Iphone 3g S viewing email pics are showing as blue boxes with question mark

I am trying to view an e-mail on my iphone 3g S and the pics are not displaying. Instead little blue boxes with question marks are showing. Any ideas on why this is happening?

The pictures couldn't be loaded due to one or more reasons. Some common reasons are: your email server timed out, the photo was taking too long to load, you had poor signal strength, the file was corrupted, the download failed, or the photo couldn't be displayed because the file type wasn't supported.

    Hi...
    only when I'm using my home router
    Try turning the router off for about 5 minutes, then turn it back on. Same with your Mac.
    Then go to  ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    For Lion v10.7x:  To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Now try Safari ...
    Tip ...  since you are running v10.7 Lion, the only way to reinstall Safari would be to use Lion Recovery. Downloading and installing Safari from the Apple support page will not work on Lion.

  • On websites, images are showing up as boxes with question marks. What do I do to fix it?

    It just started yesterday, out of the blue. Also, sometimes, a URL without a www. will say that Safari cannot recognize the server. It happens on Apple.com, too.

    Don't use Safari in 10.6.8 or earlier, Apple hasn't released a update for Safari (Safari 6) to fix security issues and I don't think they ever will because they are complete a-holes if you don't or can't upgrade your OS to one of the two latest ones in circulation, currently 10.7 and 10.8.
    Use Firefox instead and see if your issues continue, if they do then run through this list of fixes.

  • Craigsphone app pictures are blue boxes with question marks?

    When I use the Craigsphone app for my iPhone, the images are now blue boxes with question marks.  The pictures used to show up fine, but now don't.  Is there a setting somewhere I need to change and if so, where is it?  I've been through my phone and can't figure it out.  I've also restarted and restored my phone and that hasn't worked.
    Thanks in advance!

    I am also running into this problem. net every picture doesn't show though, just maybe three quarters worth.

  • Incoming emails don't display any pictures only small blue boxes with question marks

    As my question explains I am unable to view any pictures, photos, etc, all in coming mail displays writing only and small blue boxes with ? In their place.
    This problem began occasionally at first and has got increasingly worse, please help

    Try this. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Mail>Load Remote Images>On.
    If they are still not visible, quit the mail app and restart the iPad, and then look again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I get blue box with question mark for pictures in my email

    so it was working fine before
    and the problems just appeared few mins ago
    after my wifi connection disconnects and I turned off the wifi and restarted it
    and now all of sudden it won't show pictures in my email like every single email
    i turned ipad off and on but still not working
    anyone know how to deal with this problem

    I have always left "load remote images" turned off.
    If you get some junk mail (aka SPAM), when you view that email the images will load. The spammers can use this fact to determine that your email address is valid and will add it to their list of know good email addresses.
    Is there an option to "Load Images" for each message? (Awaiting delivery of my 64GB 3G iPad).

  • Facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome.

    Since July on MacBook Pro facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome. Everything is up to date including last version of Adobe Flash. And watching YouTube also a problem. Video is skipping, freezing for few seconds and jumps forward. At the same time on Toshiba with Windows Vista under the same account, same wi-fi connection everything works fine.
    Please help with sugesstions to fix the issue.

    Seems like problem is solved but it might be temporarily. Anyway. Click on the image, it will open facebook photo browser. Image is not loading so right click on the blue box with question mark, save image as. It will start downloading but without any success since browser do not see the image. After this attempt refresh the page and close all tabs with facebook. Try to open facebook once again. For some reason after this weird actions all images displayed properly. Do not know for how long but now it works.

  • Blue icon with question mark instead of image in email

    Sometimes I get a blue icon with question mark instead of image in email, when viewing in Apple Mail Program.
    Does anyone know why?????

    I'm asking your thread get redirected to the proper forum. Please read this tip on how to post on Discussions for future threads:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1574700
    Is this issue with Tiger or Leopard? Your profile indicates you have a machine with Tiger, yet your signature of your post says you have Leopard.
    Also, there is no such thing as a Powerbook Pro. Read the text under the screen to tell us exactly which model you have. MacBook Pro is the name given to Macs that are for the pro lineup of notebooks once Apple shifted to the Intel CPU.

  • Safari Quicktime plug-in is showing me a Q with question mark in the middle

    Safari Quicktime plug-in is showing me a Q with question mark in the middle.
    Anyone know what this could be about?
    Just upgraded to Quicktime Pro; then the Q-question started showing up as web pages were opened.
    Don't think my QT prefs changed inbetween un-pro and registration.
    TIA
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi Bill
    Welcome to Apple Discussion
    Several places to check
    Safari Preferences>Security>Web Content: 4 boxes selected
    System Preferences: Quicktime>Advanced settings:
    Enable flash ought to be checked
    - Mime Settings: still images - everything but Photoshop, Flash Pic and PDF selected; video - at least Quicktime Movie. Miscellaneous - nothing checked.
    Make sure your Flash plug-in is up-to-date. Latest version is 9.0.45. You can check your current version here.
    If you have an older version, download a current copy from here. If you need to install, Safari opens to an Adobe site after the install, confirming the installation worked correctly. Quit Safari and "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder before you restart Safari.
    If you don't need to upgrade the Flash plug-in, still "repair permissions" to make sure permissions are up-to-date.

  • HT201328 How can I retrieve phone numbers in my contacts on my Iphone 4S?  Only email addresses are showing up.

    How can I retrieve phone numbers in my contacts? Only email addresses are showing.  This is on my Iphone 4S.  Thanks!

    Phone numbers are on phone only. I haven't been using iCloud to sync with iPad & Mac yet. This morning I started to text & my yahoo acct popped up &'asked for my password. When I entered it, that's when all info disappeared except for email addresses.
