Icons Appear as Black Square Exec

All of a sudden, when looking at my photos on my external hard drive in a specific folder, all of the folder icons in Finder appear as the black squre with Exec in each square.
Can anyone please tell me how this happened and how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hopefully the above images will show up here. It seems that all of these pictures' have been changed somehow to a different file type. They were .jpg files, but now they seem to be a Unix file. I have no idea how this happened, but is there a way to change them all all once rather than have to do it individually?

Transfered video's from Casio Exilim appear as black squares in iPhoto 08

Video's appear as black squares within iPhoto instead of first frame. Nevertheless the black squares still have video logo and duration indication and after double click will open and play in Quicktime. However, this is quite inconvenient if you look for specific videos.
How to fix this?
(I used a Casio Exilim compact camera to shoot these videos)

Chrisjan:
Are you able to play the videos even though the thumbnail is black? You might try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

generally if it works the first time, it should continue working.... unless you changed something.
It's really hard to guess what is going on without some code.

Unibody MBP - black squares glitches in OSX but not in bootcamp.

Hi
I have a strange graphics problem with my unibody and just wonder if its worth sending in for a repair or if it might be a known software issue:
Usually when web browsing, the mouse pointer will suddenly become unresponsive for a moment.
It will then just react strangely to my mouse movements - like it is over sensitive.
After this i will then see visual artifacts on the screen.
These appear as black square shapes around various windows.
I then regain full control over my mac but the black squares remain.
If i move an open window over one of the black artifacts it clears.
Occasionally it never recovers and i have to do a hard restart of the machine.
I also found that while attempting to play 'runescape' - a java based 3D game running in a web browser (firefox in this instance) that i would get a severe version of the issue stated above ending with my screen flickering - again forcing a hard restart.
Here is my conundrum though - this ONLY happens in OSX
I run windows7 64bit under bootcamp for gaming and can game for hours at a time with not one single crash or glitch which leads me to question wether this is a hardware issue at all.
I have done a FULL clean install of snow leopard which included trashing my user folder and creating one from fresh. (i only retained my documents).
Any advice / familiar stories would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.

At home I've used both a NetGear and Belkin router (both N band), at work we have various networks using Cisco kit.
The encryption types vary depending on which network I'm connecting to.
The WiFi drops on all of them when in OSX but runs flawlessly on all of them when in Windows 7.
I'm currently sat here at home in the living room connected to a Netgear WNR2000 which is in the room directly above me.
Signal strength is full and the encryption is WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK.
It had been connected for around an hour without disconnecting but then in the last 20 minutes it's disconnected twice; both times refusing to reconnect automatically forcing me to turn the airport off and then back on.
The fact that the same hardware works fine in windows 7 would suggest that this has to be a software issue inside OSX.

TS1702 When I push update icon a small circle appears with a black square inside ?

When I try to update apps I get a circle with small black square inside of it?

This black square with circle will change to "Open" when update is completed.

Icon - outline blue arrow on black square - what is it ?

My wife has just purchased a Q10 (I have a Bold) - having set up Link and sync'ed Outlook contacts and calendar an icon appeared at the top right hand corner of the handset screen (obscuring the network signal strength indicators) whcih is an arrow in blue (outline, not solid) on a square black background - I have searched everywhere to try to find out what that icon is or means and cannot - can someone help me to identify it and what it means ? Thank you.

is the arrow pointing upwards? That wounds like the upper case key is pushed or locked in place. touch the similar key on the bottom of the keyboard... or try the ALT key.

No, there is no yellow star on any of the entries. Each entry has the site's (or company's) logo, as well as the name of the site and URL. There is nothing more in each entry.

Stupid transition bug... black square appears

Hello
I am not very experienced with flash at all... but I wanted to make a nice slide show swf file to go on a CD of images I am creating for someone. I figured out how to put them all in layers, do motion tweening on each after they'd been converted to symbols, brought the color>alpha to zero at frame one and brought it up or down at the right times to fade in and then out.
beautiful...
except it only works on the stage. I can press play and it looks great... but if I test movie or test scene, or even if I export the movie, it doesn't work at all.
As soon as the slides begin a mysterious black square appears. It seems to have something to do with the actual fading in or out. It's not a layer that wasn't set at alpha= 0... I checked and double checked them all. I can't see anything amiss.
I checked the tutorials I could find and nothing seems to be missing and yet, it isn't working so something must be wrong or done incorrectly. I don't understand why I can only see it on testing and not during playback

Same situation here. A workaround is to edit the photo change the filter, save the picture. Now the picture shows up normaly. Do you call the camera app from the lock screen or the home screen?
If I start the camera app from the home screen he problem doesn't appear.

HT3180 I followed instructions above for Apple TV with aluminum remote. Still no response. Screen is black. Apple icon appeared briefly then went back to black screen.

I cannot access Apple TV. I restarted using the instructions to press menu and down together. The apple icon appeared briefly and then the screen went black. What can I do to restore Apple tV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Black square around icons

when I am on the desktop or in an application, there is a black square around icons and I don't know how to get rid of it. Please help.

You turned on VoiceOver, probably by inadvertently hitting Command-F5. Just hit it again to make it go away.

hi i use an old black 60G photo/video ipod. Suddenly it won't recharge, when connected to the pc it emits several cicks in serires and then it shows at intervals a low battery signs and another sign, a sad faced ipod icon with the apple support email address. Any clues and to how I can rescue it? Thank you very much. Alf1962

I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

HT204390 Black squares around icons on ipod

I was playing around with my ipod and found myself in the general section. I clicked a few buttons and now my ipod is talking to me and there is a black square around every icon I click making it so i have to double click every app i want to go in. I have tried to undo what i had done by going back into general and clicking on settings but i cant scroll down to accessibilitys to turn this off. All helps appreciated

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

TS3274 apple icon appears but ipad not responding then the icon disappears to black screen what do i do

my Ipad is not responding the icon appears then disappears to a black screen then appears again whats going on, what do i do

Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to start the iPad, you will need to restore the device. Read this all the way to the end and take note of Recovery Mode. You may need it.
