compressor broken

Compressor question..

It appears to be broken.. I have a job cued that will not finish.. nothing's happening and it goes on and on blocking the cue. Rebooting doesn't help as it just starts up again on it's own. Canceling does not help as it refuses to cancel.. Kind of a Frankenstein job. Anyone know where to go to delete the job cue manually?

thanks,

Jason

First, Quit everything so that only your finder is running.

Then in the finder hit command-shift-G and then type this in: /var/spool/qmaster

In the qmaster folder you will find a folder or two of very long file names. Delete them and emptyt the trash.

Then open up Compressor and clear your history and quit compressor.

Restart, then try again.

Jeremy, I bow to your knowledge of Compressor and Qmaster's finer points. But, man, you gotta admit, that is one totally obscure thing to to know let alone how to fix.
I'll bet that's not in the manual!

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: "For crying out loud, read the freakin' manual."

It is strange. I picked it up from an Apple article on how to reinstall Compressor.
