OS 10.9.4 Startup animation missing

Hello,
in order to spare some HD space in /private/var/folders I did a safe startup. After that procedure the animation right before the login screen during the startup procedure is missing. I know the issue is more cosmetic than serious but the bug gets on my nerves everytime I turn on the machine.
I did:
PRAM reset
SMC reset
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches
and restored the old contents of /System/Library/Extensions/IOGraphicsFamily.kext/ from TimeMachine-bkp before I did the safe start
Apple tech support doesn't know...
Can anybody help me?
Tati
MacBook Air 13'' (2014)
1,4 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 5000

solved it myself.
the issue is probably due to the deletion of cached items during the safe boot procedure. it was caused by the switch of the default screen resolution to my altered lower screen resolution (because the screen is so small) during startup. obviously safe boot deleted the cached altered resolution setting.
if you just change back to normal screen resolution (in system prefs), then restart and once again set to your desired lower resolution, the login animation comes back.

Startup Animations Missing

A few weeks ago I noticed that I no longer get the startup animations on my 27" 2009 iMac.
When I start up I am suppose to get the grey screen with the Apple Logo and spinning wheel, which should transition to a white screen with the Apple logo, then the Apple logo should slide up as the user avatar, password box and linen background fade in for the password screen.
What I get now is the grey screen with the Apple logo and spinning wheel, which abruptly jumps the the fully materialized linen password screen. All the pretty animations in between have vanished.
I have tried zapping the PRAM and resetting the SMC, turning off/on password screen, reinstalling Lion overtop, installing Lion on a separate partition, disk repair, and nothing gets my startup animations back. My MBP still gets all the fancy animations.
Is anyone else seeing this or have any great ideas?

Hello Elzlaik,
Thank you for letting the Apple Community know about this good news. I was anticipating that Apple would resolve the issue with Mountain Lion. They did work close with me on the issue for several weeks and although some of the engineers were trying to say that the animation was "missing" simply because my MacBook Air 13" was loading the screen too fast for my eyes to see it, I was very insulted, but later I spoke to another support rep who assured me that the missing animation problem at startup would be resolved. I plan to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Best regards,
David

StartUp Plug Missing

Hello Experts
I am getting StartUp Plug Missing Error.
actually i add two window in one component and after deleting first one i am getting this error.
Please Help Me.

Hi Sunny,
The interface view of the component and its attached window should have a inbound plug of type startup.
The Web Dynpro application uses this plug to launch the window via interface view.
If this error comes it means
1) The application is not pointing to a component without startup plug mentioned.
OR
2) The interface view and window doesn't have a plug of type startup.
For 2) -> Open the controller of interface view and check that there is a plug of type startup. If not create one by name Startup and type startup.
Check the same in window controller. Create a plug of same name "Startup" and type startup.
Go to the application controller and check that in target interface view and plug you have have mentioned this interface view and this "Startup plug".
For 1) Go to the application controller and check that in target interface view and plug you have have mentioned is of type startup (Check Interface to find which plug is of type startup). Check that you have plug of type startup in interface view and window and of same name.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

Z87-G45 BIOS Splash screen stays during windows startup animation

Hello all,
this is my first post on these forums and I haven't found any similar problems like mine so here it is:
when I power on the PC the normal BIOS splash screen comes up,
then it disappears and normally the windows (I'm running windows 8 Pro x64) startup animation should come up,
but with me the BIOS splash screen just returns and the windows startup circle just comes ontop of it,
like the normal startup animation but instead of a black background I have the BIOS splash screenas background and the windows logo itself also doesn't show,
just the loading circle...
My PC starts up pretty fast so its not that big of a deal but I just wondered if there was a fix
BTW I'm running on a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming with the latest BIOS version (1.3) and windows boots of an SSD

seems to be the normal way of booting. I've also just installed Win8 Pro in UEFI-Mode (not Legacy-UEFI!), and what I've heard from a friend that uses an ASUS board, is that this behavior indicates you are indeed booting in UEFI-Mode -> so no worries!

Photoshop CS6 Startup Script Missing from Bridge CC

Hi. After downloading a Photoshop CS6 update, Camera Raw unlinked from Bridge CS6. I have a full CC subscription so I downloaded Bridge CC and that solved the problem. Now Photoshop does not appear in the 'tools' menu. It is missing from the Startup Script list in preferences as well. Where can I find or download the photoshop script?
On a mac, using Mavericks.
Thank you!

Bump. Any solutions yet?
restart Bridge holding down option (Mac) or ctrl (Win) key ad from the menu choose reset references. Try again. BTW, the start up scripts from the needed applications for Bridge Tool menu are in Bridge preferences / Start up scripts, they should show and have a checkmark in front of them.

Illustrator CS4 - Startup Profiles missing?

Just installed Creative Suite Design Premium CS4 and every time I startup Illustrator I get this error message:
"Can't locate the Startup Profiles. Please try after installing Illustrator again. Illustrator will now attempt to create a default document."
It then creates a blank document in Letter format which is a bit annoying because I live in Europe where we are used to work with A4 format. The Tools palette is also missing, even though I'm able to get the Tools via the Window menu, Illustrator forgets to show it every time I start it. There are also no default Workspaces to choose from and I can't save my own either.
I have tried to reinstall CS4 three times but it doesn't help at all.
Anyone got any ideas?

Animations Missing in Keynote 09

Can someone explain why Apple would remove the FALL animation from Keynote 09.
I used this very frequently. I think they have replaced it with FLOP
;-(

From http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8755457#8755457
In the General Preferences, there is an option to "Include obsolete animations in choices". Checking that will have all the old animations (that have ever shipped with Keynote) show up.

Ok, I've done it, but the situation is still the same, even though the last 3 or 4 times that I have rebooted the audio worked fine, but that could be a casuality.
Disconnect all external hardware (Walcom tablet for instance) and run through this list and stop after #16 and come back to report and/or proceed to #17 and further if it warrants it.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
There is a madness to the order of the steps, it's designed to narrow down your issue from hardware down to something lurking in your user account folder
So far I read the Walcom tablet is causing some issues, however that might not be the primary cause.

Startup Disks missing from Preference Pane - Help!

I have my Macbook partitioned with boot camp and I can start up in both Windows or OSX by holding down the option key and I get to choose my system.
However, in my preference pane for Startup disk, they only option that appears is Network Startup. Neither OSX or Windows appears there. This has only occurred since the last update. I haven't changed anything in my system in months.
So I now have to wait for an extra 2 min or so, while the macbook searches the network for a bootable drive before it finally decides to start in OSX.
Anyone have any ideas how to get my drives back in the Startup Disk preference pane?
Any help you can provide would be welcome.
Thanks.

Oh, I wish that had worked, but unfortunately they do not appear with any other user either.
I really don't want to do a complete reinstall of both systems. I hope I can figure out another way to fix this.

Illustrator CS5 - Startup profiles missing and crashing on quit

Have a couple of problems with Illustrator CS5.
When opening the program a message appears, 'Can't locate startup profiles' Have tried reinstalling the software but problem persists.
When quitting out of Illustrator I get a message saying the software has crashed. I've loaded up the latest patches etc. but again the problem persists.
Anyone had the same problem and found a fix?

Turns out crashing on quit is also a permissions error. Go figure.
Shout out to Larry G. Schneider for this one:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3132649#3132649
Also, shout out to the makers of BatChmod (http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/BatchMod). Sets all your permissions in one fell swoop.
When you open up Illustrator this time, Adobe magically creates a "en_US" folder within the Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings folder that couldn't be added before.

Macbook startup freeze - missing mdnsresponder loop

Hello
I got a confused call from a friend now in India to do an important business presentation. He is stuck with a MacBook that freeses on boot-up.
It was not easy to find out what the symptom was in detail over the phone, but I had him start up in single user mode, and he got a loop which included the following error (not 100% that all of this is correct):
missing com.apple.launch[1] mdnsresponder (com.apple.mdnsresponder [1491] posix-spanwnp (/usr/sbin)
At some point the loop stopped, and we were able to do an fsck. He got volum ok after a couple of tries, but the start-up problem is still there.
He has no back-up system drive or system discs with him. Is there anything he can do except from giving up and bring the machine to an Apple Store when he gets home? Is this likely to be a hardware problem, or related to a corrupt system file or the like?

Hi Harriet, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It'll boot up fine in safe mode.
It could mean that you have some Hardware failure, or it might be 3rd party things, or just corruption.
In Safe Mode try making a new Admin Account & log into that one for a test.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check System Preferences, the Other row for possibilities.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Startup Chime Missing

H, Since I installed Snow Leopard my computer hasn't chimed when turning it on. It's a small thing I know, and the computer is fine in every other way but I just wondered if anyone else had seen this.
Thanks
Weenie

I had this problem recently. If you have the system volume up and you're still not hearing the chime. Try resetting the PRAM.
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need them in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and hopefully you should hear the startup sound.
6. Release the keys.
