MBP+DVDSP4 Problems

I'm using DVDSP4 on the MBP listed below. It's my first time using it on this computer and I keep geting a Internal Muxer Error everytime I try to build the project or build and format it. I did a search for the error on the forum already and I found about four things that could cause the problem:
1. transfer Problems between a firewire drive and burner
2. MPEG encoding itself
3. In and Out points on a motions menu
4. Chapter markers in a place that the GOP doesn't like
I trouble shooted all of these and I keep getting the error. I also tried to build the project on my friends iBook and the G5's my school has. I've also completely rebuilt my project from scratch. Since the same issue is occuring on all these computers I think it might be an issue with the MBP hardware in general. I was just curious if anyone else has had a problem, or if anyone knew of a way to solve the Internal Mutter Error in general?

Since the same issue is occuring on all these computers I think it might be an issue with the MBP hardware in general
Not sure why because if all the computers cannot build it, sounds like it is not MBP unless related to making the assets
Couple of things to check, is there more than one video on a track not butted together? That can cause the issue. Something else to check quickly, change motion menus so not loops, in/out/length to 0 and remove all audio, or make sure the end point is the length of the audio if there is one on the menu. Also delete all MPEG/PAR files.
Are you watching the log when it builds? Does the app crash or do you see something then the error in the log? That can help track it down.

New MBP wireless problems

Hi all, im sure you are all sick of reading the same problems time after time. Anyway, mine is as follows..
Got my new Mac around 1 month ago, love it. My old 17 mbp always sat at my desk and i usually run a wired connection to the internet. Now after i bought my new 15 mbp i bought a time capsule, great i thouht. Spent 4 days trying to set it up to no joy. It was being seen by 3 windows laptops, 2 iphones and 1 touch, but when i tried connecting via my mbp it kept saying connection time out. I tried it without a password and it would show i was connected with an "all black airport icon" but still would not go online.
Hence i brought it back and continued to use it wired to the internet from Netgear router. Now my girlfriend bought me an Airport Express. Brillant i thought, maybe this will work. Set it up to create a new wireless network from my router (im in a different building 40ft away) so i could turn my music studio wireless, have airtunes etc.
But of course NO! My iphone can see it and use the wireless network, but not my £1800 mbp! Sometimes it scans and does not even see the network. And if it does, it tries to connect and fails.
My brother who is a wiz at these things tried for 2 hours yesterday.His Sony pc connected ok, my iphone and again ipod touch, but still no from the MBP.
So i brought it into the house where the Netgear router is running and my MBP can connect no problems.
Is there something im missing?? Why can i not have the simpliest of things in the form of wireless internet?
Any help would be great, if you need more detail etc, ill be happy to go into detail!

I found the solution after many many many attemps.
It's not a MBP problem, it's your wireless router.
1- Set your BEACON between 20 and 50. D-LINK router for example use 100 has default value. It's too long.
2- Change your channel. D-link default is 6. Use whatever channel. I use 10.
Hope you enjoy!

10.7.3 MBP Wifi Problem - Endless Timeouts & Dropped connections

I've been reading around here a bit already and so I know many other people are having Wifi issues with Lion, but given that there are so many discussions and so many pages of talk, it's hard to go through it all, and using the search I haven't found anything that's quite similar to what I'm experiencing, so I'm starting a new topic...
Basically, I've got a late 2006 MacBook Pro, installed 10.7.1 (form 10.6.8) on in back in Aug 2011 and everything seemed to be fine. I updated to 10.7.2 sometime in Jan and still didn't notice any issues, but wasn't using Wifi at all at the time.
Then in Feb I moved and started using wifi (with a Cisco N router), and noticed that often, the system would not automatically reconnect to the network after waking up from sleep. Just selecting the network manually worked on the first try every time though, so it wasn't so bad.
At the end of April, I finally got around to installing the 10.7.3 update. I read it was supposed to fix wifi issues and so was looking forward to it. It installed fine and didn't seem to cause any problems...
2 days later I moved again (to India), and all **** broke loose... Now, I can rarely connect to wifi (a Beetel G router, configed with WPA). Around 25% of the time, the network won't show up in the list (despite being a clear 5ft from the base station), and when it does show up, 95% of the time I get a "connection timeout" error - often immeadiately, but sometimes it takes about 10sec to respond. On the same network, 2 Win 7 Dells and an iPad 1 all work flawlessly - it's not the router...
One the occasions that I am able to connect, it usually works fine, but if I put the computer to sleep and wake up again, there's no guarentee that the connection will work again - it's back to the lottery. And sometimes even when it's connected, the wifi stays (according to the menu indicator) but the internet connection disappears (to the point I can't even ping the router - 100% packet loss, let alone any internet server)
I've tried zapping everything I can think of (PRAM, SMC), repairing permissions, clearing the remembered networks from the System Prefs, deleting old Locations and creating new ones etc. I have a clean install of 10.7.1 that I booted off of, but it still had the same issues!

I'm pretty savy with computers and have dealt with all kinds of stuff before, but this one is beyond me, and is really annoying! I konw my machine is old, but it was totally useable up until these Wifi issues, and now wifi is basically useless.
From what I've read, it seems like its a driver issue with the Atheros card in my machine, but most people seem to be complaining about dropped connections (mine rarely drops) rather than timeout connection issues. I've also never had the "hardware not found" issue that many people have, so I think this is something different.
Anyone out there have any advice? I'm getting close to losing it with wifi since the update!

Sorry - to add:
I don't think it's a question of WPA vs. WPA2, or even channel number - I have 2 identical routers here and neither work (both default to WPA Ch 11) but I changed one to WPA2, new SSID, various channels and still had the same problems.
Another thing to note that should be irrelevant, but who knows: the Firewire controller on my machine died back in Fall 2010 - to the point where the system won't start-up unless I remove the IOFirewire***.kext from /System/Library/Extensions , and as soon as I do that, it works flawlessly (minus Firewire). It meant I had a **** of a time installing Lion becuase I can't boot off the Recovery Partition (which has the drivers baked into it), but by cloneing my HD, installing Lion onto the clone via a borrowed machine, removing the .kext's and cloning back, I got it on and everything seems to be fine otherwise... I posted about that problem before, but never got any answers. And it wasn't just me, my father has a late 2007 MBP and the same firewire issue happened to his within 5 days of mine (not a power spike - I think it was shortly after some system update if I remember correctly).

For all users of the newest MBPs - freezing problem

I spent the whole last week trying to detect the problem of the freezing OS (every N minutes, a freeze for 20-30 sec).
If you're experiencing the same issue, don't waste your time uninstalling 'suspicious' software like I did… this helps. Really:

Downgrading the EFI 1.7 (preinstalled or installed with Software Update) to EFI 1.6 solves the problem. No more freezing. The update procedure seemed a bit risky to me but well, it worked (you can use an USB stick, I used my external USB hard drive)
My tech specs: MacBookPro5,4, 2,53 GHz, 4GB RAM, HDD - Hitachi HTS545025B9SA02, OS 10.6.1
One more thing: in case of other strange problems, try uninstalling Logitech mouse drivers if you've got those. That one solved my coreservicesd crashing problems. I'm waiting for the incoming update of Logitech.

yes, I did. I spent at least 8 hours searching for a solution here, in the forums and tried everything making sense... The EFI downgrade was the only thing that helped.
My personal opinion is: Apple should offer the EFI downgrade option to all users in an official way. It looks like my favorite vendor does not want to admit they made a hardware+software mistake (the EFI 1.7 update solves some HDD issues on some new MBPs but causes other problems on other MBPs).

Late 2013 13"MBP-Shutdown Problem

I was having shutdown problems with my Late 2013 MBP 13"-the MBP would go to the gray screen and the small pinwheel would progress to different hash marks every 3-5 seconds, the machine would not shutdown at all, it was stalled, so I called Apple and we trouble shot. During our troubleshooting adventure it dawned on me that the problem could be related to my Antivirus Software-Intego. So I went ahead and disabled the real-time scanner and...viola, it shutdown with no problem. So I am letting people know that as of currently, Intego's real time scanner could cause issues during shutdown. I placed it on a scheduled scan and placed everything else on; no issues now.
So my only question would be; I have the same antivirus software on my early 2012 15" MBP with no issues. Though, I do remember having very slow shutdowns for sometime and then it seemed to resolve itself. The major difference in these two machines appears to be, besides the retina displays, the mechanical HDD vs SSD. My 15" (early 2012) has two Mech. HDD while the new 13" has of course SSD. I am thinking the antivirus software isn't handling the SSD appropriately.
Any-how, I just wanted to give a quick (though detailed) heads up.

OK, I messed around with this issue over the weekend. Here's what I did:
1. Used iPad 3 until I have run battery down to about 50%
2. Plug in to left USB port on Late 2013 rMBP. Battery icon starts displaying "flip-flop" behavior.
3. Replug into right side USB....no problem, all behaving well.
4. Tried plugging in my iPhone 4s into same cable on left USB port, no problem.
5. Replug iPhone into right side USB....again no problem, all behaving well.
Here's where it got interesting:
6. Exchange charging cable for a newer cable with the smaller-sized 30-pin dock connector.
7. Plug iPad into left USB port...and viola! Battery charging icon is steady...no "flip-flop"!
8. Replug into right side USB....no problem there either, all seems normal.
I have no idea what's going on, but this seemed to have solved prolem. BTW, the older cable, when plugged into wall charger, charges the iPad just fine.
Hope this helps someone else with this problem.

'09 MBP "Crash" problem triggered by Panic! Transmit

So, I'm having a problem with my MBP that's been driving me crazy for ages. It's trigged by Panic! Transmit but they have been unable to help me resolve the problem, so I turn to you.
Order of Operations.
1. System is operating perfectly.
2. I launch Panic! Transmit. (No problem)
3. I connect to a remote drive (S3/FTP/cloud) in the program. (No Problem)
4. I ask Panic! Transmit to MOUNT the remote connection as a drive. (The drive gets mounted BUT my mouse has suddenly become choppy. i.e. I move it and it skips around jumping. Very rough movement.)
5. I unmount drive (Nothing changes)
6. I close Panic! Transmit (Nothing changes)
7. I reboot
8. Login screen shows up ... I click my User Name and Log in.
9. The system auto-restarts before entering OS. (I never see the desktop)
10. Login screen shows up AGAIN ... I click my User Name and Log in
11. Now the OS tries to launch my login items ... it hangs for 10-20 seconds... nothing is being lauched. Something triggers and boom, it resets back to some backup state and starts to launch OLD login items that have long since been removed. It is also now re-indexing my hard drive in Finder.
12. I go and change all of the login items back to what their supposed to be and continue going about my business.
Questions!
1. What file/operation is being corrupted such that my login items are being reset to some historical state?
2. What can Mounting a drive be doing in the OS that causes the mouse to become super unresponsive?
Any help is appreciated, I bought Transmit and I loved using it, but it's more or less a waste of HD space as of right now and I wish I had an alternative to work with.

Did you find a cure for this? I have a similar problem on a macbook mini. Using Mountain Lion and panic transmit 4....

Photoshop CS2 layered menu compressed by DVDSP4 problems....

Oh wise ones,
I've made a layered menus in PS CS2.. i have also imported them into After Effects 7 to make transitional clips (through the colour white) between the different menus. The problem i have is that DVDSP4 compresses the video and the PS file differently. So that they don't match exactly when the videos run into the layerd menus. The compression has lost it's sharpness in the layered menu but it's perfect in the video clip. :-$
I have changed the encoding settings to max in DVDSP4 with no joy. Any ideas on how to matchup the same file in the video and layered menus?
thanks in advance...

unfortunately the design doesn't allow for standard menus at present.. although i like the concept of a still frame as a video in the background. The problem seems to be that the text (flattened) in the layered files (I'm using 18 pt Eurostile) ends up being compressed and missing some of the font.
I have tried different fonts and sizes up to 20pt. But still the problem exists.
The PSD has to be 8 bit.... text objects aren't allowed in layered menus nor are text with the buttons... i've run out of ideas :-$

DVDSP4 problem-getting no help

I have DVD Studio Pro 4 on a G4 1.25 with 2 gigs of ram.
My problem is I can't get my buttons to highlight to save my life. I looked thru the forum answer data base for answers and all I got were tutorials of various lengths and quality.
I create my buttons by dragging a rectangle onto the menu and go from there. All of the coloring menus seem ok. They just will not highlight.
I have done everything I can think of that might affect the problem and no go. I even trashed the plist file thinking my preferences could somehow affect the problem.
Do I need to reinstall? How can I fix this?
This is what I've gotten so far in the DVDSP4 forum. No help at all from Creative Cow.
response: Take a look at these to see the steps

How do I post my project?
I have tried creating a button in PhotoShop and I can't get it to import into my project. What gives?
I have spent about seven hours trying to solve this and it is maddening.

Hi:
Try downloading this small BUTTONS/OVERLAY demo project I made for other user of these forums. You can get an idea of what are you doing wrong.
Hope that helps !
Alberto
I know everyone means well here, but I'm not getting information to address my problem.
PLEASE HELP

Yes you are absolutely correct in awarding the points for a solved problem.
I have spent hours, days trying to figure out what was happening in a program I am reasonably comfortable in, but don't use as often as I would like. So I had forgotten small things I have learned in previous projects. Very frustrating.
I find it annoying that people respond to a post without fully reading or understanding what I or other people write about there issue. Even with the best of intentions. When someone does take their valuable time and do pay attention, it really pays off.
I spent hours looking thru the forums search pages and digging thru printed manuals and the PDF files of the application manual looking for something that 'might' apply.
It seems that most of the time the problem is some small item you have simply forgotten or is a minor change in the application.
I do appreciate the help and no good deed should go unrewarded.

MBP BOOT PROBLEM AFTER XP BLUE SCREEN!!

I was installing something in windows xp using boot camp and suddenly got the blue screen of death and the computer reset. Now, when I try to boot into Mac OS X the grey apple logo shows plus the spinning gray wheel under it and just sits at that. The MBP gets hotter and hotter because I can hear the fan getting louder and louder. I am close to freaking out because this is the third apple notebook I have had problems with. I returned a Macbook and a MacBook Pro already for problems. I should tell you that I left the MBP on sleep overnight and when I opened the display this morning I got a message telling me to hold the power button to shut down the computer. It showed it in different languages so I guess it was a kernel panic. Has anyone had this issue before? I have tried resetting the PMU and the PRAM but no luck. Please help me as I don't know what to do anymore!

I simply reinstalled OSX

MBP having problems with one particular wireless network

My MBP keeps dropping the wireless connection (or failing to find it in the first place) at one particular house. Unfortunately it's a house where I stay a lot. It tells me I'm not connected to the internet and times out any attempted connections. Sometimes it will connect for between 5 minutes and an hour, but then it loses connection again.
When it loses connection the other devices in the house (a Blackberry, iphone and someone elses Mac) all stay connected with no problem. I have never had problems in any other house or with any other connection.
The wireless has a WAP (or WAP 2) password. I have tried resetting and rebooting the modem, the router and the access point, getting Airport to learn or not learn the network, turning airport off and on and all the other usual options (for a clueless muppet like me) and sometimes I can connect again, sometimes not, but the connection is never permanent.
Any ideas please? Thanks very much
I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.7 if that is relevant

Sorry for being so clueless but I'm not sure of the answer to the first two questions. How do I find out?
There is nothing in my network preferences about protocol, but under "About this Mac" I found the following:
Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n
There is nothing else nearby competing for radio frequencies - just the other devices mentioned all using the smae wireless signal.
Thanks so much for your help, and sorry that all the technical terms are so lost on me!

MBP Keyboard Problems

Hi All,
I got my MBP a few months ago and for the most part it has been great. The one problem that I have though has been pretty annoying. For what seems like no reason, the keys in the 4 R F V line seem to work intermittently. I will be typing and everything will be fine, then any time I hit those keys, the letter will either not show up, or be replaced by others in the same row.
For example, I was typing an IM and all of a sudden instead of saying "great", I got gQWEUIeat.
It's not like that all the time, so I have no idea what can be causing it. I reformatted it and that seemed to help for a while, but the problem has been popping up again. I haven't installed any strange software or anything, and I figure if it was a hardware problem, it wouldn't come and go. I have never dropped or damaged the computer in any way. A friend suggested that I get a can of air and try to blast the keys in case there is something in there. I'll try it and hope it works, but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar problem? And if you have, what did you do to correct it?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Hardware problems can be intermittent, so it could actually be a hardware problem. If it does this consistently enough that you could show it to a genius, it would be worth a trip to the Apple Store. Since these keys are on a diagonal line, there could well be some sort of problem with the keyboard matrix.
If this is a hardware problem, it may come and go, but it won't ever go away by itself and will likely get worse over time. Be sure to get it evaluated while you are still under warranty.
Good luck!

Mbp install problems

hello I have an Mbp using a USB keyboard. and the other day I heard the cd drive make a grinding noise. I am trying to boot from a cd by holding down c on the USB keyboard,however all I get is a folder icon with a question mark on it.could this be related to the drive?or is it be ause I'm using an external keyboard
what other options do I have to boot?
any help would be greatly apreciated

Are you sure the grinding noise was from the optical drive and not the harddrive?
I would unplug the USB keyboard and see if you can boot into the safe mode, hold down shift key on boot.
The general rule when a system has a problem is to unplug all peripherals.
If that does not work, try booting from the Leopard disk again, but using the built-in Keyboard, holding down the "C" and see if that works.
If you cannot boot at all, then you may have a hardware failure (logic board, etc., )
As a last resort, you can try resetting PRAM
Shut down your computer. Turn the computer back on and immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R, continuing to press until you hear the startup sound for the second time. This resets the computer’s parameter random-access memory (PRAM).
IMPORTANT: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

MBP Ram Problems

hello -
i was wondering if anyone had run into any problems with their aftermarket ram with the mbp. i just got my 1.83 and was going to purchase some ram soon (2x 1gig @ crucial). but, with reading all the things going wrong with peoples' mbps i just wondered if anyone had any issues brought on by their aftermarket ram.
any responses/issues would be appreciated.
also, not to beat any deceased horses, but i am really confused about dual channel memory. if i by 2 sticks of 1g ram from crucial, will it be dual channel? what if i buy 1 stick from crucial and the other from kingston? is that still dual channel or do they have to be exactly the same?
sorry, i am ignorant about this.
this is posted in the general discussion section too.

I ordered a stick of RAM for my MPB and it caused problems with my system. I'm pretty sure it was just a bad stick so I am sending it back for a replacement. When I installed the stick it cause random rebooting and failed the Apple Hardware test.
The stick was a Corsair value stick from newegg. Hopefully the replacement stick will work fine. I've ordered lots of RAM for different systems in the past and handled them exactly the same, I just think that this time it was an unlucky stick.
Other than my poor luck, installing the RAM is easy and you shouldn't really worry about it if you can operate a screw driver.

So what about now ? C2D mbp wifi problems

So now a lot of people had posted their wifi connection problem with the brand new C2D mbp, and many of you had called apple support and still have not solved the problem.
Now C2D MB is out, what should we do ? is there any official reply from Apple regarding this issue ? or should us just go out to buy a brand new wifi router just for this laptop ?
Interestingly, there are 5 unprotected wifi router in my neighborhood, I tried them one by one, the only one that I could successfully connect was made by D-Link, and the pre-N card in C2D MBP was made by the same company too, does this imply something ?
Truely, I just wanna know Apple is working on this and there will be a solution/update/fix/patch in the not-so-far future.

There is lots of speculation to the reason for the poor wifi signals and connectivity and no true answers.
Many attribute it to routers, hardware, software, or encryption.
Regardless, for CD or C2D it has become a nuisance and I trust that apple is/has been working on it.
You need to take your problem on an individual basis though. I would suggest calling applecare or bringing your computer to an apple store. If calling applecare try to confess that you tried all the "stupid" things that solve wireless problems... like turning on your wireless!

MBP processor problems

2.33GHZ Macbook Pro, 2gigs of ram, 120gb HD, no bootcamp, no windows, microsoft office installed.
sometimes when i am on my mbp (both battery and AC) for a couple of hours or so, the processor usage suddenly goes up to 99% and stays there, regardless of what apps i have open, or if i quit them. I can leave my mac with nothing running, and it'll still say the processor usage is 99%. This causes the mbp to get very hot and the fans come on full blast, only when i reboot it does the processor usage go back down to what it should be, and the fans die off.
what do you guys think the problem is? is something running in the background that i should know about? my first suspect was the anti-virus (Norton), but i've realized that even when i run a virus scan, the processor usage never goes above 60% or so, therefore why would it go up to 99% sometimes? and why cant i see it scanning?
My second suspect is maybe i have a virus or something, but i doubt that.
Also, usually when I have nothing running on my mac, the processor idle usage is around 25 - 30%. My 24inch iMac C2D falls down to around 5%, but it doesnt have any antivirus software. Therefore i assumed that the real-time protection that is enabled on my mbp's antivirus might be contributing to this, but even when i turn it off, nothing changes.
please help!

That may be possible. When I used it for a short time, I never let it run in the background, I always set it to scanning when nothing else was running.
While it may not really be necessary on a Mac, I run ClamX Av - a free open source AV program. You can look at it here.
