Have you ever had Compressor go missing??

Tried reinstalling FCP and tried the fixes listed re: background process. I cannot get Compressor to open while in FCP. Has this happened to anyone else?

after I followed the steps detailed in the Apple link, Compressor stopped working altogether.
That's interesting because if you followed Apple's instructions to the letter and ended with that result it could mean that you have an improper mix of software components on your system. Therefore, somehow you've ended up with a set of software that is not internally consistent. What I mean (by example) is that if component A requires version 1.1 of component B your system may actually have version 1.0 of component B. It's not only the major versions of FCP and Compressor that need to be matched, it's also lots of smaller files and components that make up the entire FCP/Compressor package.
I suppose that this problem could happen if an installation or update failed, or if someone manually installed or removed a component that was not the correct match to your existing system. Or, it could even be caused by some third piece of software that was installed over your existing setup.
I can't suggest any way to resolve such a problem (other than with a complete or clean reinstallation of all of your software) and frankly there is no certainty that what I've described is even the cause of your problem (I'm only making a guess at what could be wrong).
I'd suggest that you look in your console and system logs to see if there are any error messages or warnings that might hint at what could be going wrong. You can view these logs by going to the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac" and then "More Info..." This will bring up the System Profiler and then under the left-hand column ("Contents") go down to "Software" and select "Logs."
You will likely find a lot of messages in both of these logs, even some warnings that have nothing to do with your particular problem. Just scan through the information looking for anything that seems related to Compressor, FCP, Qmaster, QuickTime, or any warning about a missing or incompatible component that could be related to the above.

  • Windows.old Folders ... Have You Ever Had A Use For Them?

    That you know of. What if the old OS has a virus in it?
    As I've said earlier - nuke it just to be safe.

    Has anyone ever needed the Windows.old folders created when an OS is re-loaded or a different OS is loaded on a machine containing an existing OS?
    Deleting them can free up Gigs of space and I do it when I have had to re-load an OS or have upgraded an existing OS.
    Now, for a secondary question.  I have a machine that has this Windows.old folder that I cannot delete.  I have tried while logging into the machine as the Domain Admin and again as the machine local Admin. Each time I am being told I don't have the sufficient permissions to delete the folder.  I have never had this issue happen before.  The Windows.old folder is on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine.  Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

  • Have you ever had video, but no audio in FCP?

    I had a friend digitize footage(as uncompressed 8bit) for me on his mac at work. When I import the clips into FCP there is video, but no audio. Audio does indeed exist because you can here it if the clips are opened in Quicktime. Any ideas on getting the audio to play?
    Thank You Very Much!!!

    Welcome to the forum!
    What codec is the clip? If its a muxed MPEG clip, you'll need to demux/convert it to an editable format prior to importing into your FCP project.
    To find out what codec was used to make the clip, open it in QT and hit Command j, then click on 'Video Track' to see the specs.

  • HT1657 Have you ever had the rented movie frozen have way?

    It's happened to me 5 times. I rent a movie from itnes store and when I'm half way watching the movie freezes and I can't finish watching. Everytime I contact the apple support they reimburse me but I never get to watch the whole movie and they never say why this happens. They say the checked the quality of teh video and that it is safe to rent it again but I did it once and the same thing happened so nowwhen I get reimbursed for a frozen movi I don't rent it again. And every time I'm going to rent a new mivie I'm always hesitant the same thing is going to happen. Has anybody had the same problem'

  • Have you ever had a play with an iPhone 4 then gone back to your 3G?

    Even with 3.1.3 installed you realise how slow the 3G is, everything is just instant on the iPhone 4, no lag at all, After having an iPhone 4 for a day I find it really frustrating using my 3G again.

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Have you ever had the problem where you try to plug in your ipod, and you dont get anything.. Like it wont sync, but when you go on your Ipod you get the "Trust this computer" ? Please help

    So, whenever I try to plug in my IPod I get nothing, I get the sounds of it being synced, but I open ITunes and I have nothing. When I access my IPod 5th gen, I get a message asking me to "trust this computer" this just recently became a problem for me and right about now I don't even know what to do. I backed up, IClouded, DFU, and even reset my Ipod. still the same problem. Please help

    I'm having this same problem. I AM NOT HAPPY, APPLE!!! Sure glad I upgraded from a 4th Gen iPod Touch to this iPod 5th Gen that I cannot get recognized in iTunes. Jeez - for as much money as people pay for these products, it sure would be nice if they worked propelry...

  • HT201401 have you ever had a problem with a foggy lens - blurry pictures?

  • Have you ever had your iphone 3G S lock up and not even let you turn it off to reboot it?

    The screen locked up while on pandora radio then it just blacked out and powered off.  The battery was at 95% when it happened. I plugged the AC adapter in and powered it back on. It opened up to my back screen and the locked screen mode where it would not respond to touch. I took all the screen covers off and wipped it down and still no response to my touch. I then tried to reboot or power it off and neither has worked.  I got on here and gave tech support my number to call me and the 800 number came up but it would not allow me to receive the call and it didnt ring.  I guess i will just wait for the battery to drain down and power it off.  I hope that unlocks it when i power it back on.

    I was warned and I went straight to the site and they were gone.  I didnt was any time. Either way, there should be a way to either store or restore such items. Have you ever lost pictures that were so important to you that you couldnt sleep or eat for some time. I have and it wasnt fun. I'm glad that you were able to get yours unlike some of us.

    I am still wondering why iTunes tries to confuse me every time I try to make changes in my preferences, telling me that I "don't have enough permissions", although I am the administrator.
    That's clearly a fault. Whether it's an iTunes problem or a Windows problem I can't say at this time. If you search the Using iTunes for Windows forum for "permissions", you should find threads that can help you sort out this problem.
    Then, changes to the format are not obvious, and I get no notice that I am burning music files as data.
    If you click on a playlist and look at the lower-right of the iTunes window, it says right there what format it will use to burn the playlist.

  • Change u201CDefault for baseline dateu201D programming. Have you ever do it?

    Hello colleagues,
    I want to pay to my vendors with the u201CBase line dateu201D equal to the entry date of the treated document.
    For this reason I set several payment-terms with u201CDefault for baseline dateu201D = u201CEntry dateu201D.
    This ran perfectly in FI transactions (fb01, fb05, ...), but the result was wrong with MIRO. I posted a Note to SAP and I was replied with the typical u201CThis is the standard behavior and you would need consulting service for your need.u201D
    Then I decided to change the u201CDefault for baseline dateu201D to u201CNo defaultu201D in these payment-terms, in order to set the value I want with programming. But I have a lot of problems because apparently there isnu2019t a unique point to change in order to get the desired behavior. There are a lot, and in each t-code the called function is different. Have you faced up to a similar case? How did you solve it?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Have you ever needed dynamically evaluated Java?

    It seems every day or so someone asks how to evaluate/execute a piece of Java contained in a String, or evaluate a mathematical expression in a String. I've never needed this, so I'm curious - other than for academic purposes, who has ever needed to do this, and why?

    I am sure I have never needed to do that. A language commonly used where I work is IDL (Interactive Data Language, not Interface Definition Language). Since IDL is interpreted, executing or evaluating an expression in a string is easy. Because of this, a lot of the files used to describe our data products had little chunks of IDL code in them. We are in the process of replacing the IDL system with a Java system, so we had to support parsing IDL expressions in Java. The users of our system are mostly scientists and for them it is much easier to put "sqrt(3.0)/2.0" in a configuration file than it is to use "0.866025". Plus, sqrt(3.0)/2.0 is somewhat self-documenting so they would probably whine and cry and complain (as they often do) if we tell them they have to calculate out all the values they use in the configuration files.
    Outside of a mathematical context, I have never needed to be able to parse expressions, and I have never needed to be able to parse Java expressions specifically. We are supporting javascript code in our gui interface specification files (XML) to allow for custom event code, but we use rhino for that (GO RHINO!).

  • Have you ever done an unclaimed property search?

    Each state treasurer's office has an online searchable database, where you can search for unclaimed property in your name. My friend posted on Facebook this morning, showing his $750 find in unclaimed property. I decided to check the treasurer's office in the two states I've lived in, and found a couple things. I have $20 in unclaimed property in Colorado, and my mom has $318 in unclaimed property in Nevada   Most of this comes from refunds and wages you're owed, but might have forgotten. My mom left her job and never cashed her last paycheck. Mine is a refund from an ISP I had when I lived in Colorado.  

    Funny but today I did much a search and found I'm owed money from when I lived in Maryland. I know it's + $100. I think it is my old security deposit from 2009.Show me the money. I even sent a friend info that he is owed money after checking a few friends names.
