Q: Compressor Submit Button Greyed-Out SOLUTION!

Compressor and Apple Qmaster have to be in the same place!

 

Compressor would let me set everyting up but not the final "submit." It was greyed out.

 

Simple fix: In my case all I had to do was make sure Compressor and Apple Qmaster were in the same place. I had made a folder in my applications to put all my editing apps and MOVED Compressor into that folder but not Qmaster. I simply put compressor BACK into the regular APPLICATIONS area  and BAM-O! Done. Hope this brings relief.

Compressor, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Solution for greyed-out button.

    Moving your FCS suite to a subfolder in Applications or another location altogeter is a bad idea.

     

    All Apple software is placed on your system by the Installer app.

    Along with the software you install, it places a .pkg file in the Receipts folder.

    This package contains information on the software version, when it was installed and where.

    It also contains information about the permissions that the software has.

     

    Manually moving the software means that the information about the location of the programs is no longer correct.

    Updates to the programs will be announced by the built in Software Updater because it works by looking at the info in the .pkg file. Occaisionally, it is also neccessary to run Disk Utility to repair permissions.

     

    In both cases, the changes will not be applied because the programs are not in the correct location.

    Nick's dead on.  It used to be that you had pretty much total control over this stuff way back in os9.  But OSX does a lot of things automatically and does not allow for alot of user control outside of system prefernces.  At a certain point, you just have throw up your hands and do things the way the computer wants.
