  • Compressor wont start because of Shake/Qmaster!!!!

    Posted by Emma Kjellstrand on January 4, 2009 at 10:42 pm

    Hi!

    I have a major issue here. When I installed Shake I had no clue that Qmaster could give me som major problems.

    Now – what happens is my Compressor wont start! I tried to re-install it and also upgrade it but it still wont work.

    What I have on my computer is
    Compressor v.3.0.5
    Shake v.4.1.1
    Qmaster v.3.0.5
    Macosx v.10.5.6

    Now – ofcourse I need compressor! Qmaster on the other hand I have no use of what I´m aware of.

    Heard that a lot of people had this problem when installing Shake, but I have no answer to the problem and hopes that anyone of you guys can help me!

    Best wishes
    Emma

    Do you have a backup of the hard drive before you installed anything? I once had an issue where a file called “Helium” which is located in the Library-Receipts foler was missing. Finding it on the backup drive and putting it back in there solved the problem.

    Pretty esoteric but could be helpful…

    This is a common problem and there’s a way to fix it. You have to go to a certain system folder using the Mac Terminal and delete some cache files. I don’t know the exact steps but they’re here on the Cow somewhere (try the Compressor board).
