  • Help! Folder icon with exclamation mark!

    Hello. I turned my iPod Nano on and all I got was a folder
    icon and an exclamation mark! How do I get this off? The
    computer wont recognize it!

    I had the same problem on my Nano last week. I also had it a couple of weeks after it first came out and had to send it back to be repaired - useless idiots took 2 months and they didn't even know where my iPod was so they just sent me a new one.
    Anyway....
    I tried doing the restore factory settings with the updater but it didn't work, i got "firmware update failure. Disk write error". Faffed about with it for ages and then decided to format using Windows which then allowed the iPod updater to work and restore the factory settings.
    All sorted now!!!

  • Folder icon with exclamation mark and no comms with laptop whatsoever!!!

    My mini ipod has taken me to my wits end. My ipod always opens with a folder icon with an exclamation mark. I can get it in to disk mode but my laptop doesn't see it whether I'm using itunes, explorer, or updater. When the mini ipod is plugged into my laptop it displays 'do not disconnect' and the circular arrows in the top left hand corner are displayed but they aren't moving. I've been all over the website but everything seems to assume I can communicate with the **** thing. Restore seems to be the preferred option but as I can't communicate with it that isn't possible as far as I can see. This happened when I tried to updated ipod software from version 1.3 to version 1.4. It's not possible to go back as I can't communicate with the ipod in order to perform this task. It's going to get lobbed out of a high building soon and replaced with a Sony......can any get me out of this hole???

  • BIG whammy of a problem, code 1418 and folder icon with exclamation mark!!

    I think my ipod's gone to ****. A while ago while walking home listening to my ipod, it just stopped. Looked at it and saw the folder+ !. I searched the net and saw that it probably just needed to be restored. So i tried to restore it, it froze. Updated to newest iTunes, but it wouldn't work on my comp. Anyways, I've formatted my comp, so i'm starting new here. My iPod still has that icon, so i connected it to my comp, and got it to start restoring, only part way through it to get the 1418 error code. It's an old 20gig 3rd gen, but it always worked fine. And actually now as I'm typing this, I can't get the bugger to connect to my comp anymore. It just keeps showing the folder icon. I have no idea what to do with this anymore. I've read tons of post in regards to 1418 but they're all in relation to nanos, video ipods, and shuffles. Any help would be amazingly appreciated because I can't afford a new iPod. Thanks!

    Let's get some information for the Apple Engineers. Please copy and paste these questions into an email, make the subject of the email "iPod error report", add your answers, and send the email to Roy at Apple.
    1. What error code are you seeing?
    2. When are you seeing it (restoring or updating your iPod)?
    3. Which iPod do you have?
    4. What version of Windows do you have?
    5. What Windows service pack do you have installed?

  • Red stopsign with exclamation mark when I try to open iTunes!

    When I click on the iTunes icon in the dashboard, a window comes up that has a stopsign with an exclamation mark. This can't be good..... What does this mean and how can I get back my iTunes?
    Help!
    Thanks.
    PS: I just did the last software update a few days ago and remember there was something regarding iTunes there. Not sure if that is relevant. I also had a system crash a couple of days ago and got nothing but the blue screen until I removed my battery and reinserted it....again, not certain if this is relevant either.....

    Thanks for responding Chris. I repaired permissions (there were alot) but not sure how to run Disk First Aid as the repair permissions area is actually under the "first aid" button. If there is another step, can you walk me through it?
    After I repaired permissions I rebooted but I still cannot open iTunes - the same stopsign with exclamation mark and iTunes logo come up....

    Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
    Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

  • How to delete the tracks with exclamation marks?

    I have just moved about 10 gigabytes of music I don't listen to off my hard disk to an external hard drive. This was to declutter my hard drive and get me down to about 50% free. Itunes now has all the moved tracks still listed with exclamation marks next to them all now. I want rid of these songs from my Itunes view. How can I get rid of these moved tracks now without manually deleting the batches. Annoying that exclamation mark field is not sortable or would be easy to mass delete.
    Anyone got a neat solution out there?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, but now you have lost all your regular playlists, ratings, play counts, last played dates, non-embedded artwork etc.
    Hope you don't miss them. If you do it might be possible to restore an earlier version of your library file and then bring it up-to-date with the free scripts at Doug's site.
    An all iTunes, no loss of data approach would have been as follows:
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Command-A to select them and Option-Delete to remove them. You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.
    I normally recommend the scripts as being an easier way to do things that you may want to do again.

  • Syncing ipod to itunes with exclamation marks

    Hi,
    I was wondering if I sync my ipod with exclamation marks on some of my songs in itunes, will those songs disappear from my ipod if I sync it? There are quite a few songs in my playlist that have exclamation marks next to them saying that they can't be found, however they are already on my ipod. I have been afraid to hook up my ipod to add new songs I've added for fear the ones I already have on it that now can't be found will dissappear. I did move some of the songs to an external hard drive to make some room on my computer hard drive, but some I can't find. Can you help me?

    You should understand how iTunes managed your music.
    If you move, edit, delete or otherwise change a music file listed in the iTunes Library with a program or tool other than iTunes, you may end up with a "!" in front of the song name or a message like “the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" It is important to note that iTunes does not keep track of music file changes made outside of iTunes.

    EASIER:
    Download this to your Desktop: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/FindDeadTracks.txt (right-click, save-link-as)
    and this, as well: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt (right-click, save-link-as)
    Rename each to FindDeadTracks.js & RemoveDeadTracks.js respectively.
    Run iTunes.
    1) While iTunes is running, double click FindDeadTracks.js to run the script.
    It will give you a list of all the exclamation marked tracks.
    2) While iTunes is running, double click RemoveDeadTracks.js to run the script.
    It will remove all the exclamation marked tracks.

  • 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.

    On your friend's computer with an internet connection, log into the Mac App Store with your ID and download Yosemite from the Purchases section of the Mac App Store. The make a bootable USB install media using

    Then boot from that on your computer and install
    You need an internet connection to install via Recovery mode

  • ITunes Match sometimes skips / plays songs with exclamation marks

    Using iTunes Match (v10.5.3) from my MacBook (OS X 10.6.8) I synched about 60G of music located on an external hard drive connected to my home-based AirPort Extreme base station into Apple's cloud. It works great from my iPhone and the iMac in my remote office, but occasionally when I connect with my MacBook I get these confounding exclamation marks between the song list number and the selection check box.
    When this happens and I attempt to play a song with an exclamation mark sometimes iTunes prompts me to connect to the hard drive connected to the Airport and when I don't the exlamation points appear. Other times I can play the songs, but only if I individually select them; otherwise it skips all the songs with exclamation marks until it finds a local song (or recording) (i.e. without an exclamation mark).
    Sometimes restarting iTunes gets rid of the exclamation marks, sometimes it doesn't. I've noticed that I often have this problem when I upload new music to the Airport-connected hard drive. But sometimes it happens without me uploading.
    Through trial and error I'm starting to get a sense of what's happening but it still feels kind of arbitrary. Can someone explain what's happening?
    Many thanks in advance.

    The problem is that iTunes thinks the external HDD is not connected so it can't find the actual song files. So the problem you need to solve is why is the external HDD not connected.

  • IPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point after discon

    Since I always ignore instruction booklets with new devices, I failed to notice the warnings with regard to configuring my iPod mini on a Windows PC. I did not install the included software first and I tried to sync with iTunes (my girlfriend already has an iPod mini so iTunes was already installed). As a result I ended up with folder exclamation point icon.
    I tried the folowing already:
    1) Reformatting the disk through windows explorer
    2) Reset:
    The folder icon with exclamtion point appears after reset
    3) Running Updater 2004-04-28:
    After plugging in the iPod at the prompt, the message "iPod updater can;t install firmware on connected iPod. The iPods hardware and the updater firmware are not compatible." I got the same message when doing the same thing in 'disk mode'.
    4) Running the software on the disc that came with it:
    When prompted I connected the iPod to the PC. I get a message "Your iPod has been connected. Please wait while the system recognises the device". And then nothing happens.
    Please can anyone advise me how to fix this problem?

    Ok guys!! I did it!! I fixed my iPod! I want to thanks Apple for the great help they gave me (I'm being sarcastic)!
    I remember that I downloaded iTunes 4.9 and the iPod updater from 2 two weeks ago on my neighbor's computer.
    As this problem (IPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when I turn it on) only happened since I upgraded iTunes to 5.0 version and iPod updater, and after one and a half day calling Apple, reading the entire web site looking for an answer, discussing with a lot of people about this problem and nothing happened, I wanted to give the last try and went to may neighbor's computer!!
    I turned on the iPod updater.
    When it said i had to connect my iPod I did it
    Then I pressed RESTORE
    After that I plug it in the A/C adapter
    It worked
    I connected the iPod to the computer again
    iTunes worked and my iPod is working as a new one!!

  • IPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point

    IPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when I turn it on, and says: "www.apple.com/support/ipod"
    I can't restore the I Pod or reset it as they first told on the support web site, because it only appears that message...
    I installed the latest version of the iPod updater and it didn't work also.
    When I go to the iPod updater it gives me the "iPod service error" message.
    What must I do!
    I'm on a Windows XP.
    Help me please!!

  • White screen with flashing file icon with question mark mean

    What does this mean.   We are getting a white screen with flashing file icon with question mark inside the file. 

    It almost certainly means it can't find a bootable volume (one with OS X on it).
    Which means most likely you will have to find your original system installation DVD and install it. Then you should figure out what caused the problem.
    Read this to diagnose it before resorting to reinstalling the OS:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
    Excerpt:
    Additional steps
    If your Mac still starts to a flashing question mark, follow the steps below. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one.
    Select your Mac OS X startup disk with Startup Manager by restarting and holding the Option key. After your Mac starts up, restart again to verify that the flashing question mark does not appear.
    If the issue persists, insert your Mac OS X installation disc. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc.
    MacBook Air note: On a MacBook Air, there are two options for starting up from Mac OS X media: Either connect a MacBook Air SuperDrive to the MacBook Air via the USB port and restart the computer, holding down the C key during startup, or use Remote Install Mac OS X to startup from a system software DVD that's located on a partner computer. Once started up from Mac OS X media, skip to step 3.
    Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
    From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Don't click Continue.
    Select your Mac OS X disk (named "Macintosh HD" by default) in the left side of the Disk Utility window.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click Repair Disk to verify and repair any issues with your Mac OS X startup disk.
    After repairing the disk, try to start up normally.
    Important: If Disk Utility finds issues it cannot repair, you may need to back up as much of your data as possible (or use Time Machine to back up to a different disk), then erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS X. You should back up important files and data before erasing a drive. Erasing deletes everything on the hard disk (including things on your desktop). Also, you can install Mac OS X onto an external disk, start from the external disk, and use Migration Assistant to transfer items from your usual internal Mac OS X startup disk to the external disk, then erase the internal disk and reinstall Mac OS X.
    If the issue persists, and Disk Utility didn't find any irreparable issues, quit Disk Utility, quit the Installer, select your disk when prompted, and restart.
    If the issue continues, reset PRAM. Note: After resetting PRAM, if the computer starts up normally, reselect the startup disk in the Startup Disk preferences.
    If none of these steps resolve the issue, start up from the Mac OS X Installation disc and reinstall Mac OS X.

  • Flashing folder icons with question mark

    After reading through the forums I've found a few discussions and users that have similar problems as me but haven't seen anything that deals directly with my issues.
    After upgrading to Leopard last night, it ran sluggishly for about 15 minutes. I got impatient and decided to restart. While trying to restart it froze, so I just shut my powerbook down. When I tried to boot back up I got the "flashing folder icons with question mark", I've since found out that it isn't finding any type of drive to boot off of. I reset the pram, tried to reboot with the same result. Tried to boot up using cmd-s but still got nothing but flashing folders. Booted up from the Leopard install disc to try and do an archive and install and it said it couldn't upgrade because it couldn't find tiger on my machine. So I booted from the Tiger install discs to try and re-install tiger again. Tiger cant find my HD to install on; I'm thinking this may be due to Leopards install. I ran disk utility and it couldn't complete the verifying process. I got this "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
    After work I'm going to try to boot up in target mode to pull any data i can and try erase my HD and install from there.
    To me it seems like a HD issue. Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks in advanced.

    The "sluggishness" is perfectly normal. It's well-known and it is not an issue.
    You should have waited for spotlight to finish indexing.
    You may have broken some links by forcing a shutdown while things were still being setup.
    Which install method did you use, upgrade, archive or erase?
