Resetting Compressor 4.1's preferences... old disconnects causing issues

I need to reset compressors settings.  I believe I have multiple computers that are failing to participate in tasks because of server interruptions that happened long in the past. 
I need to reset the conntection to my server to be a different mode, and start ALL over with a nice fresh Compressor slate... one where it doesn't remember the time that it tried to access files which suddently disappeared. 
I have saved my export presets... that's all I need to save. 
How do I blow this thing a way and start fresh for a new crack at distributed processing?

Hi Trav,, by "compressor settings" do you mean the actual "default" or customised settings for transcoding reset and/or the default or customised settings for the LOCATIONS? Or do you mean the residual state information for past stale qmaster batch jobs you have submitted?, or both?
"SEARCH" is your friend in these forums.
Also note that this action only effects you and not other users who use Compressor.app V4.1.x on the same host . As you are well aware, the recent and later structure is localised (confined) to a user by user base unlike the old V3 compressor and Qmaster.
As documented (and parroted ) countless times in this forum, especially RESIDULA batch job that won't "cancel".....
On all HOSTS AND USERS! - where you use Compressor.app v4.1.x
simply PRESERVE your templates, droplets, locations and personalised transcoding settings somewhere else from YOUR OWN HOME DIRECTORY Library folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor. (copy them somewhere)
stop any SHARING in compressor (see this forum)
QUIT Compressor.app V4.1.x
and delete (yes mindlessly! this time) the folder in STEP 1 (~/Library/Application Support/Compressor).
start compressor.app V4.1.x again.. this will reinitialise the structures
copy the settings from STEP 1. back into ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor
set up this host for distributed processing
Simply... this is overwhelmly documented in this forum,  and in the formal Apple Compressor V4.1 Users Guide, about which I highly recommend you and others download as a good reference.
I'm sure it will be documented (and parroted) again on this forum.
Post your results for others to see.

  • .emix files from old sessions causing issues.

    Hi.
    Im trying to open up some old sessions from L9 and am having some issues with .emix files.

    I managed to get my iTune catalog moved to my new iMac but I am still haveing a hard time getting my iPhoto file transfered.

    Is there a special way to transfer the iPhoto files?
    ANY help would be appriciated....

  • I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app.  I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect.  Hotmail works fine on Mac.  Has anyone had this difficulty

    I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app.  I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect.  Hotmail works fine on Mac.  Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?

    Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back?   I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

    That's not how to do it. You don't move stuff then set the iTunes prefs > Advanced.
    Once you move the /iTunes/ folder, hold Option, launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the ITunes folder on the external.
    This will use the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder you moved.
    Don't change iTunes prefs > Advanced.

  • HT5661 If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone as suggested, will it effect my new iphone that I have already transferred my data to? Do I need to turn off Icloud on old phone before erasing data ?

    If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone will it effect the data I have already transferred to my ne iphone?

    Hello ski12
    Restoring or erasing all content and settings will just turn the feature of iCloud off and not deleting from iCloud. If you want to, turn off iCloud before you go through with erasing it.

  • CUCM Call-Disconnect cause 47

    Hello all,
         i hve an issue with below senario
    ph1----CUCM====CME=====NortelCs1000----ph2
    1-when ph1 call ph2 , it rings, then silent call, after 12 sec call disconnect
    2-debugging CME, gives; CUCM send disconnect cause 47
    3-tracing CUCM give
    AuConnectErrorInd | waitDisconnect | MediaManager(1,100,141,11) | MediaExchange(1,100,110,11) | (1,100,65,1).12257-(SEP00262D9FC90F:10.0.3.1)| [R:NP - HP: 0, NP: 2, LP: 0, VLP: 0, LZP: 0 DBP: 0]CI1=17696261 CI2=17696262 clearType=0
    10.0.3.1is the ip of CME
    4-call from ph2 to ph1 give the same symptom with same errors
    5-if a phone registered at CME , it can call ph2 or ph1 normally, with codec g729
    please help me to resolve this issue as all users cant call each others

    Problem is likely a codec mismatch.  Do you have MTP checked on the trunk between CUCM and CUCME?  When you make calls from the phone to CME, are you sure it is negotiating G729? 
    47 typically means a transcoder couldn't be invoked when it wanted one.  I would start looking at codec to see if you can find out what the issue is.

  • Saving problem: resets compressor filter and unable to quit after crash

    I'm not surprised there bug fixes are coming think and fast for Soundtrack Pro. I find it very unstable. No more so than when I dare to save! Firstly, it has an annoying habit of resetting the compressor filters gain to 0db when saving. I now rememeber this so I restore it's setting after saving. More problematic is when Soundtrack decides to crash/quit and offers you the options of reopening or sending a report to apple. None of these options work and you have to force quit. Fortunately the work has been saved when performing a save when this happens.
    If there's a work around or a bug fix on the way let me know. Meanwhile I'll endure this tempremental but nice piece of software.

    Have you trashed your FCP preferences yet? I think that would be step one. You can use FCP Rescue to make the preferences trashing easier.
    http://pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue/
    Choose the correct version to match your FCP version. In your case, that's the one listed as FCPRescue4.
    Don't have FCP running when you trash the prefs. Then, the next time you start FCP, you'll need to reset all your FCP settings and preferences.
    BTW, which version of QuickTime are you running?

  • Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file

    Hi,
    in an effort to make the edit-in option in LR work, I found instructions that I need to reset the preference file for LR. I followed the following directions, see below.
    However, even with holding the option key down on my iMac, as directed, I cannot find the folder and file. I do not have a Library folder under my username, but only one under hard drive, and in there I can find com.adobe.photoshop files, but no LR file. Can anybody help me?

    Try making hidden folders and files visible temporarily following the steps described here Quickly Show/Hide Hidden Files on Mac OS X Mavericks & Yosemite | Ian Lunn - Front End Developer, it applies to Mavericks but I think is also valid for Yosemite (but not 100% sure). Please don't use a external drive when hidden folders and files are visible as there might be a bug with LR5.7.1 on Yosemite when they are visible (not fully sure).
    When you are done with the preferences, make hidden folders and files invisible again.

  • How do I reset Safari on MacBook Pro, running Yosemite 10.10.3 with Safari V8.0.5? The reset button is not in Preferences, Privacy, nor on the drop-down menu of Safari.

    I have  a 2011 MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.3, and Safari V8.05. I want to reset Safari, but there is no reset in the Safari drop-down nor is there a reset in the Preferences - Privacy window. Any Help out there?

    Hi, thanks for the response.  I have searched online and many posts say to reset Safari all you have to do is click on the Safari icon, then select reset from the drop down menu, or find the reset button in the privacy window in preferences.  My system has neither options. My Safari had been hijacked (frozen) by a pop-up.  I cleared all history, cookies, cache, etc. with the wifi off, and it seems to have worked so far. Many posts said to reset Safari, and I don't seem to have that option.
    Thanks again.
