Can't fully launch beyond splash screen, corrupted database?

I'm using a MacPro with LR v1.2, OS v10.4.10. A few days ago, I got the spinning beachball while in LR, had to Force Quit. When I tried to relaunch, I could only get the splash screen and menu.
Each time I launch LR, I backup. Every other day or so I optimize the database from Catalog Preferences. I had added about 700 photos a few days earlier, for a total of about 8,700.
I've gone to the Adobe LR knowledge base, followed their instructions for going back to an earlier backup, but though I've gone back some days, one by one, from the day I had the problem I still only get perhaps one photo, the rest grayed out, immediately. If I wait some time, some previews will start showing up (so far for at least one folder of photos after perhaps 20 minutes).
Is it just a matter of waiting long enough for the previews to show up or do I have to go much further back in my backups to find one which will have all the photos show up right away (normal behavior)?

This sounds very similar to problems we are having in the thread called "Lightroom no longer opens," http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c0540fe/10
It might be worth it to try the solution that is described there, Especially since you have so many back ups. I have to finish some editing before I try it myself to restore my 65,000 image catalog.

Launch a splash screen when an iPhone app starts

Hi, I am trying to make a simple game for the iPhone, and when the app launches, I want a splash screen with instructions to come up. I also want the user to be able to push anywhere on the screen to dismiss it. However, the splash screen doesn't load! I made a new nib file with the splash screen, created a view controller, and a UIView subclass for the screen. Then, I inserted this code into the applicationDidFinishLaunching method of the app delegate:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
[window addSubview:[splashViewController view]];
splashViewIsCurrentView = YES;
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
if(splashViewIsCurrentView) {
[[splashViewController view] removeFromSuperview];
[window addSubview:[gameViewController view]];
splashViewIsCurrentView = NO;
I forgot to mention, in interface builder, I made the splash view's class as SplashView, and the File's Owner as the SplashViewController. Also, splashViewIsCurrentView is a boolean I made.

I like the idea behind your use of "splashViewIsCurrentView". I think that may solve my problem.
I too have a full-screen instruction view pop up over the main input view of the app. The instruction view is added as a subview of the main input view. I want to dismiss the instruction view with a touch. However, in the instruction view view controller, the touch even methods are not fired - even after twiddling with enabling user interaction on the instruction view and its subviews of label and fiddling with their frame sizes. While the instruction view is displayed over the main input view, the touch events are actually still associated with the main input view (and its controls) underneath. Seems like I am forgetting something but i don't know what.
Your solution will probably work well and it is similar to what I was originally doing in handling the touch events in the main input view view controller. However, technically, it seems kludgy to not be able to handle the touch events in the instruction view view controller where it seems to make more sense to do so.
Would you or anyone else know why or have any suggestions on things to look out for? The view and controls involved are all supposed to be descendants of UIResponder. Is there a bug or restriction I'm not aware of? Wondering why you went the route you did. Seems like you may have run up against what I am currently facing.

AIR 3.9 as3 IOS app stuck on launch / loading / splash screen

When deploying an app to ipad2 ios7/iphone4 ios6/iphone5 ios7 the app doesnt get past the loading/splash screen.
Ive tried debugging on the device via usb but doesnt even hit the first breakpoint on the firtst line of code. Also deployed via testflight with the same result ie stuck on the loading screen.
I released the app in December but the app freezes on the loading screen from the app store!!?? Ive no idea how this passed apple testing etc and it previosly worked. ..Has anyone got any advice on how to debug this or does anyone know what could be the problem?
Ive now created a VERY simple app for testing, this includes all icons etc and just displays some text in a text box. This also freezes on the loading screen.

It might have something to do with the new way iOS7 shows the last active screen of an app as a screenshot and optionally replaces it with the running app, if the app had been killed in the background. That way, it seems that more apps are running concurrently than the device supports. There's often a flicker showing the real app behind the splash screen WHEN I minimize a stuck splash screen.

PE3 installs on Vista 64; nothing runs beyond splash screen

I'm trying to install Premiere Elements 3.0 on my new Vista 64-bit machine. Nothing happens once the splash screen disappears. Here are the details:
- The PC has 4G RAM, full system updates applied, etc.
- I installed, in order:
- Quicktime
- PE3
- PE 3.0.2 update
I checked Event Viewer. Everythng had installed correctly, except Adobe Help Center (error 1063), so I ran the Help Center installer by itself (from F:\Premiere Elements\help center); this time, it installed correctly.
Unfortunately, running PE3 gets me nowhere. I get the splash screen (which indicates "v3.0.2" and "Windows XP; multi processor detected", a good sign). The last item displayed on the splash screen is "Loading Wave_Warp.AEX", then the splash screen disappears and... nothing.
Event Viewer shows no error message whatsoever. I also tried deactivating XP compatibility in the PE application's Properties -> Compatibility tab; same result.
What else can I do to make PE3 run on this machine? Many thanks for your help.

There is very likely to not be a patch, especially for a program that is several years, and versions old. No one at Adobe could anticipate, much less program for, a new OS, that is quite different in all respects from that which was available upon release of PE3.
Yes, it can be frustrating when either software, or hardware, are rendered obsolete, however it happens constantly, and will, so long as each gets changed to take advantages of improvements in technology.
In real world terms, PE7 is the current Vista "patch" for PE3. I'm using CS2 PrPro (Production Suite) on my XP-Pro workstation. I want to go to CS4, but to get the full benefit from it, I need to upgrade my workstation and go to Vista-64, or Win7, when released. Talk about an investment in both time and $'s.
For some older 3D paint programs, I had to build a special computer and use WinME, just to run them. Most of the gear was then state-fo-the-art, but I could only use 512MB of RAM, and had to install a much older (and pretty lousy) OS. I needed and used those programs enough to justify that expense. Heck, just getting a 512MB stick, at that late a date, was tough, but necessary.
Good luck,
Hunt

Updated to FCPX 10.2, can't get past splash screen

So, I got through a batch of projects, and finally upgraded to FCP 10.2
After installation, I can't get past the splash screen. I'm asked, via a dialogue box, if I wish to update my libraries / events. I do.
Then... I see rapid fire text loading and then updating libraries / events. Then it gets stuck on a particular event... beach ball... nothing.
I've tried several times, and it gets stuck on a random event.
I can't get past the splash screen. I've rebooted. Still nothing.

Generally, if FCP opens under one account but not another, the issue is a corrupt preference in the non-functioning users account.
While in your user account, download and intall FCP Rescue (google it to find it), open it up (with FCP not running) and TRASH your preferences.
Try FCP again.

Launching Splash Screen on the click of a button

Situation: I have an application running, and when the user clicks a button on the main menu, a new dialog opens.
Problem: This dialog takes awhile to load as it is retreiving information from the database etc ... hence I would like to launch a splash screen in one thread and the other dialog in a second thread.
Following is the Splash Screen class:
public class SplashScreen extends JWindow {
    public SplashScreen(int d) {
        duration = d;
        this.launchSplash();
    public void launchSplash() {
        JPanel content = (JPanel) getContentPane();
        content.setBackground(Color.white);
        // Set the window's bounds, centering the window
        int width = 350;
        int height = 255;
        Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        int x = (screen.width - width) / 2;
        int y = (screen.height - height) / 2;
        setBounds(x, y, width, height);
        // Build the splash screen
        JLabel label = new JLabel();
        label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("loading.gif")) );
        label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
        content.add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        // Display it
        this.setVisible(true);
        // Wait a little while, maybe while loading resources
        try {
            Thread.sleep(duration);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        this.setVisible(false);
//        System.exit(0);
//    public static void main(String[] args) {
//        // Throw a nice little title page up on the screen first
//        SplashScreen splash = new SplashScreen(10000);
//        // Normally, we'd call splash.launchSplash() and get on
//        // with the program. But, since this is only a test...
//        System.exit(0);
//    }When I run this as a standalone, it works fine (i.e. uncomment the 'main' function). But when I try to call it from another function, it doesn't launch.
Eg: I am calling it when a button has been clicked. Code is as follows:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     SplashScreen sd = new SplashScreen(10000);
     // Calling the dialog (that takes a long time to load) here
}Would like to know whether
[1] is it possible to launch a splash screen on the click of a button? As usually a splash screen is done at the beginning of an application before anything is loaded. In my case an application is already running, during which a splash screen needs to be launched.
[2] Would using the new splashscreen class of Java 6.0 support this?
[3] If not what is the best way to approach this problem
Appreciate any input.
Thanks,

Thanks Michael_Dunn, I see what you mean.
I know this is not exactly as you suggested, but when I tried the following I got a partial solution. Just wanted to know whether I am on the right track.
I wrote a small class for the thread
public class cSplashScreenThread extends Thread {
    public volatile boolean finished = false;
    public cSplashScreenThread(){
// override run() method in interface
    public void run() {
       SplashScreen sd = new SplashScreen(10000);
    }This calls the SplashScreen(code encl in earlier post).
In the main application I added the following
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// SPLASH SCREEN
//                    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
//                        public void run() {
                            cSplashScreenThread sd = new cSplashScreenThread();
                            sd.start();
                            sd.finished = true;
// DIALOG
                    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                      DialogToCall tempDialolog = new DialogToCall(.......);
                            tempDialolog .setVisible(true);
:When I run this in the application, the SplashScreen does indeed appear(earlier I wasn't able to see the splashScreen), and I notice (when I put a breakpoint at the pt where it calls the dialog), that it is going and creating the dialog etc, but the dialog never appears ...... after the splash screen closes, nothing else happens!
Could you please guide me on what best to do?
Thanks,

Captivate 5 crashes after splash screen

I've downloaded the trial version of Captivate 5 and every time I try to start the program, I can't get passed the splash screen.
I'm running:
Win7 Home Premium, 64-bit
i5 2.27 GHz
4 GB RAM
350+ GB memory available
Upon initial launch, program crashed and produced an error message: "Adobe Captivate is not responding." I changed the AdobeCaptivate.exe file properties to "Run this program in compatibility for: (tried all options)" and "Run this program as an administrator" and no luck. Making the file compatible to a previous OS version caused the file to simply freeze (rather than crash) but prevented the Trial Activation prompt when operating as compatible for versions earlier than Vista.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling 6 times, after following various recommendations on potential fixes. Have also tried:
Cleaner tool - http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
AdobeNotificationsDllFieldReplacementTool.exe
Deleting the "amt3.log" file from the temp folder (saw this in a previous post, I guess to look for process errors)
The only "error" message listed in the entire amt3.log file is "Sequence Error! PreValidate called after Validate!" towards the very end of the log sequence. I'm at the end of my rope here. I almost purchased Captivate 5 without downloading the trial version first. I'd still like to purchase it but not if I can't even get the trial version to work.
Someone please help. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to this forum.
It sounds like you've tried most of the usual fixes for this installation issue.
I'm only a regular user like yourself but I know that the Adobe developers watch this forum closely for any issues like the one you're having. They'll usually chime in pretty quickly to offer assistance via some kind of screen sharing session so that they can investigate what's happening.
Stay tuned and be patient. Help is on the way, but even developers need a weekend.

Want to hide or mod FCP 6 Splash Screen

Just want to hide the splash screen on my FCP system. I rent it to indy projects and I want to protect my serial. How can I access the Splash Screen Image? I've been able to mod the splash screen on all the other apps on the rental system but can not find or get to the Splash Screen for Color and FCP 6. I know that a real hacker can find my serial some how but I am not trying to block those geniuses. Just the lazy ones that are willing to go as far as copying or screen grabbing my Splash Screen and or About Screens to get a working serial. I know how to mod the Splash Screen to hide my serial and how to hide the app so the user can't get to the splash screen. I just don't know where the splash screen file is. I've read that it is in the .nib files? I just wanna hide my serial. Don't care if I mod it myself or install an app that does it for me. Any apple people or anyone else know what I can do to protect my product. I've also been told that the splash screen does not display the full serial but it soo totally does. Hey apple, please add the ability to hide this splash screen. Perhaps with it's own password to unlock and show again? OR, make splash screen hiding a universal ability in the OS. That would be sweet! Anyway,... ideas?

Hey all. I have been able to mod the splash screen on all the apps in FCP Studio 2 except for FCP and Color. The other studio apps Splash Screens access a .psd file. The only files I've found in Color that seem like they might be the splash screen files are ft_splash.Isi, ft_splashEDU.Isi, ft_splashNFR.Isi and ft_splashVOL.Isi
How do I open a .Isi file? If I can figure that out I can hide the serial number for Color but it still leaves FCP. Why do apps show the serial on the splash screen at all? What purpose does this serve?

What is a Splash Screen?

Hi,
Been told as part of a university assignment i need to have a 30secs introductry Splash screen?
What is a splash screen?
Any tutorials on how to make them?
Thanks
Sam

a splash screen is a useless site component that was popular in the late 90's. a splash screen or intro is a boring and tiresome animation that drives users of your site away and makes your site virtually unsearchable by search engines. most commonly these splash screens are accompanied by a "skip intro" button which implies that intro itself is not important and can easily be skipped. Splash screens usually consist of logos spinning and scaling while useless text fades in and out. Examples of such text might be
prepare yourself

never before has the internet

between each phrase there is upwards of 5 seconds of wait time to leave the user literally teetering on the edge of their seat.

Flash is great for animation but needs to be used in the proper context.

How to deactivate splash-screen offering "edit" / "organize"?

I have just updated (on Mac OS X) to version 9. I don't want to use the Adobe Organizer, which seems to be new in this version. I never want to see it or use it, I just want to edit photographs.
How can I jump over the splash screen straight into Photoshop Elements when I start the program?
Thanks!

You made an alias to the wrong file. Go into applications and you'll see this:
You want to drag the one without the version number or the little arrow on the lower left corner into the dock. That's the actual program. The one below it is an alias for the Welcome Screen.

Splash screen on startup

How can I show a startup splash screen when my air app opens?
Preferably like a traditional splash screen, meaning just a
rectangular box without any window chrome, etc, containing a logo
image and some info text.
thanks

I'm not sure about any out of the box splash screen, but you
get the same functionality by:
1. Set <visible>false</visible> in -app.xml
2. Create an mxml component (SplashWin.mxml) with
mx:TitleWindow as the base class and add your controls to display
message.
3. add creationComplete event handler for WindowedApplication
4. In creationComplete event handler, create a SplashWin
popup like the following:
var splash:TitleWindow =
TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, SplashWin, false));
5. In the SplashWin close handler
PopUpManager.removePopup(this) ;
and set
Application.application.visible = true;
You can use Timer class in SplashWin to close the Splash
screen automatically after certain milli secs
Hope that helps.

IOS launch screen / splash screen shift

Hi All,
I've implemented launch screen images, including [email protected], and am testing on an iPhone 4.
When I disable my splash screen (i.e. I don't set the app's splashScreenImage prop) the launch image displays briefly, then I get a blank white screen for multiple seconds while my app loads.
If I enable the splash screen, like this...
splashScreenImage = "@Embed('[email protected]')"
the app displays the image continuously, first as iPhone launch screen, then as AIR splash screen, but when it switches from launch screen to splash screen the image is displayed about 19 pixels lower than it was when displayed as launch screen.
This happens with splashScreenScaleMode set to both "stretch" and "zoom".
I can provide two different images, instead of using the same image, and make most of the shift invisible to the user, but there are two problems with this approach:
It's obviously kludgy. It would be nice if this just worked.
I'm fairly sure that even if I get this to look good on iPhone 4, it will look bad on iPhone 5, and vice-versa. If we could use different splash screen images for 4 and 5 we could kludge a fix that way, but I don't believe that that's possible.
Two questions:
Any suggestions?
Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks,
Douglas

Hi Colin,
> Might be worth doing a trace of the scale mode, just out of curiosity.
I've done some googling and set a few breakpoints - all indicate that Flex apps have a default scale mode of NO_SCALE.
If I could configure my app to use SHOW_ALL immediately at startup, that might solve the spash screen problem. I could then change the mode back to NO_SCALE in my app's preInitialize handler, which I'd probably want to do as SHOW_ALL would probably be problematic when the app started to display.
That would be an interesting experiment, but I don't see any way to configure a Flex app to begin with any scale mode other than the default, so I'm at a dead end there.
I don't fully understand what you're suggesting re using a SWC. Looks like we're running up against the Flex-nonFlex divide.
> I don't know how Flex users solve the problem of getting the stage to be in a particular state right away.
We let the framework handle this for us, and don't think about it, which is great, until it isn't.
Or, to put it another way, I think that we may not have much control over this in a Flex app.
I'm imagining a possible strategy of creating a non-Flex AIR app and having it load my Flex SWF, but I'm not sure it's a good investment of my time to research/attempt this. For one thing I'm not _sure_ that I'll have a problem on iPhone 5. I'll find some way to test this, and postpone worrying about this until I'm sure that I actually have a problem.
But thanks a lot for all your input - this(scale mode, etc) is good stuff to be aware of.

Splash Screen and not beyond... Closes abruptly? PE8 WinXP SP2

Splash Screen and not beyond... Closes abruptly? PE8 WinXP Professional SP2:
I got a lot of good info from the forum today, I do not have the internet at my house, which has added to this $100+ headache so I'm gonna try some stuff tonight and check back here tommorrow.
1. I would have tried uninstalling and re-installing but it came up with some serial number message, because I can't register online from my home I don't want to get locked out of the program or something, hey, it could happen knowing all this security crap.
2. I get the splash screen like others have, but I don't get the actual program: Premiere Elements 8, it runs through all the plugins on the application startup screen and then closes w/o any explanation.
3. After trying to get things working, "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" is taking up 100+ mb ram in the background. What is this thing?
so far annoyed, but hopeful, still love my other Adobe Apps.
Feel free to address anything, I apreaciate it!! Even links to other articles, hopefully I'll figure it out tonight, I will post success / failure.
Thanks,
Robb

I want to add as much info as I can:
*Splash screen shows up, but only the video/image viewer/manager hub or whatever is able to open.
*I can open up the Premiere Elements program to the intro loading screen, once it loads the plugins it closes.
*I've tried every possible combination within the video manager hub thing to access the Video editing (Elements) software, it may show the loading screen then it closes with nothing, (the video manager remains open still).
Installed: Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 from DVD 1, I did not install templates from Disc 2 or whatever.
*"Single Processor Detected" (I think that's what it said)
*I set up Service Pack 2, because it wouldn't let me install until I did this.
*I have Windows XP Professional
*I have plenty of HardDrive space. Don't think RAM is a problem.
What I'm going to do tonight:
*Install latest Quicktime 7.something, (downloaded on 11-01-09) from Quicktime.com
*Uninstall the unnessesary driver file mentioned in another post. (or disable it by renaming it)
*Hold shift key while opening program to clear cache, I read that somewhere.
*Possibly re-install software, hopefully I could get back in with my Serial.
-I printed out Trouble shooting section from Adobe.com.
Please leave suggestions, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will benefit.

Can't fully launch beyond splash screen, corrupted database?
