QuickCluster keeps vanishing with Compressor 4 and none of the solutions work, even booting from a clean system disk

I have a 2009 8-core MacPro with 16gb of RAM. QuickCluster started to disappear about three months ago. Apple support suggested that I log in as a new user and that worked for a while but the QuickCluster disappeared again. I decided to create a new system boot disk with nothing but 10.7.3 and FCPX and Compressor on it, nothing from my previous user settings. That worked for about two weeks and then the QuickCluster disappear as well. I updated Compressor last week and remarkably the QuickCluster returned....until today. Now I am back to using Adobe Media Encoder for fast encodes and I am not happy. Sure it's fast but Compressor is a much better program.
Before you suggest it: I have used Compressor remover, and Compressor fix from Digital Rebellion - no change. I have trashed library files according to Apple's support pages - no change. Permission repair - nothing. There must be something that is not in the typical pathways that Qmaster uses that is getting corrupted. Any suggestions?

Thanks for helping. A screen shot of something that isn't there might not be helpful. Let me see if I can describe the problem better.
Upon opening the Qmaster menu, I have the option to enable QuickCluster which I can do. Then the oddities start: first I get a system administrator password window which never happened before. I am logged in as an administrator and QuickCluster before always just enabled. I enter my password and close the Qmaster window however when I submit a batch, the QuickCluster option isn't there. Sometimes the computer isn't there either! (When that happens I have to trash the Qmaster library files or no rendering at all.) When closing Compressor, the system password window comes up again and if I don't enter it Compressor will not quit. Upon reopening Compressor, after the window asking if I want to enable shared services is clicked yes, the system password window comes up. If I cancel it then the QuickCluster is not enabled and Compressor behaves normally without any more requests for the system password. If I enter the password, the QuickCluster doesn't appear in the submit window and there's a chance the computer won't either.
This has occured the same way when the computer is booted off my normal system drive or the clean system boot disk that has none of my personalizations.

  • The adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions have helped

    the adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions listed in the help section works! I've tried all the solutions listed but none seems to work.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == it started a week ago

    Why is Flash now so unstable in Firefox? The Flash has crashed indicator is now a familiar visitor (it generally goes when I refresh the page so it's not hugely fatal!) But . . . I am having to go back to IE to check the reliability with my own sites - which are heavily dependent on flash for animation and video. What can be done? My Firefox and Flash installations are kept up to date. Really disappointing.

    Hey Ian
    That would be correct. because of the nature of your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources.

  • My iPhone hasn't turned on in 2 days and none of the solutions i have looked up worked, please help,this is a very urgent matter!

    my iPhone hasn't turned on in two days and none of the solutions i have looked up worked. i need all the help i can get. this matter is very urgent!

    Before we can help you we will need more information. Did you try to reset the phone while it was charging by holding the power button and home button until you saw the apple then let go? Please give a summary of what you have attempted, any error messages, what do you see on the screen, if anything.

  • I've spent an hour plus googling this and none of the 'fixes' works. My custom ringtones show up fine in itunes but are grayed out in iphone when I try to sync. This just happened when I synced my phone: previously worked fine.

    I've spent an hour on this: massively frustrating. My custom ringtones disappeared from iphone when I just sync'd and now show up in itunes/iphone interface (on the mac) grayed out: won't sync to phone. I know the audio files work because they were fine two hours ago! (iphone 5 running 8.1.3)

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • I forgot my security questions/answers and none of the solutions provided by Apple seems to work

    I don't remember the answers for my security questions.
    Well I've been told to hit a tab to send an email to what is called a 'rescue mail', but I don't think I have a rescue mail for that there's no such tab.
    I have an alternate email address entered in my account, though, but I guess it doesn't work as a rescue mail.
    I tried to set up a new rescue mail but also can't find such tab.
    This is so stupid.. My phone's broken so I can't even arrange a call with Apple until I get to fix it.
    Can anybody pleaaase help me get through this?

    Hi Alex,
       Thanks for the Link . I saw the link and have done the same steps as said in that . I have created a crossdomain.xml file in my 127.0.0.1 and i can also see that the policy being accepted in the  "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs" . I have pasted the lines in policyfiles.txt below.
        OK: Root-level SWF loaded: app:/main.swf
        OK: Policy file accepted: http://127.0.0.1/crossdomain.xml
       But I still get that sandbox violation error. I have tried the below solutions and none of them worked
           1) security.allowDomain("*");
           2) crossdomain xml in the webroot of the accessing server like below
                        <?xml version="1.0"?>
                         <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM “http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd”> 
                         <cross-domain-policy>
                            <site-control permitted-cross-domain-
    policies="all" />
                             <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" />
                       </cross-domain-policy>
           3) I saw that adding the Application path in the  "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\flexbuilder.cfg" will remove the sandbox violation but this also didnt work        
           4)  "Project - Properties - Flex Compiler - Additional compiler arguments:" add   -use-network=true  and then recompile and post to server
           5) I have also checked the policy file logs
    Thanks in advance

  • Ipod touch won't start up beyond apple on screen, just keeps flashing.  Tried restoring but I continually get error messages but none of the solutions work.  Help?

    My Ipod touch stays on the start up screen with the apple and just blinks.  I have tried all suggested
    resolutions but none work.  I have tried to restore it but continually get error code 1611 or 9.  I have
    tried all of those solution to no avail.  Any other suggestions?

    If you tried all the suggestions of:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    You likely have a hardware problem since the article says a possible cause of the 1611 error is a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • After installing latest update, I am not able to open word documents, it always ask to convert it and non of the options work?

    so after i download a word document, i am unable to open it. I get a box with a list of options to convert the text into another file. Not sure why this is happening, i've gone to the preferences and set it to always open .doc files with word, but it's not working. Can you please tell me what to do?

    I believe it is 2008 that I have. Does that make a difference? Do i need to pay again for the 2011 version? How do I do an update for word?
    Thank you!

  • My iphone is frozen on the apple logo. I was downloading the new itunes but then the cable disconnected and now it has an apple logo and the download line. It's been like this for the whole day and none of the buttons work. Help?

    A bit of help please?

    Try a force restart by holding the power and home button down at the same time. One of two things will PROBABLY happen; 1) It will boot into iOS as normal. 2) You will get an iTunes logo with a USB cable at the bottom. If the second happens you will need to plug it into iTunes to do a restore. If neither of these happen, force restart again. Once the phone powers off, let go of both buttons and push and hold the home button and plug the phone into iTunes. This will force the phone into recovery mode. Proceed with a restore at that point.

  • I put my iPhone into an otter box extender and onto my stereo system, when I plugged it the screen went black, it wont turn on and none of the buttons work.

    As soon as i plugged it into my stereo system with the otter box extender attached, ive tried to reset my phone by holding the lock and home button at the same time but nothing happens. After its been plugged in it starts to get warm, but the computer doesnt recognize it and nothing seems to happen.

    It could be the battery if it was left in a very hot car or something and now it has practically no capacity.
    (Lithium Ion batteries should mever be allowed to get completely flat - they need to retain some energy in order to recharge)
    But if you haven't done anything that you think would have damaged the phone, and it is still under warranty, contact Apple and they'll sort it.

  • I updated my ipad3 and now it wont come on. it just shothe itunes logo and none of the button works, it is not responding what do I do?

    Hi

    You are in recovery mode.  Do what your iPad is telling, which is to connect your iPad to your computer via USB and open iTunes.  This link will walk you through the steps, but be advised, it may take several attempts to make it work.

  • HT201412 my ipod touch 4g is stuck on white screen and none of the buttons work and holding home and sleep button doesnt work either

    hi im abishek and my ipod touh 4 g is stuck on white screen and holding he power and hoe button doesnt work.what should i do?????!!!!!
    and also my ipod doesnt show upp on itunes so i cant restore it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
