Matlab online will not load
Show older comments
When I try to open Matlab online it just gets stuck in the loading screen. It has been doing this since yesterday when I tried to use strcmp in a for loop of a file with like 2000 lines.

I have the same problem. I was running my code in Matlab Online when the compiler got stuck. Do I have to contact with tech support?

If that does not resolve the problem I would recommend contacting Technical Support (using the Contact Us link in the upper-right corner of this page) to determine if you have encountered the same bug to which Hisham referred or what's preventing MATLAB Online from loading on your machine if not. When you contact Support, tell them you've already tried what's described in that Answers post.

Hello!
My name is Ovanes Petrosian. I am having the same problem right now. Tomorrow I will have a conference, but now I cannot run my Matlab code to generate figures etc. Yesterday I was loading some huge symbolic formulas and now it is just not working.
I cannot run my Matlab code When I even start some simle thing like open a several .m file it is stuck etc.
I need help right now or I will just switch to something like Mathematica or Python.
Best regards, Ovanes.

- The line of code given in the error message does not occur in the code you posted. The code you posted does not have a file path in imread()
- The line of code that gives the error message is executing on MATLAB Online, which executes on Linux, but the line of code attempts to use MS Windows path syntax. Your MATLAB Online system has no concept of a C: disk and uses forward slash / rather than backwards slash \ to separate directory parts.

I'm getting the same. Problem. They say removing the files with the.asv extension clears pending sessions but it's not working. Is it a server problem and will it be resolved automatically? HELP

When I try to click the 'Open MATLAB Online' button, it shows the loading screen and then goes back to the screen with the 'Open MATLAB Online' button, but Matlab does not open. Tried with Chrome and Edge and both experienced the same problem.

There was an incident on December 4th according to the Application Status page but it indicates MATLAB Online should be operating normally. Please contact Technical Support and work with the support staff to determine the cause of this problem.

Hi,
I have a problem with matlab online. I'm trying to open a new session, but it's stuck on loading mode. And after that it appears that the session does not respond. If I click on the new session, the same situation. I deleted the other files from the drive thinking they were the problem but no. I have also included images below. Please help me, I really need to solve this problem.
Thank you.

SOLVED
In my case, apparently the problem was that I was accessing from a different location (coutry). I solved it by changing the country in my account configuration.
Kind regards,
Jose

My MATLAB Online session got stuck "initializing" for a while.
I opened an example from the documentation using the "open in MATLAB online" button and that solved it; it finished the old session and opened a new one.
Hope this might help troublehooting

Matlab online is not working. Not only in my computer. I think It is a general problem.
Support service could confirm general problems?

Yea support is useless. They just need to end your hung up session but their support doesn't use logic or something because you're going to have to hold their hand to do their job.

Try again. The people in the know said yesterday: "There was a router failure last night, MATLAB Online was running normally at about 4am."
Call them if you continue to not be able to access it.

Yes, the problem is still there. Yesterday I could log-in MatLab three times. With some problems in the middle of those three times. Thereafter I cannot log-in any more. It is an irony that a math program behaves chaotically. Frustrating :(

Hi,
I have faced an issue regarding MATLAB online. Evenif I have a licence with image processing toolbox, while I am using the functions imguidedfilter(A), imgaussfilt (A,2) it throws an error of
imgaussfilt requires Image Processing Toolbox.
