In addition to the other requests for relevant information, has Compressor ever worked faster or is this the first time you've ever opened it? Are you aware that using reference movies often requires re-rendering everything before the encode pass is made. That's one reason for using self-contained.

Compressor 3.5.3 Quickcluster still only uses 20%CPU. What gives?

I'm using Final Cut Studio 7. Compressor 3.5.3. First i couldn't get clusters to work at all. So i uninstalled and reinstalled FCS7 and the Clusters seem to -set up- just fine. But when i submit a batch, Compressor STILL only uses about 20% of the CPU. What Gives? it would do that without a cluster anyway. It bugs me that Final Cut 7 only uses about 20% when rendering footage as well. I've thought about upgrading, but the reviews for fcpX and Compressor 4 have not been great.
Advice:

What codec are you using and how long it the video? Quickcluster is a waste of time if you going to ProRes. If the video duration is short Quickclusters won't kick in with all cores running.
There nothing wrong with Compressor 4... Going to compressor 4 won't solve your problem.

ITunes is ridiculously slow. What gives?

I just bought a new computer, doubled my storage and RAM, Windows 8. Now, iTunes is ridiculously slow. What gives?

I can only add my XPS M1530 to the list of computers having the problem. I have seen posts back to the beginning of the year, so I suspect it is a problem Apple isn't interested in and it is likely a problem with their DirectX or other video routines gone bad.
Maybe they'll consider taking this as a formal bug and getting it fixed, because coverflow ***** as is while it is dreamy on the iPhone.

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.

Lion glitchy and slow. What gives!?

I have seen other posts about this, and it is quite ridiculous.
The Lion upgrade is painful, PAINFUL.
I feel like I am using a computer from 2002, what gives?!
Just a regular Mac user with no wacky applications installed or even used.
Losing the mac: office is understandable, due to no powerpc, but not have a platform that works is sort of an issue.
So slooooooowwwwwww, and with icloud, it all seems archaic.

Have you just installed/upgraded?
If so, Lion performs a slew of maintenance tasks, including clearing all old caches and rebuilding the Spotlight index (which, in itself can take hours, or even days to complete).
You'll probably also find your productivity inhibited for a while as you find the new bells, whistles and knobs.
So give it a little while - at least wait until your spotlight is updated before trying to benchmark performance.

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they therefore respond
So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

Song purchases do not show up in the artist column but they do show up in the song column. What gives?

When you purchase songs, I have several artists that do not appear in the artist column. The songs appear in the song column, but they are not grouped in the artist column. What gives?

Make sure these tracks are not marked as part of a compilation in iTunes from under the Info tab of the Get Info window that can be accessed by right->clicking on a track.

I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

Newest ACR 5.5 Update will not load into Elements 7.0 - what gives?

Hello All:
This situation is now becoming ridiculous (well, for me that is). I just tried to install the new ACR 5.5 update and it is "unable to install" into Elements 7.0. I downloaded the update several times, unzipped the install file, but when trying to install, it just gives me a message that it is unable to install and to hit the "quit" button.
I have a Vista 64 Bit system with 12 Gigs of RAM. I've installed Elements 7.0 and the newest Lightroom 2.5 update on my system - all with no problems. As an aside, for some reason, I could never get Photoshop CS-4 to install at all and I've been through the mill trying to install Photoshop - but nothing worked and had to eventually give up. Trying to get Adobe support for CS-4 installation on my 64 Bit system has been ridiculous in this regard as each and every time I called, I was connected with some techrep located in India who all they did was "parrot" back what I told them - how frustrating. But as I mentioned, Elements 7.0 and Lightroom installed just fine.
The previous ACR 5.4 installed just fine into Elements 7.0, but now...ACR 5.5 will not install. It tells me that I do NOT have CS-4 installed so it cannot install. What's up with that? Has Adobe stopped supporting the latest ACR upgrades for Elements? What gives?
Does anybody just have just the newest ACR 5.5 plug-in by itself that they can send me so I can just put it in my plug-ins folder (or a place where I can download it)? Adobe used to just have the plug-in that you could unzip and copy and paste and put it into your plug-in folders - but not anymore. Now they make it an 82 Meg install program and thus some of my problems.
Can anybody help here? Why does the install program look for CS-4, yet overlook Elements 7.0 completely. Helpppppppppp.
Ben

First off, did you download the right Camera Raw 5.5? If you go to the Camera Raw 5.5 updates page, I think the downloadable there is for Photoshop. There should be a line that has a link to a Photoshop Elements download page.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4582
If you installed ACR before then you know the procedure. Just in case you don't, try this:
Here's what I do for ACR installs:
I navigate to the PSE/Plugins/file formats folder.
I rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw.8bi.old
I download the ACR 5.5
Right-click on the zipped folder and select Extract All...
I right-click on and select copy for the Camera Raw.8bi file
I then right-click in an open area of the File Formats folder and select Paste.
I open PSE6 and drag a couple of NEF's to it. ACR opens and shows the NEFs ready for editing.
That's it. My understanding has always been that installing ACR updates is not your normal 'install' like with other programs. It's a copy/paste of one file.
Hope that works for you....
Regards,

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install
