Blue question mark in a box

pictures in my email on my Ipod Touch just started showing up as a blue question mark in a box but were working fine yesterday

Hi Rex,
Who is your ISP and what addresses do you have set in the DNS section of your System Preferences -> Network preferences?
Have you tried logging into a different user account on your machine to see if that has the same problem? This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)
Also, do you use any third party internet software (Norton, Intego, etc.)?

  • Upgraded to ios6 on my iphone 3gs and email is not displaying images. It has a blue box with a blue question mark inside

    I just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 3gs and I noticed on a couple of incoming emails that the images and information are not being displayed. There is a blue square box with a blue question mark inside. I already tried to press the home key and power key to restart. The email still does not display correctly. I went on my laptop to retrieve that same email and I was able to see the graphics and information, so the problem is on the iphone. I received two emails like this, so I'm missing all the important information. I also tried to retrieve my email through the internet browser and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I forgot to mention that I have an Ipad 2 also and I can view the email information on there also. I received an email from Party city and it said to click here to print out the coupon. So I click the coupon and there is the little blue box with the question mark. This is the first time I've seen this happen, as I have printed out the coupons before. Maybe it has to do with the IOS6 update, because this just started to happen right after the update.

  • On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

    On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

    I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

  • Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

    Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks.  If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?!  I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped.  Have any clue what I should do now?

  • Blue Question Mark Box Issue

    I have a 2011 iMac with version 10.6.8. I haven't made the switch yet to Mountain Lion.  I just upgraded internet service from AT&T DSL 3.0 to AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet 6.0.  After the "upgrade" I now get the blue question mark box on websites where images should be.   Also, I'm unable to stream videos on sites like Hulu.  I have troubleshooted the issue by ensuring the "Display images when the page opens" box is checked and reseting Safari.  I do not have any 3rd party extensions.
    Now here's where I get really confused...I also have a Dell laptop (work computer) connected to the same network.  It doesn't have this problem at all.  Works fine.  
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello, I'd reseach all the problem & missing features in 10.8 before considering it.
    For the Safari problem, this has worked for a few...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Also, turn off IPv6:
    System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
    Or whatever Interface you use.

  • I have a question regarding a small blue question mark instead of photo, I asked about this and was directed to a question about text edit, which, by the way, a neighbour helped with.

    Email photographs not seen, photograph are replaced with a small blue question mark.....what do I need to do to see the pictures ?

    Hello tomfromridgetown,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    I understand that sometimes when you receive an email it contains a small box with a question mark for the attachment. It sounds like what you may be seeing is a windmill.dat attachment. Please review the attached article for information on what these attachments are and how to avoid them in the future.

  • Blue Question marks appear...

    Blue Question marks appear when websites like Facebook have pictures.  This began after Uverse was installed in my home.  It did not do this previously with ATT High Speed Internet.  Uverse claims this is a computer issue.  SOMEONE HELP!
    Yes my computer is updated.

    Hi..
    If you are using Safari, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Appearance tab.
    Make sure the box next to: Display images when the page opens   is selected.
    If that box was already selected, back to the menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, try Safari > Preferences > Privacy
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • 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!
    Message was edited by: ChrisNH

    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.

  • MMS showing up as blue question marks?

    Hi, I recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. Now old photo messages that have been sent to me appear as white boxes with blue question marks. How do I/ can I get them back?
    I was always able to view them previously. The ones that I am unable to view are about 12 months old

    Publish to a local folder and launch this version in the browser by double clicking the index.html file.
    If this is OK it means that you haven't uploaded all the files to the server.
    If its not OK, try deleting the iWeb preference file before the restart. See "Fix iWeb" here....

  • (SSL?) Certificates, Safari, and blue question marks

    Recently I ran into some trouble with Mail and messed around with my certificates and Keychain a fair bit. Nonetheless, everything seems to be fine, except Safari. A problem I would run into intermittently before now dominates my online experience.
    I encounter images being replaced with blue question marks very frequently. Additionally, on webpages with logins and forms (e.g. eBay, Paypal), the formatting of the page is nearly nonexistent. Fonts, pictures, all missing--everything is just mashed together. I can still login, though. Before loading any webpage on which this happens, Safari notifies me that the page might not be secure. I click continue, and voila, blue question marks.
    If I then Ctrl-click on one of the question marks and choose "Open image in new tab", I get a certificate error, usually with what appears to be an image server. The message usually goes something along the lines of, "Safari can't identify the identity of the website "images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com". The certificate for this website is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be "images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com" which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the website anyway?"
    If I then click "Show Certificate", I see that "This certificate has an invalid issuer" If I check the box "Always trust these certificates" and reload the page, the image shows up. If I then go back to the original page and reload it, all images appear. This also solves my problem with forms and page formatting.
    However, this is obviously a pain. And a bit disconcerting, to boot. I've tried clearing the cache, resetting Safari, reinstalling Keychain and Safari via Pacifist, to no avail.
    Any thoughts on navigating this issue? It seems to occur primarily (if not entirely) with SSL certificates. . .
    Hopeful,
    a.

    Hi, aresnick, is that as in old lace? on the very long state named road?
    I looked in Safari help for "SSL certificates" in 10.3.9 and in 10.4.7 this term "Certificate". Irregardless both give the same message:
    Accessing websites that require a personal certificate
    If you need to access a website that requires a personal certificate, you will be provided with a certificate and instructions for installing it in your keychain.
    Once your certificate is installed in your keychain, you should be able to gain authenticated access to the website automatically.
    If you are unable to access the website, contact the website administrator.
    continue Safari Help: Deleting data saved from web forms
    If you select the option to automatically complete web forms using information from other webpages, Safari saves information you enter. You can delete this information, if you choose.
    Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click AutoFill. Click Edit next to the "Other forms" checkbox. Select the item you want to delete and click Remove. If you want to delete all the items, click Remove All.
    If you don't want to use data from other web forms, deselect the "Other forms" checkbox in the AutoFill pane of Safari preferences.
    The Blue question mark and images do not appear appear, safari help:
    Images don't appear
    If webpage images don't appear, the option to display images may be turned off or there may be a problem with your network.
    Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Appearance. Click to select "Display images when the page opens."
    If the option is already selected, trying reloading the page. Choose Reload Page from the View menu.
    Therefore if i were you I would follow the instructions listed from Safari Help. I would also Reset Safari, which clears the history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes all cookies. It also removes any saved user names and passwords or other AutoFill data and clears Google search entries. (see reset Safari in Help for more info)
    Then run perm. repair & a restart of the computer.
    You might want to look into updating to 10.4.7 following same steps as underlined in a. brodies in link posted to you earlier, in this thread.
    Good Luck.
    Hth. Please post back to let us know, how you did .

  • Blue question mark instead of my picture message. Can anyone help?

    I've recently restored my iPhone 4S and going back through my old messages none of the pictures can be opened. It's replaced with a blue question mark.  Can anyone help?

    No app installed that will view the pics and bar codes.  
    Which email client are you using?  Which version? 
    File suffix of the pics & bar codes?  Example:  .pic, .bmp, .jpg, etc.

    You may have  moved or removed content on your page or  its possible you  used the"Adjust Image" and over sharpeed one or more images.
    I assume  you mean it does not show up of new Chapter pages... have you checked the  template?
    Where you see the  ?    you  need to either reduce teh  box outline size - or drop anther  copy of the original image onto  it, it may  fill the  ? box or sit on top.... delete the ? box.
    If its Chapter page only related, its  better doing this in the template.
    Is you image .jpg or .png?
