Try restarting your Mac while holding down the Option key.
Hopefully you'll see the Startup Manager window where you can select the statup disk and click Restart.

  • I used to have icons for my two printers in my dock.  Now there are only question marks. How do I get the icons back?

    How do I get my printer icons back on my dock?  I went to System Preferences and tried to drag the pix of the printer to the dock.  Would not work.  No icon in Applications to use.

    I just tried something. I printed a page from my printer; printer icon showed up in dock.  I quickly right clicked on the icon and selected Options/Keep in Dock.  Now my icons are back.

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    Try this  - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • I updated to Yosemite and now I can't open my YNAB finance app. There is a question mark in the Dock where the App should be and when I hover over the question mark it does say YNAB but I can't open it.

    I updated to Yosemite and now I can't open my YNAB finance app. There is a question mark in the Dock where the App should be and when I hover over the question mark it does say YNAB but I can't open it. When I double click on the question mark nothing happens. Has the link to YNAB been broken with the update? Has this happened to anyone else?

    Check the Application folder.
    If it is not there, contact YNAB Finance for a OS X Yosemite compatible version of the application.
    Best.

  • There is a question mark on my hard drive disk, how do I get rid of it.

    There is a question mark on my hard drive disk, how do I get rid of it. I recently went to the genius bar in Albuquerque, NM and they restarted it and did a partition on it and what I needed was fixed but I still have a  question mark on my start up disk.

    There is no startup system on it. Or, you need to open Startup Disk preferences and select a startup disk. Or your startup disk lacks a name such as "Macintosh HD," for example.

    I use picasa for my photos..currently there is a question mark imposed over the icon on the dock and it won't open...what does this mean?
    Thanks for any help.

    The icon in the dock is a shortcut to the app itself.....for some reason the icon has lost contact with the app.......go to your Applications folder and drag Picasa back to the dock....a new alias (shortcut) will be created.....

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would recommend downloading Keynote again via your past purchases.  Here are the steps that will walk you through downloading it again from the Mac App Store.

  • Folder with Question Mark Blinking

    I was doing a lot of video work yesterday and knew my hard disk was low on memory. I thought I had about one gb of space left when I shut it down. I tried turning it on and now I can do nothing all I get is a folder with a question mark blinking. Is there anyway I can get onto my computer and delete some flies? Am I kind of screwed at this point? Any help resolving this would be great. Or any ideas as to what I can do to remedy the situation would be awesome...

  • Hello, mac mini will not boot. I get a file symbol with a question mark, then a white screen, Hello, mac mini will not boot. I get a file symbol with a question mark, then a white screen

    Hello, My mac mini will not boot. When I turn it on, I get the chime, then the white screen, then the apple symbol, then a file symbol with a question mark, then the white screen and then it stays like that.
    Is this a bad hard drive?

    Sounds like it.  Try booting from your OSX restore DVDs - startup and hold down "C".  This will take AGES! Then run Disk Utility from the menu. 
    The flashing ? means your system is corrupt, dead, not there, on a dying HD, etc...
