What is Qmaster and Qadministrator?
I need some advice about two applications that suddenly appeared in my application folder. Qmaster and Qadministrator. I see that they are Apple programs, but don't know how they got there (though they may have come as part of some other programs I recently installed) nor do I know how to use them or if I really need to use them. I see that there is a referrence to networking, but I am not on a network per se (other than a router connecting my desk top Mac to my Macbook.
I searched the forums and can't seem to find what this does, how it got there, and how it works.
Thanks.

Apple QMaster and QAdministrator
Hi,
Does anyone here use the Apple QMaster and QAdministrator software to allow rendering accross multiple MAC's? Does this even work for After Effects? I have three MAC's here at the office, (slightly different specs accross the board) and I was wondering if there is a way to set them up to work as a sort if render farm? That way, I can create a few projects on one, and schedule some rendering to happen, and make the most use of the idle machines.
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to go about creating a render farm, what is involved, and where to begin?
My previous posts about the hardware I wanted to get, and the replies are making me a little concerned that I am going to waste a large amount of money on machines we dont need yet. (at this point, one of my biggest concerns is that we need a license for Twixtor, but can either get MAC, or Windows, they will not allow us to intechange if we decide to go the PC route. So I need to be very sure of my facts before I send the moneu on the Twixtor license)
Thank you
PierreHi,
Thanks again! - I have sent some mails to Re:Vision contact centre to weigh up our options. We are still working on the first part of the project, and being self-funded, our budget is a little tight. Honestly, when we go live, and we believe it will be successful.. I would like to get as many plug ins as my little heart desires. I would love all of Video CoPilots stuff, and Red Giant, and Boris, and+and+and!
For now, I am being a little cautious though. So, we need twixtor to make up the extra slow motion our camera cant do, but other than that, as far as After Effects special effects go, we will probably try to use mostly stock footage for the first part. Our greatest "Issue" is going to be rendering time - I will look into your suggestions, as see what we can come up with. I am going to hand over my to IMAC's and get myself two powerhouse PC's instead. The MACS will go back to the the other guys, so we will still use them, just not for now. So all licenses will be PC licenses to start with - untill we make the big time, and hire the entire forum to come work with us!
Take it easy,
and thanks agan for the advice.

Hi,
I have created already a cluster controller with 11 service nodes, installed already the AE6.5, the necessary plugins and qmaster software on all nodes, created also a cluster in qadministration.
When i tried to submit batches in my cluster it is successful but the output files is no where to be found. can anyone help me with this qmaster and AE.
I have read also the forum here about qmaster and AE done everything they told, mounted all the shred drive but still no output files. though my cluster is running, receiving jobs and processing and generating an status of Succesful Progress... After Effects succesfully launched
this is my unix template
/Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ 6.5/aerender -project /Volumes/render-1.local/project/test6.5\ folder/test6.5.aep -comp "Comp 1" -RStemplate "Multi-Machine Settings" -OMtemplate "Multi-Machine Sequence" -s 1 -e 25 -i 1 -output /Volumes/render-1.local/output/test[#####].psd
help anybody!hi johnaris,
in your unix template:
/Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ 6.5/aerender -project /Volumes/render-1.local/project/test6.5\ folder/test6.5.aep -comp "Comp 1" -RStemplate "Multi-Machine Settings" -OMtemplate "Multi-Machine Sequence" -s 1 -e 25 -i 1 -output /Volumes/render-1.local/output/test[#####].psd
there is basically nothing wrong with it. your render nodes are working well. the reason why only one service node is rendering your submitted job is that, you were only submitting 25-frames to render.
By default, qmaster allocates 10-frames each segment (minimum number of frames in each apple qmaster segment). Because your submitted job is 25-frames, Qmaster will divide them into 2 segments of 10 frames each. Mac Minis have 2 cpus, therefore the frames were being accomodated into one mac mini.
For this, try lowering the number of minimum value to 5 under the "Minimum" field. This way, apple qmaster divides the job into 5-segments of 5-frames each. You should have 3 service nodes running with this scenario.
If you like, try setting the minimum value to 1 so qmaster divides the job into 25-segments of 1-frame each. With this, all your 11-macminis (service nodes) should be working.
regarding that "unix error command 9" -- no idea...
hope that helps.
cheers!

What does Qmaster do for Shake 4.1
Hi Everyone,
So what does Qmaster do for Shake 4.1? Can i run Shake and have all the functions without Qmaster?
See, I had to take the new Qmaster off, so that I could run Compressor, being that Compressor needs and will not run with the older version (2.0.1) of Qmaster, so now I have Compressor working but, am just thinking, will i loss, or what will I loss on Shake w/o the new Qmaster.
ChristopherApple Qmaster is a system of utilities that provides automated work distribution and
processing projects created with Shake and other software packages on Mac OS X.
Shake provides an optional interface, available as a subtree at the bottom of the
Render Parameters window, which lets you submit jobs to the Apple Qmaster system.
For more information on setting up and using Apple Qmaster, you are stongly
encouraged to see the Apple Qmaster User Manual.
So -- yes.

Qmaster and Foundry Nuke v5 - solution
For those who is interested in integrating The Foundry Nuke into Qmaster pipeline here is the solution.
It's really easy:
1. Instal applications, bla bla bla (as usual)
2. Open Qmaster and select Generic render
3. Create new template and add the following commands executable,input, start frame, end frame, steps (in Format panel)
4. in Executable panel ( on top ) put "/Applications/Nuke5.1v2/Nuke5.1v2.app/Contents/MacOS/Nuke5.1v2" (without quotes, Nuke5.1v2 should be changed to the name YOU HAVE on your system)
5. Input field - is a path to the Nuke project file (with .nk) you want to render
6. Item field - empty
7. Star and end fields - is the same as in project.
8. Steps field - is a way to control which frame ( if you project is a sequences) will be rendered ( say you put 2 thats mean every second frame is rendered and so on)
9. Minimum field - is a field what control how many frame will be given to each machine in a cluster.
10. Now in Format field after the executable put -x ( that makes Nuke render in command line without opening the Nuke app)
Now Render.....
Good luck.
Please post comments if you have any experiences with Nuke and Qmaster.

DSO - What key fields and data fields in dso
Hi experts,
I need to create a dso in between the cube and 2 data sources(2lis_11_vaitm, 2lis_12_vcscl) to stage the data. My question is: what key fields and data fields to choose for the dso? is there a standard dso to copy? please explain in detail the model to set up, whether to connect both the ds's to dso and then to cube or one ds to dso and the other to the cube. more details will help.Check this for standard DSO:

Sorry didn't know that the first step was just supposed to be "subject".
So here it is again.
"I am transfering my stuff from my lap top to my desk top (both Mac). I cannot get my CS4 to open. It gives me a 150:30 error, licencing thing. I have no idea what to do and after hours of searching none of what I found helps. I don't know anything about this stuff so please don't answer with "maybe this willl work, or maybe that." I need a real answer please and I cannot find a way to actually contact Adobe. I also don't have a disk drive on this Mac. Thanks"
Also please feel free to e-mail the answer because I hate looking for these answers online. It takes me forever to find this section. Not that I have even even gotten a real answer.
[email protected]Hi Sonia,
While transferring Adobe from laptop to PC the licensing files got corrupt and the right way to use Adobe Applications is to install first as transferring from a different machine can give you problems.
You can try steps from this article if that helps otherwise you have to reinstall and manually delete some files , everything is mentioned.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?
I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. Tried it 10 times with the same result. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!
Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

So here is what I found and what I did to try to alleviate the RAM eating upgrade named Yosemite. This guy has helped quite a few people, you can read all the comments and I gave it several tries this morning.
Oct 23, 2014 10:59 AM
I post this hoping to help those users who, like me, are experiencing high CPU usage and massive memory leaking with OS X core services and apps, leading to slow performance and battery drain.
I've tried everything mentioned, but found the right combination of steps to follow. I've tried this with seven different Apple computers, including mine, and has worked well so far. I applied this method yesterday to give these process a 24 hour window to fail again, so far everything good.
First step: disconnect any external or secondary monitors, if any is present. The video memory allocation leak can also happen if you have a system with an integrated card, like Intel, with no external monitors attached.
Second step: Shut down your machine and enter Safe Mode (press shift once you turn on your computer again, more info below). Once you're there, fix your disk permissions.
Guide of how to access Safe Mode: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Third step: From Safe Mode turn off your machine again and reset your System Management Controller (SMC). There are different methods, depending on machine, to do this. To know what method applies to yours read the following guide.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Fourth step: Once your machine completes a full boot after resetting the SMC turn it off again and reset your PRAM (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, BUT THE PREVIOUS ONES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THIS ONE TO WORK). The PRAM stores small bits of data that indicate our Apple computer how to interact with the devices connected to it, including monitors and video cards. It also affects software.
To reset it you should hold the OPTION, COMMAND, P and R keys in your keyboard immediately after turning on your machine again.You'll hear the start up chime, continue pressing the keys until the machine boots and the chime starts A SECOND TIME, then release. IF YOUR YOSEMITE INSTALLATION LOCKS UP AT A BLACK SCREEN AFTER THIS, DONT PANIC! It's normal, just turn off your computer and let it boot again.
More info about PRAM: OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Voila, reconnect your external displays and enjoy your system.

I hope to hear from anyone even to knock me in the head, lol. Thanks in advance and I'll be around trying to figure this out.1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

I can not view emojis correctly on my brand new iPhone 6 and happens no matter what generation phone and my txt are freen when I send them to someone instead of the normal color. Plz helpu
Hey John,
If you are having an issue with emojis on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Troubleshooting emoji issues - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,
Brett L -
why when i want to download a free app from app store it asks for my apple id and when i give my apple id it then says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store". i dont even know what that means and it will this happen everytime?
If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.
To create an Apple account without a credit card see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -
When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it? All im trying to do is update my apps and its asking for these random apple ID's.
The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.
