Flash Preloading - Not Simple

I am new, but to the extent that I have a full flash site
that works great. I cannot get any preloaders to work. Lets be
honest, I cannot even begin. Everyone assumes an expert, even the
'simple flash preloader' sites.
Why not just use the component in Flash CS3? Why can't Adobe
help with this instead of sending me to google to get preloader
ideas? Why is the WMODE=transparent command not recommended if you
want transparency (as a supposive fix to the white box)? Preloaders
are not simple for non-developers.
Simply, I have a background.jpg in an HTML document. I load a
flash in a table on top. It shows white in the table before the
flash loads. Adobe's answer is to use a preloader. OK. Great. I
found several, all of which insert so many variables that I can't
tell what is really a variable or not. I have no desire to become a
preloader retailer....OK? I just need a preloader. Explicatives
removed. I simply want to load literally "video1.swf" without
getting a white box. A progress bar would be nice. Will this be a
seperate flash (swf), or will it be inserted in the timeline as
seperate layers in the timeline to play before the original frames?
Must I combine my original video1 file into a movie symbol, then
manipulate it in another timeline with a preloader?
Please do not assume ANYTHING. I need to get this done once
and for all.
Please, just make it simple. Attached is some code I found.
Can it be edited to work with the "ProgressBar" in CS3? If there is
an option, a seperate swf would be better as I have several pages
that are setup the exact same way.
Thank you.

Seeing white is nothing to do with a preloader - set the bg
of your movie to
other than white. If you're using something like SWFObject to
embed your
Flash in the HTML, make sure it's not set to a white bg also.
Aside from that a preloader is not too difficult to build -
and the code you
gave as a sample is bad code, which is likely the source of
your problems. I
don't have Flash 9 yet, but in 8 you would want to use the
MovieClipLoader
class to load in your swf. It has an onLoadProgress method
that you can make
use of to build a progress bar.

Flash Preloader Not Working with Local Files?

Hello all,
I have created a digital resumé using a Flash
presentation. The presentation links to several SWF files that are
rather large. I have designed and implemented preloaders for the
files.
My intent is to burn the whole product to CD for
distribution. The problem I am having is that my Flash preloaders
work perfectly in FireFox; I click the button in the main
presentation and the preloader comes up in the target screen,
followed by the SWF.
However, the preloaders do not work at all in IE, which
leaves a black pane with nothing in it and causes the user to click
the button several times trying to figure out why nothing is
happening.
The Flash presentation that is being displayed is embedded in
a HTML document. The user clicks a button to load a SWF to a
separate screen; the preloader runs until the file is loaded.
Any help you could provide is appreciated.

I have attached the actionscript for the data connection. The
odd thing about this issue is some of the data is being displayed
from the webservice call and then some is not. The drop down list
is not being populated but I am getting some text in a textarea
that is on the form. My datasource is a SQL Server database and in
ColdFusion administrator, I used the actual machine name to point
to the datasource because it is directly linked to my web server.
This configuration is the one giving me problems. If I change the
datasource to my test SQL Server (server.somewhere.com) it works
fine. Does this help any?

Flash preloader not showing

Hi,
I have an odd problem, I've used a very basic preloader for my Flash file (CS5) it works as expected in Flash Test using the simulated download feature but when I upload everything to the remote server, the preloader doesn't show, there is a delay while the file loads then the animation plays but no sign of the preloader.
To look, go here: http://www.rotricconstructions.com.au/#construction_home click on the Clients tab then click "Click here to view project examples" a jQuery box to the left contains the Flash file a photo slideshow.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Maybe the proloader is taking much longer to load than the other stuff in the game. Maybe.

Flash Preloader not working anymore

The final and most crucial part to completing a project I
have is the preloader. When I first developed this, the preloader
worked fine. a 1.7MB file later, it shows a blank screen, and then
the preloader shows 100% and the page loads.
I was given advice to have the movie clips not be exported to
the first frame, but have them elsewhere in the movie. Problem with
that is that they stop working if I do that.
Anyway, here's my code. Hopefully someone can figure out why
it's not appearing while it loads!
stop();
loadingBar._yscale = 1;
var loadingCall:Number = setInterval(preloadSite, 50);
function preloadSite():Void {
var siteLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var siteTotal:Number = _root.getBytesTotal();
var percentage:Number = Math.round(siteLoaded/siteTotal*100);
loadingBottle._yscale = percentage;
percentClip.percentDisplay.text = percentage + "%";
percentClip._y = loadingBottle._y + loadingBottle._height;
bytesDisplay.text = "loaded " + siteLoaded + " of " +
siteTotal + " bytes";
if (siteLoaded >= siteTotal) {
clearInterval(loadingCall);
_root.gotoAndPlay("Movie", 1);
}

This is normally a hardware issue. You should contact Apple and discuss what options you have. As one last effort, you could attempt to Restore the iPhone and set it up as a new device. If the problem continues after doing this, then it is most likely a hardware issue.

Adobe Flash CS6 Image Filling Preloader not working?

I'm trying to make a flash preloader using a image that slowly fills up.
I used the tutorial on this site:
http://flashexplained.com/preloaders/creating-a-preloader-for-your-flash-site-using-the-im age-of-a-bottle-and-a-rectangular-mask/
I tried following the instructions until I finished and saw it wasn't working correctly. When i tried testing by simulating internet speed the screen showed blank for the first few seconds until the image loaded already half-way filled up. It's supposed to load completely transparent and slowly fill up from the bottom.
So, I downloaded the source file from the tutorial link i showed above to see if i had dont something wrong while following the instructions only to find it happens there too... I uploaded a video of my screen on Youtube to show what is happening to me:
Does anybody know why this is happening? Could it maybe be because I'm using the newer Adobe CS6? Any help is appreciated.

The code is:
stop();
rectMask_mc._height = 1;
this.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
          var loadedData:Number = this.getBytesLoaded();
          var allData:Number = this.getBytesTotal();
          var percent:Number = Math.round(loadedData/allData*100);
          rectMask_mc._yscale = percent;
          if (loadedData>=allData) {
                    gotoAndStop(10);
                    delete this.onEnterFrame;
I did a little testing and noticed when I deleted the line "rectMask_mc._height = 1;" it still does the same filling animation I got before that starts halfway.. so I'm guessing that command no longer works in CS6?!
Edit:
I just tried the "rectMask_mc._height = 1;" command by itself and it works...
I'm sorry im just new to Flash, trying to learn the basics and reading up on tutorials but they are all outdated so I'm trying to figure out whats the problem with it not loading with its height at "1" then filling up when I'm using the entire code. The height command only works when I delete the rest of the code.

Preloader Not Loading Until The Start of Lesson In Captivate 7

I created a Scorm 2004 compliant lesson using Captivate 7. The file size is ~7MB. When I load and run the lesson on our LMS I don't see the preloader until 3-4 seconds before the file loads. I'm staring at a blank screen for about 45 seconds before anything happens. I have the preloader set at 10% but I can't get it to work.
I loaded the file to one of our FTP sites and ran it on an html page and it does the same thing.
Our customers are asking us why there is no indication that the lesson is loading and all I can say is it's a problem with Captivate 7.
I upgraded to 7 because I was told the problem was fixed, but it's still bad.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, it's set to look in the Cp7 preloader folder. I found this on a Captivate website and I think it answers the question.
"As mentioned, preloaders are only really applicable for HTM/SWF output. But what you may not realize is that they will only work if the content is served from a web server over HTTP. Conversely, the preloaders will NOT work if the same content is served up from a LAN server drive over TCP/IP. This is due to the fact that SWF preloaders need to communicate with the server to calculate and show the percentage of file currently loaded. This communication works with web servers, but not with LAN servers."
Unfortunately, Cp7 preloader is going to work on our LMS. I'm going to build a preloader class in Flash and call the Cp7 swf using that.
Thanks for your help

If you still have Captivate 6 on your PC, then make sure that the preloader in this Cp7 project is not pointing at a folder in the Cp6 install directory. It should be using a Cp7 preloader.

Flash 8 not recognizing fonts

I'm experiencing difficulties with Flash 8 not recognizing
the majority of a font family.
Its strange because Photoshop & Illustrator recognize
them & display them just fine.
The fonts involved my project include:
Helvetica
Helvetica Compressed
Helvetica Condensed
Helvetica Black
Helvetica Light
Helvetica Extra Compressed
Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica Neue
Helvetica Ultra Compressed
Of this list, Flash 8 is only recognizing:
Helvetica
Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica Neue
So at this point I'm having to literally type EVERYTHING out
in Illustrator, export swfs, and import them into Flash.
This is obviously time consuming and makes simple text
changes a pain.
I'm leaning towards the fact that this is a corrupt font
issue, yet these fonts are available in every other software I've
tried them in.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Any thoughts??
Thank you!!!
-eric

I was having the same problem, with other fonts. I tried what brianimator suggested and it made it worse. Half of my fonts are now again gone. I can't take this anymore... worse of all, verdana is still MIA.
Those fonts are all in system/library/fonts, they just don't work with Flash and only Flash. I'm ready to shoot myself soon. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas, anyone?
PS: I have an iMAC OSX 10.5.7 and I run Adobe CS4 (fonts are recognized in all other applications)

Flash Object not viewable within page

Hello, I've been having trouble adding a Flash content into pages (which I'm quite innexperienced at). My homepage for example, is supposed to be a flash site. But for some reason it does not play when inserted to an incredibly simple webpage, as you can see here; www.ethanguillemette.com
Instead of the flash site appearing, there is simply an empty white box. Now interestingly enough, the flash object is fine in and of itself, and can be viewed without problem (albeit far too large!) here; http://www.ethanguillemette.com/flashsite.swf
The following is the code for the index page. Pretty much all I did was create a wrapper, center it, and add a background color:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Does anyone know what hairbrained thing I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!

Just as general info I'd like to add a couple of my observations.
There seems to be a number of very similar problems popping up in other Forums recently related to this same issue. I'm thinking that a recent Flash pluggin update is causing some of these problems.
For example, I can't see the .swf files in either of hans links... I haven't updated my Flash pluggin for awhile (10.0.45.2). OK, I can understand if I can't view the .swf.
But here is a similar problem posted over in the Flash Forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/868573?tstart=0
I get a "download latest pluggin" message when attempting to view the posters page:
http://www.brendaportfolio.co.uk/test.html
However, I can direct download the .swf and view it just fine.
So the problem is not that I don't have the correct version pluggin for that particular .swf, but rather that I don't have the correct pluggin as required by the embedding code used, specifically:
<param name="swfversion" value="11.0.0.0" />
older versions of his .swf/pages used an embed method calling for older version of "swfversion" as a param, those work just fine.
So my guess is that in this posters case, the newer version pluggin IS required for his .swf, since I can't view the page. The old CS3 version, which used the old "AC_FL_RunContent" embed method only called for version 9 pluggin, while the .swf itself requires the latest pluggin.
Perhaps a lesson to be learned is that when creating Flash content, you may not want to always develop for the very latest version of Flash Player, since not everyone has updated their browers. A second lesson/observation is that the embed method used in CS5 (swfobject_modified.js) seems to be putting the cart before the horse, requiring the latest pluggin update even if the .swf does not need it.
Now I am all for using .swfobject, but NOT to display the Flash. swfobject is not needed, nor required to display Flash on a Web page. If the Web browser has the Flash pluggin a .swf will display just fine with some simple code like this:
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
<param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
<param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>
no other code, swfobject, or AC_FL_RunContent needed.
The purpose if using .swfobject is to provide Flash detection (not Flash display) and display alternate content if the Flash pluggin is missing or not up to date. But it appears now that the version of .swfobject used in CS5 has incorporated "get the latest version pluggin no matter what" rather than "get the appropriate pluggin for this .swf".
And yet one of the most powerful features of .swfobject is the most overlooked and underused, that of allowing you to create alternate content for SEO purposes. That alt content can completely remedy I Know Nothing at all's concerns:
On another note, you are aware that a 100 % Flash navigated site is the worst thing you can do from an SEO standpoint right?
From an old post:
If you think that Flash is somehow bad for SEO, it's time to dispell that MYTH!
If fact, in some circumstances I'll use Flash INSTEAD of just HTML because then I'll have better SEO than with just HTML alone.
http://www.worldbarefootcenter.com/
The link to World Barefoot Center in the above post is just one example. View the source code and you see a couple paragraphs of text along with regular HTML links.... but what displays is the Flash version of the image and Flash links.
The client provided the artwork for the page... and that's what they wanted to use a .jpg image. Well yes, that could be done in HTML but it would be virtually invisible to Google. So Instead I converted the image into a Flash .swf and used swfobject to display the Flash. swfobject allows you to create alternate content inside the <div> which also holds the Flash .swf, then when the page is loaded it detects if the browser has the Flash pluggin. If it does, it displays just the Flash content, if not, it displays the alternate content. Since almost everyone has the Flash pluggin, for most people the Flash version of the <div> will display.
The alternate content for that <div> can be any regular HTML text, images, media player, links, etc., anything that you would use if you were not using the Flash. Now the best part is that the alternate content can be "over the top" as far as optimizing for SEO, since it will not be seen by most viewers.
Here's another example of SEO with Flash.. again, the page is just a single image provided by the client:
http://www.ksowetsuits.com/
View the source code. The alt content is paragraph after paragraph of information about the site, including lists and links. If it was just the HTML, it might be kind of a boring Home page. But for SEO I can go "over the top" in promoting the site, since most viewers will never see that part... but it's all indexed by search engines. The end result is BETTER SEO using Flash than just HTML.
On another Web site, a Flash video is displayed, the alt content is the complete text narration of the video. Now how many people would take the time to read that if they could just watch the video instead?? again, better SEO with Flash than without. In fact in one case we had first page search result from that video narration within 4 hours of posting the page.
On still another site with a Flash video, the alt content is another video, but a .mov version, which will, in effect play Flash video on the iPhone (not possible you say??). Well since the iPhone does not have Flash pluggin, it simply displays the .mov version of the video, while everyione else sees the Flash version.
So anyway, if Flash is a part of your Web development, you should look into using swfobject and alternate content.

Flash can not parse this document

I have just had a Flash CS5 file corrupt on me. It comes up with this error message: 'Flash can not parse this document'. This is the second time this has happened to one of my Flash CS5 files. My colleagues have had problems with their files too and we bought a bit of software called 'Sothink SWF decompiler'. This has been a useful way of getting Flash files back from swf's however this has not worked with my file today. It doesn't work perfectly with other files anyway as it looses all of the library names and layer names, a big problem with a complex file.
So my questions are
1. can you help me get my file back?
2. I don't recall having any problems with SC3 so what has happened in these later version to cause this dreadful problem? One of my colleaguse has had 40% of her files corrupt sinse using CS5.
3. Then can you tell me whether this problem, that has exsisted in Flash since CS4, will be fixed in CS6 as we will be upgrading when it becomes available?
4. When is Flash CS6 going to become available?
Many thanks

You're all very unlucky to get this problem. I don't know why you guys got the error when transitioning from Flash CS4 to CS5. My transition went perfectly fine, and the game I was developing went through perfectly clean.
Sorry about your problems
dikuno <><
P.S. By the way, that file that was mentioned "textLayout_1.0.0.595.swz", is created whenever you put in TLF text that is edited at runtime via ActionScript and use Runtime Shared Library (RSL) preloading. Did you leave all your text boxes be, or convert them all to TLF?
P.P.S.S. I was very lucky that I didn't lose my project when I transitioned, as my current game is actually due in around a week. Hoepfully none of your projects that you lost are due in a week.
P.P.P.S.S.S. Imagine if this happened to Alan Becker while he was working on Animator vs. Animation II (it took him five months).
P.P.P.P.S.S.S.S. I feel especially sorry for the guy who spent three months on his online multiplayer real-time game. Must be a real shame to lose all your work after all those late nights and sore backs...
P.P.P.P.P.S.S.S.S.S. If you don't know what Animator vs. Animation is, you should watch the animations. You can find them on YouTube - just look up "Animator vs. Animation" and "Animator vs. Animation 2".
P.P.P.P.P.P.S.S.S.S.S.S. Sorry about all the PostScripts.

Flash can not parse this document CS5

I am working with one of my students that is creating an animation in Flash CS5 he has only worked in Flash CS5 not any other version he saved one day and when he returned the next to work on his file he can not open his file and keeps receiving the error message that "Flash can not parse this document." Is there anyway to save his work or is it gone? There is not a CS4 version to work with this file only CS5

Runtime error R6025 message after log on to Vista - Flash Card not working

Hi
I'm a newbie & would appreciate any advice.
I am getting a runtime error message R6025 when I log on to Windows Vista.
When I click out of the box I then get a message saying Toshiba Flash Card not working.
I cancel that and my laptop is ok except I don't know if the flashcard is working or not because I don't know what it does.
Sorry if I sound thick
Thanks
Neelie

Hi
I found this MS knowledge base article:
+Description of the R6025 run-time error in Visual C++\+
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125749
But I doubt this description would be useful for you or anyone here. It describes this error in Visual C++ and this is programming language.
However, I think you should simply reinstall the Value Added Package which you could download firstly from the Toshiba European page.
At first you have to remove the old Value Added Package from the system, then reboot the notebook and follow with new VAP installation.
Bye

Using OSX 10.8 DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "flash plugin" "not found".

Using DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View install the Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com."
My default browser is Chrome. DW uses Chrome as the primary browser. (FFox is secondary.)
I do have Firefox and do not have Flash on it. I open Flash content Chrome, and I installed an HTML5 video viewer add-on in FFox (but haven't tried it yet).
I also have the Dreamweaver HTML5 Video View add-on, so why am I getting that message? Furthermore, the HTML code doesn't have any Flash objects. (The code is the source HTML from www.google.com page, without any changes.)
How do I make DW display the "Live" view of the code without giving me an error? (My end goal is to find out what google does when you enter something in the search box and hit the Enter key, actually, I'd like to see why the result of the search is displayed the way it is - default should be Web view, but Image view shows instead. I want Web to show!)

"Why would anybody paste Google's source code into their own web page?" To learn from it.
I'm sorry Phil, but you can't learn much from Google's source code because search engines are dynamically programed with behind-the-scenes code and content from databases that you can't see. You're just spinning your wheels here. If you want to learn how to make a search engine, I'd be happy to point you to some relevant PHP & MySql tutorials.
The issue still remains that DW is giving me the error (flash plugin not found)
When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences

If all else fails, use the CC Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

Flash installed and up to date however flash does not run on any web browser

I was catching up on watching a televsion show and watching it with no issues/no problems with flash before. I went to the website below and all of a sudden flash is not working. I did not change any settings, run any updates. I checked various browsers, flash content is not working on any of them. I can view youtube videos however just about any other site I've tried, nothing and many websites will not display correctly. I tried some of the troubleshooting suggestions in the forum however some of them I'm unable to do such as alter the flash settings, it takes me to the page but tells me I don't have Flash installed. I've tried switching user accounts on my pc as others have said flash works for them on the other account however mine is still broken. I've actually tried a system restore, still no luck.
Windows 8 (64 bit)
Flash Version 11.9.900.152
Tried web browsers IE, Firefox, Chrome - I've verified it is enabled
Active X is disabled
I've ran the 'test' to verify Flash is installed and it displays the video
I ran the debugger however I do not know how to interpret the data.
PLEASE HELP!!

Best of luck to you in resolving your issue! Rick

Adobe flash will not load - gives only a black screen

For all the (3) users on this computer.   For most browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) The browser window goes 100% BLACK when a flash program link is opened and most of the time the cursor / Pointer freezes (occasionally disappears and all keyboard actions are blocked. Have to force quit or kill the box with the power key (which always bothers me.) No Adobe links work directly via the link in mail or in browser. Symptom in Mail is either the original window goes BLACK or a separate window opens in Black.
Current OS X 10.9.3 (13D65), Memory 4GB on 2.4 GHz Intel core i7 in MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011.
Relevant?? Items:
1.     The Adobe company checking device says Flash is not loaded. I have had flash 9, 10, 11, 12, & 13 working before the latest of   OS X upgrades were made.
2.     An aside, I recently (4 months ago) used a MacKeeper app. Today (not used except for information gathering) the "System Scan says my ProtectMac anti-virus is active and no security problems noted. Also noted was "Serious" issue relating to one of 128 issues (474.3 MB of 'junk' files-36.9 MB in 'Logs", 437.4 MB in Caches.) "Performance" listed as 'Fast.' No action is taken and System Scan app closed.
3.     I seem to have lost my copy of Flash 13 in the Applications folder and the install file tries to load "AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_14_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg"
This makes sense as to item 1. above.
4.      Another user loaded adobe flash 11 from a download file called, "AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_11au_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg." I do not understand the meaning of the part of the file name that reads "_11au_" as it seem to differ from other downloads for "_11eu_". Additionally the copy retained is filed in history and had only the user permissions of one user. Also that copy _11au_ has no mention of Browser Type in the name description of the .dmg file; but the "_11eu_" does mention Safari browser.   Since it was from July 8, 2013 I assume it doesn't matter and it should have been superseded by Flash 12 OSX. Mentioned here only for interest. Also, It may have been saved on this computer in case of rebuild for another user on the home network running 13" MacBook Pro 10.6 Leopard.
5. Attempts to reload Flash 13 from 'AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_13au_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg' as the "Adobe Flash Player Installer" connects to the latest version not yet installed and keeps downloading the Flash 14, which fails and locks up the browser.
6.     The download from get,Adobe.com starts out O.K. After the installer file.dmg completes well, Step 2. is to open it, that, too, works well with an open window of a mounted device on the desktop. The next step is to double-click the icon. That only works so far. A window opens and it has a progress thermometer but it never downloads any product and the link is declared "unavailable" immediately. Refuses to load and will not always give the pointer back or let the browser continue.
7.     While creating this 'Summary' something changed. Using Spotlight I found a different version of Flash Installer on my Mac. I clicked it to go to the Black screen after installer download competes and got a totally different response. I was set to take snapshots of the windows as they progressed. The ".dmg" Icon on the desktop changed from default plain white disk to the red "Flash Player" I had not seen for last 40 days.
Pic 1.     Pic 2.
Pic 1. is the desktop device icon.
Pic 2. is the Installer.
Pic 3. is the Acceptance popup. ~~Note: This popup shows a backwards rev dated March 4, 2012! today is 10 July, 2014.
Flash Player 11.6 is installing after acceptance of License.
Everything went normally and loaded but I cannot test it as all browsers were closed.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
