Aperture stuck at splash screen after HD ejection.

I am running the latest version of Aperture with the latest version of Leopard. Aperture works fine and never crashes on my Mac Pro. But when I eject a LaCie Firwire 800 drive from the machine I am unable to launch Aperture. This drive has nothing on it related to Aperture, n Vault or Library. I can open Aperture fine without it connected, but as soon as I connect it and eject it, Aperture will only open the splash screen and do nothing else, no beach ball or antything.
Restarting the computer seems to be the only thing that resolves this issue, any thoughts on what this could be?
Thanks!

I have seen Aperture hang at the splash screen because it is waiting for disk devices. It sounds like your mac still thinks the Lacie drive is connected and is waiting for it. How did you eject it? Are you running any kind of soft RAID? How is the disk formatted?
That said, it's Lacie, so anything is possible. I have not seen much good said about their hard drives.

    My MacBook pro is stuck on white screen after shut down. Now, neither this is turn on nor turn off.

    You should be able to turn off your MBP by pressing the power button down continously for about 5-10 sec. When you reboot it you are going to want to enter into a terminal screen. Hopefully the following YouTube video helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKOX72xNmbo

  • Hp Pavilion P6724IT Stuck at HP Splash screen after install of new VGA

    Hello people.
    I buyed a new VGA, a Gigabyte GT740 2GB DDR5, before that i had an Asus GT630 2GB DDR3 and had no problems with it.
    After mounting the new VGA i noticed the computer remains stuck at the initial splash screen with the HP logo.
    Can't even get in to the bios, but if i remove the card and use it's igpu it's all ok.
    I tried to update the bios to the latest version on the HP site (v.7.15) and nothing.
    Tried to install with Windows 8.1, and with windows 7, nothing.
    I tried all things i found on the net of people with the same issue, nothing again.
    If i am fast enough and i press some keys it gets black screen and remains stuck anyway, do some beeps and then go in some kind of standby and if i keep pressed any key it does some cracklin noise.
    Actually i can't afford a new motherboard so i wanted to find out with your help if i can find a solution to the problem, cause it's really frustrating and i spent many time trying to figure it out.
    Sorry for my bad english! 
    Hope someone can help me

  • X305-q706 Stuck on splash screen where is says "Qosmio" with please wait...

    Hi,
    recently bought a Qosmio x305-Q706. First time I booted it up it gets to the splash screen with Qosmio displayed with "please wait" at the bottom and hangs there forever. The only way I can get it to boot is to cold boot it and mash the F12 key while it's loading the splash screen, if i'm lucky I can get into the option where u can choose which device to boot, and if I manually choose the harddrive I can load windows.
    Anyone hear of this issue or how to fix it? I've tried changing settings in the BIOS nothing. To Re-iterate, it's stuck on the pslash screen with Qosmio displayed, and if I press any key on the keyboard once it says "Please wait..." it just brings me to the bios :( .
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello
    It is very stupid situation and I really cannot understand why notebook hangs on this start-up level.
    Somehow is your Qosmio confused and cannot make decision which device should be first bootable device.
    Is some external device connected to your Qosmio notebook?
    Maybe BIOS update can help but if you have brand new notebook this is not solution. This is newest notebook and I presume there is latest BIOS version. So, if I were you I would contact either your local dealer and ask for replacement or Toshiba service directly. This behaviour is definitely not strange and notebook somehow hangs on BIOS POST (Power-On-Self-Test).

  • A135 stuck at splash screen

    Normal shutdown; when i bootm, the comp is stuck at the Toshiba splash screen. F2 won't respond; f12 , if I tap repeatedly wwill say 'entering ..." but stays there (the splash screen.). It is not responding to the recovery disk. Lights say HD, battery, etc. are all good. Ideas?

    1) Try removing only the battery, leave the AC plugged in, power on.
    2) Try unplugging the AC, leave the battery in, power on.
    3) Try unplugging AC, remove the battery, remove both RAM modules, replace one RAM module in a different spot, replace battery & AC, power on. Repeat this process until you have tried each RAM module alone in each slot. See the installing/removing RAM directions starting on page 47 of your Satellite® A130/A135 Series User’s Guide. 
    4) If none of the above works it could be a corrupt BIOS.
    BIOS Recovery procedures
    5) As your system is likely off warranty, perhaps you should consider paying a professional for a diagnostic:
    Locate a Service Center
    Good luck.

  • Toshiba sattelite pro l40 stuck at splash screen

    i was resizing some partitions and when i restart, it freezes at lubuntu starting up, restart again? stuck at toshiba splash screen. if theres no battery and just ac, f2 says enterring setup but stays in splashscreen,with onlly battery f12 says entering boot. and dosent change screen, i tried proper reset but still nothing, recovery cds spin up but the screen dont change.

    I had a similar problem with FCPX sticking at the splash screen, this procedure worked for me.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches and delete the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" file.
    Then launch Logic Pro/Audio Units Manager and rescan all the audio plug-ins.
    FCPX should then startup normally.
    If you don't have Logic Pro/Audio Units Manager try removing third-party audio plugins at ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components

  • Windows 8.1 error code 0xC1900101-0x30017, stuck on splash screen.

    I have a Gateway ZX 4270 series, every time I try to update to windows 8.1, it's stuck on the splash screen. For hours there would just a black screen that says Gateway. Then I would have to restart it, and it would switch back to the regular windows 8.
    When I logged on, the error code 0xC1900101-0x30017 comes up. How could I solve this issue? 

    Most of issue like this regarding BIOS update
    You should follow this document from Gateway to upgrade Windows 8.1

    I suggest you revert back to Windows 8, and ask for technical detail to Gateway regarding this before you update your PC

  • HP Pavilion DV6 - Stuck at Splash Screen and RECOVERY

    So the subject best summarzies whats happening. The "windows starting up" splash screen is stuck and never changes.
    The recovery loades files and then all I get is the mouse on the screen.
    Here's the diagnosis:
    Memory Test: Passed
    SMART: Check Passed
    Short DST: Failed
    Failure ID
    RSPQW2-00071C-XD003G-60R403
    PRODUCT ID
    WQ625UA#ABC
    HARD DISK 1
    =======================
    Start-Up Test : Failed

    DST failed means the hard drive has failed or is failing fast. It will need to be replaced.If you are in warranty HP will send a replacement.If not you can use a retail laptop SATA hdd.Just be sure to get one of at least equal or larger capacity as the original 500gb in order to use Recovery Discs.
     You will also need Recovery Discs to install Windows and software/drivers on the new hdd. Hopefully you have made a set-if not they can be ordered from HP for a small fee.
    If you need more help with selecting a new hdd or replacing it post back.Maintenance & Service Guide here will show how to remove the hdd.

  • Outlook 2013 stuck at splash screen even on safe mode

    I was trying to add in an IMAP account to my Outlook 2013, when it hanged, so I forced-stop it via Task Manager and tried to restart the application. But right now, it's forever stuck at "Loading Profile" the splash screen. I tried to restart it
    in safe mode too, but experiencing the same problem.
    Help?

    Hi altern4te,
    First, perform a clean boot to find out about programs which are interrupting the Outlook. So, you will accurately understand the cause of this hang up.
    It can be antivirus programs or something else.
    For more about clean boot in Windows:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796
    Note:
    As you are not able to open Outlook in safe mode, you cannot disable the add-ins which generally cause behind such types of disturbance.
    Hopefully clean boot method will solve it, otherwise this can happen due to corrupt Outlook Data File or Outlook profile.
    To fix corruption and its issue:

  • Thinkpad X1 Carbon stuck on splash screen

    I bought a new X1 Carbon (20A7) a week ago and from time to time the laptop gets stuck on the ThinkPad splash screen when booting. I have to hold the power button to turn it off and then it boots fine. My brother has this problem with T540p, although this happens to him a LOT more often (also, if he waits patiently for 10-20 minutes, the system boots eventually, I havent tried that on my X1). It doesn't matter if the AC is connected, whether there is something connected to USB ports, whether it was a restart or just normal boot, there is no pattern that I can see, this seems random. We tried updating the BIOS to the newest version, our USB ports are not bent or anything, the SSD with the OS is set as the first boot device. This still happens. I see there are more people with thinkpads who have the similar problem, but their solutions do not apply (if there were any).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK, so I contacted support, Lenovo replaced my SSD drive (wrranty applies) and the problem is gone. The service guy said that SSD Firmware update using Lenovo application may have worked, but I had Ubuntu installed, so I was unable to run it.

  • Lookout 6.6 stuck on splash screen

    Hello,
    I tried starting Lookout 6.6 and I am getting stuck on the splash screen.  This is happening to my server.  I am remotely viewing the computer.  I tried following the below advice from a previous thread and was stopped with error 1061 when restarting.
    "Go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services, restart/start National Instruments Citadel, National Instruments PSP Server Locator and National Instruments Time Synchronization. If you get error or no response in either service, this may be the issue. When lookout starts, it will wait until several services are started."
    My whole system is down because my server isn't running, what can I do to fix this?
    Rob M.

    The error received while loading the application is in the attached image.
