    New Problem.

    Used Compressor many times recently. Now I cannot get it to boot up. Crashes on launch every time. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

    Apple has posted an info doc that actually works.
    (reinstalling Compressor is tricky, but compared with the alternative of reinstalling everything, it’s a lot less time consuming)

    Try trashing Compressor .plist file:

    [user]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.compressor.Compressor.plist

    I had a problem with compressor and the document did the trick. Needs to be followed closely, there is a lot more to compressor then just compressor.

    Thank you all. The Apple thread did the trick. I’d used an App Delete program but obviously it didn’t delete everything. The re-install did the trick so again my thanks.

    The Cow Rocks again!
