Not using multiple processors... and taking FOREVER

First off i have a love/hate relationship with compressor / qmaster
Here is what i am getting now... I hope someone can help
When i submit a batch to the Cluster (6 instances) it is no longer splitting the job out. It instantly goes to 10% completed and then just CRALWS along. It took it 14 hours to compress a 20 min Uncompressed 1080 24p movie to H.264 720 24p movie.
This is a fresh install of Snow Leopard, FCS and all drivers.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled compressor two times.
I have removed ram / changed ram.
I have removed all cards in the computer
any ideas?

Do you have the option "Allow Job Segmenting" checked on your setting? Also, in your project, are you POSITIVE you didn't make any minor (accidental) scale or position changes in the motion tab? It doesn't matter how much of a change. If you make even a little change it adds considerable time to your encode. I often see people who work in wireframe mode make small changes to the centering of the clip without even knowing it. If you go into the motion tab make sure every clip has a center of 0-0, unless you intentionally want the change, in which case you just have to eat the render time.

Using multiple processors and threads

Hi there,
Just a quick question... I am working on an application that is VERY processor intensive. There is no real way to improve this, but I do have access to a multiple processor server.
Can anyone tell me if Java code can be written to utilise more than one processor? I assume due to the VM, that this is unlikely - and that one must resort to the operating system used on the server, where hopefully the VM can be forced to use more than one processor.
If this is not possible - has anyone written applications that run across several VMs? Is this possible, and what is the performance like?
Thanks for any help.
Nick

The Java VM will indeed utilize multiple processors. Just create a seperate thread to do your work and it will schedule it. In fact it's way easier than most languages:
public class MyThreadimplements Runnable {
public MyThread() {
try {
Thread newThread= new Thread(this);
newThread.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY); // see other enumerations to boost priority
newThread.start();
} catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
public void run() {
// do your work here
}

AE CS5 not using all memory and cpu

I am using After Effects CS5, wondering why the rendering is not using my CPU and memory full. It`s using only 15 % of memory and sometimes up to 50 % of CPU. What can I do to make it use better my hardware.
The current rendering is chroma key using Keylight.
I understand it can`t use all the hardware, but why only 15 %, because everybody is talking that you need a lot of RAM for AE.
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 - overclocked to 3.4 GHz
MEMORY: 6 GB DDR3
GRAPHIC: nVidia GTX 285

Not all rendering operations will max out all RAM and all CPUs (processor cores). Some rendering operations are I/O intensive; some are memory-intensive; some are CPU-intensive. If, for example, I/O is the bottleneck, then you won't see either CPU or RAM usage maxed.
Also, the goal isn't to see that 100% of the CPU and 100% of of RAM is being used. The goal is faster rendering (and other operations). Sometimes greatest performance is achieved when there's "headroom" left over for other activity. See this page.
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? That is one feature that really benefits from having a lot of RAM. The 6GB of RAM that you have in your system is not enough to make effective use of that feature. See this page.
Here's a page that collects information about how to optimize for performance.

Do not use multiple devices for BT email

I have been advised by the Yahoo email support team that my account is being locked every few hours because I use multiple devices and the server sees multiple requests to 'sync' email from one account onto several devices as malicious activity. I use outlook on three PCs (a desktop and a couple of laptops) and the default email client on a stock Android.
The advice I've been asked to follow is to ensure I close outlook (on which I view several email accounts) every time I walk away from my desk and then enable email sync on my phone. On return to my desk I should reverse the process. I'll do this in the short term as it will take a few days to switch from BT email to another provider but this is not sustainable.
I find it hard to believe that the btinternet system isn't robust enough to accept single user/multiple device scenarios. The problem has only manifested this week so I suspect it will be due to a change in system protocol/software as I have had a few years of trouble free multiple device access until this point.
I'm interested in other peoples' experience of this as it's the only email service I use which has exhibited this issue in recent years.
Solved!

There are several reasons why you get password rejected messages however based on the information you have supplied I have the following observations and advice.
1. The failure message incorrect in that your username and password is likely to be correct but is being rejected for another reason.
2. The most likely cause is some form of timeout.
3. Providing you have a reasonably fast connection the timeout is likely to be because your account is being accessed by two or more of your devices at the same time.
4. To stop this happening you need to do the following.
a) Do not use webmail unless you have to.
b) If you do use webmail make sure that you sign out when finished.
c) Make sure that all your devices do not check for emails automatically but require manual intervention.
Not sure this is strictly necessary, unlikely devices will be polling simultaneously.
d) Use POP instead of IMAP in email clients.
e) Make sure smartphones and tablets have Email accounts Push "off "and Fetch data "manually".
Not sure this is strictly necessary, unlikely devices will be polling simultaneously. Agree with Push 'off'

Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.
* If the above steps didn't help then see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf

"you can not use multiple instance of Program at the same time"

Hello @ all,
I have a Problem, after the installing from Acrobat Testversion and acrobat reader in version in "all Combination" 8 an 9.
I get this misstake information "you can not use multiple instance of Program at the same time" if I want open more then 1 .pdf.
If I have no pdf open, but acrobat/reader so i can´t open with the same Misstake.
I have deinstalled and installed, Allways I bekame the same information. I tryed all things to clean and know i don`t know forward.
Important: by Drag an Drop in the Acrobat Reader it is going, but by direct click on the pdf i get mistake.
Maybe, you know what I can do!
Thanks for help!

Installation of both Acrobat and Reader in the same Windows machine is not advisable. If I were you, I would remove both completely and then reinstall the one you want to keep.

Thanks for your reply.

I do agree that should not have to be a consideration for any users so i agree that it would be great if Apple could allow simplicity to run seemlessly.
I have had this problem since Homepage, and here is
what has worked for me. I send out the link, and
then for PC users I send the link with "<" after the address (without quotation
marks. e.g., <http://site.com>).
I also put a note that if that doesn't work, to just
copy and paste the link into a browser. With that I
have only had 1 person say they still can't open.
Everyone else gets it to work.
It's a lot to do and seems like a hassle, but you get
used to it.
Hope this helps!

Apps are tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them and you will always need to use that ID and password in order to update them.
Saying that you do get to update them on your new details makes no sense at all.

It sounds like you are trying to create a new icloud account, not just logging into an existing account. When you type in your Apple ID and get that error, it's because you are trying to create an account using the same ID that is already being used in another account.
Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen. If you are logged in, press the Delete button, then try logging in with the existing ID.
As for pics, the most secure way is to connect ipod to PC with USB and look at the Photos tab for your device in iTunes. Using Photo Stream is another way, but it doesn't always work, depending on conditions.
