Taking forever to send comps to AME CC 2014

Hello, for the last week or so I've having difficulties using AME CC 2014 to render AE CC 2014 comps. I click 'add to Media Encoder cue' and nothing happens. Sometimes 10-15 min later the comp shows up in the AME cue, other time it will appear after starting other encoding jobs. There's no indication that anything is going on during this time (no excessive save times). This issue does not seem to extend to Pr. I am attempting to render very large comps (~6000x720 px). I recently installed the latest round of updates, but I don't believe this issue started immediately after.
Has anyone else been experiencing this or have a fix? This is incredibly frustrating. So far it seems that CC has only sped up how fast bugs are rolled out, not fixes!
Some tech details:
Mac Pro 8-core Xeon E5
64gb ram
OS X 10.9.5
Working off of and rendering to a Pegasus 2 R6
P.S. I've also been having lots of issues with multi-frame rendering, but that's been causing me issues off and on for 3+ years, so I don't believe they are connected.

Hi Szalam, thanks for responding!
As a test I just made a new project with a 720p comp and a single solid with a text layer. It cued up in AME without issues, both saved locally and on the RAID.
I then made a very basic 7000px wide comp and that cued properly as well.
These projects I'm working on that are having issues are fairly complex with lots of footage, AI files, and precomps. Is there any reason that would make it take 10-15min to cue? It doesn't really make sense when saving the project file only takes 2-3 seconds.
I have been rendering to an intermediary in the mean time, it just really slows down my progress since multi-frame rendering hasn't been working in AE. I guess I'll have to dig up my old BG render script.
Thanks for the help!

Text messages taking FOREVER to send

I've had the LG G3 for almost four months and I've been having so many problems with this phone. I can send texts but it takes at least 30 minutes to send. And this phone is so slow. It constantly freezes on me and I don't have a lot of apps I only go on Facebook and instagram. If anyone has any info on how to fix my texts that would be awesome!

drewfioswifey,
Oh no, sorry to hear your phone isn't working as it should be! Let's get these messages back in business. Are you using the native messaging application? Does this happen everywhere or just one specific location? What's your zip code?
Please share additional details.

Iphone 4S takes FOREVER to send photo

I've been trying to send a photo, and its taking FOREVER, to send a shot I took with it's camera at full res, (about 2.8 megs).
Its been over 5 mins so far and it still hasn't sent

Are you using 3G ofr Wifi? If it is over 3G then there might be a lot of network congestion slowing the upload of the image.

Mail takes forever to send all of a sudden!

For some reason, my mail app is taking forever to send anything all of a sudden. Even smaller text-only emails take a couple minutes. I've tried ports 25 and 587 - no difference. Any thoughts?
Also I am upgrading from 1gb to 2gb RAM tomorrow - would that speed things up at all? (I don't imagine that it would...any thoughts?)

It could be that there is a problem with the particular outgoing server you’re using. Are this mail account and the associated outgoing (SMTP) server provided by your ISP or by someone else?
It could also be that there is something wrong with your network settings. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc and see whether that makes a difference.

Cannot send AE Comp to AME

None of the methods work for sending a composition to AME. Importing from AME gets stuck on the Dynamic Link window while "loading project.aep" and it never finishes. Using the command in the AE Composition drop-down simply does nothing at all. I see activity in AE in the activity monitor for a minute or so then I guess it just quits trying. I also tried putting the composition and it's assets only in a new project with the same results.
I'm using the latest CC everything on a Macbook Pro Retina OS X 10.10.2 and had the same problem in 10.10.1.
Thanks for any help. I rarely post here but everyone else I found who has posted with this issue was getting ignored so I figured I would give it a shot.

When rendering After Effects comps in AME, the rule of thumb is WYSIWYG. Whatever the Comp panel shows is what AME will render.
The exception to this is the viewer controls at the bottom of the Comp panel: resolution, grids/guides, channels, etc. Those only affect how you view the comp, they don't affect the content of your comp, which is what AME cares about.
In other words, AME will render your comp the way it is set up in the Timeline panel.

ADODE MEDIA ENCODER CS5 TAKING FOREVER????

Hello
I have just noticed that AME is not encoding fast enough as it used to. I recently changed my set up to the following,
C : Seagate Momentus XT 500GB (2.5" 7200rpm)
D : Areca Raid Controller 1110 (3 x seagate momentus 7200rpm 2.5" Raid 0) Media Files
E/F :TB32 Raid Controller ( 2 x Seagate 3.5" 7200RPM hdd Raid 0 Partitioned) Stock footage, Media Cache and Exports
I converted my two bay workstation to 4 2.5" HDDs
The sequence I am currently exporting is 23 minutes long and is Matrox HDV 50i, with Matrox colour correction, Magic Bullet Looks and Adobe Auto contrast. This export is taking forever and it has just rendered a sixth of the sequence for 2 hours 27 minutes and indicates that 11 hours 23 minutes remains to render. CPU is not maxed out never had such awful long renders before with my previous setting which had only two logic HDDs.
This was my previous HDD set up
C : Bios Raid 0 (Western Digital Caviar Green 3.5" 7200 x 2 partitioned into C & D)
E/F :TB32 Raid Controller ( 2 x Seagate 3.5" 7200RPM hdd Raid 0 Partitioned) Stock footage, Media Cache and Exports
So currently I am not sure whether I have gone for the better or I have just worsened. I have just exported some clips with after effects and the CPU was maxed out without any sluggish perfomance.
SYSTEM
HP XW6600 Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Dual Xeon 5450 3ghz (8 virtual cores)
32 GB RAM
GTX 285 2GB GPU
Matrox RT X2
Areca 1110
I have got lots of jobs coming up and perfomance has become of paramount importance. I am considering RMA of the 2.5" HDDs here, don't know what to do really? Check out this picture which shows the perfomance I am suffering here.

You need to establish if this is AME or Matrox.
Place your project in a non Matrox project and render again.
Mind you Looks and auto contrast take a lot of rendering.
Best is to ditch the auto contrast and use the Brightness and Contrast.
Effects with auto tend to make a mess of you video.
What preset did you use i find your settings somewhat odd.
I copied all the footage in the matrox timeline and pasted it into HDV timeline. There was no change, the render speed is just the same. The first clip in this sequence is a quicktime mov file 1920 x 1080 (Opening sequence 30 sec long no effects), AME renders this one faster than real time and max out the CPU to over 95%, but when it hits the main content with the filters, the CPU usage drops tremendously. This happens on both matrox and HDV sequences, which leaves with no alternative but to think that the slowness render issue lies with the Red Giant plugins.

Time machine to airdisk taking forever...maybe a gig an hour

So I set up my Airport Extreme Airdisk as a Time Machine disk. I started the first backup and its taking forever...if I am lucky its sending a gig an hour on an 802.11n machine.
Any thoughts?

It seems that Time Machine uses Apple's disk imaging mechanism.
The version of this in Leopard uses a helper app called diskimages-helper. You can see it in the process list of Activity Monitor when running Time Machine, Disk Utility or Carbon Copy Cloner disk imaging.
This app seems to have issues with images larger than around 80GB. I have now shown that whether started by Time Machine, Disk Utility or Carbon Cloner images between 120 and 200GB run flat chat (disk limited) for the first 80GB or so and then slow down dramatically.
How much data are you trying to backup?
On the upside, once the first copy is made. incremental Time Machine backups seem to be very fast. Perhaps if you set time Time Machine with enough exclusions to get the first image down to 80GB, it may be possible to add the rest later. I have not tried this.
On the topic of should you use an airdisk: I see that it is a requirement that the backup disk/share supports ACLs. I think Airdisk might be OK for data files, but probably will not restore a full working boot disk. Have you tried that?

First backup is taking forever (more than two days) in my MacBook Air

First backup is taking forever , painfully slow, I am using MacBook Air, what can I do to speed things up. is there a particular way to set TC up ?? I set it up to join an existing wireless network, is this right or wrong? I just need a few tips to make the backup faster.

Answer: yes, the Time Capsule is junk - in my opinion. I was excited about an all-in-one router plus 1TB of backup wirelessly available, but if you check the many posts about this thing, you'll hear about numerous problems:
- unbelievably slow backups, overnight or longer for the first, very long for even small backups after minor activity - and not necessarily due to network speeds.
- heat issues - this thing runs very hot, even with fans running, and people have had to put little rubber feet under it to improve airflow, etc. - not something I think is reasonable for a $500+ item - some get an "overheating" message from the utility app.
- problems with hanging - it hangs on "Preparing Backup" (as it did for me for days) and doesn't backup - thereby making the unit useless as it was designed.
- mounting and recognition issues - not so much with me but for quite a few others.
SEND IT BACK... I am sending mine back and going back to manual backups where I can see exactly what is being backed up to my external HDD and where it is. The opaque nature of the entire Time Machine backup is irritating to me - TC was "backing up" say, "75MB of 125.3MB" but I had no idea what it was backing up, and why only 125.3MB? Was that all my activity changed during the session? Or all sorts of system files, etc. being backed up? I'm not techie enough to get into the guts of it, so I am going back to my usual external HDD to do it by hand. It's a good habit to get into (if inconvenient compared to the TC) but at least I am secure with it.
I am also not sure if TC can be used as a plug-and-play USB storage drive if I were to, say, just connect it to a Windows machine and try to access files in folders. I suppose not?

Importing assets to Encore taking forever to import

Importing large (~8GB ea) mpeg videos as "timeline: assets into Encore and it's taking FOREVER. Is there a way to "link" the video clips like inDesign does with it's assets? How come it takes so long for these video clips to import, especially since they aren't even transcoded yet? It shouldn't be copying them, right? I tried saving my Encore project in the same folder as my mpeg clips hoping it would "see" them and import quicker but that didn't work.
Thanks.

Video clips file type: Movie Clip (.mpg), 1290x720, 59 FPS.)
Not 1280x720? And the 59 is 59.94?
Did you transcode them from something else? Or are these your source clips.
Encore prefers demuxed files (m2v and wav, for example), not mpg with the video and audio in one file.
Also, Encore must examine the file and do a type of indexing.
No, it doesn't help to try to keep the Encore folders with the assets, because Encore creates its own folders.
What does help is having the xmpses and such files that Premiere or AME would generate.
But yes, these are very large files, and it will take Encore some work to process them.

Save taking forever

Is it just me or is anyone else finding it's taking forever to save a document in Numbers? It's taking 1:10 to save a small document with one table (5 Columns and 306 Lines). Of course, I do get to enjoy the spinning beach ball while I wait. I've already repaired permissions, etc.

Hello
I really don't understand because this kind of doc seems to be a small one.
May you archive it in a zip file and send it to my mailbox:

so I will be able to look at it.

Yikes, 5 minute video taking forever to load on drop-in

I have a 5 minute video shot in HD at 1920 x 1080. I have compressed the video to only 27MB because I am really only using the video as a guide to the graphics so it doesn't matter if the video looks bad. I will not be using the video part in the end, only the graphics I create around it. Basically, I am using the video as a timeline both video palcement and audio placement.
I imported the video and dragged it down the the "new comp" button to make sure the sizing is set properly at 1920 x 1080. Now it seems to be taking forever for the video to "load". It's only moving in slow-mo and I still can't hear any audio. I know I have to use the preview controls to hear audio but still nothing. Sometimes i can hear audio but then no video, although neither is actually working.
Is my computer too weak to handle this file?
I am running an HP, AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual core processor 6000 + 3.00GHz, 3.00GB, 32-bit OS. Is that enough?
What is the best way to load large video files so you can actually work with them (audio and video) without the stops and starts?
Thank you!

Rudy: Without knowing the details, it's important to point out that some extremely compressed video formats are meant for distribution/playback, not to be used in production. They could be much harder to decode tan the original video file recorded by the camera (again, not knowing what kind of camera). In fact, the overall file size or data rate for a video file is not directly related to how heavy it is for an application to lift it, sort of speak. Simply try using the original. But it would be useful if you post what format the original is, and also the compressed file.

After installing SP3 for BO XI R1 - Crystal Reports taking forever to run.

Hello,
We are running BO XI R1 SP3. Ever since installing SP3 a number of our scheduled Crystal Reports are taking forever to run. The Business Objects server resources are okay, CPU never really gets above 50% so I figure perhaps it's our SQL Server.
We run SQL 2005 and CPU on that hovers around 30%, we've got 4 2.6GHz CPUs with 16GB of RAM. Looking in SQL Server activity monitor the reason the reports are taking some time is that the wait types are generally CXPACKET.
For example a report used to process in a minute however after installing SP3 the report now takes several hours. Since we've 4 CPU's on our SQL Server activity monitor creates four sessions for the report to try and process it in parallel. However all of those four sessions have a wait type of CXPACKET. This I understand is related to parallelism and people have said to reduce that so nothing runs in parallel.
However I should not have to do that as things used to run just fine, there is no physical reason (i.e. RAM / CPU / HDD) that reports are locked waiting in SQL server. Has anyone else had this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix please?
Kind regards,
Chris Rutherford

XIR2 has two different redistributable MSI packages. One is compatable with 1.1 framwork applications and the other is compatable with 2.0 framework applications.
try downloading the SP3 MSIs from [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009656792008E/crxir2sp3_net_si.zip]
this will have both MSIs
- CrystalReports11_5_NET.msi (for 1.1fwk applications)
- CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi (for 2.0fwk applications)
rename the CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi to CrystalRedist115_x86.msi and replace the existing file in the Bootstrapper folder path
Uninstall the last install, rebuild and try your Click-Once install again. This time you should have the 11.5.3700.0 runtime.

My ipod touch is takeing forever to update to IOS 5.01

i have an ipod touch and its a 4 gen and i have a new computer and it realy fast but my ipod update is takeing forever to update i have done everything i even changed some internet setting it still takes forever please help me. ,Thank you

If your iPod does not have camera it is a 3G iPod. Those can only go to 5.1.1. Its hardware does not support a higher version.
As other have said, a 4G (first one to have cameras) can only go to 6.1.6
A 5G can go to the current 7.1.2
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Okay so I just got a new MacBook and I'm setting it up. I decided to not download all of my files to iCloud drive and its taking forever to load to the next page. Is this normal for it to take so long? After all I didn't even download my stuff?

why is it taking forever to load!?

The files you are loading into the new computer are by wi-fi? If you have no other option
that may be OK but slow. A faster method would be Ethernet cable from internet router
or modem, instead of wireless. Most of the setup process can take some time.
What are these files? Where are they now?
Do you have a backup on-site, & not online?
Did you check to see if the operating system was updated as part of the setup before use?
The Software Update can locate later parts to the as-shipped system, that may be needed.
Other upgrades or new apps are through the Mac App Store, some through App Store, etc.
As part of the setup, you could use a migration assistant if you have a backup from the old
computer or have other files saved in an external hard drive to import.
Hopefully your process won't be drawn out too long...
Good luck & happy computing!
