Welcome Screen Freezes Mac 10.7.5

I downloaded the latest update to PS2014 CC a little bit ago and when I launched it it froze similar to the way Illustrator and In Design did several months ago.
With that prob I had to go to the app's icon, right click and choose "show package contents". From there I had to delete a file but have forgotten what and where it was.
Is anyone else experiencing same prob or know how to delete the conflicting file?
Thanks, Tony

Gautam,
I am having the same issues with both Photoshop and Illustrator.
The Adobe rep helped me install the older version of Photoshop but now having the same issue with Illustrator.
Reverting to the older version is only a temporary fix and does not really seem to be the very best answer, can you offer a better solution that allows the end user to have the latest software and do away with the useless "Welcome" screen?
Yankee has the very same issue I am having. Changing up the preferences file does nothing to help. Need to delete or rename the specific file related to the welcome screen, can you offer help?
Thanks in advance.

Windows 7 x32 freezing at welcome screen

Hi,
I've got an image which is currently deployed around the workplace. Recently we updated the server to ZCM 11.1 and therefore I updated the agent on the previous image, recaptured and redeployed.
I've noticed after a few weeks there are random issues occurring such as the Welcome screen freezing up. Now this did not occur on the same image, different ZCM agent version, but it is occurring now with ZCM agent 11.1. I've got all the latest updates from MS and Novell (updated Novell Client as well) but when users log into a room of 30 computers, a third of the room's computers will freeze up. Powercycling the computer and then attempting to login a second time will generally work OK.
I've gone around and logged in myself to each computer and I had a few freezing up. Eventually I got to a point where it would log in without a hitch. Two days later, staff are complaining of the computers freezing up.
I've looked through Event Viewer but did not find anything out of the ordinary. The workstations do have a DLU applied but users are set to administrators so that doesn't seem to be affecting it I don't think.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues or something similar? Any ideas on what could be causing it?

Good luck,

good to hear
We have 11.1 and i experience random "logon delays" - maybe not connected to the case you described:
* happends very seldom (1 out of 20 or 30 logons)
the logon delay of ca. 30 seconds happens after succesful novell login and before windows logon takes over and shows the "[rotating circle] welcome"
it seems like a timeout with the Zen Agent. Hope i will not see it with 11.2

I'm on the welcome screen in a few steps register and set up your Mac then it freezes

Hey how do I get my Mac to register from the welcome screen it keeps going to a black screen

Take the issue up with whomever replaced the device, whether that is Apple or another company.
There is nothing that we, your fellow users, in these user to user support forums can do for you.

Mac Pro Screen Freezing Issue with NVIDIA 8800 GT too

There were lots of entry in threads, where the screen freezing issue was described (disorted screen with strange lines, only reboot helps). Nearly all cases seem to be related to the ATI 2600 card.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358062&tstart=30
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365277&tstart=0
I opened this new thread to show, that this problems occurs not only for the ATI card but for the NVIDIA 8800 card, too.
My MacPro was delivered 8 days ago and was running without any problems. But all of a sudden, I got that screen freeze. And it wasn't the first time, I was heavely working 2-3 hours with that computer.
In total, 2 screen freezes showed on my computer. The first one during working with the computer. The second one during booting into MacOS X. The screen freeze occured during the boot phase with the grey screen and the spinning wheel.
My configuration:
MacPro 2.8, Dual Quad Core
6 GB RAM
3 harddisks, 1 standard from Apple, 2 Samsung with 750GB
MacOS 10.5.2
Formac 20" Monitor
Perhaps others have this problem, too? Than we should emphasize, that this is not an ATI related problem.

I've actually been having the freezing issue for a while now but I didn't have the know-how to troubleshoot it (PC tech trying to support the only Mac lab in the building).
MacPro will freeze randomly (no trend in time, system strain, or open programs). The mouse will operate but will not interact with anything.
Specs:
MacPro - Model 1,1
Dual Core Xeon 2.66
2gb RAM
nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
Mac OS 10.4.11
The machine always has 2 displays connected to it so the workaround that was discussed for the ATI 2600 doesn't apply. I had 1 display connected here in my shop and it froze for that as well.

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

While using Skype on my mac pro the screen freezes and splits in two and the left hand side shifts to the right and the right shifts to the left with a large black block down the centre, should I take it back to store as it is only a month old??

I have only had my mac one month and it seems while I use Skype the screen freezes and I cant click on anything and everything on the right hand side of the screen shifts to the left and the left to the right with a back block down the centre and sometimes lines running down the screen over all. As it is almost brand new should I be going back to store to get this problem fixed??

Yes. You are still under warranty. Why waste it?

I cannot connect my iPhone 5 32GB IOS 6.02 to iTunes 11.01 on a Mac Book Pro. The screen freezes and doesn't recognize the iPhone at all. Thank you for your help.

Mac OS X Lion Server screen freezes frequently

I have recently purchased the Mac Mini Server with 8GB RAM Upgrade and have been experiencing screen freezes frequently. The Mac Mini is connected to a ViewSonic LED Monitor via an HDMI cable and is running Mac OS X Lion Server.
It all started a month ago and I suspected it was due to an external hard disk I had. When I removed it the problem didn't crop up for a few weeks. So I thought the issue was resolved.
Over the past week the problem re-surfaced again and nearly everyday I am experiencing screen freezing about five times a day and the only option is to power down my Mac Mini Server from the power button. This is becoming increasingly frustrating. When screen freezing occurs, everything freezes and I get some small rectangular boxes on screen moving.
The only things that have changed over the past week was that I installed the latest Safari fix and connected the Harman Kardon Sounsticks II to the Mac Mini.
Can't understand what is happening. From various threads I read, many mac users are experiencing screen freezes. If anyone has any resolutions please let me know.

Lion has a screen refresh bug it is just the screen going to sleep and the the screen updating only where the curser moves.

Power Mac G5 PPC Screen Freeze Turbo Fan Issue

Hello...
I've read most, if not all of the related posts; however, I have not seen any definitive answer to this issue.
My, almost mint condition, Power Mac G5 PPC has recently started the screen freeze, turbo fan, won't boot issue that seems to be prevalent with these models. I've tried almost all of the suggested troubleshooting fixes and have had no luck. My most recent attempt was to try and start in single-user mode (holding SHIFT + S at startup) and I received the following error screen then turbo fans: http://www.thishateofmine.com/Assets/photos/appleCPUpower.jpg
Remember...this is a PPC, so why am I getting an error referencing Intel CPU Power Management? This leads me to believe the OSX 10.5.8 I've been running has installed system resources for non-existent CPU's and is causing a conflict. This would be a major coding error on Apple's behalf, would it not?
I never had this issue when running any previous OS version and this computer had been running spectacularly.
It has only been used in my clean, smoke-free, home recording studio and if it werent' for a few blemishes left by external HDD's, this computer could pass as brand new. There is very little internal dust and I have kept it clean with electronics approved compressed air. I have not removed anything to get at the PSU area for cleaning, though.
If I could get it to boot from the original DVD's and install up from Panther, I would. Based on the error message I'm receiving, I do not believe this is a logic board, RAM, CPU, etc... issue. The computer will boot into open firmware and function fine, but not the OS; therefore, this would be an OS problem, right? Is that not a logical mental path?
This HAS to be a known issue and have a resolve that is NOT logic board and/or CPU replacement related.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW...please read this as a positive communication from a frustrated (knowledgeable enough to be dangerous) user. I just want my G5 back.

After plugging in the G5 PPC, as it had been unplugged for several days, here are last night’s efforts:
With only the original, main Hitachi Deckstar 400GB HDD in slot 1, I attempted to boot normal, boot holding SHIFT + COMMAND + V, boot holding COMMAND + S and boot to the original install DVD, all with no joy. In my original post I incorrectly stated I was attempting to boot into single-user mode by holding SHIFT + S, which resulted in the screen displaying the OP’s linked image. In attempting to boot into (actual) single-user mode and verbose mode, I get two different text messages – and have taken screen photos, but have not been able to upload yet – both of which stop with “DART enabled” and then do nothing else with no cursor capability, only to result in turbo fans and having to hold the power button down to shut down.
Next I ran (again) the Apple Hardware Test from the original install DVD and everything passed.
Feeling confident the hardware is all in working order, I used my brother’s Macbook Pro 3.1 (OS v10.6.8) as the host to mount the G5 PPC in target disk mode. The PPC’s HDD mounts up with no issues and everything is accessible, so I shut down and swapped the original HDD with a 500GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 that did not have an OS on it, restarted to AHT DVD and ran test again with everything passing.
Now I reconnected the target disk mode setup, formatted the PPC’s WD HDD and installed Leopard on it while in TDM from the MBP3.1. Everything installed, restarted will still TDM connected, MBP3.1 started up with the PPC’s HDD as the startup disk, went through all the typical initial install information and registration and voila I’m back in target disk mode with the PPC’s HDD as my boot disk and MBP3.1’s HDD on the desktop. Everything’s accessible, functions and looks good.
Keeping in mind I’m only dangerously knowledgeable regarding computers, I’m thinking I should be able to shut everything down and now boot the G5 PPC from the internal WD HDD I just installed the OS on, right? Wrong. All I get is the infamous folder with a flashing question mark.
Help!!! (…please???)
BTW…as it has been mentioned in a few posts, but is one thing I have not done yet, I thought it worth mentioning. I have not replaced the internal battery, but the last time I was able to get the computer to boot to the internal HDD and run for a short period of time, after being unplugged for several days, I did have to re-enter time, date, location, etc… info. The actual last time I got it to boot, I did not do this, as it only got as far as loading the desktop before freezing, but the time was correct. Didn’t get a chance to check date and location, as it froze almost instantaneously.

New MAC Mini, I can not get past the welcome screen, I choose United States and it does not do anything, I can not prompt done to continue...what am I not doing?

New Mac Mini user, unable to move past welcome screen, what am I doing wrong?

Your new mini comes with 90 days of Apple phone support, which you may want to use. The numbers are here.

Just installed this. When I open it a blank welcome screen comes up and when I try to delete it freezes my computer.

Just installed Photoshop - blank welcome screen comes up and freezes my computer. Any help?

Wait a minute or two for the screen to load the content, scroll to the bottom and checkmark "Don't show welcome screen again"

Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

Hi.
Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
bios-20070709111839.zip
After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
Thanks in advance
MAT

> Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
Good luck
Greetings

Yes, just quit the set up and shut down the Mac.
