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.
Regards

Question Mark where Safari icon should be

I have a new macbook and love it so far, the only problem I've come across is a big one though, I have 3 accounts on my computer, all except for one of them (my account) the safari icon is now a big question mark (indicating that the file is corrupt I assume?) First I tried deleting one of the accounts and making a new one in it's place... same problem. Then I trashed the safari/question mark icon and tried to create a new one but could not find it in the finder (I searched safari, and safari.app).. Since safari is still working fine on my account (just not the others) I know it must be in there some where, but where?
Thank you so much, I hope someone can help me resolve this problem!!

I cannot find it in the applications folder on those accounts, just on the main account
Safari is supposed to be in Macintosh HD --> Applications
If Safari is not in that folder, move it there.
It should not be in Users --> yourusername -->Applications

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.

Blue Question mark where pics are suppose to be

Why do I get a blue question mark where all the pictures are suppose to be? I want to look at the different apps in the app store but I can't see them...

Was this always that way. And is this on 10.7.5 or other?

Why does my App store just have question marks where pictures should be?

Why do I get question marks on iphoto instead of the photos?

Why do I get question marks on iphoto instead of the photos?

Possibly because you have set iPhoto to refer to photos stored elsewhere rather than copying them into its own library; and you've moved the photos.
If you have it set this way, Preferences>Advanced - 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library' will be unchecked.

Battery Big Question Mark Symbol

My pre plus has suddenly developed a battery big question mark symbol. Any advice?
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (02)

Battery symbol with a question mark indicates no battery present in the device. You can try cleaning the battery contacts with a pencil eraser, or replacing the battery.

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:

Question mark on iPhoto icon

Where the iPhoto icon is, there is now a question mark. Clicking on the icon does nothing...
Here is a screencapture of the icon:

search for it using spotlight. if it is really gone from your startup disk, you can reinstall it from the install DVD that came with your Mac by using Pacifist.

Dashboard Widgets: All I get is blue question mark where QT should be

Hello,
I have tried installing some interesting Widgets but many of them fail to operate. If there is a QT element to the Widget, all I get is a big blue question mark and the letter 'Q'...as though I'm being told that Quicktime is needed but the widget can't find it. I know for a fact that Quicktime is on my iMac (how could it NOT be?), so what problem am I suffering from and how do I remedy it?
Thank you!

Well, it works even on Dialup here, no QT box.
I'm not clear on what you mean by 'Repair Permissions.' What's that?
Easiest way...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when complete.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

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.

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.

Can't play embedded videos. Shows large question mark where the video is.

Need some help. I'm not able to play any embedded videos and all I get is the big Q with a question mark over it. I've tried reinstalling and checked the permissions in the registry. The problem that I found is that in the QuickTime preferences, on the File Type menu, there is absolutely nothing in there, just a blank white space. Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.

Had the same problem; quicktime plugin would only work for administrative users not normal "limited" user. I temporarily promoted the user to administrator and the plugin worked fine. When I restored the user back to limited it still worked. I only had this problem on one computer so I don't really know the root cause. For reference, the computer was running Windows XP Pro, SP3, on a Windows Active Directory domain, using free Quicktime version 7.6.2.

Question mark where moon must be - Weather widget

When i go to the dashboard, the weather widget displays a blue square with a white questionmark in it a little top left of where the moon is supposed to be

Dear Grant Bennet,
I've tried that, I just bought my macbook pro last week and disk repair (even from boot) gives me only 1 issue with permissions that cant be fixed. It starts with System... and ends with Agent (something like System/.../Agent).
Ive repaired and it could not be fixed. The widget is still not working though. Yesterday morning everything worked just fine and I only used Pages in between.
Is there any way to completely remove the widget and redownload? Maybe an icon is missing or something like that?
I attacheted a screenshot so you can check.
Thanks in advance
Anyone else having this problem? (check attachment picture please)
Greetings,

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.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Glad to learn the suggestion helped you.
Now if I can only find someone who knows what an error code 412 is on System 9. Been trying to find some clue - can't move files to external hard drive on my old G4 before I reformat internal drive and load system 10.
There are many forums in Apple Discussions covering everything involving a Mac computer and related software. Why not start a new topic in the OS 9 forums. Perhaps Don Archibald will help you. He's one of the best at understanding OS 9.
