WHY DOES BATCH MONITOR FAIL EVERY TIME SINCE LATEST OSX UPDATE?

I cannot get anything out of FCP5 into compressor without BM saying failed as server application quit unexpectedly!!!!????
This is supposed to be a commercial professional set of tools and so much of the time they just do not work!!!
Why is the BBC giving up Avid etc and moving down to FCP and compressor etc??
Sorry for the moan, I am at the point of throwing my G5away in frustration at this point.
Tom

Same is happening here.
I've tried the Pro-Apps update and trashed the files as instructed but Compressor's Batch Monitor quits unexpectedly.
Ahhh this is really frustrating, am on a tight deadline and really need it to work.
Weird thing is that once its quit its seems to still process the files, which is a worry as I can't trust the quality of what its doing. My client is going to kill me!
Apple sort your "Pro" apps out, they need to be reliable!

Network startup fails every time since 6/9 update [SOLVED]

I use the netctl method to start the network on my various machines (with static IP addresses) and since doing full system upgrades on 6/9, which included an update to systemd, the network fails to start on bootup, every time. I have to start the network manually after logging in.
I just read a post about a similar systemd-related problem (involving a new service) from which I quote: "yet another bunch of races to accompany the ones that have pestered the arch-linux bootup since that festering pile of race-ridden cs-student pipedream called systemd has been adopted into it."
Race conditions in network startup have been troublesome for me since systemd appeared. It's been quite some time now and the problems keep appearing. Much as I like Arch, I may have to abandon it, because this kind of basic unreliability is not acceptable.

Well, I did some more work on this, and I have a bit of egg on my face, with an excuse. You can decide for yourself whether you think it's a good one.
I run multiple machines that I use for different circumstances, e.g., travel. I rsync my home directory when moving from one machine to another. They are all set up identically, with Arch. To avoid confusion about which machine has the latest changes in my home directory, the scripts I use for rsync-ing and my .bash_profile send emails to my gmail address, so I have an audit trail of what I have done. In the past, I *have* experienced systemd troubles (and know that because the network didn't come up reliably and there was discussion by others on this forum of problems similar to mine, with patches for the systemd scripts) and the first symptom I saw was the inability of my .bash_profile to send my 'I just logged in on system X' email. Since the system update yesterday, I have been seeing this symptom. My mistake was assuming, instead of verifying, that the network had not come up, and just starting the network manually with netctl (there was no error message from netctl that I was starting an already-started network profile). My confusion was abetted by the fact that there was a systemd update yesterday, according to pacman. But, in fact, when I realized I was making an unwarranted assumption and actually checked, I found that the network had come up and I now believe this is not a systemd issue.
I think the issue is with mailx (mail), which also got updated yesterday. The mail I send requires authentication by the smtp server I'm using, and my scripts provide that, using the smtp-auth-* options to mail. This worked until yesterday. Looking at the mail man page, it appears that mail configuration and these options are about to change with version 15. The current version is 14.7 and purports to support both the old and new-style configuration and options. To turn on the new style, you supposedly invoke an option, -v15-compat, which is off by default. The options I'm using are not v15 compatible, but should work, since I have not provided the option to turn on v15 support. But it appears they do not.
I will mark this thread SOLVED, since my original diagnosis was wrong.

Why does Batch Monitor hang

Why does batch monitor seem to hang.
It says it's processing, but no of the the times or the percentages done,
Seem to move.
Sometimes I can pause the task then resume and it works.
Sometimes not.
Sometimes I have to start another batch rolling, pause the problem
one and then resume it after the other batch is done.

Same is happening here.

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

Actually it does with Ethernet too: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2412?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
On all Macs:
The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
On portable Macs:
The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
Expansion card slots turn off
The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
The optical media drive, if present, spins down
Audio input and output turns off
Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
But see the note about selecting, "Wake For Network Access" in Energy Saver preferences.
Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

Why does my iPhoto quit every time i use it?

why does my iPhoto quit every time i use it?

Thanks for your help.
1st, when I go to software updates, it says all my software is up to date. Perhaps that is because I only have OS 10.7.5 and the updated iPhoto version is for an updated OS version.
I turned off the counts in prefernces and still can empty the trash. It gets stuck and will not empty more than about 1/5 of the trash.
Can you help me figure out the fastest way to back up iPhoto. I have the cloud backup but not sure how to check to see if it is actually backing up my photos. Do you know how to check into this? Is it better to back up on a hard drive?
Thanks again for your help ...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

One possibility: in some versions of Acrobat you are offered the choice of whether to copy installation files. If you say no, you will need to refer back to the CD for every update.

Why Does iTunes 6 crash every time I try to open it????

I'm ready to tear my hair out. This is NOT what I want to be doing at 11:43PM. It all started because I wanted to download the song "Wild Thing" the other night. I got a message indicating to download it I have to upgrade to iTunes 6. Given that it's a free upgrade, why not. After a couple of days of assorted problems doing the installation, finally got that right (or so it seemed).
However, every time I click to open iTunes, it immediately crashes. When I click to report the crash to Microsoft and follow the link, I get this message (my narrative continues after the Microsoft info below).
Solution found: contact Apple Computer to obtain the update

I've even tried temporarily shutting down antivirus and antispyware before installing. No dice. Same problem.
Is this software just buggy or what? I don't WANT to troubleshoot. I just want to access my iTunes library!!! I need 2 or 3 simple steps to make this work. I didn't even want to download iTunes 6. I was perfectly happy with the prior version.

Go back to a version of iTunes that worked for you. When I upgraded to 6.0.2, I crashed every time I plugged an iPod in. I went back to 6.0.1, and everything works fine now. Make sure you completely uninstall your current "upgrade" of iTunes, then go to http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
to get a prior version of iTunes for installation.
Please respond if this works. Seems like problems after the 6.0.2 release of iTunes for Windows have been rampant. Like you, I assumed that every upgrade of iTunes was automatically an improvement. Not so, at least for me and a lot of other users.
Good luck.

Why does firefox transfer data every time I open up applications such as facebook games. it takes the games longer to load because of this.

Connecting to my home page is quick...I transfered all my bookmarks (favorites) and settings as suggesetd from internet explorer. I figured this would only happen the first time I opened up games on facebook using Firefox...but it happens every time.

I'm sorry you are having this trouble. I can assure you that we want you to be using the homepage of your choice, and w are not even partnered with google anymore, for this isn't something Mozilla is doing on purpose (we will always respect your user choice)
I'd try the following:
* Sometimes this can be caused by a corrupted Firefox profile. Try the steps at [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] and let me know if that works.
* If that fails, try a Firefox Refresh, [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]]
* Finally this can be caused by malware. Try scanning for malware with the scanners at [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

Why does my computer restart every time I plug in my ipod?

I got my ipod touch a few weeks ago, and for the last two weeks, every time I plug it in, my computer restarts. It continues to restart every time it reaches the XP loading bit (where the bars travel across the screen, I don't know the technical name). I put the computer into safe mode and it doesn't restart, but my ipod isnt recognised on itunes so I can't sync it.
Does anyone have this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance

I've got a first gen. Ipod touch and I had a problem with my computer and had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows! since then when I plug in my touch it restarts my computer.
I'm looking on the forum for a solution before I try anything but to me it looks like we have a similar problem.
The only things different on my system since the last time it worked properly are I updated/reinstalled itunes yesterday and I installed NORTON 360 about a week ago so I think it must have something to do with them!
what browser do you use? I'm using firefox.
If you find a solution can you post an update and I'll do the same,thanks.
