Yellow Warning Triangles

I made a book in iphoto and for some reason there is a yellow warning triangle at the top of every picture and page (evens pages with only words that do fit in the box). And when I try to preview the book it loads halfway then comes up with a notice saying, There is a problem with the photo with the filename “n55266606723501403857.jpg.” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book, then stops. And when I clicked "buy book" to see what would happen and it says, One or more photos in your book may print at too low a quality based on the design you have chosen. Do you want to continue?
How do I fix this???

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt.
That sound like the original file may be missing or the link to it broken. Find that photo in the Photos mode and try to edit it. Report back what you get.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • On the imovi project I have created there are now yellow warning triangles saying the the clip is missing. How do I get the clip back?

    I have created a project in Imovi and when I went back onto it all the clips had a yellow warning triangle with the error message clip missing.  How do I retrieve the clips after all my hard work?

    I don't use the latest iMovie version, so the steps may be different....... but, you can try a couple of things:
    when you got the warning that the clips couldn't be located, was there an option to "find them"? If so, click on that and then navigate to that folder on your desktop (after that, leave the folder where it is - iMovie will need to find them again the next time); or
    attach your camera and see if you can get iMovie to 'find' them there, or
    simply try to import the clips (File > import) and see if you can integrate them that way.
    The next time you start a project, I'd suggest you either
    leave the camera attached when you work on the project (as that is where iMovie expects them to be) or
    download everything from your camera to your desktop into a folder. Then import into iMovie from there. Do not throw out or move that folder until your project has been finalized,, exported, shared, or burned - those processes will result in having a complete project which includes all the files, clips, etc. Until then, iMovie just "finds" all the files it needs in their original location.

  • Missing media, yellow warning triangles.

    I've recently consolidated my iTunes music library from an old external drive onto my new 1TB internal drive. Now I'm noticing in iMovie 09 that all the music is missing with yellow warning triangles.
    Obviously iMovie is linking to the files that used to live on my old external drive. I can't find a way to repair the missing links.
    Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly received.

  • Yellow warning triangle in title bar

    Every Indesign doc I open has a yellow warning triangle next to the name in the title bar. I hadn't seen this before. Tried clicking/double clicking etc. but I can't find what the triangle is trying to tell me.  (Mac CS 5 Lion)

    Please post a screen shot. You can use the camera icon on the web page to embed it in your post like this:
    Are these older files that you are opeing for the first time in a new verion of ID? I've never heard of a warning triangle, but it might be some sort of Lion-only enhancement telling you that the file has not been saved. What version of ID are you using?

  • Swf won't load on device - Flash icon with yellow warning triangle and number 9

    I have an internet tablet - the Archos 5. I'm trying to
    create a swf file that runs on the device. I made a small "hello
    world" application in Flex 3. When I try to run it on the device I
    get a blank white screen with a flash icon in the center. To the
    lower right of the flash icon is a yellow "warning" triangle with
    the number 9 inside of it.
    I loaded the flash version checker on the device and that
    runs properly. It claims that the player version is:
    AFL 9,1,115,0
    Debug player: No
    OS: Linux
    Video capable: Yes
    Audio capable: Yes
    Local File i/o enabled: No
    Any hints as to what settings I need to switch in Flex 3 so I
    can create applications for this device? The only thing I see that
    looked promising is the "Require Flash Player version" setting, but
    that's set to 9.0.124 - lower than the 9.1.115 version on the
    device.
    Thanks for any help

    Flex does not run on all devices yet. Maybe it does not run
    on this one yet.

  • Yellow warning triangle badge

    I've just found that a bunch of my photos in one project have a yellow triangle badge on them. In the manual (page 291) it says "The referenced image’s master has not been found." How could it have got lost? How do I get it back? I'm on Aperture 2.1.2.

    Fortunately I had taken regular Time Machine backups.
    Somehow I had the masters in a directory which I had deleted - I don't remember how. But when I looked up the Reference (File - Managed Referenced Files) I could see where the files had been and then recover that directory.
    It seemed to take Aperture a few minutes to recognise all was well again but it now has and I can edit them as before.

  • What does the yellow warning triangle on my purple event icon mean?

    what does it mean and how do i remove it?

    As Tom mentioned, this is an indicator that something isn't linked correctly. A file may be missing while you may be playing back a rendered version of a file, you won'y be able to make changes to it without relinking it.
    The way to eliminate the warning is to select your event, then select File > Relink Event Files. Select Missing and relink to the file(s) you need. This will remove the warning icon until another link can't be located by FCPx.

  • HT204402 Renaming an event in iMovie and yellow warning triangles

    Im new to the world of apple and iMovie and have made the mistake of completing a project and then renaming my events to tidy things up. I've since been told that this was a stupid thing to do and my project cannot locate the footage from the event (even though the footage still exists in the newly renamed event folder).
    How can I relinking the footage back so that the project recognises it again? Or will I have to create it all over again? The project was two hours long so I really want to try a d avoid redoing it.

  • Why is the music clip marked with a yellow warning sign?

    While browsing my project library today, I noticed that every music clip associated with a particular project is marked with a yellow "warning" triangle (with an exclamation point in the center). What's worse, the music won't play.
    I had previously uploaded this video to YouTube, where it now plays just fine. But I'm still puzzled by the warning sign, and by the fact that the music won't play when I take a look at it in my Project Library.
    I've never had a warning sign like this emerge in connection with anything else I've put together with iMovie. Why is it there, and why are the music clips inoperative? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi !
    I have a question. I had that little warning sign as well but in the clip I had just imported into the event library... I don't understand because when I went to the folder in which iMovie copies the clips I import, it was right there. Same name, same size, same runtime... and it played perfectly; and I could preview the clip in iMovie. But the thumbnail was gray with that little sign. Also, I couldn't delete the clip from my library.
    I closed iMovie, started it again... the clip is in the library, no more gray thumbnail and little yellow sign.
    How is that possible ?!

  • How to dismiss a warning triangle

    I have an HP Deskjet F2480 and it is working fine. However, the Print Queue window, and the Dock Icon has a yellow warning triangle. The message says "The following genuine HP ink cartridges are installed: Black". It has been like this for weeks.
    Is there a way to dismiss this "informative" message so that the warning triangle goes away?
    I have tried the HP Utility application and the HP Message Center application, but the message only appears in the Print Queue window and its dock icon.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • **** warning triangles

    I have spent ages preparing this short movie (about 10 minutes long) and now for some reason most of the clips have all gone black with yellow warning triangles that say "this clip's media files are currently unavailable". All the footage was downloaded froma canon ixus 75. I can't understand it- it's really busting my balls. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

    did you move the location of the events/media files (or delete them) in the Finder? if so, quit iMovie and put them back where they were. that should fix your problem. also, the same thing goes if you changed the name of your event folders, quit iMovie and change the name back to what they were. lastly, if your files are on a external disk drive, check and make sure that the drive is powered on and connected.
    each project uses the media files on disk that are stored in the event folders. if you need to move or reorganize these files, do it within iMovie -- all the projects will be able to track the changes. i've noticed that if you change the files outside of iMovie you will not have the same results, you will get the triangles. best wishes.

  • Yellow warning Icon

    I shot 8000 photos during a visit to New Zealand and have been rating them over the last few weeks. When I launch Aperture after a session of rating and delating photos with a yellow triangle and little pointer over them are in the viewer. When I try to make an adjustment to the photos with the yellow icon the HUD has a message "image not found." I check some other projects and found all of the images had the yellow icon with the arrow pointing to the left. What happened and how can I get my photos back.

    The arrow symbol means that they are referenced images (stored outside the Library). The warning triangle means that the referenced images cannot be found. Have you been moving or renaming any files recently?
    Hopefully you can fix it by selecting the images and going to File>Manage Referenced Images... and pointing Aperture towards the new location of the files.

  • LR 3 Highlight Clipping Warning Triangle Colors

    A friend of mine has seen the colors of the highlight and black clipping warning triangles in the LR3 histogram panel change color to cyan (pink) and yellow but doesn't know what these are indicating.
    I tried to replicate this in LR4 but only saw (what looks like) pink (but may be red), blue and green.
    Does anyone know what the yellow and pink triangles mean?
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Red and blue are the only two colors that the clipping indicator will show on the picture. I don't know where you would be seeing a green overlay.
    In the two triangles themselves. And in the picture itself when holding down the Alt key while changing exposure etc.
    E.g. crop a small green patch out of a picture, increase the saturation, so a clear green peak appears in the histogram, then increase the exposure. The moment the green peak touches the right border of the histogram, the right triangle turns green (best seen in PV2010 because PV2012 does automatic highlight recovery). As soon as e.g. the red peak follows, the triangle turns yellow. Only if all three colors touch the right border, the trangle turns white.
    The same colors appear in the affected image areas if the slider is changes with the Alt key held down.
    Edit: Screenshot of histogram with green peak touching right border:

  • Warning triangles on brush properties...

    i was doodling along just fine with Ps CC 2014, when my brush properties suddenly spawned warning triangle. brush pressure, etc. no longer works.
    what happened?
    i've asked this question a few times now, but no response. worse, when i look through posts from other people with similar issues, there's no answer.
    why not?
    i have win8/cc 2014/intuos 5 ...btw, win8/Ps-CS6/Intuos5 combo doesn't have this problem.
    granted, my measly $10 a month is chump change to adobe, but still, there should be some response. the way i see it right now, i'm paying monthly for an inferior product that's been rife with bugs and hasn't worked properly since i installed it back in june. pretty-much decided that if there's no improvement by the end of august, i'm going back to my tried-n-true Ps-CS6....  (′ɛ‵;)

    i've seen that response, and, well, i don't really understand it (not very computer savvy). just what is it that the code is suppose to do?  however, i do see a number of follow up comments that say it *doesn't* work.
    the bigger question i have is: why were my brushes just fine for the first couple of months, and then stopped working? and why have i never had this problem with Ps-CS6?
