Splash screen in open office, gnucash, etc

The splash screen in open office, gnucash, and other applications are really annoying especialy in old systems where it takes lot of time to start and you cannot do other things with that splash thing on your face. I have seen that this does not happen in kde. Is there a way to disable it in xfce4?

Bluetooth keyboard not working when prompted for wifi splash screen io7

I just upgraded to IO7 on my ipad and I use the apple bluetooth keyboard. However, when the WiFi splash screen appear to login using say Cisco's login the keyboard does not work. Meaning it does not accept keystrokes. Because the keyboard is paired there is no way to show the normal onscreen keyboard unless you unpair.
My work around has been to dismiss the splash screen and open up safari then try to hit a website which then produces the splash screen within the browser. Then I'm able to use the keyboard again. Anyone had the same issue and is there a work around as this is highly annoying.

Thank for showing interest in my situation and trying to answer, however yes...
FROM ABOVE: "Attempting to repair the keyboard accomplished nothing, however I did learn that when prompted to enter the bluetooth 4 digit code for pairing the keyboard was able to send the 4 numerical digits and striking the return key did succesfully pair the keyboard to the iPad again."
I'm going to try "Forgetting the Device", turning off the Bluetooth Keyboard, Turning off the iPad 2 iOS7, Turning the iPad 2 iOS7 back on, Turning the Bluetooth Keyboard back on, then setting it up via the Bluetooth menu again. Doubt turning off the iPad will accomplish much, but it will be good to have it scratched off the list.

(Landscape) Splash screen on mobile not sizing properly when device is held in Portrait

I have a mobile project (AIR) for iPad and iPhone that has landscape splash screens when the user taps the icon. However, when the user is holding the device in portrait mode, the splash screen image opens and resizes a landscape image to show in portrait mode. It really looks bad too! I have only provided landscape images. Do anyone know what is happening here?

Does your app support portrait? If so, you should be providing the necessary portrait icons.
If not, you should be restricting your apps orientation. An event is fired off upon orientation change giving you a chance to control it:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/events/StageOrien tationEvent.html
In my landscape-only apps it's specified in the app XML and then I simply listen for changes. e.g.
// listen for orientation change
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, _orientationChangeHandler);
// neglect any orientation change that isn't landscape
function _orientationChangeHandler(e:StageOrientationEvent):void
if (e.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.DEFAULT || e.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.UPSIDE_DOWN)
e.preventDefault();
Although this may not even be necessary anymore, the XML should really allow orientation specification limits just like device limits. That code allows the user to use landscape or landscape upside down (Apple requires this) and neglects portrait or portrait upside down.

Photoshop wont open, error at splash screen

i had CS3 running fine for as long as i can remember.. (on winxp pro sp3 32bit)
then all of a sudden today when i try to start it.. it opens and the splash screen comes up, then when it gets to 'initializing palettes' i get an error that says etc etc memory cannot be read...
i uninstalled, ran the cleaner, deleted all cs3 folders in docs&settings.. reinstalled.. same problem
ive spent the last few hours on google looking for some solutions but couldnt come up with anything that helped..
any ideas at all? i dont want to have to reformat just to get photoshop to work again, thats a bit silly of a solution.. there has to be some other reason..

ive reset the prefs.. ran the cleaner.. searched the registry.. etc etc..
the only thing i can think of that ive added since the last time i used photoshop was the new google chrome browser, which i uninstalled and it didnt help any
my hard drives all check out fine, memtest shows my 2gb of ram have 0 errors, ran several virus/spyware/etc scans and got nothing..
i really dont wanna reformat just for one program that seems to have randomly stopped working.. there has to be another solution lol.. reformatting for me is a huge pain as it takes quite a while for me to get everything tweaked back to the way i like it..
i guess later tonight ill try installing it on my vista partition and if it works on that, i guess i can just boot up to vista instead of xp when i need to use it

10.6 -- All Office 2008 apps hang at splash screen. FontCache Tool runaway

Did an upgrade of 10.5 to 10.6. Nearly everything works fine. Can't launch Office 2008. All apps hang at their splash screen; usually at Optimizing Font Menu Performance.
Once an app is opened, in Activity viewer you'll find a process called FontCache Tool using >90% of the CPU (on my Core Duo MBP at least, YMMV). I suppose it's saying a lot about 10.6 that the computer is completely usable with that runaway process. Even after forcing the office app(s) to quit, Font Cache Tool stays running until it's killed manually.
I have yet to find out if FontCache Tool is an Apple or MS process. I think it's microsoft.
This happens under multiple users.
This happens after reinstalling Office.
This was an Office 2008 upgrade from Office 2004.
After reinstall, and installing Rosetta, office 2004 will run, but office 2008 will not.
Office 2008 is 12.2.1.
I am running FontAgent Pro for font management, and so font book sees certain activated fonts as duplicates. (Validate fonts shows duplicate warnings but no errors). FontAgent Pro 4.0.3 is listed as Snow Leopard compatible. So is Office 2008.
I have yet to do a clean SL install, which I'm guessing will fix it, but I'm curious if there is a sub-sledgehammer approach, or if I am the only person with this issue.
Other probably irrelevant facts include that the computer is bound to both Active Directory and OS X OpenDirectory servers. Open Directory is running on Leopard 10.5 Server. It does have some managed preferences, including those for Office (e.g. to set default to .doc rather than .docx) but the situation persists even after removing those managed preferences.
Normally really specific problems are easy to isolate and solve, but I'm at a loss.
Any help appreciated

Hey i think i figured it out.
Had the same prob. 10.6 12.2.1 entourage hanging.
Renamed FCT, instantly prompted that a font was corrupt. Removed the corrupt Font: KufiStandardGK.ttf << this just happened to be my one corrupt font.
A little troubleshooting i did leading up to this, I read your post and my situation was the same. I use Linotype X to manage fonts. I disabled all but the minimum fonts (i moved them into a folder font_trouble in the same folder)
I also deleted every office pref/plist setting i thought relevant to startup which triggered the microsoft setup assistant (watched via the console app) and it ran through its check and then immediately the fontcachetool started and went awol on cpu time. Once i killed it--during the starting up of word and entourage... timing may be unrelated but i did them at nearly the same time.
Ps. Your post was extremely well written and I apologize for my stream of consciousness, less than stelllar response... hope this helps if not feel free to ping me for more details on what I did...
Good Luck.. All my office apps are running normally now.

I was using open office spreadsheet today and inadvertantly clicked on a menu item that caused the Apple toolbar to disappear when I am in open office. How do I get it back at the top of my screen? I am currently using OS 10 Lion.

Click on the Menu bar and go to View . Or, hover over where the Menu bar shiuld be and click on it when it appears. Try quitting and relaunching Finder.

What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

All adobe programs open but crash on the splash screen MAC??

just wiped my hard drive clean today and was reinstalling the programs directly from the website since I already have an adobe cc account.
All the ones I installed today: Dreamweaver, Flash, Premier, Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign will open but crash immediately on the splash screen.
DId not have any problems before when I was just running CC before I wiped the hard drive clean.
Anybody have any help ?!!?!?!?!!!!!!!!! AM i MISSING PLUGINS? I just downloaded the newest java.
ALSO, I'm currently trying to install maverick, since it defaulted me to mountain lion. Will this fix the problem?
Thanks guys so much I'm a student and have a big project to finish up!!!!!

SORRY. I INSTALLED ADOBE CC 2014 TODAY!! I HAD INSTALLED ADOBE CC 2014 BEFORE I WIPED THE HARD DRIVE CLEAN AND IT HAD WORKED JUST FINE. I had ADOBE CC before and IT gave me the upgrade to 2014. NOW NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND NON opening/crashing after the hard drive was wiped clean?!!!

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login but works fine with admin login.
OS - WinXP Sp3
Things I tried.
1) Gave full rights on dreamweaver folder in program files.
2) Disabled welcome screen
3) Updated to Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4
4) Reinstalled
5) Formated PC
But issue persists, please help.

Have you tried deleting or renaming the Dreamweaver configuration file?
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
This can solve many problems and create one in that any snippets that are installed are lost, but you can get them back. Instead of deleting the config file, just name it config.old. When your system is working, just copy the snippets from the .old file to the new one.

Can't install open office; youtube videos + green screen; using call HP Tech Support fails

Can't install open office; youtube videos are green screen (audio ok); using call HP Tech Support fails (no reason given)
1) Can't turn McAfee Livesafe off, and think it's what's keeping me from installing Open Office. It downloads but can't install.
2) At work on wireless guest, youtube looks fine. At home on ethernet through DISH satellite, it's green screen. This is not he case with my older HP laptop connected to the same ethernet cable.
3) Why is HP tech support rejecting me, after I type everything in? If I ca't use it, don't make it an option!!!! The forums were choice #2, so here I am ... make me proud ...
Thanks everyone!!!!

An alternative to OpenOffice would be KingsSoft Office, it performs better and still Free:
http://www.kingsoftstore.com/
McAfee products are problematic on some systems and suggest you uninstall it using their removal too then reboot:
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331
Build in Windows Defender should reactivate after the reinstall. As an antivirus product it is adequate as long as you practice safe surfing habits.
Windows key + X, select Command Prompt (Admin) and type: sfc /scannow
Let me know if it does not fix all or any corrupt system files.
Reboot and now try your Youtube.
I do not have an answer to what transpired between you and HP Support but only to say you should come here first.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/mac-os-mavericks-compatability.html
The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

Photoshop CC, Change opening splash screen?

Hello,
Has anyone figured out how to change the Creative Cloud version of the splash screen?,
I'd like to add custom artwork on the top corner and my company name when loading the application.

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.

Update and addon splash screens show up at start-up every time Firefox is opened?

Recently, whenever I open a new Firefox session, the one-time screen thanking me for updating shows up, alongside whatever other "thank you for updating" webpages my various add-ons have. Ghostery's config screen, the FEBE welcome page, etc. Does anyone know how I can stop this, or what causes it? At first I thought it was an issue with Firefox 3.6, so I updated to Firefox 6; it still happens.

# Make sure that in Tools, Options, Content you don't have 'open tabs from last time' selected.
# In the Tabs section of the Options window, tick 'Ask before closing multiple tabs'.
I think these two should help to resolve the issue.
