Having difficulty starting a Compressor job using a cluster

The batch monitor will error out- something having to do with timing out before Qmaster can open it's storage area on the host machine (not sure if that makes sense). Anyway, the cluster i created, has 2 service nodes, both with Final Cut, and DVDSP4 installed. I've never been able to submit a job to the cluster. It will always error out.

Are you submitting directly from Final Cut using "Export to Compressor"? Are you using a quickcluster, or a managed cluster? Do you see your nodes in Qadministrator? Do you have shared storage? If not did you turn on "Personal File Sharing" in system preferences and enable applesharing in network prefs on both machines. Did you disable the firewall?
I'm not in front of my computers, but there is a setting in the Compressor settings that allows you to change "Always copy files to cluster storage", "Never", etc Try changing that to always. I really don't know if it will help, but it got me hung up on my setup for ahwhile. Did you change the cluster storage in sys prefs on either machine? (You shouldn't) Also try resetting the nodes by stopping the services on them, then holding option-apple and click reset.
Finally, see if you can post the exact error that you are receiving. There is a log file somewhere in "/var/log" that might help to narrow down the problem.
I use NFS with a Managed cluster, but if you are using Appleshare I think you should be able to go to the Go->Connect to Server from finder and connect to your machine by typing in the IP address or hostname.
There's some ideas to get you started.

Why is my iMac clicking and having difficulty starting up?

In the past 2 weeks, my iMac has been making odd clicking noises when starting up and when waking from sleep. The motor drones to start up (accompanied by the clicking), will fail, and it will try starting again. It usually requires restart when I'm coming back from sleep. During start up, a folder icon with a question mark will flash. I have to restart around 10 times until the computer starts up normally (still with some clicking).
During use, the computer functions normally, although in the past day my computer will freeze my clicking power on my mouse. That is to say, my mouse can move around the screen, but clicking does nothing. This lasts about 2 minutes, and then my mouse works fine. Don't know if the problem is related.
Disk utility is not allowing me the option of "Repair Disk." When I verify disk with disk utility it reads:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
Checking volume information.
Invalid volume free block count
(It should be 10795540 instead of 10795539)
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Can anyone help?

Hi and Welcome!
*"During start up, a folder icon with a question mark will flash."*
Go here: A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Hopefully booting from your install disk you can repair the disk using the Disk Utility app. If DU can't repair the disk the first time, click Repair again. Sometimes it takes a 2nd or 3rd pass. If DU cannot resolve the problem, then you need DiskWarrior or TechToolPro

Difficulty starting from Tiger DVD on new hard drive for installation

I recently replaced the hard drive on my flatscreen iMac. I am having difficulty starting from the Tiger DVD to install the system software. The disk drive does have DVD-R capabilities, but is not a super drive. I hold down the "c" button as I start up with the Tiger DVD, but the screen appears the same way as it would if nothing were in the disk drive (grey with alternating smiley/"?" folder). I attempted to boot with my old 10.2 system CD, and was again unsuccessful as the CD ejected after a few more hopeful noises from inside the console and returned to my previously mentioned grey screen.
I also attempted to start while holding the option key which produced an uneventful blue screen with 2 arrow buttons that did nothing when I clicked them.
Keyboard and mouse are both working.

Changing your startup disk
You can make your computer start up from a CD, a network volume, a different disk or disk partition, or another operating system (such as Mac OS 9 if your computer supports it). To do so, you change your startup disk.
Open System Preferences and click Startup Disk.
If necessary, click the lock icon and type the name and password for an administrator user.
Click the icon of the system folder or system volume that you want to use, then click Restart.
IMPORTANT: When selecting a network startup volume, be sure you select a valid network startup volume and not a network install image. Choosing a network install image reinstalls your system software and may erase the contents of your hard disk. A standard network volume icon appears as a globe and Mac OS X system folder. When you select a network volume icon, a message appears in the Startup pane describing the volume. A network install icon appears as a globe with downward pointing green arrow.
Another way to select a startup disk is to hold down the Option key as you restart your computer. You'll see the available startup disks and can select one.
If your computer is on a network and a network startup volume is available, you can start up from the network startup volume by holding down the N key as you restart your computer.
If you start up your computer in Mac OS 9, use the Startup Disk control panel in the Apple menu to switch back to your Mac OS X startup disk. Then restart the computer.
If Mac OS 9 is not available, your computer will only start up in Mac OS X. You can still use most Mac OS 9 applications in the Classic environment. To do this, open System Preferences, click Classic, and then click Start.

I am having difficulty downloading tunes from iCloud to my PC. I am getting an error message 5000 'not enough access privileges' I have checked and seem to have full access. Help appreciated!

I am having difficulty downloading purchased tunes in iCloud to my PC. I get error code 5000 and a message "not enough access priviledges" I have checked this out and seem to have full rights. I could download tunes before they put them on iCloud. Any help appreciated.

This refers to permissions on your computer which must have been changed. Start by using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then do the following:
Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.

TS1398 Since upgrading to ios6, all apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device. It's an ios

Since upgrading to ios6, all the family's apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device and we have to reconnect through settings. This appears to be an ios6 software issue.
Is there a solution to this wifi connection issue or do we wait for a software fix?
I'd hate to think Apple is going down the Microsoft path, of passing untested software onto the user. What ever happened to Regression Testing, to ensure the existing functionality remains intact?
I bought into the Apple dream, because it was intuitive, reliable & enjoyable to use, all the things that Microsoft windows isn't.
Other issues we are experiencing are, Games are stuttering and the kids really miss the old YouTube app.
Please Mr Browett, sort these issues out.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

Having problem with iMessage

Hi,
I seem to be having an ongoing problem with my iMessage! First started last week when everybody was having problems with iMessage, however mine is doing it again tonight! My iMessage has been fine all day but stopped working this evening and I've tried restarting phone and iPad but not worked. I've turned iMessage off and now it won't let me activate it, says my apple ID is incorrect - which I've used it else where and its fine. It's not just my phone - same problem on iPad! Any suggestions?? Thanks

This is because the storm. At the same time one of our corporate network providers went down that's based on the East Coast.
Again the outage is known to have been caused by storm and internet intermittent issues on the East Coast.

Is any one else having issues with iMessages since iOS7?

Since iOS7 I have been having issues with iMessages. They just stop sending and I have to re-start my iPhone or iPad to get these working again. This is happening to my friends as well on different networks but all on iOS7.
Is any one else having this issue?

They had the same issue with ios 4 when it came out and it was resolved with 4.0.1. Before I start the endless visits to noisy Apple stores, I'm hoping they will issue a fix for this and all the other bugs that are popping up.
Hopefully if enough people bring it up it'll get noticed.
Thanks,

First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac. Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up. Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread. It should work after performing those steps. Good luck!

I've had several problems with Access on W7, mostly me not being able to select it as all. What i'd start with (unless you really need to file mobility) is to install a SQL Server (express) and import the data there. Set up a .udl pointing to the server (which'd be the same for 7.1 and 2010) and then try.
If it still doesn't work you probably have some Race condition in your old code that has risen with the recompile. Do the old code have lots of local variables?
I avoid the obvious "do you have database connectivity installed on the 2010 machine as i assume you do".

Lost iPhone,having difficulty accessing iTunes account

Lost iPhone,having difficulty accessing iTunes account

The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
2) The culprit is Norton. Go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.)
3) Close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those files with the default settings. You can change them back later.
