Getting "Unable to submit to queue" message

I'm trying to run a .mov file through Compressor 3.0.5 to shrink the audio track using a Dolby Digital Pro 2.0 setting. I load the necessary file, destination, and settings info into the job, but when I hit "Submit," I keep getting a dialog box that says "Unable to submit to queue. Please restart or verify that your installation is correct."
Well, restarting hasn't helped. Neither has trying some different settings, to see if the problem is just associated with one configuration. I don't use Compressor often, but the last time I tried this routine - quite a while ago -- I believe it proceeded without a hitch. All my other FCS apps - Final Cut and Motion, at least -- have been working fine.
Any suggestions on how to break through this submission barrier? I've got a DVD project that needs to be delivered in 24 hours. Thanks.

There may be an issue with the installation of Compressor.
Digital Rebellion also has FCS remover which can assist with properly removing Compressor from your system. You can then reinstall from your discs.
Due to the shared elements in FCS you will need to feed a large part of the discs to complete the reinstall. You may just want to consider uninstalling all and then reinstalling all of FCS.
Digital Rebellion also has a preference manager that can save preferences for FC, DSP, etc. You get to choose what you would like to save.

Compressor 3.05 "unable to submit to queue" after upgrade to Mountain Lion

I have successfully compressed 1500 videos using Compressor 3.05 while running OS X10.5 (Leopard). I just upgraded to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) and the first batch I sent to Compressor had destination issues that I fixed (I think). I'm not getting any more exclamation marks but now it drops down the error message "Unable to Submit to Queue - please restart your computer or verify your Compressor installation is correct." I have restarted, of course. I have no idea how to verify the installation is correct. We did migrate all the files to a new boot drive, but FCP 6.0.6 and all other programs are working well.

Perhaps Compressor installed correctly but Qmaster didn't. You could try running Compressor Repair (check the trash preferences box) and see whether that changes anything. Also repairing permissions after installing is always a good idea,
FWIW, I've been skeptical about the reliability of using Migration Assistant on pro apps – although I know there are a lot of hurdles to get over if installing FCS 2 on either Lion or ML and can understand why. I hope that someone who has actually installed FCS2 on either of those OS versions will chime in with suggestions based on their experience. Have you tried getting the Rosetta installer to install on ML so you can use the FCS disks?

Simple Solution to "Unable to submit to queue..." Problem

This may not work for everybody -- configurations are so different
Did a clean install of the OS, reinstalled FCS2 (all parts), but still got the "Unable to submit to queue..." message. While I was looking at the Compressor screen with that frustrating message, I clicked on the Batch Monitor button.
Up came the Batch Monitor screen saying "No cluster" in the left side column and "No cluster" in the right side column. Then I went to the Batch Monitor User Manual under the Help menu. On page two, I found this wording accompanying the "Cluster List" section: "Displays a list computers (sic) available for processing batches, including 'This computer' (the one running Batch Monitor) and all enabled Apple Qmaster processing clusters..."
Well, "This computer" did not show up in either of the columns -- both showed "No cluster."
I called Tech Support to see if this could be at the bottom of my "Unable to submit to queue..." problem.
The helpful staffer told me to go to the System Preferences panel and check the "Computer Name" under the "Sharing" settings. There was no computer name. Since I am the only person using the G5, I never saw a need to name it.
I put in a name and rebooted. Problem gone! Compressor works fine after all these months of frustration and doing clean installs, etc.
Hope this works for some of you, too.

Hello David,
I cannot agree with you I am afraid. iChat works fine for me on 10.4.3. I am sure it works fine for many others too. There are some set up issues, they seem to get resolved pretty quickly in here.
Not a criticism as such David - But suggesting that the best fix is a retro grade one is perhaps not the best resolution to a problem.
I am not saying I can fix your problem - there are many here better than me at sorting out problems ( I won't name names but they know who they are! ) :-)))
Why not post back with some more information about the problem. The set up there. Any error messages you get.... I'll bet you a Pound of Apples and a large Pineapple that some one can get you chatting happily on 10.4.3.
Now theres a challenge!!!
Best regards

Compressor unable to submit to queue

hi there, i was using compressor3.0.3 and everything worked fine then a message would come up when i submit a project saying " unable to submit to queue. please restart or verify compressor install is correct". i spoke with a mac person that had me trash my prefs then open a new user. it worked at first then i got the same message. i uninstalled fcp then reinstalled but it is still the same. can anyone help??? thank you

I had the same issue on a couple of machines, the common denominator seems to be a character that is not a valid network address character i.e. "&". I removed it from four locations I am not sure which is actually important. Here are the 4 locations: 1. Sharing preference option "Computer Name" 2. Sharing preference then in "Edit..." option "Hostname" 3. Apple Qmaster preference Setup pane option "Identify this QuickCluster as:" 4. Apple Qmaster preference Advanced pane option "Identify this computer to Qadministrator as:".

Compressor 4.2 Unable to submit to queue

I am having trouble with Compressor 4.2, "Unable to submit to queue, Please restart your computer or verify your Compressor installation is correct."
I am not able to compress anything from Compressor 4.2, but I am able to use all the Compressor preset including that one that I create in Compressor from FCP X.
I have repairer Compressor with Digital Rebellion,
I have delete Compressor with FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion,
I have remove the Compressor folder in Library Application Support,
If I open Apple Qmaster there is a massage "Apple Qmaster cannot be opened because of a problem.
I have also remove Apple Qmaster.
I don't know what else to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ricky

Im surprised that trading trashing the Compressor folder wasn't the cure.
Try moving Qmaster to the trash (you don;t have to empty it).
Any luck?

Getting "Unable to write cache file" message in DW CS4

I was having some issues with a Javascript message, so looking for possible solutions, I came across “Deleting a Corrupted Cache File” in the Index to Dreamweaver FAQ located on this forum. I decided to give it a shot and carefully followed the instructions on my Windows XP, deleting the suggested cache file in my Configuration folder. That didn’t help make my Javascript message go away, though I did eventually find a work-around for that issue.
However, after deleting this cache file, I began to get the following message every time I close my program or change sites in local files, “Unable to write cache file ‘C:\Documents and Settings\...” the message ends with the site name and the extension .dws. If I go to Manage Sites and turn off the Enable Cache button for that particular site, I no longer get the message. But if I turn the Enable Cache Button back on, I get the message again. It gives this same message for all the sites.
I’m hoping others have had this issue and there is a simple fix. I can’t say for sure that deleting the cache file in the configuration folder caused this, but it was only after that I began noticing the problem, so it would make sense the two are likely related.
Also, I wonder how important the cache is. I could just turn off the Enable Cache Button for all the sites as a work-around if there's no quick fix and if it’s no big deal.

First of all, only delete cache files when DW is shutdown.
Also, there are a few different caches. That article only addresses 1 of them. Take a look at this TechNote to be able to find the Site .dws cache files:

Why do users get "unable to set template properties" message?

Hi there,
I am trying to administer a new site that was created with DW and has a .dwt (Templates/ locatedat the site root). I'm creating "Publisher" role connection keys so users can edit their subsections of the site. Users should be able to modify template properties when they edit/create new pages.
While testing the keys, the users report that they can connect and edit pages. However, when they try to modify template properties on either a new or existing page, they get this message "Unable to set template properties" and are prevented.
I've tried redefining the site and starting all over, tried CS3 vs. CS4 to see if it was a compatibility issue, looked at forum after forum but can't find any answers. I am experienced with DW but new to Contribute administration so I don't know what else to try. Hoping that someone will have encountered this before and can suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance!
ps- Let me know if there's other info I can provide to help troubleshoot.

I did find this April 9, 2009 post from majtom2grndctrl that suggests the issue is how contribute treats https:// sites. My site is set up as majtom2grndctrl described and I am having the same problem.
"I've got a problem with not being able to edit Template Properties on our test sites we host on HTTPS servers. I've narrowed down the problem to Contribute CS4 ignoring the website root configuration when it looks for the Templates folder. For example, say you have a site hosted at the following address:
https://www.yourdomain.com/yourfolder/
Contribute is configured to know your site is in /yourfolder/, but for whatever reason, when you open or create a page, and Contribute reads the InstanceBegin template="/Templates/file.dwt" tag at the beginning of HTML documents, it looks for a Templates folder at the HTTP server root, not in /yourfolder/. This prevents Contribute from loading the template while editing a document, and any attempt to edit Template Properties will yield the infamous "Unable to set template properties" dialog box."

Compressor Unable to Submit

This problem has been posted about before . . . I I have not been able to find a solution that works for me.
Since "upgrading" FCS2 Compressor has been broken and has produced nothing but "unable to Submit to queue." I have followed all the instructions in the "Compressor: Troubleshooting basics" to do a remove and reinstall and then upgraded. It did not help.
I also cannot start Qmaster sharing because "qmasterd is not running." which I assume is the underlying problem.
Anyone solved these problems?

For the record, I finally got Compressor to work . . . after the second time reinstalling it. What I did was:
1) Delete the previous installation per the instructions on Apple's Compressor troubleshooting page.
2) Reinstall FCS2 from the upgrade disk (deselecting the install content options to save time)
3) Install the Qmaster that's included on the FSC2 Upgrade disk in the extras folder.
4) Upgrade FCS2 via Software Update.
5) Started sharing from the Qmaster preference pane in System Preferences.
The key, I think, was compeleting these steps before attempting to run Compressor. Previously I had tested Compressor before doing the updates.

Have leopard but still get Cannot Submit Batche error message in Compressor

i get the "cannot submit batch unable to connect to background process" error message. Some posts attribute this to a Tiger anomaly but it has happened to me after i went to 10.4.10--though i had not used my DVDSP2 in several months.
Any suggestions appreciated

Sounds like your compressor preferences are trashed. You can try getting your old compressor preferences before you installed leopard.
leopard keeps some of the old file from you previous system.
I forget what the name of the folder is but its something like previous versions in your main directory. From the previous system folder navigate to your old
compressor settings. users>yourname>library>application support>compressor.
copy those files from you previous system folder and move them the new compressor files location that can be found under you username NOT IN THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM FOLDER.
You can also try moving your present compressor settings to the trash (DO NOT EMPTY)and rebooting then launching compressor. You might get prompted to reinstall compressor from disk or website file.
There also used to be a way to download just compressor from apples website.
If all that doesn't work. DO A CLEAN INSTALL final cut likes that better then upgrades.
Back up and do a clean build.
Back up old content to other HD then OS is on.
Reformat OS HD
Reinstall OS
Reinstall FCP (long time).
FCP will be happier that way.
HOPE IT HELPS.

HT3275 I continue to get the following error message: Unable to complete back up.an error occurred while creating backup folder. It's a brand new drive. When I attempt to repair it using disk utility I get:unable to repair disk cannot unmounted

I have been trying to use time machine on a new lacie 2tb usb 2 drive for back up. I continue to get: "unable to complete backup.An error occured while creating backup folder". When I use disk utility to repair I get another error message: unable to repair disk unmountable.
Help me Obie One Canobie you are my last hope

I have confused myself with the facts! Started out keeping track of every step and every variable but have sort of lost it as we progress here. First I quit all applications then swapped connections between mouse port and backup disk port to influence possible bad connections question. Changed power outlet receptacle for the backup disk. Disabled the put-the-HD-to-sleep option. Then powered down the computerator.
Next started up computerator. Turned Time Machine ON and experienced multiple successful backups! Then I started up a few applications, Mail and Text Edit (but not Safari so far). Had a few more successes. After each backup, I used Disk Utility to verify the backup disk is still OK. This because the error about unable to unmount the backup disk seems to go hand in hand with Disk Utility finding the backup disk to be bad.
Put computer to sleep for the night. Upon starting up in the morning, and before doing anything else, I did a backup disk verification... BAD! Did a restart and verified the backup disk... OK.
Did a few Sleep-bad, Restart -OK repetitions.
It seems consistent: Sleeping the computer apparently messes up the backup disk but doing a Restart "repairs" it.
=============================
Now then, I don't understand everything I know here. Methinks that maybe keeping the HD from sleeping during lulls in activity has allowed successful backups through the day but manually putting everything to sleep for the night causes a return to the problem of spinning-back-up-too-slowly (which was explained earlier). Is there any truth in this?
I may abandon this Seagate thing for something more compatible. What's out there that we know works reliably for us?

Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my app. This is my last major stumbling block that I have to resolve for this and other forms in the app.
Actually, I did use the Form Wizard for Auto DML to originally create the form. It was great. It created most of the Buttons, Items and Validations automatically (basically most of the page). I just needed to create some Processes and Computations. Two of which were the Processes to update the 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields and 'update_dt' and 'updated_by' fields. The Create process updates the fields just fine.
However, my problem seems to be that the Hidden 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields aren't picking up the values from a record that is being editted. Then when I attempt to save the record those fields are NULL, causing the DB NOT NULL constraint to throw an exception for those fields. In the back of my mind I seem to remember seeing some post stating something to the effect that the information in fields with a Source Type of Database Column is just displayed and does not affect Session State items.
Even with that, I am still wondering just why the 'created_by' Page Item shows the value that is in the DB record being updated, but the 'create_dt" does not (as can be seen in my first posting). It is the 'create_dt' Page Item (:P205_CREATE_DT) not having the DB records 'create_dt' info in it that appears to be the problem.
Thanks,
Tom
