Hide License on Splash Screen

Is their anyway to disable the showing of the license on the Splash Screen for Final Cut Pro and the other applications.

No you can't, but you can take other steps to prevent others from stealing it.
It sounds like you are in an environment such as an office or a busy home were others can access your computer when you are away from your desk. Therefore increase the security settings on your Mac.
Goto System Preference --> Set Master Password, then check:
"Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver"
"Disable automatic login"
"Log out after "set this time yourself" minutes of inactivity"
And Log out when you leave your desk.

  • How do I hide Framemaker 12 welcome screen?

    I would like to hide the welcome/splash screen in Framemaker 12. In FrameMaker 11 there was an option for that in the maker.ini, but I can not find that option in maker.ini 12. Can anybody enlighten me on this?
    regards

    Hi Arnis Gubins
    Thanks for your reply. I do not seem to have such an entry in my maker.ini.

  • 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?

  • Splash screen after import--it hides under LR--

    After an import, the pictures that are duplicates, and not imported appear in a list in a splash screen that doesn't show up until I minimize LR. That is because it appears underneath LR which takes full screen on my Macbook. In my opinion, it should appear on the top of LR where it is visible. For what its worth. Thanks. I couldn't find this in the knowledge base.

    I forgot to ask a question. The question is can I make the splash screen show up on top of the lightroom window? Phil Starr

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

    I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses).  I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
    Google searches aren't turning up anything.  When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears.  However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar.  I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1.  Nothing works.  The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
    I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today.  Go figure.
    Edit:  I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects().  The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function).  There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

    And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
    My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative.  All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related.  I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start.  That also did not work.
    (And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
    Edit:  The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking.  I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report.  Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

  • How to create desktop application (AIR) splash screen FB 4.7 ?

    Hi.  I am using Flash Builder 4.7 and with the tutorials and the API documentation on Flex by Adobe I can't seem to find a good solution for creating a Splash Screen for an Adobe AIR Desktop application.  I have found some results for mobile applications but I didn't go into those because I am developing for the desktop.  However if some of the moblie results are valid for porting to desktop I will give them a shot.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S.  If I port to mobile, I will be porting to Android

    Did you try the newly released SDK from official page, rather than labs? I would also suggest running FB with Java 1.6, if you have it on Java 1.7 - FB4.7 is known to yield some quirks with new java VMs.
    Flash Builder is developed on top of Eclipse platform, which is basically a pluggable architecture - nothing wrong with that. Number of files do not really affect the overall application performance. In general you should not touch that, unless you really know what you doing and can manage all the dependencies on your own. I agree, though, that's is quite unfortunate that Adobe decided to hide the AIR SDK deep inside plugins, instead dragging it out to a top-level folder, where it's visible and available for change. It was possible with Flex SDK configured externally, so why not here?

  • 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.

  • Cool way to remove 'X' from Splash Screens

    I just found a way to remove the 'X' in the window for creating splash screens. Here is the code:
    // Make sure you have an image file (splash.jpg) in your dir.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.border.*;
    public class SplashScreen
    static JWindow window = new JWindow();
    private static void showWaitDialog(boolean show)
         JPanel panel = (JPanel)window.getContentPane();
         panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(BevelBorder.RAISED));
         if (show)
              JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar(JProgressBar.HORIZONTAL);
              progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
              panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());     
         panel.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("splash.jpg")), BorderLayout.NORTH);
              panel.add(progressBar, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
              window.setLocation(300,300);
              window.pack();
              window.show();
         else
              window.hide();
    public static void main(String[] args)
         try

              Thread.sleep(10000);
              showWaitDialog(false);
         catch(Exception e)
              e.printStackTrace();
    I would love it if you let me know if this was helpful.

  • Photoshop CS6 freezes before splash screen (Mavericks)

    13-inch MacBook Pro 2012 (June), 2.9GHz i7, 8GB of Apple RAM (no third-party RAM), 750GB drive, non-Retina display, OS X 10.9.1. In use for over a year under 10.8.x.
    Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium (Academic License) installed. Upgraded from 10.8.5 where Photoshop CS6 ran successfully until upgrading to 10.9. Upgrading to 10.9.1 didn't help. Reverting to 10.8.5 fixes things. Adobe Drive has never been installed. Lightroom 4 is installed. Trial of InDesign CC is installed, and it was installed under 10.8.5, too.
    Only Photoshop CS6 is affected; other CS6 apps in the suite work fine under 10.9.x. After upgrading to 10.9, Photoshop CS6 will work for maybe a day, then it will launch with a menu bar and menu choices, but none of them work. The Photoshop CS6 splash screen never appears.
    It appears to be OS X user-account related. If a new OS X user is created, Photoshop CS6 works.
    CS6 suite has been removed and reinstalled; no positive effect. Adobe's CS6 uninstaller has been downloaded and CS6 suite reinstalled; no positive effect. Photoshop .plist file has been deleted; no positive effect.
    Any help appreciated! Thanks!

    Because Photoshop will launch successfully with a different OS X user account, can someone suggest which specific Console log(s) in both accounts to investigate (or search for the existence of) that may help diagnose why Photoshop won't launch?
    Additional behavior:
    In the problematic account, Photoshop starts to launch, and its menus appear. Many menus are black, but when you select a menu choice (such as Photoshop > About Photoshop or File > Open), then all Photoshop menus and choices gray out. Then you have to force quit Photoshop.
    However, if you first (while menu choices are still black) choose File > Open in Bridge CS6 (or words to that effect), then Bridge will open.
    Thanks.

  • Must Press Spacebar or HP Splash Screen Hangs There Indefinitely

    Weirdest thing ever... A little background first. I had a VERY hard time getting this computer to do a recovery to factory settings. After about 11 attempts switching between disc set ordered from HP and the recovery discs I made from the computer it FINALLY finished. (All other attempts I got a message that said recovery failed and then had the option of three choices...something like "View Log" "Save Log' and "Retry") What I did that FINALLY let the recovery finish all the way was to press the spacebar on keyboard every time the HP splash screen came up. Then, the little white circles under the hp logo would start moving and it would go on to the next part of the software/driver installation. Now, however, every time I restart the computer I HAVE to press the spacebar once or it just hangs on the hp splash screen. I have done ALL windows updates and all driver updates via HP website. The only additional software I have installed is Mozilla Firefox. I have reset BIOS to factory defaults - Secure Boot back on since I had to disable it to install with discs. Little things like time & date are correct. I've run diagnostic on all hardware and it passes.PLEASE HELP!!!! I have never encountered anything like this before and I am at a loss as to how to fix it!!!!!!!!!! Thank-you for taking the time to respond!!!

    HI ,  Thank you for your query.  I grasp that you must press the spacebar whenever the HP splash screen appears to continue. You have done all the Windows and HP updates but the difficulty remains.  You have also reset the bios back to factory. What is the current version of your bios? Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter? If you start in Safe Mode does the difficulty remain? HP PCs - Windows 8 Safe Mode  Would you please try this step.Go to the command prompt and run as administratorType sfc /scannow and press enter This will scan for corrupted files and try to repair them.Once this completes please restart your notebook and run one more time. If the issue remains  please try to determine the offending program uisng system configuration.Using System Configuration (msconfig)Please note the section on services.  I suggest you use the 50/50 method to narrow down the results.Hide all microsoft services.Disable 1/2 of the servies and try starting your notebook to see if the difficulty remains.If it does go back and enable the first 50% and disable the other 50% ( remember to hide Microsoft services) and restart.Continue in this manner to determine if a particular service  is causing the issue. Next I would try a refresh your PC. This should reinstall the operating sytstem but not affect your personal files.HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8). You can contact HP support for assistance. They can remotely access your notebook to help find and fix the difficulty.Please contact HP support at Contact HP Support   To say thanks for replying please click the thumbs up button below. If this resolved your difficulty, please notify people  by choosing solution provided.  Best of Luck! 

  • Splash screen does not display correctly

    Hello everyone. I have a class which shows a spashscreen. When run from the main method it display the splash correcly.

    I also encounter this sort of problems when calling other panels from my mainpage. The panels have a background. When called for the first time they appear distorted. When a second time they are called( by clicking the menu button from my mainpage) everything displays correctly.
    I am very confused with the above problem because there is simply no error in the coding. I can't see where the problem lies.
    Please Please Help me! I'll be indepted to you all!

    This is my class that I've written that works fine. Feel free to use it.

  • Launch Lync Client without "splash" screen

    Hello,
    Is there a way to prevent Lync from showing the "Starting..." splash screen every time it launches?
    Please note: I am NOT referring to the "First Run" splash. But rather the "Starting..." splash, as depicted below.
    We currently have "TracingLevel=Off" and "AutoOpenMainWindowWhenStartup=0" in registry, to ensure fast and quiet launch.
    But Lync is set to run on Windows startup (along with a kazillion other apps) so Lync startup takes quite a while.
    While all the background apps are starting, the Lync splash screen is displayed the entire time.
    So naturally a lot of users "blame" Lync for causing slow startup.
    Hence, I would like to hide the splash screen and just let Lync minimize directly to taskbar.
    Suggestions are welcome :-)
    Edit:
    THIS is essentially what I am looking for - just for Lync.
    Best regards
    Martin Holst

    From registry modify
    $value =$key.GetValue("AutoOpenMainWindowWhenStartup",$null)
    if ($value -eq 1) {$value = "Yes"}
    if ($value -eq 0) {$value = "No"}
    Write-Host "Show Lync in foreground when it starts: $value"
    or from Lync client
    Uncheck on
    Show Lync in foreground when it starts as exist on below image

  • Splash screen is hiding early

    I'm running the splash screen on my desktop stand alone application, from the manifest file, but my splash screen hides when the frame became visible (just the frame, without the panel and its components).
    How do I make the splash screen to wait the panel show up?

    How do I make the splash screen to wait the panel show up?You're thinking backwards. Add all the components to the frame before you setVisible(true)
