Using an IPAD 2 running 5.0.1 is frequently shutting down in the middle of a variety of Apps and showing the Apple splash screen for several minutes. This happens occasionally at inopportune times. Once the splash screen clears it goes back to the logon screen and the App that was open is closed. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a resolution?

I don't think that there is ever a good time for this to occur.
What do you mean the Apple splash screen? You see the Apple logo on the screen?
It appears as though your apps are crashing. Have you tried quitting apps and restarting? Reset the iPad?
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
Creating a splash screen for your app.
Im trying to create a splash screen for my app but im not too sure how it's done.
Im using the following piece of code.
public static void main(String[] args)
JPanel display = new JPanel();
display.setPreferredSize(new Dimension( (300), (200) ));
display.setBackground(Color.white);
// I WILL PUT AN IMAGE ICON ON A JLABEL HERE
display.setVisible(true);
// I WILL NEED A DELAY HERE
test.instance();
}The problem I am having is that the JPanel is not being displayed. I will also need a way to create a delay, I know that I can't just use Thread.sleep(5000); because the JPanel will require the thread to be running in order to display the panel.
Does anyone know how I could get my JPanel to display and somehow insert a delay before test.instance();?
Thanks.I made my own a few days before for a database program. It can be easily done with Threads.
I recommend you create a new class to be used as the spalsh screen , it has to extends JFrame and implements Runnable.
I ll give you an example. I used the spash screen to display the screen and also to laod the main GUI form so that when the spash screen dispose, the main GUI form displays instantly, making the user think that the application loads faster.
public void run ()
try
this.setVisible(true);
Thread.sleep(2000);
// sets the menu visible before disposing
guiMenu.setVisible(true);
// disposes the object and returns the resources to the OS
this.dispose();
catch(InterruptedException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
// this method must be implement in the class
// that implements Runnable interface
//MAIN
public class Main
public static void main(String[] args)
Menu menu = new Menu();
SplashScreen introScreen = new SplashScreen(menu);
ExecutorService splashExecutor= Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
splashExecutor.execute(introScreen);
}ExecutorService is a subinterface of Executor that declares methods for managing the threads. It also has the method execute (that provides the Executor interface) which when invoked calls the method public void run() of the argument class that must implement Runnable.
Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1); creates a poll consisting of a 1 thread which is been used by splashExecutor to execute the Runnable.
Hope i've been of some assistance! -
Problem in displaying splash screen..
Hi..
First of all my apology to repost the question as i was asked to post it here for the answer.I've developed a desktop application which has a splash screen.I'm using netbeans 6.0.Now, i am able to view the splash screen if i 'build' and 'run' the application in the IDE.But when i run the jar file i am not able to see the splash screen.
This is how i've put the splash screen for my application.In project->properties->run->in VM options : splash.gif. Please help to display the splash screen when i run just the jar file.
Thank youI don't understand what the way you're doing. It's a Netbeans option??
Currently I'm developing a Swing app and I have a splash window. The way I've done it is creating a sublcass of JWindow, adding a panel, a JLabel and setting an icon.
Like this:
public class InitSplash extends JWindow {
public InitSplash(Frame owner) throws HeadlessException {
super(owner);
initGUI();
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Dimension labelSize = jLabel.getPreferredSize();
setLocation(screenSize.width / 2 - (labelSize.width / 2),
screenSize.height / 2 - (labelSize.height / 2));
private void initGUI() {
try {
this.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(110, 150));
this.setLocationByPlatform(true);
jPanel1 = new JPanel();
getContentPane().add(jPanel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
jPanel1.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255,255,255));
jPanel1.setBorder(new LineBorder(new java.awt.Color(0,0,0), 2, false));
jLabel = new JLabel();
jPanel1.add(jLabel);
jLabel
.setIcon(new ImageIcon(
getClass()
.getClassLoader()
.getResource(
"com/ttt/common/gui/graphics/logo-transparente.gif")));
msgLabel = new JLabel();
jPanel1.add(msgLabel);
msgLabel.setText("Loading...");
msgLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma",1,12));
msgLabel.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(102, 25));
msgLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
pack();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}Is this what you are trying? -
Chromeless splash screen for application
hi!
Anyone know how to create a Chromeless splash screen for java application.Just like the startup screen for the normal application? When the java application start-up the screen will show, it's close after a few screen or user click a button.
and is there anyway to add background image for a java application?
Thank in advance!
jethi there, check a look at this code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Splash implements Runnable, mainInterface{
private String initMsg;
public Splash(String initMsg) {
this.initMsg = initMsg;
public void run() {
splashWindow.getContentPane().add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
splashWindow.pack();
splashWindow.setSize(splashWindow.getSize().width, splashWindow.getSize().height);
splashWindow.setLocation(dim.width/2 - splashWindow.getWidth() /2,dim.height/2 -
splashWindow.getHeight()/2);
splashWindow.toFront();
splashWindow.show(); }
public JWindow getWindow()
return splashWindow;
}add this code to the main file
private static void splash()
th.start(); // I sleep to let the thread startup and display the window
while (splash3.getWindow() == null || !splash3.getWindow().isShowing())
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
catch (InterruptedException e){}
}hope u understand this

Screen freezes randomly for short periods of time [Solved]
I'm not sure when this started to happen, but my screen will freeze (not refresh) randomly for short periods of time (about 5 seconds). The mouse cursor still active and anything I click on will eventually catch up once the screen refreshes.
I'm assuming this is an Xorg issue, or perhaps and Nvidia issue, but here are some details:
KDE 4.4
Kernel 2.6.32-ARCH 64
Nvidia 195.36.15
And here is my Xorg.conf:

Needless to say this is very annoying/embarrassing when I try and show people stuff, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Last edited by fini_fly (2010-05-21 13:47:20)What you can try is to add:
option "UseEvents" "false"
(also try "true" and see if it works for you)
to your xorg.conf under the device section. Play with both false and true settings, UseEvents is somewhat related to the short freezes and the nvidia guys mentioned they disabled this feature a few driver releases ago (as far as i know from researching their forums). Otherwise we probably have to wait for a new driver series.
Another tweak would be to check if you use MSI for your nvidia card:
cat /proc/interrupts:
22: 0 4 1106 297835 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb3
23: 1 17 3275 890447 IO-APIC-fasteoi hda_intel
27: 2 13 1035 342106 PCI-MSI-edge ahci
28: 5 337 26356 7568321 PCI-MSI-edge eth0
29: 6 92 10219 1998835 PCI-MSI-edge nvidia
NMI: 0 0 0 0 Non-maskable interrupts
add this to /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf: (does not work with all nvidia cards but i can confirm it works with the 200 series)
options nvidia NVreg_EnableMSI=1
While using MSI slightly improves performance some people reported it also shortens the occasional freezes.
As said in the post above this is only for nvidia and it may or may not help for some gpu's.

Lightroom won't boot -I only get the splash screen for a second.
I do have the photographers version of the Creative Cloud which included Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom. Everything was working just fine until I upgraded to Lightroom version 5.6. Now when I try to load LR, the slash screen shows for a second then disappears and LR does not load. This occurs on both my Mac (a Mac Pro and a iMac). I uninstalled LR and had creative cloud reinstall but still the same thing is happening - Splash screen for a second then nothing. Again, this is happening on both Mac's. Photoshop CC 2014 I working just fine.
Before I call Adobe, any ideas here on this issue. BTW, Creative Cloud App states LR in up to date and installed.
Thanks

Show splash screen for x amount of seconds
Is there a better way to show a splash screen for x seconds than putting it in a while loop? It just seems so inefficiant and it uses a lot of processing power. This is what I have: long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
while(System.getCurrentTimeMillis() <= startTime + 5000) {
//wait
mainPage.setVisible(true);javax.swing.Timer.
Also:

Excel 2013 stalling at splash screen for files in use by others
Excel 2013 is stalling (and not opening) when trying to open a file that is in use by another user. In office 2010 it would prompt the user to open in read-only mode, but in 2013 it seems to just stall and never open. It just stays on the splash screen
for ever. We have done some testing and it appears that double clicking on an excel file causes this to occur, but will function correctly if the file is opened through excel's file browser. Any suggestions on how to fix this? It's a pain to make
all the users open excel first, then browse through a lengthy network location. Thanks in advance!
For information purposes: these are files on a network location shared by many users.Hi,
Did the issue occur when you just installed the Office 2013 or after using Office 2013 sometimes? I recommend we try the following methods and test to check if they are helpful.
1. Click the File tab>Options>Advanced>scroll down to the General section>Clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in the General area.
2. Install the latest Cumulative Update for Excel
3. Right click on the Start Button>Click 'Open Windows Explorer'> click Organize > Layout> Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear the checkbox and then click OK.
4. Check/Disable the Excel add-ins
5. Repair Office.
Hope it's helpful.
Regards,
George Zhao

OpenSUSE-inspired splash screen for GIMP
I saw this (old) openSUSE splash screen for GIMP and quite liked it:
And so I created a new version of it, using Inkscape. The PNG splash screen should be placed in $HOME/.gimp-2.6/splashes/ (or .gimp-2.7/ if you're using gimp-devel). The font used is FifthLeg, which is based upon the font used in the openSUSE splash, and can be found in the AUR under otf-fifthleg: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23740.
The quick install (original version):
mkdir -p $HOME/.gimp-2.8/splashes
wget http://oi43.tinypic.com/s33fo9.jpg -O $HOME/.gimp-2.8/splashes/gimp-splash.png
Here is the SVG file, in case you want to scale it up/down or change anything for your usage:
http://www.mdn.fm/files/100696_f4f0h/gimp-splash.svg
Screenshot:
EDIT: Switched image hosting from ImageShack to TinyPic ... ImageShack has been very unreliable in the past few years.
EDIT: Updated links (TinyPic is forcing the extension to JPG for whatever reason, but the file itself is a PNG). SVG link is dead.

Yes, I appreciate the irony there. I wanted it to be easily scalable, and I didn't want to make some gigantic XCF.
That and, I wanted to learn a little more about Inkscape. The combination of the two (GIMP, Inkscape) is outstanding.

How do you fix Sent emails getting s tuck in Outbox for a period of time before they actually send?
The error message says that my "sender address is rejected by the server", but it eventually does send.Have you tried a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

Some songs I purchased last night are not playing all the way through. Several songs from the 4 albums I purchased play for a period of time then just skip to the next song. The songs that do this, do it everytime they are played at the exact same spot. The songs that are affected skip to the next on iTunes on my PC which is updated to the most current iTunes and my 160gb iPod classic. Everytime they are played at the exact same spot. However on my other device, iPhone 4s all songs play just fine. I have almost 7,000 songs on my iPod and this has never happened before and I have played it awhile since downloading those albums yesterday. This is only happening with the albums purchased yesterday. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?
I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.
