Have rebooted - connect ext. drives. Compressord still activates old que?

Attempted to re-encode pal apple pro ress lt masters into NTSC using compressor
Compressor appeared not to work - ie all had 'waiting' in the job bar.
weirdly, the encodes were popping up in finder as complete - would appear compressor is doing the jobs, but not notifying that there getting done in compressor.
Used toast to auto change from pal - ntsc so no longer required compressor.
Despite re-starting the com, 'force quitting' compressor in activity monitor, it still pops up like a very bad **** lol
Im guessing every time i connect the ext. drives, compressor will work away until its done.
any solution? Fairly odd thing

So, which FW400 portable drive (brand & model) would
you personally recommend?
Regards,
Neither!
Actually, I am going to be booting Windows from a 5Gig internal (bootcamp) partition and the OS files will reside on the external drive. This limits me to SATA & USB.
I am going to get a USB 2.0 enclosure and get one of those 4 drives mentioned at the end of the article (Hitachi TravelStar 5k100 & 7k100 & the Seagate Momentus 5400 and/or 7200rpm drives). That will be my "mobile" solution.
Then, I'm going to find a SATA enclosure (3.5") that does eSATA and FW. I'll clone my mobile drive onto that (well, at least the windows install). I'll run FW400 until prices for the eSATA cards come down to the $50 range (the cards are already there - well one brand is, but there are no mac drivers for it, just windows... so maybe that cheap one will work for me...)
Don't know what brand & size 3.5 drive I'm gonna get.
As for the enclosures, there is something that I don't know that much about. How much of a difference do the chipsets on these things really make a difference? Oxford is the only chipset that I know by name, but I am going to stay away from those. I saw a recording studio lose thousands of dollars worth of recorded time (that they had to refund) because the oxford chipset on their external HDD died and took the drive with it. When I took it to a data recovery specialist friend of mine and told him what happened his first question was "Oxford chipset?" I'm sure that they are much improved now over 2 years ago, but I don't want to take any chances.

  • How do I download firefox when it keeps prompting me to reboot but when I do it still won't? have rebooted 6 times now and still can't download.

    I had firefox months ago but due to computer problems had to remove it but now I can't redownload it because it keeps prompting me to reboot to complete a previous uninstall but when I allow it to it reboots the computer than nothing happens so I try to download again and it still says reboot have rebooted 6 times and it still won't let me download.

    yes I am. windows isn't giving me any prompts other than the original one authorizing firefox to run the installation program before the download starts then part way into the download firefox asks me to reboot so the download it starting then it tells me I can't finish the download because I have to reboot because of a previous uninstall that needs to complete so when I reboot it should finish the installation but it doesn't and then when I try the download again I get the same thing again like it's stuck in a loop

    When I attempt to delete emails on my iPad my mail crashes.  I have rebooted and synced and it still happens.  Any ideas?

    Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
    Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
    If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

    i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    Cannot connect an iPhone to cable, Ethernet or any other wired network media. But since I assume you want to activate the phone so it works as a phone thru some carrier, you can activate it thru that carrier's data link. Just make sure you have a data plan in the contract or pay-as-you-go SIM.

  • Moving folders to ext. drive--photos still showing on library page

    I've moved a couple of years of photos to an external drive to make more space. However, when I open Iphoto, I'm still seeing these photos on the main library page. When I double click on a photo, I get a blank image with a question mark, which I know means a source can't be found.
    My questions are: Should I delete the photos showing in the Iphoto library that I have moved to the external drive to prevent confusion? Or is there a certain file with this information that I can delete and rebuild from the photos now on my Mac HD?
    If I move the photos from the external drive back to the computer hard drive, will they reappear in the library again?
    Thank you!

    There's no need to post again, and it's only important because the answers vary for different versions - for instance it's perfectly possible to have a referenced library in v6.
    Here's what I would do now. Because you've moved these files around and putting them back isn't working, we have to regard the database as corrupted. I would rebuild the Library and then import any that are still missing after the rebuild.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Have Upgrade Graphic Card Driver, But Still Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness and Sleep Button Not Showing After Clean Installation of Windows 8.1

    I have done clean installation of Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion G4.
    Then I realize that I cannot put my computer on sleep mode and cannot adjust screen brightness.
    I understand that those problems caused by the graphic card driver.
    My computer is running on AMD Radeon HD 6400 series.
    Thus, I manually search on internet and found a latest graphic card update on microsoft site that is claimed compatible on windows 8.1 (link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn344644.aspx).
    I've upgraded it into the latest one. I've check on Device Manager, the driver is running well.
    But my problem did not solved!
    Please give me the solution!

    Hi,
    How about go to Device Manager, then uninstall Graphic driver and restart your computer, system will install its build in graphic drver. You can have a try.
    In addition, access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Brightness and set its value to 100 for test.

  • I have downloaded and put the new version of Firefox in to my applications. But every time I open it on my mac, it says I am still runnung the old version. I have rebooted several times, but it still is not the new version I keep downloading.

    When I open FIrefox, it asks me to upgrade to the new version. I download it, and move it to my applications file as directed. Then I restart, and it goes back to the old version. I have a macbook pro. What should I do to get the newer version to run?

    You need to install Office on the computer from the installer DVD or disc image you purchased.

  • Is there an easy way to copy a cd or a dvd? Spent 2 hours with Apple Support and they have no idea. I have the apple ext drive. I am unfamiliar with the iMac (first time owning a mac) and it was so simple on a pc.

  • Can I switch external hard drives and still access old Time Machine backups?

    I have a Mac Book Pro linked to 2 1TB external hard drives, one used as my Time Machine Back up, the other used as a manual ad hoc back up and to store even older files.
    The TM back up drive is now full. If I just unplug it/switch it off and plug in and set up a new 2TB hard drive as my TM back up, will I still be able to access the back ups on the original TM drive if necessary, through TM?
    Wil it be a start over situation with the new drive, performing a complete back up to begin with?
    Or would you advise me to transfer the old back folder to the new drive, given that it will be larger?

    Hi den.thed,
    Thank you for this - I think the easy option by far appears to be to leave existing backups on disk 1, and plug in disk 2 and start over.

  • HT1386 does anyone know how to change my user ID on my ipod and ipad. I changed my itunes user id on my laptop. I have synced and restored but it still shows old user id on thes two .

    has anyone any suggestions? 

    If you are talking about an Apple ID use Settings > iTunes & App Stores touch Apple ID, sign out and sign in with correct Apple ID.
    If you are talking about the iPad device name change it in Settings > General > About > Name.

  • How do I move all my movies onto an external hard drive and still run imovie

    My Mac hard drive is full due to 300GB's of movies. I don't want to lose the movies and still want to work on them/create projects etc.
    I've bought an external hard drive so have copied and pasted all the movies across from MAC hard drive to external hard drive.
    I want to delete the movies off the MAC hard drive but still ensure Imovie picks up the movies from the external hard drive (continuously plugged in).
    Can anyone let me know how I can do this?
    Thanks

    Hi
    In regard to some versions of iMovie - and to ALL Video workings on a Mac
    All - iMovie - all versions, FinalCut, Adobe Premiere etc etc
    External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - Else broken files and all kinds of trouble
    and rather a FireWire or Thunderbolt connected ext. drive - as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up, and when I use HD-Material (for SD-Video quality it may work better - but to a severe quality loss)
    iMovie'08 and '09 and '11 ( Don't have iMovie'13 version 10.0.x)
    DO not move or alter ANY video material - On DeskTop/Finder and in any folders named anything like
    iMovie Event's - or -
    iMovie Project's
    If moved to e.g. another hard disk - the link back to iMovie app is broken - and this can be anything from HARD to IMPOSSIBLY to mend !
    BUT instead.
    Connect new (hfs-formatted) ext hard disk
    Start iMovie
    Move Event's and Project's - within the application
    and now links to material is preserved - and space gained on the Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk

  • LaCie Ext drive

    I have a LaCie Ext Drive. I turned it on today and it didn't appear on my desktop. I checked the USB connection in back of the computer and just pressed it in a little harder and icon appeared. I tread brining this big iMAC in to be repaired. What other things can I troubleshoot before resorting to that?
    The connection was already pretty tight when I pushed it in so I really don't know if it was a coincidence that it started working after I did that. So it's not like it was very loose. Should I get a new USB cable? Could the USB port be faulty? I'm concerned that if the drive gets disconnected while it is operating, it will get damaged or cause files to be damaged. My puter is 2 years old and the drive is
    less than a year old. Never had ANY problems with either until now. Any advice?

  • Backing up iMac and photos stored on an external drive to another ext drive

    Hi
    I have been searching everywhere for a solution to my back-up procedure. But there are so many different options and scenarios and I am getting so confused. At the moment I have an iMac with a 1TB HD. Very little of it is used up as all my photos are stored on a 1 TB external HD and managed through Lightroom. At the moment I am backing up both drives using Time Machine to another 2TB ext drive. I don't really feel comfortable only using Time Machine to back up all my photos. And maybe that is only because I dont really understand how it works, especially when it comes to overwriting the data (which I have not had to do yet - even though I have had my iMac for over two years and I have about 400GB of photos on my 1TB external drive). What I would like to do (but am not sure how) is have two identical ext drives with my photos on that I can swap regularly and also use between my iMac and my new MacBook Pro which I am getting next week. I want to continue backing up my iMac HD with Time Machine and possibly even have a bootable clone. It would also be nice to be able to carbon the 1TB ext drive to my 2TB drive alongside my TM backups. So I will therefore have two exact copies of my drive with my photos on it. And a back up drive with TM backups and a copy of the photos (in a separate folder or something). But I am so confused about what is the best way to go about this.
    Thank you so much in advance for your help or taking the time to read this looong explanation.
