Eclipse blank grey dialogue box on startup, fixed with rm of workspace

Hello,
I wanted to get coding today, but.... eclipse isn't starting up like it usually does. The splash screen pops up, it asks where I want my workspace folder, and then a small grey dialogue box pops up. It will never exit on it's own, pressing close does nothing, I have to kill it.
I tried running eclipse in a terminal in the hope it complained about a library error or something, but it's silent, it doesn't say anything back to me when run in a terminal. I'm not sure what other info to give you. It was working yesterday, and today it's not opening. I just shut down my computer after that day and started it up the next and it didn't work. So I removed the .eclipse folder in the hope that would clear some temporary data that was causing it, nothing.
I eventually moved my workspace and let it start fresh, it worked. Unfortunately, I need those files. Can I import the folder to fix this issue? How can I?

I'm experiencing the same problem. Additionally the whole update configuration seems to be damaged. There are no update sites listed anymore (I had quite many).
Furthermore I'm having some other problems (Eclipse icon seems to be missing, Saros plug-in and Gnome Battery Applet doesn't work anymore, no wallpaper on desktop) which all appeard after my update yesterday. Eclipse was updated too.
The following error messages are displayed when I start eclipse via terminal:
(Eclipse:8741): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(Eclipse:8741): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_height: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(Eclipse:8741): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_window_resize: assertion `width > 0' failed
gdk-pixbuf2 was updated too.
In the update log I found this message regarding gdk-pixbuf2:
[2011-06-30 22:58] g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-gif.so: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-gif.so)
(more error messages follow which name the other libpixbufloader-*.so libraries.)
I can't open images anymore because the programs can not recognize the image format.
Therefore this seems to be a problem with gdk-pixbuf2. At least for me. Don't know how to fix this. Will try to downgrade gdk-pixbuf2. Will post results.
EDIT: Yup, that did the trick. At least for all the image related stuff. Eclipse starts fine now, I can see the wallpaper and the battery applet is working now.
Eclipse plug-ins are still messed-up but that's worth a separate topic.
EDIT2: I still can't figure out how that gdk-pixbuf stuff could make eclipse "forget" about the workspace.
Do you know what version last worked? How should I downgrade?

Bresink x86 dialogue box on startup

New iMac 21.5 MD093B/A Dialogue box on every startup
Insecure Start-up item disabled
"/Library/StartUpItems/BRESINKx86 Monitoring"
has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings"
Is this familiar to anyone, or is there an answer?

So, neither of those apps got transferred to your new machine? I have both installed and /Library/StartUpItems/BRESINKx86 Monitoring/ exists. These are the folder's permissions:

HELP! some dialogue boxes disappear off screen (multiple monitor problem?)

For example, I am trying to edit a video. When I click "Edit video timing" under Video menu, the dialogue box cannot be found and Captivate is stuck, unresponsive. The only way to 'un-stuck' CAptivate is by pressing Escape key. I have tried rearranging windows with Mission Control, but the dialogue box is clearly within the same window/workspace as Captive, yet so far below the main window that it remains inaccessible. I cannot figure out to fix this. HELP! This is not the only dialogue box that disappears like this....

Hi there
You might try clearing your preferences file for Captivate.
Look in the folder where Captivate is installed. In that folder should be a Utils folder. There should be a clean preferences file. Try closing Captivate and running that file.
Cheers... Rick

OBPM Studio on windows 7 - trouble viewing window dialogue boxes

Hi
I have recently installed OBPM10g(Version: 10.3.2) on my windows7 64 bit AMD machine using the installable (OracleBPMStudio103200_win.exe).
Unfortunately I get a blank window dialogue boxes when I say File/New/Project. This is very common any kind of dialogue box I open. Some of them do render, some of them won't. Some of the dialogue boxes will start rendering the component if I start using filters on it.
I suspected it might be do with my windows Theme I am using. I have tried couple of other window themes. But it did not help. My colleagues did use the same installable on their windows 7 machines it worked fine.
Except invisible dialogue boxes product seems to work fine. I am able to import a process, publish, and run it properly. But the partially visible dialogue boxes giving me jitters:)
I have also tried increasing the memory to 1GB.
Please let me know if I have to configure anything to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Charan

when i open finder the windown is a completely blank grey box with the title "Window" as a header, and all my folders will not open when c
the problem started when my computer screen broke from something falling on it, the screen was replaced but the people that fixed it for me told me there may be some hard disk issues when a problem like this happens, they ran their own checks and found nothing and i was given my laptop back, then when i tried to use it, i found this problem. everything else works fine.
i have shutdown and re-started my computer multiple times and i have also re-started finder multiple times, both having no effect
i have also done a few other things to find that my apple.com.finder.plist and apple.com.sidebar.plist are both missing, and are not re-creating themselves, i have found no way to bring them back either.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Blank grey boxes instead of photo

I restored my photo library because I had blank grey boxes instead of photo in many event folders. I got all blank grey boxes and the same key picture for almost all my photos.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

I can usually work around it but it's a bit irritating. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Cheers,

have you tried the basics yet? I think deleting preferences would be the place to start.
This link is to some Aperture trouble shooting basics including deleting the preferences file.

"CS5 Service Manager" dialogue box fix.

Hi,
I'm looking for a fix for the "CS5 Service Manager" dialogue box that comes up on a mac, after installing Yosemite. Any ideas how to turn it off or uninstall?

Thanks for the input.
My issue isn’t so much with CC (it’s working fine), but when I open indesignCC I got the message that CS5 Service manager needed a legacy version of java to run.
This issue seems to be a legacy issue going back from CS5. When you click on more info, it just takes you to a blank HTML page.
I went through the Hardrive/Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager Folder... and simply deleted it.
Theres lots more out-dated junk in there. Uninstall doesn't get everything I guess.
Thanks,

Flashing dialogue box appears after startup

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro 2.3GHz i5 4GB and I've noticed recently after startup that a quick dialogue box flashes on screen but I am unable to read or determine if there is something wrong. All that I am able to see is a yellow triangle but am unable to read the text. Can anyone please help explain how I can fix this issue?

Describe the boot sequence in detail and when you see this occur, then what happens afterwards.
I faintly recall something of this nature occuring here before, need my memory jogged a bit so I can find hte keyword to search for it.

10.1.2 Displays grey, blank page (Fixed with 10.1.3)

Adobe 10.1.2 I have the blank grey screen
show large images however is already checked...
what else could cause this?/

Here's a story of how I got this working... kind of a mystery still, but that's what we have to deal with all the time, isn't it?
I had the same problem, installing 10.1.2 caused a blank screen, or a stuck progress bar, when loading PDFs in IE9. The PDFs in question are dynamically generated with IText, embedded in html via a <object> tag, and served up via Jboss (Tomcat) 5.1.0. There were no issues in Firefox. We also had several users report similar issues with IE8.
What seemed to fix it (at least on my local environment) for me was to, add a Content-Length header with the file size, remove the compressableMimeType="application/pdf" in the server configuration.
However, on a different environment, it still wasn't working (grey screen, stuck progress bar in IE), so I set a debug point. The download method was being called 3 times - I had several Cache-Control headers set in an attempt to prevent caching. Removing these headers seemed to help, now the download method is being called only once, or sometimes twice. I found a MS article I found that seemed relevant: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293792
Possibly the multiple-request, user-agent='contype' thing with IE is really screwing up the new version of the plug-in. I read the MS article, added a check for user-agent='contype' and returning only the Content-Type header instead of the whole document -- seemed to improve things.
However several PDF form elements were still screwed up - missing submit button, combo box fields with missing options.
Latest update: This combo of configurations seems to be working on both firefox and IE9 with reader 10.1.12:
1. removed content-length, it was causing other problems
2. added check for user-agent='contype' and returning only headers
3. removed cach-control headers
4. compressableMimeType = 'application/pdf' is enabled in Tomcat config
My hunch is #2 was the real problem, would need further testing to know for sure.

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal

Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
Thanks
Terry

Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

Photos not downloading to app. Getting blank grey boxes instead.

Hello,
I recently had the need to log out of iCloud to troubleshoot an issue on my iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1.2.
In the photos app, I've got iCloud Photo Library turned on, most of my photos downloaded fine, however, there are several dozen that are showing up as blank grey boxes. If I tap on one, it goes full screen and a little progress circle appears, then hangs up a quarter of the way competed.
I received a new iPhone 6 Plus the day before yesterday, also on ios 8.1.2, and when I logged into all my accounts on it, all the photos downloaded to it without issue. None were missing or grey.
Anyone have any ideas why these photos aren't downloading properly to my iPad?
I've tried both rebooting and a hard reboot (home+ power).
I really would like to avoid having to log out of iCloud again, or restore the iPad,, since it literally takes 15-18 hours for all my data to sync back to the device, most need ing manual intervention to speed up the process, ie launching apps and letting them stay open until all data is synced, then launching the next app, and so on. For example, my collection of photos has 10,974 images and videos, so that alone takes hours and hours to sync.

Yes, the photos are/were on iCloud.com, in addition to, my iPhone 6 Plus. All the photos, except for the newest images, are backed up in iPhoto. I uploaded my entire photo library into the iCloud Photo Library because of the compression, where 98gigs of photos only take up only 28gigs on my iCloud Drive and 9gigs on my iDevices. Can't beat having all your photos in your pocket.
That being said, I knew there would be issues, as iCloud Photo Library is in beta. Moreover, I have found iOS 8 and Yosemite to be the buggiest and most frustrating software releases I have dealt with since the initial release of OS X, back in 2001.
Sad to say that, "It just works," cannot be used to describe the current state of Apples software.
So, I still have over 10,000 images, loosing 108 images isn't really all that big a deal. I just hope it doesn't continue to happen.
On a side note. I have a lot of issues trying to share images with shared folders. I create and name a shared folder. I add people. Then I open the folder, hit the big plus, select photos, hit done, and nothing happens. Sometimes I can get it started by selecting only one photo. Other times I try it on a different device to get it to work. It only works about 60% of the time. It's so frustrating, I'm looking for alternatives.

When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still

When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still persists. How can I fix it? thank you.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck
