Pages hangs when launched

When I launch Pages, I get the spinning ball and the application hangs forcing me to force Quit.
I tried re-installing, but no luck.
How should I troubleshoot this?
I'm on Snow Leopard...
Thanks
Andre

Interestingly, I've been having the same problem. I found some fonts that were corrupted and that initially fixed my immediate problem, but this morning I opened a template I'd never used before and the same thing happened once the template opened.
Holding down the shift key did not open up Pages with all docs closed, so my problem didn't go away. Then I tried starting up with the option (alt) key held down, and my problem went away. Haven't tried to repeat it because I need to get stuff done, but I thought I'd share it with this thread.

Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.6

Hi, simple question to ask about OAS and Developer Server.
My Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.61,
I am currently running...
Pentium PII 200Mz running NT sp5
Forms Server version 6.0.5.31.0 (Patch 3 applied)
OAS version 4.0.7.1.0 (Patch applied)
Jinitiator 1.1.7.18
Netscape 4.61 browser
I have all the latest versions of everything that is available,
I have followed the instructions.
I successfully connect to the OAS admin utility and have setup
all the virtual to physical directory mappings under the default
listener www. I successfully start all website OAS services.
I have Forms server successfully started up as a process
listening on port 9000.
I have two statics html files created:
a) with Jinititator 1.1.7.18
The very first time I connected to this static html file it
installed Jinitiator as expected. The Forms server splashscreen
then appears.
Jinitiator then starts up successfully, no errors appear in the
Java console. This has proved I am talking to the listener and
my virtual directory mappings are working.
At this point there is a lot of disk activity and then all
stops, the splashscreen remains and appears in the discussion
area:
FRM-9999 cannot access "koala.ilaco.gov.bo:9000" and
a series of java exceptions
I am pointing to the correct java directories (I think)
b) with out Jinitiator
When I try to call using URL with Netscape 4.61 I get a
message on the status bar saying...
Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main class oracle/forms/engine/Main
got a security violation: Method verification error
Can you help ?
If you know the answer, please let me know as soon as
posible.
Thanks for the answer....
Rgds,
Polo

I respond your email, with my actual server configuration my
problem is now: I get the splash screen and after form is hanged.
My server configuration is:
Compaq PC, with Pentium II, the software is:
- Windows NT, with Service Pack 5
- Oracle Application Server, v.4.0.7.1.0 Enterprice Edition,
pathset 1
- Developer Server v.6 patchset 3
- My browser in this machine is Netscape 4.61
- Jinitiator 1.1.7.18 is also used.
My developer server is installed and running on the same machine
that OAS is. I am using other browser in other machine (IE5)
and trying to connect to the OAS on the first machine.
My problems begin when I launch ifsrv60.exe. I copied
ifwcm60.dll v.6.0.5.0.2, and other files required in the %
ORACLE_HOME%\bin
I forced listener Developer Server Port (
c:\orant\bin\ifsrv60.exe -listen port=9000 )
Now, I can connect with this process, with the following line:
telnet koala 9000. The listener is working now.
I tried to work with my (NonCartride-static html)forms60 form on
WEB without Jinitiator, but I couldn't.
With Netscape, in the status bar: Applet
oracle.forms.engine.Main can3t stop ERROR
With IE5, I get the splash screen and after the forms is hanged.
If I use Jinitiator:
With Netscape, in the status bar: Oracle Jinitiato: applet
oracle.forms.engine.Main inited then form is hanged.
With IE5, I get the splash screen and after that, the screen
freezes and looks like the form is hanged.
Any further suggestions on this?

Why does Safari hang when launching?

Using Safari 1.3 on 10.3.9 for a couple weeks now; everything has been running well, until today.
Safari will launch from a Help command within an application (eg: any CS application), open it's own window, blue connection status gets halfway across the window bar, then it will hang with the spinning beach ball... until I force quit.
Same thing happens when launched from the dock or directly from the applications folder. Explorer, Firefox all work fine. All other apps working fine.
Tried trashing Safari prefs, no change. Deleted all Safari files and tried to install v1.2 instead (as a download from Apple), but now the Safari installer hangs as well. No problem with installing or re-installing other apps.
Additionally, Sherlock will now no longer launch.
Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

Indesign CS3 hangs when launching - I have found a temp solution

I upgraded to snow leopard and ran into a problem straight away with Indesign CS3 hanging when I tried to launch it.
I have done some searching round the web and noticed a large number of posts stating the same.
I noticed, upon starting up for the first time in 10.6, that snow leopard asked me to install rosetta to run suitcase fusion v12.0. Out of curiosity I shut suitcase fusion down and tried to launch Indesign and I got a result. It launches fine and doesn't seem to suffer any crashes. It leaves me without a decent font manager but will allow me to get through the next few weeks until an update gets released (if apple puts some pressure on adobe)!
Hope it helps!

Hi RebeccaWooWah,
Please check "Applications" folder, you would see a file named "Adobe".
Kindly delete the file, as it is corrupt.
Create a folder "Adobe" in Applications folder, issue should be fixed.
Thanks,

Articulate SCORM 1.2 content hangs when launched in Oracle OLM 12.1.3 RUP4

Hi Folks,
Using Oracle Learning Management (OLM) version 12.1.3. I have successfully uploaded the content zip having previously replaced 5.xsd's with the Oracle specific ones. The content uploads without error as expected.
Tracking type is set to SCORM 1.2 in OLM (CMI is not a listed option in this version). I've also uploaded the SCORM adapter and validated that this is working correctly. I have also uploaded, launched and successfully played the Oracle SCORM test object to verify and all checks out ok.
I have an issue where content begins to launch in the OLM course player and then hangs indefinitely. Status bar get to about 25% and stops.
The content is published to LMS > SCORM 1.2 in Articulate presenter. This is not unique to one piece of content we have created using Articulate (I've tested 3 and they all behave the same).
I'm assuming that this points to the issues being content specific but I've not ruled-out that it may be some relating to JAVA or specific to the clients IT Infrastructure.
Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Hey Scott, good to hear from you.
Ever the Guru I see, hope life is treating you well at Seertech.
Articulate is version 9 and it's Presenter, the clients pc's have Flash version 10,1,102,64 installed. On that basis do you reckon the Flash updater is worth a go?
Also not sure if it's relevant but on the Flash Player angle, the same content published in AICC in presenter plays fine.

Macintosh Adobe Media Encoder CS5 Hangs When Launching

I have a Mac Pro with OS 10.6.6, 20 Gb of RAM and plenty of hard drive space.
I have been using Media Encoder with no problems, but now when I launch the application, it hangs and crashes. Anyone have any idea on what I can do to fix it? I haven't installed anything new on my system, I have repaired permissions, but the app just started crashing out of the blue.
Suggestions are most welcome!

Have you installed the
recent updates?

Adobe Captivate 5 hangs when launched...

I downloaded the trial of Captivate 5, and when I double click the icon to launch it, it just hangs and says "Loading..." but never loads, eventually I click on the Captivate logo, and an error box comes up stating the program must close. I am using Windows 7 64 bit with about 750GB of free space. Here is what I have tried thus far:
I uninstalled, restarted and installed again, many times.
I re-downloaded the trail and tried installing again, many times.
I downloaded the updated UpdaterNotification32bit file and replaced it and rebooted.
I do not have any other CS5 products on my computer
Whenever I try to install, I do get the dialog box that states "A machine restart is required, quit and restart or continue", so I have restarted umpteen times, and there is no reason for it to have to be restarted, but that comes up every time I reinstall. I have gone to the registry to delete HKEY_Local_Machine...\Inprogress file, but no such file exist in my registry.
When Captive is hanging, it is using about 13% of the CPU and my memory sits at about 24%
There are no open dialog boxes that are causing the hang. Sometimes one comes up and I check it, sometimes nothing comes up. Either way it hangs.
I run the app as Administrator.
And still Captivate 5 will not launch. I did get it to open once, the first time I replaced the UpdaterNotification32bit file and restarted, but once I closed it, it went right back to the same problem. Any suggestions?

Here is the error I get...

Can't get to Secure Area. Was working, but now Log-in Page hangs when enter Name and Password.

Built site using Muse, then used Business Catalyst to set up Secure Area. Site worked for several months, but the Log-in Page looked somewhat unprofessional, since Name and Password box could appear almost anywhere on page. Asked for Adobe Help, and Adobe tech sent 'Test' page to check presentation. Now Log-in Page doesn't work at all. When enter Name and Password and hit Return - nothing ! Have to 'Escape' out of page - it just hangs. So members of the community site can no longer share internal data.
Would really appreciate any help trying to fix this issue.
Thanks !

Please share the link to the page where the form is placed , along with test user login details, so that we may further look into this. Also a screenshot demonstrating the issue you facing would be of great help.

Pages hangs when I do "Find and Replace"

Three times in the last month, Pages '08 has frozen on me when trying to do a simple search-and-replace in a document. The document was imported as a Word doc, and had (scattered throughout it) some straight quotes. In the past, I have been able to do a search-and-replace of all the quotes within the document, and it would replace them with smart quotes. But for about a month now, doing that causes Pages '08 to choke. I left it all night long once, and in over eight hours it still was frozen with the spinning beach ball. This is a recent development, and sadly, I don't have free support any more. I tried repairing permissions, and the did not help anything.
Any ideas, anyone??

If you download WordService, free from http://www.devon-technologies.com/download/index.html you can easily change your quotes by selecting all and in the Services menu click on Smart Quotes. WordService will also reformat, change cases, remove links, extra returns, extra spaces, and much, much more.

Excel save as pdf hangs when launched through a watch folder

Hi there,
I've configured a watch folder to launch a batch file which launch a .exe file I've written in C++
In this application I launch Excel which open a .XLS document which contains macros.
At the end of the computations there is a macro which save as pdf.
At this point everything hangs and I have to cancel the job I've created for the watch folder.
If I disable the watch folder and I place the starting file inside the watch folder
and I manually launch the .bat file (which usually is launched by the watch folder) everything works perfectly.
I really really hope there will be someone here coming with a solution for me.
By the way on the windows forum I've got a very disappointing answer where they stated it was probably a fault of my application.
Well fortunately that was not the problem because
I can reproduce the problem even removing my application from the equation so now we have cleared
the issue is not casued by my application.
So if you want to try it yourself just follow the steps below:
1) create an excel document so that after you open it it automatically run a save as pdf operation and close excel. (let's call this document "PRINT_TEST.xls")
2) create a batch file named "Excel_launcher.bat" and write the command
""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\EXCEL.EXE" "C:\teststampapdf\PRINT_TEST.xls""
3) Now create a watch folder job that execute that batch file.
something like "C:\watchfolderX\Excel_launcher.bat"
4) now create a watch folder that uses that job and for file filter use "*.txt" enable it and start it
5) now launch manually the batch file and you'll see that it print the pdf and closes itself
6) drop a txt file inside the watch folder you've created and you'll see it hangs at the save as pdf operation.
This is something that have to be fixed and it's due to excel.
I can launch and save documents with all the application I want but excel so that's the problem.
Please take a look and keep me updated I badly need to find a solution for this issue.
THANK YOU in advance,
Davide

Hi Davide,
This is no the right forum for your issue. I think you can consult this issue on some Excel end-user related forum.

PC session hangs when launch a query from Oracle 9i client to 10g database

I have a pc with Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 client installed. The database server level is 10.1.0.5.
When I launch a query from a client session the pc sesssion locks up and doesn't return any results. When I launch the same query from the database server , or from other pcs with Oracle client 10 installed , I get results almost immediately from the query.
The pc in question is running Windows XP Service pack 2. Other queries run fine from the pc.
Are there are any known issues with Oracle 9 clients querying an Oracle 10 database ?

Thank you for your reply. No, I must admit I didn't think of looking at the wait events. I will look at this as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

Pages hangs when trying to print

Since a few days it isn't possible to print any new document with pages (OS 10.4.11). Opening and printing older documents still works. And there also no problems with printing using other applications. Very frustrating!
Any hints?
Thank you very much in advance!

Being an old Quark XPress hand I can only suggest the techniques I used on bad Quark documents.
Look for suspects. Change something. Clean up. Transfer. Simplify.
What is different in the bad document? Remove and/or reimport graphics one by one. See if that changes anything.
Push some text up or down over page breaks. Sometimes the problem lies in the "Edges" of the postscript ie the page limits or some buried and invisible formatting.
Do a search and replace on multiple spaces etc in the text, clean up what you can by copying the text from the document and running it through TextSoap to get rid of stray formatting or invisible characters.
Create a brand new document with the same layout, copy the content out of the damaged file and paste it into the new file.
Last but not least. Try and simplify the document, reduce any special effects, fancy outlines, drop shadows etc.
If everything new fails to print, then there is a problem with Pages itself. Trash iWork along with all its preferences and reinstall from scratch along with upgrades.
Without seeing the job that's all I can offer.

Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when launching.

I have to force quit it to try again. It works fine when I restart my Imac in safe mode and when I use a different user.
How do I isolate the problem in safe mode?

When CS6 first released, some people experienced problems with the FTP feature. A critical update was released which addressed these issues. Did you install it?
