Compressor is taking 3 days to compress a 1/2 hr show

compressor is taking 3 days to compress a 1/2 hr show is this right ? and is there away to speed it up
compressing to 1080 X 720

Hi guys, thanks for thinking about my problem I'm just going to stop compressor I don't know what's going on but this is not exceptible i cant work like this. I thought FCPX and compressor 4.0.6 could handle the job i might have to call Pro support on this one. or get another encoding program. any more ideas? do you need more info all the programs are new the IMAC is new and has alot of Ram and encode's small shows fast but this 1/2 hr show is killing me. Thanks again

When selecting my home folder on the iMac and using "Get Info" to see how much space has been used it shows around the 256g mark, but the space used up on my external hard drive is right up to 327g.
Is this normal after the first back up?
Hi sijam11,
That appears about right...
It is recommended that the Time Machine Drive be at least Twice the size of the Drive it is Backing Up...

Why is my IPad taking 3 days to charge?

Why is my IPad taking 3 days to charge.

How are you charging it? If you are using the outlet adapter and the cable provided with the device, it should only take an hour or two to fully charge.
If, however, you are using a non-Mac PC (or a much older Mac) and attempting to charge using the USB port on your computer, then that might be a problem.
A standard USB port on a PC has a max power output of 2.5W (5V @ 500mA). A USB port on a late-model Mac has a max power output of 5.5W (5V @ 1100mA). In practice, some PCs don't always put out a full 2.5W (particularly if there are other devices on the bus draining power).
If you plug an iPad into a standard PC USB port, the iPad will trickle-charge while the iPad is turned off. It's slow, but it will eventually charge. If you plug it into a Mac, the iPad will negotiate a 5W connection (the Mac can only support high-power mode on a a certain number of ports concurrently), and the iPad will charge, but slower than using the wall charger.
If this is the issue, the solution is simply to use the wall charger and don't attempt to use your computer to charge the iPad.

Yosemite download taking "5 days"

Yosemite download taking "5 days" even after re-start, pausing download, and good wifi connection re-start, pausing download, and good wifi connection??? I have a MacBook Pro and am currently running Mavericks. I am in college and I don't have time to wait on the download. I have a paper due in the morning I am trying to work on. I am not very good with computers...so I have tried all I know to do.

Check to see what's in your /Applications folder, the installer might still be there, it's called 'Install OS X Yosemite', if it is you could copy it to another device or drag it elsewhere while holding the 'option' key down to make a duplicate on your current drive. If you have that you wouldn't have to download it all over again (Apple decided to delete it once it thought you were done, which is annoying). If you still have the installer you only have to run it like any other program.
Maybe try:
https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=915041082&mt= 12
That page should direct you to the App store and let you begin the process all over, hopefully, if you close your local App store before going there it just might go directly to the Yosemite installer, again.
Other than that... I had a somewhat different problem. Do the incompatible apps specifically mention Yosemite? The three apps that needed to upgraded were all upgrades for 10.9.5 and I shouldn't have selected those since they'd be obsolete in a few minutes anyway.
Good luck, maybe post your results for the next victim

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

My ipad is taking restart automatically and screen is fully balck and showing only apple logo.please give me solution for that

my ipad is taking restart automatically and screen is fully balck and showing only apple logo.please give me solution for that

Have you tried a reset first? If it works, you won't have to go through the restore process.
Hold down the sleep (upper right hand top) and the home button at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding down the buttons. The Apple logo shoud appear. Then your ipad might work again. It takes a good 15 seconds. You will not lose anything on your ipad.
If you try it a couple of times and it doesn't work, you might have to go through the restore process as has been suggested above. But follow the steps so you don't lose your data.
Hope this helps.

HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Sorry for being unclear.
When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list). I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account). I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro. When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite. FCP was working fine until the upgrade. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

Compressor 3 taking far too long to compress H.264

Origianally posted this here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7328851&#7328851
But thought I would start a new topic.
Something is very wrong. I sent a 9 minute MPEG-2 file to Compressor to have compressed to H.264. (H.264 compression is what I would gather many of us are using Comp for in the first place).
I know Compressor can do H.264 comp at about 1.43:1 from tests. So a 9 minute clip should take, 6 minutes or so, and with Q Master it should be even faster. Well, Comp reports 8-9 hours. What the heck is going on.
I have taken MPEG Stream Clip and done the same H.264 output and it takes about 6-7 minutes. Something is up with Comp 3.
Now I have turned off Q Master, Reset the Comp 3 BG Processing, Quit Comp and relaunch, maybe reboot, possibly trash all prefs related to Comp.
And still 8-9 hours?
A 9 minute clip should take 6 minutes and as I say, with Q Master, even faster, that is the point of Q Q Master services

Took me awhile to get Compressor going reliably but now it has been pretty solid.
I am not sure what settings you are using to encode (for instance Frame Controls can add alot of time), but 8-9 hours for 9 Minutes seems rather extreme. Note though that you are using an MPEG-2 (m2v?) file. You may be better off converting to another Codec or better yet go to the source material you are double encoding.
I just set up a Compressor setting on an Octo 2.8 with everything pushed to the Max on Frame Controls and set to resize a 6 Minute HD AIC stream down to H.264 @25% of the size of the original and sent out to "This Computer" and not the Cluster and it took 17 minutes or so. Even with converting from m2v it does seem like it is taking way too long on the machine for you.
I saw you had done some troubleshooting, but do you have any other details? Was his a clean install of the OS and Studio, or were there upgrades along the way? That caused some issues in the past - meaning between upgrades to Leopard and/or installing Studio 2 over Studio 1.

Dunning interest calculation - taking 360 days instead of 365 days

Dear Friends,
I have done the dunning customization and forms are generating properly including the days in arrears. But for the dunning interest calculation, it is taking only 360 days instead of 365 days. Because of this, there is a difference in interest amount in dunning (F150 tcode) and interest calculation (FINT tcode).
Please guide me how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Dwarak.

hi
check the below configuration.

Why is it taking 8+ Days to write a Blu-ray folder, only to fail at the end?

I'm trying to write a blu-ray dvd and author it through Encore. I've done this in the past with no issues at all, but in the case of this particular project, it's been a complete nightmare from hell.
It took 8 DAYS... that's right... DAYS to transcode a 7 minute, 1hr 4min, and 30min file to a Blu-ray folder. And at the end of it all, I get a message that there has been a failure with Encore and cannot write the folder. I try to make sure that there is enough space on the disc, and I give the disc an extra 1.2g of space to work with.
I have never had this issue in the past until now, and I don't understand if this is a software issue or a computer issue. I tried using my old 2007 MacBook Pro to transcode and write the folder before I tried wasting time on a disc (made that mistake the first time). I don't know what to do, and there is no one that can give me definative answers. I need help if I'm going to be productive. Please...

I had used a Dynamic Link between my files and Encore. I've done it in the past without any issues. Adobe tech support actually told me that the "/" was the issue when building the disc, since my file read... "highlights/highlights.prpro ... I changed the name and no help.
~What did Encore show for your assets once imported to Encore? "Do not transcode" or what?
All the files didn't show anything in the properties for transcoded... either for DVD or Blu-ray. I actually took the time to edit the settings of each file to maximize its target bitrate while maintaining enough space on the disc. I believe I also changed the settings to MPEG-2 settings rather than my go-to H.264 setting. I think that might be an issue too.
I DID notice too that when I finally decided to build the disc, there was odd threads showing in the status bar. Stuff I've never seen like " cpt.csf.9/render/..." when the build was taking place.
I'm eager to simple leave everything alone and let Encore do everything by default just to see if that works.

(Secure) empty trash is taking a day and a half

i ran a secure trash empty operation on my 250 GB mid 2009 MBP and this has been going for a day and a half with 34,000 items to delete at this point.
is this normal? did i do something dumb like put it to sleep in the middle of this and then reopen it or is this the way secure empty is supposed to work/
TIA

thanks mende.
i don't know but i am very good at taking out bricks and mortar trash but not so good at taking out virtual trash...
i guess the deal is that this operation is like doing a "writing zero's" level of formatting when formatting a hard disk, which can take quite awhile?
thank you.

Why are my emails taking several days to reach their target?

I have recently been awaiting replies to emails, only to find - several days later - that my emails are taking a few days to be recieved. This is not a device specific problem - as it is consistently happening across a multitude of devices. It appears to be a problem with either my account, or with the apple mail servers in general.
I'm about to start making the transition away from my icloud mail as a result - perhaps to gmail. I'd rather not. Help.
Please

That's a new one on me. Haven't come across posts with this same issue. Is there anything unusual about your "situation"? Do you live on Fiji? Do you see the cable company trucks in your neighborhood? Are the Canada Geese filling your skies?
Just out of curiosity, if you send yourself an email, how long does it take to reach you? (Seriously)
