Encoder crashes every other time I render.

Didn't have this problem three weeks ago. Encoding a two hour movie was no problem. Now, every other time it crashes when I start rendering even with a short 30 min portion of movie,
Equipment-
Late 2013  iMac - i7
Nvidia Cuda 6.5.18 undated two days ago.
New i7 motherboard installed by Apple two weeks ago.
32 GB of Ram, 27 GB dedicated to PP
And PP and Encoder are up to date.
Currently going from HD pro res on timeline to H-264 on Encoder, in the form of a Vimeo SD 23.976.
The fans begin to go on strong about about 15 min or so. I figured this was natural. After a minute or two they would get quiet.
The error message I receive says "The operation was interrupted by user, Export Error, Error compiling movie, unknown error." Help!
Thanks guys-

Jim,
This sparked a whole host of trial and error but finally figured something out that seems to have worked (at least for the past 4 hours and 5 saves) I saved my project with collecting all audio onto the XSan than opened up that project and saved as AGAIN without collecting audio to my harddrive. Essentially I end up with a "Media" file on the Xsan that has all related media to my project but the project file itself lives on my harddrive......this seems to be the only way to make it work. When I had both the "media" folder and project folder both on the XSan it was still crashing. Now it's going to be interesting to conform to the newest reiteration of the video edit with all this but I'm sure it'll just take some more trial and error, thanks a lot for the tips!!

  • HT1349 My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open a Windows PC or Laptop and the "Matching with the itunes store" starts.  It's driving me nuts because I can't sync to my iphones or my ipad.

    My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open the software on any of my PCs and laptops.  Once the Itunes match features starts it's ony a matter of a minute or two before the software crashes.  I have tons of new songs that I want to sync to my ipod, ipad and iphones but can't get it accomplished.  Any suggestions??

  • Updated to iTunes 11.0.1 on my iMac 10.6.8 and it crashes every single time on launch.

    As above, I foolishly updated to iTunes 11.0.1 after a software update prompt on my iMac 10.6.8, thinking I was doing a good thing getting my machine ready for my daughter's new iPad mini tomorrow.
    As it stands, the iPad is going to be such a let down as iTunes is crashing every single time on launch, never my own frustration having no access to my tunes. Thanks a bunch Apple.
    Can someone please state in easy to follow instructions how I might repair iTunes.
    If it helps with a solution, I have a Jan 2012 backup of the app which I cannot open receiving the following message:-
    "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
    The actual error the new iTunes is giving is below:-

    In anticipation, thanks.

    Thanks Mike.
    What I have ended up doing is
    purchasing Snow Mountain 10.8.2 & installing
    doing the disk repairs as you stated
    rebooted
    and eventually things seem okay with iTunes having synced an iPod, viewed playlists and played a load of tunes.
    Disappointed Apple have again failed with a piece of software and have taken £13.99 that I needn't have spent but pleased to not be letting the daughter down tomorrow.
    Thanks for your help Mike.
    Happy Christmas.

  • Photobooth crashes every single time when using Motu Hybrid MK3 audio interface?

    Photobooth crashes every single time when using Motu Hybrid MK3 audio interface.
    It is happening on my late 2013 IMAC, and also on my old 2011 Macbook pro.

    Same thing here with Mavericks and M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.  Very easy to reproduce, Apple. Set your audio interface for the external device, try to record Photo Booth video. It will crash. Every. Single. Time. Always.

  • Firefox is crashing every single time I try and open it

    After using Firefox on my laptops for years proble free a few days ago it started crashing every single time I tried to open it,The web page opens for about one second then crashes and I get the crash report dialogue box this happens in safe mode as well. I do not have time to do any editing to my browser page as it crashes within a second. I have uninsalled and reinstalled Firefox 3.68 and have just downloaded the beta 4 to see if that might work but same problem.IE works fine and from there have tried to load dozens of websites on firefox as firefox is my default browser. As I have said the site loads no problem but instantly crashes. Very grateful for any help

  • Every other time I type cmd k for keyboard in Logic Pro X, the track that is selected is muted.

    The title kind of says it all. Every other time that I press the shortcut for onscreen keys, the selected track is muted. By that I mean if I press cmd+k it brings up the keyboard unmuted, then press cmd+k to get rid of it and it's still fine, but the next time I press cmd+k to bring the keyboard back up, the track is muted.
    Only noticed this today, and don't know what I did. Please Help!

    Figured it out! On the menu bar I clicked Logic Pro X > Control Surfaces > Learn Assignment for "Mute", which meant that I Mute was the last command that I had clicked on. In the (No Zone) section, there was a Learned Assignment, and I simply clicked delete and it disappeared. Now everything is just fine.

  • KDE: Laptop only sleeps when closing lid every other time

    Hello all,
    I'm running KDE 4.14.1 on an older Toshiba Satellite laptop. In the KDE System Settings, I've told it to sleep when closing the lid and this works - but strangely only every other time I close the lid. It will work once, then I open the lid and it powers up just fine. Then I close it again and the screen just turns off but the laptop stays fully powered.
    Any ideas what might be going on? It consistently only sleeps every other time when I close the lid (the other times it just turns the screen off).

    Take a look at /etc/systemd/logind.conf
    Is systemd also trying to manage this?

  • Fails to find HD on boot up every other time

    Starting in mid-November, shortly after replacing the battery and upgrading to 10.4.3, my ibook would not find the HD during boot up every other time I went to use it. I tried booting from the installation disc 10.4, resetting, PRAM, PMU, NVRAM, etc. but nothing short of putting the computer away for the rest of the day helped. The next day it boots up normally. If it goes to sleep, it starts the SBBOD and freezes. If I shut it down, it fails to boot up, only displaying the file folder with the alternating Mac face/question mark. The only solution is to just let it sit.
    This computer is within the range of serial numbers for the logic board recall, but did not display any symptoms within the three years, and now that is over. I don't understand the regularity with which it intermittently works and fails without anything being done to it.
    BTW, I have reinstalled 10.4, repaired permissions, done one update at a time, repairing permissions in between and it worked fine for two days and has again failed to find the HD on boot up. I have the same software on my Power PC (the same age) and have no trouble whatsoever. I'm typing this from that computer.

    This is what I get everytime I run repair disk permissions.

  • Mac book pro doesn't wake up every other time with external monitor

    It is related to 'Put display to sleep' as I managed to find out. When you have 'put display to sleep' turned on, every other time screen doest turn back on, nor external nor internal, sometimes internal lits up and there is just blue screen, not desktop. You can't do anything except turning notebook off. No mouse, no keyboard, nothing, there is no mouse pointer either. I didn't experiment without external monitor, though, maybe it hangs up too.
    This thing did cost me $2800. Can it atleast work as it supposed too?
    I set it to 'never sleep', 'never sleep display', but frankly, it *****. When I need to go out, I just turn monitor off.
    Is apple doing anything to resolve that issue? Do they read these forums?

  • Hi everybody, I am in Turkey on a long assignment, I need help solving a big problem on my macbook pro os 10.9.3. The other week my wife visited some website and now we have a redirect virus of some sort, and every other time when we click

    Hi everybody, I am in Turkey on a long assignment, I need help solving a big problem on my macbook pro os 10.9.3. The other week my wife visited some website and now we have a redirect virus of some sort, and every other time when we click on a link or anywhere on the page we are redirected to this casino web site, https://casino.7bets10.com/tr/?from=hy9yKXD43jSC-8Oxbw4femNd7ZgqdRLk-dHJpeG9uaXR l. Its the same whether on Chrome or Safari. Does anyone have a solution, thank you!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    Paste into the window of another application.
    Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Native application installer fails on Mac 10.5.8 every other time

    Hello,
    I have a native AIR 2.0 application with a native installer which I silently install as a part of a bigger package.
    On Mac, I have a DMG which contains the native installer app and a shell script which copies the native installer app into a temporary folder, and then invokes it passing "-silent" option.
    For some reasons the native installer fails every other time, i.e. if I install the app and then move it to trash and then try to re-install, the installer fails.
    However if I try re-installing once again, installation succeeds. I can consistently reproduce this problem.
    This seems to happen only on Mac OS 10.5.8. On 10.6.0 and above everything seems to work fine.
    What can be the reason for such inconsistent behavior?
    OS version is Mac OS 10.5.8, CPU: 2.8GHz Intel Core Duo
    Below is the log for the cases when the installer fails:

    Thanks in advance

    Chris, thank you for your answer.
    The only argument I pass into the installer command line is "-silent", i.e. the command line looks like
    "/tmp/PixelNovel/Install Timeline.app/Contents/MacOS/Install Timeline" -silent
    I've noticed that the installer fails only if it's called from a wrapper package. If I invoke the above command line directly from Terminal, the installer consistently succeeds.
    Here is the full log for the case when installer fails:

  • Submit to an iframe, only happens every other time

    We have a navigation (tree widget) that is generated with JavaScript. Clicking on the tree nodes is supposed to load an url i the content iframe.
    A hidden form is used for this. By clicking on a tree node a hidden inputs field value is set and the hidden form is submitted that does a post to the iframe (using target on the form).
    First question would be if this is the best solution for this. Feels a bit hacky.
    But the main problem is that the form is only submitted every other time.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    >In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)

  • Deploying Windows Service Fails Every Other Time

    I'm using Release Management 2013 to deploy a Windows service.  I go through the steps listed below to deploy it.  It fails on the first step (Delete Service) every other time.  When I run it again, it works.  It seems like it's saying
    it failed, but is somehow actually succeeding.  After it fails, I don't see the service in the Services list anymore.  Then when I run the deployment again, it succeeds. 
    I have found that if I manually stop the service before deploying again, it will always succeed.  There doesn't seem to be a good way of doing that in Release Management though, since the Stop Service action will error out if the service doesn't exist.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    ==============
    Delete Service
    Create Folder
    XCopy Site Deployment (deploys from drop folder)
    Copy Config Files from Drop folder (copies config files folder from drop folder)
    Delete File(s) or Folder (deletes existing config)
    Rename File or Folder (renames appropriate copied config to the name of the previously deleted config file)
    Delete File(s) or Folder (deletes other config files)
    Delete File(s) or Folder (deletes config folder)
    Create Service
    Start Service

    Hi,
    You may have solved this by now, but for the record, I had the exact same issue. The problem is in this section of ManageWindowsServices.ps1
    elseif ($Action -eq "delete")
    #If the service exists, we first stop it to avoid "Marked for deletion" problems
    $service = Get-Service -Name $ServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if ($service -ne $null)
    #Stop the service
    $status = & "sc.exe" "$ServerName" stop "$ServiceName"
    "Stop status : $status"
    $status = & "sc.exe" "$ServerName" $Action "$ServiceName"
    "Delete status : $status"
    #Ensure the service was deleted successfully
    $service = Get-Service -Name $ServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if ($service -ne $null)
    $(throw "The deletion of the service failed.")
    else
    $exitCode = 0
    and is due to the fact that the second Get-Service call does actually return the service, even though it's after the call to delete it. Presumably this is some kind of race condition, where the call to delete the service returns before it's finished all
    it's work.
    In any case, the solution I went for was to rewrite this section as:
    elseif ($Action -eq "delete")
    [int]$returnCode = 0
    #If the service exists, we first stop it to avoid "Marked for deletion" problems
    $service = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name='$ServiceName'"
    if ($service -ne $null)
    #Stop the service
    $status = & "sc.exe" "$ServerName" stop "$ServiceName"
    "Stop status : $status"
    "Deleting Service..."
    $returnCode = $service.delete().ReturnValue
    "Return code was : $returnCode"
    if ($returnCode -ne 0)
    $(throw "The deletion of the service failed: Return code was $returnCode")
    #Ensure the service was deleted successfully
    $service = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name='$ServiceName'"
    if ($service -ne $null)
    $(throw "The deletion of the service failed.")
    else
    $exitCode = 0
    The above code works in all cases that I've run it for. You can either edit the existing ManageWindowsServices script, or simply create a new one. I opted for the latter.
    Note: This is my first attempt at using Powershell, so there may well be a better way of doing the above.

  • SQLPlus works every other time

    Every other time I login into sqlplus I get
    Error:
    ORA-06553: PLS-213 package STANDARD is not accessible
    Error accessing package DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO
    ERROR:
    ORA-06553: PLS-213 package STANDARD is not accessible
    Anyone have any idea why this might be happening, as the views and tables can not be queried when this happens.
    TIA,

    The PL/SQL compiler could not find package STANDARD in the current Oracle database. To compile a program, PL/SQL needs package STANDARD.
    Make sure that package STANDARD is available in the current Oracle database, then retry the operation.
    Query all_source table :
    select distinct name,type from all_source
    where type = 'PACKAGE'
    and name like 'STAND%';
    If you dont get no rows selected, then
    try to check for the same logged in as
    sys or system.
    This package is installed default by Oracle
