Apple Splash Screen
I'm not quite sure where this should go but I'm going to put it in the OS X forum and hope somebody can help...here's my question
I bought a refurbished Mac Mini and I'm slowly learning that it's not the best thing to do. Anyways who ever had my computer before me disabled the apple splash screen which is ok for a little while but to be honest I really don't care what's going on in the background as my computer starts. So how can i re-enable the Apple splash screen or can I?
Sounds like the system was set to boot up in "Verbose" Mode.
This is a useful diagnostic startup mode. Basically, it is a normal startup, except that it displays all the commands and responses as they are executed.
Normally, the computer uses the Mac logo screen to hide all these from being displayed.
If you would like to see those messages when you startup the computer, you can hold down both the "Command Key" and the letter "V" simultaneously while the computer starts up.
Note that with the method I mentioned above, that you don't have to undo the setting. It will only startup that way if you hold the keys down while the computer boots up.
In your situation, the system has been locked into verbose mode. The first thing I would try is resetting the PRAM. See if that fixes it for you.
Turn off the computer, then turn it on and immediately press and hold all of the following keys simultaneously:
Command (the Apple) - Option - P - R
Keep holding all 4 keys down together until you hear the startup chime 4 times. Then, release the keys and allow the machine to boot.
See what it does during startup.
Then, try restarting and see what happens.
If it is fixed, then great. If it comes back, then it might be an OS setting.
If so, try opening "Terminal" which is the Unix Command Line. This can be launched by going in the Applications folder on your hard drive, then into the Utilities folder, and finally double-clicking on "Terminal".
At the command line / prompt, type in the following:
sudo nvram boot-args=""
If the computer asks you for your password, then enter whatever the password is that you use to authorize system updates, etc. (your regular administrator password).
If you later want to re-enable the verbose mode startup, go to the same place and enter:
sudo nvram boot-args="-v"
Hope this helps you out.
Let us know how this works for you.

Using an IPAD 2 running 5.0.1 is frequently shutting down in the middle of a variety of Apps and showing the Apple splash screen for several minutes. This happens occasionally at inopportune times. Once the splash screen clears it goes back to the logon screen and the App that was open is closed. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a resolution?

I don't think that there is ever a good time for this to occur.
What do you mean the Apple splash screen? You see the Apple logo on the screen?
It appears as though your apps are crashing. Have you tried quitting apps and restarting? Reset the iPad?
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
My iphone 5 was working fine until it recently started to reboot to a messed up splash screen that would flash and have bars across it. When this happened, I couldn't do anything and had to restart it. I was able to start up the phone sometimes, until just recently. Everytime I started up the phone, it would load up the splash screen and then become distorted, flashy, and sometimes colorful and I could not use my phone. To try and fix this, I put it into recovery mode to do a factory restore, but iTunes can't even restore my phone. I even tried DFU mode.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HT4528 BIOS text on splash screen of iphone 4s?
I tried restoring my iphone 4S and got this weird BIOS text coming up on the apple splash screen and can't find any solutions to it. Any ideas on what I can do? I've tried a hard reset and DFU mode. I think I've tried everything short of hitting on my desk or throwing at a wall. Suggestions and ideas are welcome! Thanks!
Something about an improper shut down and borrowing blocks. I don't have time to get the whole message right now but that's the basic message of it

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? -
Lightroom won't boot -I only get the splash screen for a second.
I do have the photographers version of the Creative Cloud which included Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom. Everything was working just fine until I upgraded to Lightroom version 5.6. Now when I try to load LR, the slash screen shows for a second then disappears and LR does not load. This occurs on both my Mac (a Mac Pro and a iMac). I uninstalled LR and had creative cloud reinstall but still the same thing is happening - Splash screen for a second then nothing. Again, this is happening on both Mac's. Photoshop CC 2014 I working just fine.
Before I call Adobe, any ideas here on this issue. BTW, Creative Cloud App states LR in up to date and installed.
Thanks

I have obviously done something to totally screw (er, corrupt) my installation of FCPX as now when I launch the app, I only get the FCPX splash screen and the menu bar. Selecting any option from the Window menu shows me nothing. The splash screen says "Restoring the window layout", but nothing is shown but a large dark gray screen.
Prior to this, I was also unable to view Project List, and I could consistently get FCPX to crash by just trying to Create New Project. I've sent a half-dozen crash reports to Apple tonight. I'm guessing my Project database is corrupt and I will need to take some action to re-create.
Anyone else seen this or know how to get me out of this situation?
Grazie.We are experiencing a similar problem where FCPX loads but just comes up as one large grey window. Our operating system is Lion and I wondered if anyone has had a solution that works in Lion? I couldn't find the same file associations that were described in this thread so I was guessing they were maybe from systems running Snow Leopard? (Primarily, we couldn't find a "Final Cut Pro" layouts folder) Any help is greatly appreciated!
The problem began when one our FCPX projects crashed and then wouldn't reopen. We removed the project and event from the Final Cut folders which allowed FCPX to reopen except that it went to this grey screen rather than showing the windows. Everything else (tool bar, dialog boxes, etc.) is functional. We have re-installed both FCPX and Lion with no improvement. Thanks again. -
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 -

FCP will not start not even a splash screen
I updated my 15" MacBook Pro to OSX 10.6.6 and now none of my Final Cut Pro projects will launch there is not even a splash screen that pops up. When I right click the FCP icon in the dock the only option it gives is to force quit. Has anyone heard of this happening in relation to an OS update?
Okay. I finally got FCS 2 apps and the App Store to coexist, but not without considerable trial and error. There is definitely some bad blood between 10.6.6 and FCS 2 apps. I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact problem since the behavior I experienced with FCP and Compressor was very inconsistent, but I do have some solutions that might work. I don't guarantee they'll all work as they did for me, but it's worth a shot.
1) Try launching FCP and waiting as long as you can when it hangs. Several times, if I waited long enough, the splash screen would magically appear and everything would start up as normal, even after a full minute or so.
2) Delete the Final Cut Pro System ID file and re-enter your serial number after launching FCP. Make sure you have your serial number handy before you try this. The System ID file is located in ~/Library/Application Support/ProApps/. Deleting this file allowed the serial dialogue to come up, and after entering the serial, FCP launched successfully.
3) If you have the time and patience, I highly recommend a totally clean install of 10.6 Snow Leopard and using the 10.6.6 Combo Update to get up to date. I managed to get a working Final Cut Pro and Compressor using this method, even though it was a pain in the ***. Using the Migration Assistant to transfer your files over will not break FCS2 apps. As a precaution, I did not transfer over any of my System Settings with the Migration Assistant. You can find the 10.6.6 Combo update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
From my tests, I think there is some problem in 10.6.6 with how OS X displays custom dialogue boxes, such as the kind that drop down from the menu-bar or FCS's custom dialogue boxes and splash screens. I get hangs in MAS when it tries to display the Apple ID login and FCS upon launching. The behavior is inconsistent, sometimes hanging for 30 seconds, other times indefinitely, and I don't have the technical expertise to understand why. However, I've ruled out a disk error through a clean bill of health from disk utils and running the same OS config from two different hard drives.
Here's what I did:
1. Verified internal hard drive and made a SuperDuper backup of my internal hard drive to an external drive.
2. Wiped internal hard drive, installed 10.6 Snow Leopard, and installed Final Cut Studio from disks.
3. Installed the 10.6.5 combo update. Used Software Update to get all software up to date, but unchecked the 10.6.6 update.
Tested FCP: hang on startup.
4. Deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested FCP again: launched with no problem.
Tested Compressor: launched with no problem.
5. I wanted to test the System ID fix on my old setup. I booted to SuperDuper backup (10.6.6 from Software Update) and deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: hang on startup.
6. Booted to clean-install (now at 10.6.5) and applied the 10.6.6 combo update.
Tested FCP: hang on startup
7. Deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested FCP: initially hung on startup. However, after about 30 seconds, it surprisingly launched with no issues.
Tested FCP: took about 30 seconds to launch (no hang), but eventually displayed splash and launched with no issues.
Tested Compressor: same as above.
8. Migrated data from SuperDuper backup to 10.6.6 clean-install on internal drive using Migration Assistant. Excluded "Settings." I also deleted the System ID before testing.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested Compressor: launched with no problems.
Tested FCP: launched with no problems.
9. I then launched the freshly installed Mac App Store. I clicked "install" for Evernote, and the app hung. However, after a moment, it displayed the Apple ID login drop-down from the menu bar. I entered my credentials and Evernote installed.
Tested FCP: initially hung on startup, then launched without a problem.
Tested FCP: launched without a problem.
Tested Compressor: launched without a problem
10. I decided to try one last little test. I deleted Evernote and launched both the Mac App Store and FCP at the same time. FCP hung on startup. I clicked "install" for Evernote again, and App Store hung. After a moment, though, FCP completed its launch AND the App Store drop-down asking me for my Apple ID appeared at the same time. This interested me, since it seemed to suggest that these were related incidents.
I have some process samples from activity monitor for when FCP hung, if someone would find them useful, but I can't read them at all. Console showed the following whenever FCP hung:

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.
Im using Flashbuilder 4.7 with air 3.9

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. -
I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?
I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

Display dead until splash screen
Kind of an odd problem. For a while the display would not work at all.
Zapped PRAM, Reset, NVRAM, removed ram upgrade and Airport card, no change.
I finally try and boot from the recovery CD's and amazingly, it works again.
Now, it works once it gets inside the GUI. But, from the startup chime to the "Starting Mac OSX" screen, it's dead. I dont get any video at all until I get that blue splash screen. No single user, no verbose boot, no grey boot screen with the apple.
I can boot into OF and Single User modes, and they work, I just get no video at all.
If anyone has an idea of what I can do about it, I'd appreciate a pointer, I'm pretty stuck right now.

10.6 -- All Office 2008 apps hang at splash screen. FontCache Tool runaway
Did an upgrade of 10.5 to 10.6. Nearly everything works fine. Can't launch Office 2008. All apps hang at their splash screen; usually at Optimizing Font Menu Performance.
Once an app is opened, in Activity viewer you'll find a process called FontCache Tool using >90% of the CPU (on my Core Duo MBP at least, YMMV). I suppose it's saying a lot about 10.6 that the computer is completely usable with that runaway process. Even after forcing the office app(s) to quit, Font Cache Tool stays running until it's killed manually.
I have yet to find out if FontCache Tool is an Apple or MS process. I think it's microsoft.
This happens under multiple users.
This happens after reinstalling Office.
This was an Office 2008 upgrade from Office 2004.
After reinstall, and installing Rosetta, office 2004 will run, but office 2008 will not.
Office 2008 is 12.2.1.
I am running FontAgent Pro for font management, and so font book sees certain activated fonts as duplicates. (Validate fonts shows duplicate warnings but no errors). FontAgent Pro 4.0.3 is listed as Snow Leopard compatible. So is Office 2008.
I have yet to do a clean SL install, which I'm guessing will fix it, but I'm curious if there is a sub-sledgehammer approach, or if I am the only person with this issue.
Other probably irrelevant facts include that the computer is bound to both Active Directory and OS X OpenDirectory servers. Open Directory is running on Leopard 10.5 Server. It does have some managed preferences, including those for Office (e.g. to set default to .doc rather than .docx) but the situation persists even after removing those managed preferences.
Normally really specific problems are easy to isolate and solve, but I'm at a loss.
Any help appreciated
keppieHey i think i figured it out.
Had the same prob. 10.6 12.2.1 entourage hanging.
Renamed FCT, instantly prompted that a font was corrupt. Removed the corrupt Font: KufiStandardGK.ttf << this just happened to be my one corrupt font.
A little troubleshooting i did leading up to this, I read your post and my situation was the same. I use Linotype X to manage fonts. I disabled all but the minimum fonts (i moved them into a folder font_trouble in the same folder)
I also deleted every office pref/plist setting i thought relevant to startup which triggered the microsoft setup assistant (watched via the console app) and it ran through its check and then immediately the fontcachetool started and went awol on cpu time. Once i killed it--during the starting up of word and entourage... timing may be unrelated but i did them at nearly the same time.
