Splash screen behavior

I'm unclear on the behavior of the "splash" screen in a custom viewer. I understand that for a single issue app, the splash screen image appears every time that you run the app, regardless of where you left off reading the app last.
But for multi-issue apps, te splash screen seems to "come and go". I've noticed that it appears the first time that you run the app, and then once in a blue moon after that. But it doesn't appear each time you actually read an issue within the app.
Can anyone tell me what the behavior of the splash screen is supposed to be for a multi-issue app?
What I really want is the ability to have a splash screen image that ALWAYS appears when you enter any issue in a multi issue app. In other words, I want the reader to see our corporate branding every time they read or re-read each issue of a multi-issue app.
Second question: is it on the future roadmap to allow animation or video in this "splash" screen image?

The splash screen appears for 2 or 3 seconds whenever the app needs to be loaded. If the app is stored in the device's memory, the splash screen doesn't appear. On the iPad, you can get double-tap the Home button to display the app tray and then remove the app from the tray (tap and hold, delete). When you start the app again, the splash screen appears. I'm not aware of a way to get the splash screen to appear even if the app is loaded into the device's memory.

IPad splash screen/launch behavior broken in landscape mode for AIR 3.6?

I just updated to Air 3.6 (under FB 4.6) and I'm now seeing an issue with my app launching in landscape mode when the home button is on the left.
This is on my iPad 2 (running iOS 6.0). However, it doesn't happen on my iPad3 (running iOS5.1).
Launching my app under Air 3.6 on my iPad2 with the home button on the left the following sequence happens :
- The splash screen will appear properly.
- As the splash screen is going away, the app will rotate upside down and remain upside down after finishing launching.
- I must rotate the iPad 180 degrees and then back again to get it to recognize the correct orientation.
I have some other apps that use the same project as a template and share the same launch code. An app that I have that was compiled under Air 3.4 does not exhibit this problem at all on the exact same iPad. The launch sequence works seemlessly.
I have some other apps that were compiled under Air 3.2 on the same iPad that exhibit the following behavior, which isn't as severe :
- The splash screen will appear properly.
- The splash screen for a brief moment flips upside down.
- The splash screen then rights itself and the app launches the right way up as it should.
So it appears that something has changed in the way the AIR 3.6 is handling splash screens and the launching of an app.
I'm not sure if this could be related to the issue that was posted here (although it was indicated for iPod/iPhone) :

Thanks Zero7Eleven!
Going into FB->Project Properties->ActionScript Compiler and adding -swf-version=19 to the "Additional compiler agruments" section seems to have fixed the issue for me.
It looks like this compiler agrument was mentioned in the release notes here, which I didn't find ealier :

FCP will not start not even a splash screen

I updated my 15" MacBook Pro to OSX 10.6.6 and now none of my Final Cut Pro projects will launch there is not even a splash screen that pops up. When I right click the FCP icon in the dock the only option it gives is to force quit. Has anyone heard of this happening in relation to an OS update?

Okay. I finally got FCS 2 apps and the App Store to coexist, but not without considerable trial and error. There is definitely some bad blood between 10.6.6 and FCS 2 apps. I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact problem since the behavior I experienced with FCP and Compressor was very inconsistent, but I do have some solutions that might work. I don't guarantee they'll all work as they did for me, but it's worth a shot.
1) Try launching FCP and waiting as long as you can when it hangs. Several times, if I waited long enough, the splash screen would magically appear and everything would start up as normal, even after a full minute or so.
2) Delete the Final Cut Pro System ID file and re-enter your serial number after launching FCP. Make sure you have your serial number handy before you try this. The System ID file is located in ~/Library/Application Support/ProApps/. Deleting this file allowed the serial dialogue to come up, and after entering the serial, FCP launched successfully.
3) If you have the time and patience, I highly recommend a totally clean install of 10.6 Snow Leopard and using the 10.6.6 Combo Update to get up to date. I managed to get a working Final Cut Pro and Compressor using this method, even though it was a pain in the ***. Using the Migration Assistant to transfer your files over will not break FCS2 apps. As a precaution, I did not transfer over any of my System Settings with the Migration Assistant. You can find the 10.6.6 Combo update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
From my tests, I think there is some problem in 10.6.6 with how OS X displays custom dialogue boxes, such as the kind that drop down from the menu-bar or FCS's custom dialogue boxes and splash screens. I get hangs in MAS when it tries to display the Apple ID login and FCS upon launching. The behavior is inconsistent, sometimes hanging for 30 seconds, other times indefinitely, and I don't have the technical expertise to understand why. However, I've ruled out a disk error through a clean bill of health from disk utils and running the same OS config from two different hard drives.
Here's what I did:
1. Verified internal hard drive and made a SuperDuper backup of my internal hard drive to an external drive.
2. Wiped internal hard drive, installed 10.6 Snow Leopard, and installed Final Cut Studio from disks.
3. Installed the 10.6.5 combo update. Used Software Update to get all software up to date, but unchecked the 10.6.6 update.
Tested FCP: hang on startup.
4. Deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested FCP again: launched with no problem.
Tested Compressor: launched with no problem.
5. I wanted to test the System ID fix on my old setup. I booted to SuperDuper backup (10.6.6 from Software Update) and deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: hang on startup.
6. Booted to clean-install (now at 10.6.5) and applied the 10.6.6 combo update.
Tested FCP: hang on startup
7. Deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested FCP: initially hung on startup. However, after about 30 seconds, it surprisingly launched with no issues.
Tested FCP: took about 30 seconds to launch (no hang), but eventually displayed splash and launched with no issues.
Tested Compressor: same as above.
8. Migrated data from SuperDuper backup to 10.6.6 clean-install on internal drive using Migration Assistant. Excluded "Settings." I also deleted the System ID before testing.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested Compressor: launched with no problems.
Tested FCP: launched with no problems.
9. I then launched the freshly installed Mac App Store. I clicked "install" for Evernote, and the app hung. However, after a moment, it displayed the Apple ID login drop-down from the menu bar. I entered my credentials and Evernote installed.
Tested FCP: initially hung on startup, then launched without a problem.
Tested FCP: launched without a problem.
Tested Compressor: launched without a problem
10. I decided to try one last little test. I deleted Evernote and launched both the Mac App Store and FCP at the same time. FCP hung on startup. I clicked "install" for Evernote again, and App Store hung. After a moment, though, FCP completed its launch AND the App Store drop-down asking me for my Apple ID appeared at the same time. This interested me, since it seemed to suggest that these were related incidents.
I have some process samples from activity monitor for when FCP hung, if someone would find them useful, but I can't read them at all. Console showed the following whenever FCP hung:

App builder keeps hanging after splash screen images added

After I upload all my splash screens for SD and HD, I cannot proceed to the next screen.
There are green checks next to HD and SD, and all looks good.
I have not uploaded any fonts as there is no HTML in the app.
I have deleted and re-downloaded the app builder and still get the same behavior.

The problem was that one of the images had a resolution of 72.09 instead of an even 72. after I changed it it worked. Thanks.

Splash Screen Issues

I'm seeing some behavior I can't quite explain in regards to a Call by Reference node and some front panel updating. I have a splash screen which calls a vi (Launch.vi) which uses the factory pattern to load in my main screen and VI hierarchy. Also on the splash screen I have a loop which simply moves a status bar so the user gets to see something pretty while everything is loading up. Problem is that the progress bar doesn't start moving until everything has been loaded up, which is less than desirable.
Here's a video of my splash screen starting up. http://screencast.com/t/awwgq7ZtlsQ You can see that it sits idly for about 5 seconds then starts spinning up. Even my version indicator doesn't get updated until everything starts moving.
This is an image of the block diagram. When I put a probe on the i terminal of the top loop, the first value I see in the probe is somewhere >600, because it's not getting updated until all the action starts on the splash screen, which is after Launch.vi does it's business I'm pretty sure. Here's a video http://screencast.com/t/oWvqSxyB
So, why? What am I overlooking? I've tried about 40 different things to get this working how I want. Everything from using Start Asynchronous Call instead of Call by Reference, updating the slider in a different loop from the calculations. Getting rid of the notifier in the top loop. etc. etc.

I had a similar problem recently. I just did a quick test that you can see below and it confirms my original guess:
When I execute this, I can hear the "Beep" while my very large VI is loading. Similarly to what you describe, I cannot see "Numeric" update until after the VI is fully loaded. So, my guess is that the "Open VI reference" is somehow involved with the UI thread (or this could be internal to Windows) preventing the redraw (as well as any user input) until it is done with that action.
One way to work around this problem, but I have not tested it, is to create a list of the main subVIs and load them inidividually before loading the top level VI. Once the top level VI is loaded, close all the other references. You could load them one at a time inside a "For loop" with a "Wait 1ms" in between to release the CPU to process your GUI update.
Let me know what you find out, this is interesting

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.

Can't fully launch beyond splash screen, corrupted database?

I'm using a MacPro with LR v1.2, OS v10.4.10. A few days ago, I got the spinning beachball while in LR, had to Force Quit. When I tried to relaunch, I could only get the splash screen and menu.
Each time I launch LR, I backup. Every other day or so I optimize the database from Catalog Preferences. I had added about 700 photos a few days earlier, for a total of about 8,700.
I've gone to the Adobe LR knowledge base, followed their instructions for going back to an earlier backup, but though I've gone back some days, one by one, from the day I had the problem I still only get perhaps one photo, the rest grayed out, immediately. If I wait some time, some previews will start showing up (so far for at least one folder of photos after perhaps 20 minutes).
Is it just a matter of waiting long enough for the previews to show up or do I have to go much further back in my backups to find one which will have all the photos show up right away (normal behavior)?

This sounds very similar to problems we are having in the thread called "Lightroom no longer opens," http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c0540fe/10
It might be worth it to try the solution that is described there, Especially since you have so many back ups. I have to finish some editing before I try it myself to restore my 65,000 image catalog.

Disable/skip hibernation splash screen?

Is there any way to disable the Hibernation splash screen, or make it so that it does not occupy the whole screen? I am using Spyware Terminator, and it asks for a "allow/disallow" decision when new software runs - I updated the Power Management software, and now when I go to hibernate, the splash screen obscures the allow/disallow dialog and the computer hangs, because it recognizes the new power management program as new. No problem if I disable Real-Time Protection. Any advice? As far as I can tell, I cannot manually specify the program to be ignored, and might be simpler to disable/skip the hibernation splash screen.
thank you.

This behavior was introduced by a security "fix" intended to prevent a DNS re-binding attack which permits unsigned applets to escape the applet sandbox. The "fix" was, imo, very poorly thought out. You think you have a problem with 1.5 megabits of applet jars, but I have 8 megabytes, hundreds of thousands of users, with lousy networks. So now I'm stuck with a colocation vendor. Imagine my chagrin when they changed *their* ISP and thus their IP addresses.
As far as I can see, signed applets are already permitted (if the user allows) to communicate outside the sandbox, so this "fix" should not have been applied to signed jars, only to unsigned ones. There are a couple of other techniques that Oracle might have used to prevent this attack, but they chose the simplest one, effectively preventing anyone from using the most common, inexpensive strategies for improving the availability of their web-based Java applications.

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!

Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65. Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting. This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds. After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times. After that it goes into Windows just fine.
The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not. I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue. When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support. I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it. In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0. After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen. This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS. Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking". But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash). I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks. The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead. However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer. Not sure why this is happening either. Perhaps I need to flash this a different way? Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready

for peripherals
1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
I tried to be thorough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably a USB device problem.
This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg: "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output." It has two rails going to the GPU. The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently. The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w. I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future. Any recommendations on good modular PSU's? What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method. I'll be back later when I have some results.

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?

* PSU = CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
* OS = Windows 7 64Bit
* No overclocking.
So far I've done the following.
* Removed battery/Jumped the bios.
* Checked and rechecked each RAM stick.
* Removed all connections.
* Removed graphics card etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Christmas has kind of killed my budget for a new build.
Thanks!
These are as far as I can get before everything stops working.

Really strange.
Have you made sure that there was will be/was no contact between mobo and case (apart from spots where the contact should be made) ? This could've break the motherboard.
Check ALL of the power supply cable connections between it and mobo.
Now something weird which doesn't seen to make any sense... Try to put your motherboard back to the old case.
That's all my suggestions, apart from that, if you're still able, then get it on a warranty and RMA it.
Good luck.

Tecra M3 - Stuck at Toshiba BIOS Splash Screen

Not sure what to do here with this one...
Bit of history... we bought my niece a used laptop for surfing/movies which worked fine when I had it a few weeks setting it up and such, she had it a week and it's now dead. Some days it works, some days won't even turn on. So, after much work determined it to be a motherboard issue, and since it was a $200 DELL, we optedto buy another laptop.
I grabbed a used Tecra M3, been playing with it all week, games, surfing, you name it, seemed a gtood solid performer. I give it to her, she goes upstairs, plugs it in, powers on and just sits at the splash screen.
Two nephews have no issues with theirs, wondering if possible the power outlet surging and killing the systems? She's 16, so (hopefully) knows how to handle a laptop carefully.
Regardless... can't afford another dead laptop. Stuck at startup BIOS splash screen, won't go beyond that. Won't let me into the BIOS, and if I hit too many keeps too many times, laptop just beeps per keystroke.
Any advice?
Solved!

Well, not much of a support forum... 2nd posting and neither issue I had had any responses at all.
In case someone see's this because having the same issue, the hard drive was very loose, barely making contact and fell off when I touched it. Pushed it all the way back in and works fine. Pegs on the panel designed to prevent the drive from becomming lose, not very good, still allowed the drive enough wiggle room to shake loose.
