Compressor just plain won't work

People,
I read all the threads about getting a stuck Compressor to work. I tried all the suggestions. Manually removing compressor & qmaster, using the Automation script someone posted, uninstalling FCS with the utility someone else posted. It just plain won't work. Luckily I have an old copy of Cleaner or I'd really be out of luck. This is the weirdest thing. I've never seen a program behave like this. Run but not do anything. Anyone have any new suggestions? Short of wiping my drive I don't know what to do.

The only thing I would add to Gary's suggestion is to go into Safe Mode first then Repair Permissions, Safe Mode forces several things to happen like a directory check, a special fsck mode...
to get into safe mode hold the shift key while restarting until you see the words safe mode (in red)
lastly, have you looked at this:

  • IOS 8 on my iPad 2 just plain doesn't work.

    I'm beginning to suspect that IOS 8 was designed by the marketing dept with one object in mind: to get me to scrap my iPad 2 and buy newrer device. Not since I was a prisoner of Windows Vista have I seen such a poorly designed upgrade. You people aren't stupid, so I can only assume you did it on purpose.

    Apple is not here on this forum. To talk to Apple you need to go to ...
    http://www.apple.com/support/
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    NOW while it is true that various users have had some issues with their iPad and iOS 8 ... there have also been quite a few iPad 2 users reporting that they have no problems. What that means for you is that it is technically feasible for iPad 2 users to operate just fine with iOS 8.0.2.
    In addition to that, there have been numerous iPad 2 users who were initially reporting problems and then found solutions here and everything is working fine for them. But each person's issues can be different from the next user. We have also seen that when one user reports a solution, a certain number have success and others don't. Therefore, those users who don't have succes with the provided solutions that have worked for other users ... will have to keep looking ... or they will need to contact Apple Support.

  • Display on new MBP goes dim and screensaver won't work

    Hi Folks-
    I just got a new MBP and I'm having a couple of problems with the display.
    1.  The display goes to a dim condition when the MPB is idle.  The slider under displays is all the way up and I turned the ambient light setting off.  I get brightness back when Igo into displays and clickon the slider, but that is difficult to navigate on a dark screen and time consuming.
    2.  The screen saver just plain doesn't work.  The computer starts the screen saver and then it jumps back with a flash and strange grid pattern, eventually settling on the screen where it had been.  Then it will flash the grid pattern about every 30 seconds.  It is very irritating to have this flash out of the corner of my eye.
    Any suggestions folks?

    Hi,
    IE 10 should not affect the screensaver.
    I suggest to boot with Clean Boot for test:

    If the issue persists, try to create another administrator account and login to see if the same issue occurs.

  • I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

    If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

  • I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?

    Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...
    How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

    Try this  - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

    Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)

    Does that clear up the compatibility message?

    Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD. Some have it on the Disc #2.
    The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.
