Blue question mark instead of photo

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 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?

  • Question mark instead of photo

    When I am browsing an internet forum on safari using my iPod touch, I often see a blue box with a white question mark in it instead of the photo that has been uploaded. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Any help is much appreciated.
    I'm using the latest iOS (4.3.3)

    I'd just like to add that I've cleared the cache (which is something I've seen some people suggest) and it doesn't fix the problem.

  • Why do i get a box with blue question mark and no photo.

    I think I deleted some flash plugins. I uninstalled Adobe flash then reinstalled.
    Same problem on facebook. Boxes with question marks. What plugin do I need to download and where do I find it?

    Apple tech walked me through a clean install for Adobe Flash Player. I think I know where I botched the system up.
    I deleted plug-ins on the: Safari - preferences-security - internet plug-ins - manage Website settings.  All are checked 'allow'.
    None are configured except google mail.

    Pictures on safari are popping up as blue question marks, instead of the picture. Help! I have a Macbook Air 2012.

    Ok, try this:
    Go up into the menu bar where it says Safari in bold type.
    Then, click the Safari button.
    Then, click Reset Safari...
    I hope I helped,

  • Blue question marks???? help

    All of a sudden, Safari is now displaying blue question marks instead of pictures on some websites like Facebook.  How do I fix this?

    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. If it finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode (shift key down at startup) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.

  • 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.

  • Getting blue boxes with question marks instead of pictures in ipad 2

    I am getting blue boxes with question marks instead of pictures on my ipad 2. I do not have Wi-Fi.

    I am getting these question marks on many web sites. I thought it probably had to do with no Wi-Fi but I didn't have this problem until the last month or so and I've had the ipad since December.

  • Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image?  It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

    Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image?  It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

    The question mark in the box, if it looks like this:   means that safari cannot find the linked image.  On windows machines, this would be the equivilant of  the small "page-with-a-red-X" logo that appears in the same scenario.  Check the reference to the image and make sure that the image is in the correct location, and is accessable by the reference.

  • 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?
