Compressor Problem suddenly -- why?

Am new to Mac and FCP, just cut a 40-something minute documentary, am trying to export a Quicktime h.264 version using compressor, in order to send to my transcriber. I did this before easily at the start of the project, when I compressed 18 hours of interviews, an hour at at time, to H.264 100 kbps, no problem.
Now that I have an edited show, when I try to encode, I get a FAIL message each time saying "QuickTime Error: -50."
I've searched posts here and came across some people talking about a similar problem but have been unable to find any solution that's worked for me (one suggested fixing permissions, rebooting, seeting in/out points, and then trying again, but that hasn't helped).
Any suggestions? Thanks.

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hello,
Just to set your expectations...it's fine to "rant" about things here, but I do hope you are not expecting a formal reply from anyone at BlackBerry. For this site is not a channel for any formal communications with, escalations to, nor support from BlackBerry for any purpose whatsoever. Rather, it is a user-to-user community of volunteers who try to help each other out to the best of their abilities. Note this banner, please, posted at the top of nearly every page of the site:
Consequently, words posted such as "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" are actually directed at the other kind volunteers of this site, who may not respond in the most kindly of fashions. Hopefully, we all can understand that your rant is directed at BlackBerry (though, by placing it here, it is misplaced), but I just wanted to gently caution you about such posts, as well as ensure that your expectation concerning replies is properly set. Also, for new members who join the site, it's always good to have responses to such posts, covering the intended use of the site so that those new members can better understand such things.
On the other hand, if you do desire assistance from other users for your issues, you might consider wording your requests in a manner that would motivate a kind volunteer to provide such.
Good luck!

I have the latest version but I am continually told that Firefox is running but not responding and that I need to close Firefox or restart my computer to clear the problem. Why is this happening?

Jerky Export - FCP or Compressor Problem?

I have a 20-second sequence using the maximum zoom in. The background trees swaying in the breeze are "bumpy" or seem to be dropping frames once exported and burned to DVD. It seems the video in full zoom can't keep up with them. Yet the scene looks fine when played in Final Cut Pro, which does not display any dropped frames or struggling to produce smooth video in this sequence. But once exported to Compression it gets rough in spots and gives the jumpy illusion of dropping frames.
Not sure if it's a FCP or Compressor problem. Any suggestions?

Translation problem on your end or ours?
Burn to DVD? You mean you encoded to MPEF2 for playback on a set top DVD or you burned your QT to a DVD? H-U-G-E difference.
MPEG2 hates that kind of detail and fine motion. Of course it's going to skip and jump unless you very carefully tweak the encoding settings. Very carefully. There are entire books written on how to do that, how to get the best possible compression. The defaults in Compressor just don't do it for you, they are strictly generic but totally applicable to 90% of what you throw at it.

Take it back to the store from which you purchased it and ask. If you bought a new iPad it should not have Demo on the box.

All CBS, Youtube & Xinmsn videos fail to play on Firefox 4.0 all day long. Once 12 am (Singapore Time), ALL videos start to play Perfectly. Even Headline News takes forever to download until midnight, such problem suddenly disappears. WHY?

'''My Fujitsu laptop is one-month old. Initially I use IE8 and had problem watching videos. Once, an Action Message appeared advising me my API Driver is not working and directed me to HP instead. Fujitsu advised me it's a malware and a scan of Malicious Software Removal Tool was executed, nothing was detected. Ive had Norton Internet Security on my laptop. I switched to Firefox 4.0. All videos - CBS, Youtube and Xinmsn videos fail to play during the day, between 1 pm till night (11 pm). The only time every of these videos start playing Perfectly is around Midnight 12 am. (Singapore Time). This happens every day and night. How is it that during the day and night, every site including Headline News takes forever to download (transferring data takes unusually long time) but around midnight, such problem instantly disappears (and I can download sites very fast)? Also, ALL videos malfunction all day long till night but miraculously return to perfect function around midnight. This is real weird. Can some kind soul help me with this please? ''"

i would suggest you backup and reformat the windows.
Previously i also encounter similar error you encountered found out is malware attack, some of the antivirus are not even able to detect them. There are alot of users posted online which you can google around.
i had tried remove the malware using those so-called malware removal but things gets worst. So finally i reformat the Windows and everything go back to normal.
Personal advice, don't click or install those unknown message prompted from website. No antivirus or malware protection software can prevent this if you are letting then to get in your system.
Cheers and hope i did help you in resolving your error.

Podcast download problems - suddenly

I've been happily downloading podcasts through iTunes for some time
Now, suddenly (it seems), it no longer works
I can subscrive to podcasts, I can get an "episode list" of a podcast, but when I try to actually download the podcast episodes, I get an iTunes error message which says
"There was a problem downloading (podcast episode name. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
What on earth is it talking about??
I'd be very grateful for some suggestions to help track down why this is not working when it was only a few weeks ago
Thanks
Phil G

Maybe it's permissions on some parent folders.
When you get a podcast, what itunes does is create a temporary folder named Podcasts in a folder named Downloads. When the DL finishes, itunes does some rearranging by putting podcast in the final Podcast folder and deleting the temporary Podcast folder.
So look at permissions on the Download folder - read/write isn't enough, you need create/delete for that temporary "Podcast" folder, too. Full control over the entire music folder & subfolders should fix it.

I am have problems with firefox 5& 6. It does not display correctly. I have tried the no squint and the internal zoom. Some pages load ok, others like yahoomail, load tiny unless I zoom and then other pages have problems. Why? What else can I be doing?

I am frustrated. With the no squint, which has a mind of its own, then some pages are fine, in others the type is too big or too small for the frames. If I use the default Firefox zoom that is no better. I have to set things for like 130 percent and am constantly having to click on the zoom and change things. I never had that with previous versions? Why can't Firefox just go back to displaying text in the correct frames at a decent size?

I have played with all the options in no squint and the default zoom thing. My email list in yahoo remains tiny tiny, other things do not. If I enlarge that, then other things are too big. I never had this problem with older versions of firefox. I never had used any zoom features, it all sized itself correctly.
To troubleshoot, I tried to open the same things with chrome, and it had much less of a problem sizing the type etc.
I am kind of at my wits end here.

Possible Compressor problem solved....

So, after noticing that qmaster was not listed in the running processes (and getting the dreaded, no cluster found in Compressor) I tried something very simple that seemed to work....I started "Apple Qmaster" under Applications. Behold...compressor works again!!! Try and see if it works on your computer! I believe the problem is, qmaster is not starting correctly when the computers starts up, and compressor can't seem to start it itself (which is dumb Apple, because I don't want qmaster running until I actually need it!)
Matthew

Sorry for not being clear. Remained idle = did not compress. No processor activity. No change of the progress bar in the Batch Monitor and no new file resulting from the expected activity. I did not check if Qmaster was running, will do so next time I submit.
As for the Qmaster files clogging /var/spool/qmaster, I did not use Terminal to remove them. There is an excellent post by scutdog here and I followed his advice. It helped in removing a job that was clogging the pipeline but the next job after it behaved the same way and I think I will give myself some rest now.
