Compressor wont open and crashes fcp

i searched the forums for this problem couldnt find any..i want to export my project to compressor..but compressor quits "unexpectedly" (although becoming quite expected) it also crashes final cut. i tried to open compressor from the finder and it crashes. any help would be appreciated..thanks

Have you done the normal maintainence routines, repair permissions, run diskwarrior, run the cron routines using something like macjanitor, etc.? run ram tests using the hardware diagnostic disk that came with the computer or using techtoolpro?
Has compressor ever worked on your system?
Are all your drives formatted macosextended (I know this shouldn't make any difference for compressor, but...).
Try removing all peripherals except mouse and keyboard and see if that makes any difference.
When does compressor quit? While it's encoding? If so, what are specs you're using to encode?

  • Compressor wont open and unexpectedly quitting

    When I open compressor from FCP, compressor shows in the dock and then unexpectedly quits, FCP freezes up and I have to force quit.
    I thought it was QuickTime 7.2 so reinstalled the OS, but then it simply did nothing, doesn't even appear in the doc.
    I have tried reinstalling Compressor and when I tried to open it showed up in the dock and then gave the "unexpectedly quit" again!
    I upgraded to QuickTime 7.1.6 and nothing seems to have changed.
    Would a complete reinstall of FCS do anything?

    I tried following the same steps again and it still doesn't work.
    here's my crash report:

  • Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Hi,
    If it was installed as a Firefox extension you can try to '''Remove''' it in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''.

    On the other hand, if it was installed as a Windows application or Internet Explorer application, you may have to uninstall it via the Windows OS Control Panel, or via the browsers concerned. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/ Windows support] would be helpful.

    Hi,
    You will need to do a restore while in DFU mode.
    The easiest way to find out how to put your iPhone into DFU is to Google it and see for yourself.

    Hello AlexCornejo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode.  Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
    Take care,

    Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
    See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

  • Firefox wont open and the task manager wont open as well

    My firefox wont open and when i try to fix it by managing profiles, it wont start up. when i try to go through the task manager it also wont start up. i dont know what i can do to fix this. ive tried uninstalling and installing tons of times. i just dont know what to do

    Clint:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In terms of the Firefox issue. Boot the computer and log in. Then go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and see if Firefox is listed there. If it is, then select it and click the minus sign at then bottom left. The reboot the computer and try to launch Firefox.
    A couple of other things to check. Open a Finder Window (Commnand + N when in Finder) and look in the sidebar. Do you see a white disk-like icon named Firefox? If you do, click on it, drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder, then eject the white disk icon.
    If neither of the above work, hold down Command + Option + esc. Do you see Firefox in the list of items to Force quit? If you do, select it and Force quit.
    Please let me know if any of these work.
    In terms of Dashboard, do you have the install disk for the OS you have installed?
