BIG QUESTION-MARK ERROR on quicktime

Re: My Quicktime does not play any more. It gives a BIG QUESTION MARK at the middle of the screen with no error message at all...I have a new computer with Windows XP. Since I downloaded the new version of Quicktime 7, the free download one, this problem started. It was fine previously.
Any suggetion for remedy
Thank you
Windows XP

I found the response as below but where do you find "QuickTime Control Panel" as per the below response and "Browser" option. I looked around.its not in the QT menu... If this process does not work where do you find "free Flash Player ". Please assist.
Thanks
It's not a QuickTime problem or issue.
You need to install Flash Player to view Flash Video formats. Once you've installed the free Flash Player restart your browser and try the pages again.
If they still show a Q with a ? mark in it you'll need to open the QuickTime Control Panel and click the "Browser" tab. Click the MIME Settings button at the bottom of that window.
Remove the check mark under "Miscellaneous" that says Flash Media.
Quit and restart your browser.

Big question mark where iPhoto is

Hey I just bought a new iMac and I M new to iMac but when I first got the computer
Set up everything was fine but after I installed the applications disk and snow leopard there's a big question mark at the bottom where iPhoto should be and I can't open iPhoto. Any ideas on what to do?

Then you need to re-install the apps:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
For help re-installing iWeb, check on that forum.

Big Question Mark

We turned on our iMac this morning and there is just a big question mark on a folder. We are not able to do anything on the computer - it appears to be frozen.
What should we do?

Hi
Insert the installer Disk that came with the mac (the gray one), reboot and hold down the C key. At the language screen click the right arrow. At the next screen select Disk utility from the Utilities Menu. Can you see the internal hard drive any more?
If you can't the drive has failed and you need to replace it. If you don't have a backup you've lost all your data unless you want to pay for a Data Recovery Specialist and see if they can get the data off for you.
If you can see the hard drive select the Repair Disk option. Hopefully this might get things working again.
This is a question that has been asked many many times before. You could browse the forum for further options as to what to do thereafter. One useful resource is Apple's own User Tips Forum which is here:

Big X with question mark error

I have been working on a presentation for weeks and today after trying to print my slides, I found an error on a slide, edited it and all of a sudden the background went away and became white. The text and photo were still on the screen, but everything was gray and there was a big X going from the corners of the slide and where it intersects in the middle was a question mark. Talked to tech support and they didn't know what it was. Everytime I wanted to edit a slide, it did that. I ended up restoring to a backup that Time Machine had made, but what happened????

I have been having the same problem aswell... Even though none of my original files have moved or been renamed. Can't answer your question, but hopefully we'll find the answer.

Strange question mark error while opening pdf files in adobereader from SAP

Hi Gurus
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
This issue occurs few times a day
This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
Environment
SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
Windows Vista Enterprise
Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
Please suggest
Thank you
Pavan

Thank you for the quick reply.
We tried many notes from Service Market Place. Also, Windows Team is in contact with Adobe.
As per Adobe's suggestions, we tried changing preferences of Adobe Reader. We think it might be a problem with SAP Frontend.
Present status - Issue still exists. nothing works.
Thank you

Question Mark in Safari, Quicktime , Movies don't play, Mime settings

I get a question mark in QT, using Safari, and latest updates, while trying to play movies. I notice the QT preferences will not stay when I close preferences, especially mime settings. I tried re-install, tried latest updates, throwing away preferences files in User/Library/preferences. What's wrong. You would think that QT would work, but QT only works in Opera.

To Apple Discussions!
If you have no problems w/playing QT files while using Opera, then the problem could be w/Safari. You may wish to crosspost in the Safari Forums where the Safari users hang out so that they can see your issue & can possibly help you out. Sorry, I don't use that particular browser.
See if cleaning out the cache helps. That is the one thing I always here Safari users complain about.
Check QT Preferences>Advance.
Make sure "Enable Flash" is unchecked (disabled)
As for the QT MIME Settings not sticking, see if repairing permissions from your Tiger DVD helps.

BIG Question Mark in Finder Windows

My Hard drive Finder Windows (any programme) OS 10.4.6.
are suddenly showing a large Question Mark between the 'view buttons' and the 'action wheel icon'.
When 'clicked' the question mark gives a message "The Item Cannot be Found".
All items in each individual folder within the window open normally.
Why is this suddenly happening, and can I get rid of the Question Mark somehow.?
Many thanks.

iMAC FP. Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Before there was a "sidebar", OS X Finder had a "toolbar" where a user could drag arbitrary items (files, folders, applications) for quick one-click access. Although it may not be obvious with the brushed metal finish, "Finder" windows still retain this function.
However, if the original item to which the toolbar shortcut points is deleted or otherwise becomes inaccessible, its icon will be replaced with a question mark (the same thing happens with "Dock" icons).
The shortcuts can be removed from the window by holding down the "⌘" key and dragging the icons off the toolbar.

Putting old HD back in.... folder with question mark error

I wasn't successful installing the larger Hardrive because the computer just spit out the cds when i tried to boot them. Perhaps something wrong with the optical drive.
So i decided to put the original HD back inside but every-time the computer starts i get a Folder with a question mark on it???
Does anyone know why i'm getting this? thanks

Hello,
The blinking ? means one of the following:
You didn't install the HDD correctly.
The hard drive is corrupt.
The OS has become corrupt.
I'd do the following:
Re-install the drive. Pay particular attention to ensuring the Master/Slave pins are set correctly.
If that fails to solve it, then run an Archive and Install from the OS X Install disk.

Updated to Flash Player 9 and now all QT content results in question mark

I recently updated to Flash Player 9 and now all quicktime content on the web, using Safari and Firefox results in a big question mark over the quicktime logo. I can't seem to downgrade the Flash Player, have reinstalled QT but not change. Any ideas?

Sorry, not sure how I got on iPhone discussion board. Thought I was on Safari. I'll repost to appropriate area.

BIG QUESTION Q MARK from Quick Time

Hi, I need some help. I get the question mark in the QT logo. I tried everything posted before.
I tried the System Folder.
I tried the QT preference.
I 'unmarked' the flash thingy.
I installed the Flash 9.
I used the Disk Utilities.
I got the Preference Treatment.
And still get the big question Mark in the QT logo.
What other solution do you have?
Thank you.
Memo Uribe

Peacekeeper227, To Apple Discussions.
Which browser & version are you using?
Quit QuickTime.
Open User (Home)/Library/Preferences and delete any .plist file with QuickTime in its name. Don't worry as a new one will be created.
Open System Preferences/QuickTime and see if the window and tabs work as they should.
The following post should be helpful also: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=779076&tstart=0
===================
If you are using Safari then I suggest that you check out Safari 2.0 Help Webpages aren't working (indicated by boxes with question marks)
Good luck!
P.S. Thank you for listing your troubleshooting solutions. It was very helpful.

Dashboard shows question mark for quicktime

when i try viewing trailers in the movie widget, dashboard now displays a ? (question mark) over the quicktime icon. latest quicktime,
snow leopard 10.6.8....any suggestions? thanks a bunch

That does sound odd. But if it just started happening today, or within the past few days, some sort of file corruption could be the cause. If you want to test that, try this:
1. Quit everything, except the Finder.
2. Go to ~/Library/Preferences and remove (don't delete) the com.apple.Dashboard.plist file to the Desktop.
3. Log out and log back in to your account and see if the problem continues. If not, and everything else is behaving normally, then the preferences file was corrupted, so you can delete the one on your Desktop.
Post back with results.

Question mark over Quicktime logo in Safari - MacBook

Hi,
I have a black macbook on which FCP studio is installed and therefore QT Pro.
While browsing in Safari, (Latest 10.4.7 and Safari updates) and trying to access a link which plays streaming Qt's or just plain ones, I receive a Question mark over the Quicktime logo in place of the movie.
When right clicking the link and saving target, it downloads the movie and opens it in quicktime ok.
What the **** is going on.
On my G5 no problems to access these exact same links...
Pretty annoying I would say
ThanX
Jean michel

Yeah, this is very common right now. Problem is not with Quicktime, but with the Shockwave plug-in in Safari. it is not yet native to intel-based Macs so it will not activate properly as is.
Unfortunately, there is nothing yet to update to, so you can either live with it as is or run Safari in Rosetta mode which will slow it down slightly, but give you all the web content properly.
Try this:
Quit Safari
Go to the Safari icon in Applications
Ctrl-click the icon
Go to "Get Info"
Click the box next to "Open using Rosetta"
Open Safari
This will solve the problem until an Intel-compliant Shockwave plug-in comes out.
