Blue question mark email attachment

hi, could someone help me out...
I just set up a yahoo email account on my iPhone so I can send pictures etc. The set up was fine, however I just sent one of my iPhone's pictures through the mail and received the email with attachment, but upon opening, the picture is not displayed and a blue question mark appears in its place. Surely the iPhone is able to show the picture format it sends?!
So where am I going wrong? Any help appreciated!

Yeah, I am having the same problem on my wife's ipod touch. It is connected to her yahoo email and some emails with jpeg attachements come through fine but other do not. She can always view them properly through the web browser on the imac but the ipod touch email just shows the blue question mark for some jpegs. The really weird thing is that jpeg images I send her from my iphone are in the category of the ones that don't show up. I've been searching a bit and haven't found an answer yet... hopefully someone here will have one for us

Upgraded to ios6 on my iphone 3gs and email is not displaying images. It has a blue box with a blue question mark inside

I just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 3gs and I noticed on a couple of incoming emails that the images and information are not being displayed. There is a blue square box with a blue question mark inside. I already tried to press the home key and power key to restart. The email still does not display correctly. I went on my laptop to retrieve that same email and I was able to see the graphics and information, so the problem is on the iphone. I received two emails like this, so I'm missing all the important information. I also tried to retrieve my email through the internet browser and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I have an Ipad 2 also and I can view the email information on there also. I received an email from Party city and it said to click here to print out the coupon. So I click the coupon and there is the little blue box with the question mark. This is the first time I've seen this happen, as I have printed out the coupons before. Maybe it has to do with the IOS6 update, because this just started to happen right after the update.

I have a question regarding a small blue question mark instead of photo, I asked about this and was directed to a question about text edit, which, by the way, a neighbour helped with.

Email photographs not seen, photograph are replaced with a small blue question mark.....what do I need to do to see the pictures ?

Hello tomfromridgetown,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that sometimes when you receive an email it contains a small box with a question mark for the attachment. It sounds like what you may be seeing is a windmill.dat attachment. Please review the attached article for information on what these attachments are and how to avoid them in the future.

Blue question mark instead of my picture message. Can anyone help?

I've recently restored my iPhone 4S and going back through my old messages none of the pictures can be opened. It's replaced with a blue question mark. Can anyone help?

No app installed that will view the pics and bar codes.
Which email client are you using? Which version?
File suffix of the pics & bar codes? Example: .pic, .bmp, .jpg, etc.

On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

Dreaded blue question mark

I am running Mail 2.0.5 and have a problem with just one person who sends me messages with images imbedded that won't open and aren't listed as attachments. All I get is the blue question mark which seems akin to the red X in Windows. Attempts to copy the image don't seen to work. He uses Earthlink as his ISP. I have never had this happen with any other person who sends images. I do have "display remote images in HTML messages" checked. I'm stumped, my Mac friend is stumped, and an answer to the puzzle would be most welcome.

Are the embedded images stored on a remote server which must be downloaded/rendered when the message is opened?
If not, the "display remote images in HTML messages" checked will not resolve it.
Are these forwarded messages that were received by this person and if not, why can't this person attach the images to the message instead of being embedded?
This may require the person not using HTML for message composition but it shouldn't make any difference regarding the option to attach the image files instead of being embedded.

Blue question mark icons

I made my site on iweb and everything looked fine. But after I publish, for some reason some of the links come up as blue question mark icons instead of the hyperlink. All of them are text links. One is a link to an external page, one is a llnk to one of my pages, and the other ones are links for emails.
What's confusing me is the fact that the link to the external age and the link to one of my pages is on the same page. However there's two other links exactly like them on the same page and those two are fine. I looked through the forums and read about the fact that some images might've not gone through. But the funny thing is that I looked through the files and html code and the links that are working don't have any images associated with them. The links that are NOT working however do have images made. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Post your URL and the users here can take a look at what you're seeing. Is this in Safari, Firefox, AND IE or just some of those?

That little blue question mark

I place a hyperlink to 'sending an email' and publish. On the published site a small blue question mark appears however the link is active. Why doesn't the email address show up as on the page in iWeb?
Any ideas?

The little blue question mark on your published pages as viewed in a browser usually indicates that an image was not loaded. You may have to reload the page in order to force the image to download. It might also help to empty your browser cache (Safari>Empty cache) and/or add a "?" to the end of your URL to force the browser/server to fetch a fresh copy of things.
If any of this proves to be useful to you, please do me a favor and mark my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. Thanks.

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks. If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?! I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped. Have any clue what I should do now?

Blue question mark in a box

pictures in my email on my Ipod Touch just started showing up as a blue question mark in a box but were working fine yesterday

Hi Rex,
Who is your ISP and what addresses do you have set in the DNS section of your System Preferences -> Network preferences?
Have you tried logging into a different user account on your machine to see if that has the same problem? This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)
Also, do you use any third party internet software (Norton, Intego, etc.)?

Images show up only as blue question marks

I just purchased a new Macbook Pro approximately one week ago, and concitering it's BRAND NEW I don't understand why I have this problem. On sites like www.deviantart.com and also www.weheartit.com images show up as blue question marks... I have downloaded both chrome and firefox to check if they were any different, but the same images wont load there either. I've read some about this, but no one seems to have any other advice than to "check preferences" and set it to "show images" or something, as far as i can see there is nothing wrong with the preferences. I have also downloaded and updated to the latest versions of both java and flash, but nothing seems to work. This is getting really frustrating, and I am desperate for help! I greatly appreciate ANY advice. Thanks in advance

this is what I get on deviantart
and well, basically this is weheartit
Thanks!
