Compressor Stuck @ 99% for the 4th time...

I successfully got project 1 of 2 out yesterday, workflow went like this:
(From FCP) "Send to: Compressor" Select destination/compression settings. Submit batch (3 different timelines to be encoded." In this instance, Compressor successfully completed all but one of the three videos to be compressed, the first time. I had to resubmit the smallest clip of the three, a second time. Compressor than completed the job.
Next project (2 of 2)
Submitted two timelines to be encoded, via FCP>File>Send to>Compressor. First video encoded, second video got to 98% after 12 hours. Cancel encode, resubmit. Additional attempt....got to 99% after 3 hours. For third attempt, I first exported the clip as a "self-contained" quicktime file. Took that file into compressor, same result: 99% @ 3 hours.
It seems that my only experiences with Compressor have been this way. Crazy long encode times, and can't depend on it to finish any job I leave for it overnight.
For my 4th attempt, I will dump Compressor's history and restart.
Just finished my 4th attempt. Same failure...
Also, here is a sample of the log:
<mrk tms="314175845.019" tmt="12/15/2010 23:04:05.019" pid="393" what="service-request" req-id="8F0A772D-93FB-4BA7-BFEA-3D3B9A6439DC:1" msg="Error: unrecognized request."></mrk>
Here are the stats:
Macbook Pro 2.2 intel core 2 Duo,
4GB RAM,
OSX 10.5.8
500GB Drive w/140GB available.
Graid 2TB Drive w/1.35TB available, all media held here.
FCP 6.0.6
Compressor 3.0.5

The format of my source clips is an ugly blend, as I used 3 different cameras to capture the footage. It was a wedding, shot with 2 panasonic cameras outputting DVCPRO HD 720p60 960x720, and one canon 7D doing close-ups and pickup shots, outputting apple prores 422 at 1080x1920. However, I transcoded all of the prores clips ahead of time, into the same codec and dimensions as the others.
Sequence Settings are DVCPRO HD 720p60, with a 23.98 editing timebase
I'm compressing into MPEG-2 for DVD playback.
I am trying compressor repair right now.
I will un-instal/reinstall if this doesn't work.
I was curious how the multiple codecs might alter the output, but had successfully completed 3 other timelines with similar/identical content (relative to the codecs).

ITunes fails for the 4th time

As the title says this is the 4th time iTunes has Crashed for me since 2009. I am at my limit with it and NO I am NOT going to BABY it. It's a program that should be as dependable as it is advertised.
My iTunes .itl library file is constantly becoming damaged without just cause. The -50 warning keeps popping up for NO reason prior to this and through ALL of the Upgrades iTunes has Failed to fix it's issues. I do not use the album art option, I do not use Genius, I don't use any of iTunes flashy bells and whistles. I use the library list and play-list option.
I have over 2k of sorted music and songs and I'm sick and tired of reinstalling them. That's over 30 days worth of music over 12k of songs and over 100 sorted play lists with more than 5+ hours of reinstalling and sorting.
I have a back up drive running. EVERYTHING I do is backed up to it and When Itunes file breaks Guess what? So does the back up. The Good copy is now upgraded to the Damaged one.
I have had nothing but disappointing FAILURES since iTunes upgraded and the icon went from Green to Blue. Whether or not that has anything to do with it I don't know. But there is absolutely No reason for me to be this dissatisfied with a product. Especially for the 4th time "this year".

To HOST. I do not know who you are. Regardless I will NOT have you editing my post to "make it pretty". I have a problem. I am a dissatisfied customer. I WILL Get results. I will CALL APPLE if I have to, but I spoke of NO foul language in my prior post. Should I find my words EDITED Again WITHOUT my permission I will go to higher ground.
This is my original Post. DO NOT Edit it. You send a Superior to get in contact with me if YOU have a problem with it.

I WILL NOT have someone come into this thread and tell me I should make a back up file of my itunes library for "just in case" and to just copy paste the good one back in. NO. I have a back up drive running. EVERYTHING I do is backed up to it and When Itunes file breaks Guess what? So does the back up. The Good copy is now upgraded to the Damaged one.
This is a SUPPORT Board Someone better take care of my issue by either requesting my Damaged .itl file and FIXING IT, Or PAY ME to keep my service with Apple.

500GB Hard drive failure - for the 4th time

Ok, So i bought a macbook pro from Apple in about may 2010. It is a 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRM SuperDrive 8X DL.
Since then the hard drive has failed 3 times and now it has failed for the 4th time this morning.
I've complained to Apple and other than being made to feel like I'm the one causing a nuisance - Apple have told me repeatedly that my experience is unique and there are no known issues with their 500GB drive.
Has anyone else experienced drive failures?
Jason
I'd be interested in hearing from you: [email protected]

This sounds to me more like the problem may be with the interface between the motherboard and the HD.
I'd be strongly inclined to insist on a replacement MBP as you're still in warranty.
At the very least, get the complaint escalated beyond the shoploor level.

I had to get another phone from the Apple store...now the wi-fi will not connect..What do I need to do short of going back to the Apple Store again for the 4th time?

I am having trouble getting my wi-fi to connect...this is the second phone I have gotten...any solutions before I have to make my fourth trip tp Apple?

Is this the same problem you have been experiencing?

Plugging Ipod nano(4th gen) in for the first time... Help

I have the ipod nano 4th gen. I plugged it into the computer for the first time, and itunes comes up. It then says you can register now or later I just clicked later(I am actually doing this for my sister, I have and ipod touch that I did the same with) But anyways, I clicked register later, and then it tells me that I have to Read and agree to the software(or something on that order) So I read through all of that and at the end, there is a box you can check to say that you have read and agreed. I did that, but then you have to click a button to confirm/continue im guessing. Well, my problem is, that my computer screen is too small for me to see the button, in other words, I cant confirm/continue and am stuck there, I cant do anything else with the ipod with out continuing this step. I have tried to Maxamize the screen and dragging over. nothing seems to work.
Is there any other day to agree and confirm to this? If there isn't, is there a way that I can get to the confirm/continue button?

I changed my screen resolution to 1024 x 768,
yet I still cannot see the confirm/continue option.
I have tried all screen resolutions,
and I'm not able to see the button.
Am I doing something wrong?
I really need to know,
because I need to use my iPod.

If you want to use it, click Review and check your account information. Or you could contact the store support staff if you are concerned at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html for further help.

I am backing up to my time capsule for the first time. It has been stuck on 348mb of 20.1 gb for days. Is this normal or is the machine not functioning correctly?

That seems to be OK via WLAN!
It ist better to do the first backup via LAN-cable.

Opening Compressor for the 1st time.

I'm pretty new to Compressor and I'm opening it for the first time to create an export but it doesn't open an untitled new batch...or indeed anything. I'm trying to figure out if it's anything stupid on my part before I re-install. Thanks

Yes, not quite that green. Nothing happens when I do that. Kind of frustrating. The App seems dead.

Setting up the I Pad for the first time I am stuck on the wi fi page it can see the network my pc cant see the i pad

Since you have a modem/router, you must continue to use the Beetel modem/router on your network.
The Time Capsule can connect to the Beetel modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection and produce a separate wireless network. You would NOT want the Beetel router and Time Capsule to both try to produce the same wireless network if they are located close together, since this will likely create interference problems that may prevent devices from connecting to either the Beetel orTime Capsule wireless network.
The exception to having the Beetel modem/router and Time Capsule produce the same wireless network would be if you can locate the Time Capsule at least a room or two away from the Beetel modem/router. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet or about 100 meters with no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere you want.
Are you able to consider this option?
Another option.....if you cannot locate the Time Capsule in another room......would be to configure the Time Capsule to use the same wireless network name and password as the Beetel network and turn off the wireless on Bettel modem/router.
Important.....there is no guarantee that the printer will be able to connect to the Time Capsule wireless network, so you should expect to start over and set up the printer again.
Yet another option would be to turn off the wireless service on the Time Capsule and use the Beetel wireless to back up your computers to the Time Capsule, which will act as a wired hard drive for the network. If you select this option, the Time Capsule can be located close to the Beetel modem/router.

2009 MBP can't see internal hard drive - for the second time!

Well, my 2009 13" MBP is at Applecare for the second time because it cannot recognize _any_ internal hard drive.
The first repair came at 9 months (purchased new), now 16 months later I have the same issue.
Swap in a known good drive, it can't see it, boot from DVD, and run Disk Utility, it can't see it either (optical drive shows up fine)
My first repair only said they replaced the original hard drive, has anyone else had the issue of losing access to your internal hard drive?
Ugh, I will be out of the 3 year Applecare next summer, and don't want to get stuck with another iBook G3, if you know what I mean.
Thanks for any feedback!

Hi
I have the same issue, I have a Vodafone branded Huawei HG556a with an external drive connected. I have found that it isn't possible to connect via Finder and that SMB doesn't work either. The only way I could connect to it was via FTP using Cyberduck (or Filezilla), but no use as I can't add my media files from the drive to iTunes, so unfortunately disappointing. I'm still looking, but here's the document I was referred too from another forum.
broadband.vodafone.ie/download/files/storage_mac.pdf
Although not an answer to your question, hopefully this will give you an idea why you are getting the password and username errors when you know they are correct. In the end when I entered the FTP details into Cyberduck I was able to connect.
I know this doesn't help solve the problem (as I'm still looking too), but at leas you know why (ish).
Cheers

Using time machine for the first time in a while

Hi all,
I just tried backing up my laptop for the first time in ages with time machine. However , it seems to get stuck on "preparing the back up" and never actually starts the backup.
The external drive I'm using has been used before for backups,and the icon is the bluey colour it should be on my desktop as the back up location, however the back up simply won't start.
I should mention that I have upgraded this laptop to another newer model which I since returned and went back to this older model. I also replaced the hard drive, and this is the first time im trying a time machine backup since those two changes
Not many options I can play with so I can't see why it doesn't start the back up...it never took a longtime before to start...
Could it be anything to do with space? Now the comp has about 490gb needing back up and there's only 100gb of space on the ext hd,because there's about 400gb of previous back ups on there. I didn't think this would be a problem though as I understood time machine just erases old backups when it doesn't have space
Any suggestions welcome! Thx in advance!
Both laptop capacity and ext hd are 500gb

Couple of clarifying questions:
1) How long are you waiting?
2) Have you upgraded the OS to Lion?
When I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, the first few time machines took hours 'preparing to backup' before the actual backup to occur. We're talking 6+ hours. I'd usually leave it over night to backup. Even my last fresh reinstall of Lion took about 20min to prepare the first time. Now the hourly backups take maybe 1min total.
My suggestion is to leave it over night and see what happens. It very well could be that the differences between your last backup and current machine state is so different it's taking a long time to determine all the changes.

Newbee's question: Error connecting to the management server for the first time

Dear all, I am very new to the oralce world and got stuck today the first time I install oracle 8i on my win2k pro.
After the installation, I was trying to connect the Enterprise Manager Console for the first time, using the default user name sysman and password oem_temp (correct?). The problem is that I don't know exactly what is a management server, and what name it should be called. I named the database/sid name orarem, under D:\Oracle\admin\OraRem, does it have something to do with this issue?
I only installed the oracle enterprise server edition 8.1.6.0.0, not the Client part, will that matter if I only wanna run oracle on my stand alone desktop as a testing procedure for now?
Any help would be really appreciated!!

Bingo!! I had been trying dumping various .plist files
Not surprisingly i was a little hesitant about throwing the Airport folder in the bin.
First thing I did was to check it had been replaced on restarting!
Glad to say that "Check for updates" is now doing its thing.
I don't know why it gave me such grief, I just felt it could develope into something nasty down the line.
Thank you again.
Unfortunately they don't seem to have a points system for this topic.
Your fix should be available in Google from now on
