in Pages v4.3.
When you originate the .pages document from IOS Pages v2+ (new format compatible with Pages v5 on OS X), and choose to send it via Gmail (or iCloud), it will arrive as filename.pages.zip. This is a compressed file format that Pages v5 cannot access without first uncompressing it.
If you revisit the original second paragraph above, Quick Look will show you a large compressed icon dialog. However, there is an uncompress button in the upper right that will open a new Finder window with the original .pages and .zip files within it. You can then select the .pages document and click Open with Pages. By default, this document will open in Pages v5 if installed, or fail in Pages v4.3 with the following warning dialog because of a document format mismatch. Anything Pages v5 opens is poisoned for subsequent Pages ’09 v4.3 access, unless first exported as Pages ’09 from within Pages v5.
And intuitively, it is pointless to send a .pages document via email to anyone without the proper version of Pages installed.

IPhoto 7 Will Not Share File on Airport Extreme USB Drive

I have a USB drive plugged in to my Airport Extreme (n). I keep both my iPhoto 7.0.1 Library and my iTunes 7.3.2 Library on that drive. I am able to share the iTunes Library just fine from two machines. But if I open the iPhoto Library on one machine it works fine - but when I try to open iPhoto from the other machine I get a 'locked file/locked disk/inadequate permissions' alert. Have repaired permissions from iPhoto boot window - and the disk/file is not locked. I used to be able to share the iPhoto Library on this disk prior to iPhoto 7. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to cure this?
Thanks, Tuck

Sure, I'll explain. Actually this is how network shared drives are supposed to work from what Apple's promotional material says. I have both my iTunes Library and my iPhoto Library on a USB drive connected to my Airport Extreme so that both my wife and I can share the music and the pictures. We will often listen to different things at the same time on iTunes - which will make sense to you as that activity is really only a read. But I can add and delete music at the same time that she listens. With iPhoto we both can look at different pictures at the same time - I suppose just like iWeb can import photos at the same time I am running a slideshow in iPhoto. My problem is that this ability broke during my upgrade to iPhoto 7.0.1 - although it is possible this happened during 10.4.10 and I didn't notice, but I don't think so. As I have mentioned above I now find that I can create a NEW iPhoto Library and be able to share it on both machines again. So - my current question is: can I copy the contents of my old iPhoto Library into a newly created library and retain all the edits, events, titles, rankings, etc? And if so, is there any trick to it.

Networked mac will not share internet connection

When I connect my G4Imac to a Imacdv I can establish file sharing etc but the Imacdv is not able to connect to the internet via the G4Imac. Is this not possible or am I missing something? They are connected by ethernet ports but my broadband is by adsl speedtouch modem.
OSX3.9 on both machines

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Go to  Apple Menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet tab.
Now check the
"Share your connection from: Speedtouch Modem
To computers using:
Built-in Ethernet.".
Then click the "Start" button.
I used to do this but to my Powerbook using Airport. I assume that the Speedtouch connects via USB and has it's own driver installed?
kind regards

WSUS - Parent server will not purge computers from the unassigned group after being moved on the downstream servers.

I need some help please. I have read every forum I can think of and google for months and can not find a solution.
I have 1 Primary WSUS Server and 3 Replica servers. Often times systems are placed into the unassigned group on the replica servers and then after a syncronization they will show up on the primary server in the unassigned group.
The problem is that when I log into a replica server and move these computers to another group, they never get moved on the primary server. They will constantly remain on the primary server in the unassigned group. I know this is probably something simple that I have overlooked in the documentation, but believe me I have tried everything that I can come up with. Please help! :)

> So when you move them into the appropriate group... this is not remembered on the server.
It is... but only until the *client* (which believe that it is authoritative for its group memberships -- as a result of the policy configuation) tells the server otherwise. Then the server has the group membership as reported by the client machine.
> I thought that when the client went to contact the server again and said I'm in this group (which happens to not exist on the server)
If the *group* does not exist on the server, the client will be seen only in "All Computers". The group name reported by the client is still stored in the database as an attribute of the client, but because the console is not configured to display that group, the client computer does not appear in any group except "All Computers".
> the server would then say, yes you are; however the admin has told me that you really belong to this other group.
No, the server never assumes it is authoritative for anything coming from the client. The WUAgent is the authoritative source for everything in the WSUS environment (except Update Approvals <g>). If the WUAgent is not configured to use "policy-based groups", then the WUAgent will query the WSUS Server to determine which group(s) the client belongs to, and if the server is configured in Options | Computers to "Use the console... to assign groups", then it will answer with the currently stored group name(s). However, if the WUAgent is given that information via policy, then it doesn't ask for anything, it *tells* the server what the facts are, and those facts are used to update the WSUS database.
> On the downstream server they remain in the appropriate groups after I move them.
> Its only on the upstream server that I have this problem.
There are several configuration parameters that could be contributing to this. We should start by verifying the correct settings for all of them.
1. Options | Computers on the replica server is set to "Use group policy".
2. Options | Computers on the upstream server is set to "Use group policy".
3. The policy configured group exists on the upstream server.
4. The policy configured group has replicated to the replica server.
5. The policy has been properly applied to the client system.
6. The client appears in the correct group(s) on the replica server, according to the group(s) configured in the policy.
7. The replica server has synchronized successfully with the upstream server since the client system last *reported* to the replica.
8. The upstream server has "Reporting Rollup" enabled.
9. Sufficient time has passed to allow the upstream server to complete the asynchronous updating of the reporting data from the replica server.
If all of the above is correct, and the client system still appears in "Unassigned Computers" on the upstream server, then we'll have something that needs further investigation. Most likely, though, is that one of those items enumerated is not copasetic and is interfering with the correct recording of the client system's correct group membership. Once corrected, the upstream server will properly reflect the actual group memberhips as configured in policy.

Will not share Imovie with Idvd. Gets so far and then a box saying Unable to prepare project for publishing because an error occured (-41)

Cannot SHARE project from IMovie to Idvd. Gets so far and then a box with a message saying Unable to prepare project for publishing because an error occured (-41).

Bengt is as always entirely correct, but another meaning of error -41 is that you have chosen the wrong encoding setting for the length of video you have:
iDVD encoding settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t. The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

My final cut 10.0.5 will not share.

Hello Everybody, After I upgraded to AOS 10.8.1 my Final Cut Pro 10.0.5 will no longer share. What can I do?

Be certain you have the Project Timeline selected before you go to 'Share'.
If this doesn't work, use Finder to move the FCP X app to the Trash and reinstall it from the App Store.
(Make sure no backups like Time Machine are on mounted drives at the time).
If this doesn't fix it, reinstall Mountain Lion.

HT202213 my nano and my computer will not share music

I can't get my nano and my computer to share music. The computer tells me they are synched but none of my new music is transferring to the nano. Does anyone have an answer?

Hi sharhop,
If your iPod nano appears to not be syncing with your computer, I recommend checking out this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
If you are syncing manually, try automatically, or if you are syncing automatically, try manually to see if you get different results.
Cheers,
