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.

Small blue question mark appears instead of the photo or images that normally appear

Following the last update, photos and images that normally appeared now require downloading but are still missing from printouts. Would like to return to automatic images appearing.

Blue question mark email attachment

hi, could someone help me out...
I just set up a yahoo email account on my iPhone so I can send pictures etc. The set up was fine, however I just sent one of my iPhone's pictures through the mail and received the email with attachment, but upon opening, the picture is not displayed and a blue question mark appears in its place. Surely the iPhone is able to show the picture format it sends?!
So where am I going wrong? Any help appreciated!

Yeah, I am having the same problem on my wife's ipod touch. It is connected to her yahoo email and some emails with jpeg attachements come through fine but other do not. She can always view them properly through the web browser on the imac but the ipod touch email just shows the blue question mark for some jpegs. The really weird thing is that jpeg images I send her from my iphone are in the category of the ones that don't show up. I've been searching a bit and haven't found an answer yet... hopefully someone here will have one for us

That little blue question mark

I place a hyperlink to 'sending an email' and publish. On the published site a small blue question mark appears however the link is active. Why doesn't the email address show up as on the page in iWeb?
Any ideas?

The little blue question mark on your published pages as viewed in a browser usually indicates that an image was not loaded. You may have to reload the page in order to force the image to download. It might also help to empty your browser cache (Safari>Empty cache) and/or add a "?" to the end of your URL to force the browser/server to fetch a fresh copy of things.
If any of this proves to be useful to you, please do me a favor and mark my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. Thanks.

I keep getting an intermittent error on web pages where a blue box with a question mark appears instead of pictures. For example Facebook and Zappos would load normally on one visit, but if I visit other websites and return I get the blue box.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Appearance tab. Tick the box next to: Display images when the page opens.
If that box is already ticked, from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems loading images, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
If you still have problems, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

Getting blue question mark for images in Safari

Hi guys
I have MBP 15", early 2011, 250 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 10.10 Yosemite OSx and I am facing problem recently is that some images in Safari 8 browser won't open and instead blue question mark will arise . I have friend of mine using ipad2 and I asked her about this issue but the images opened with her smoothly. any suggestion.Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Safari not showing secure site images (blue question marks)

I have Safari 4 installed on my Windows laptop. I am having a problem viewing secure sites. All that appears is the text and then blue question marks where the images/tables should be. This is not a problem when using Firefox, Chrome, or IE.
This is also not a problem on my other windows computers nor on my Mac.
I've tried resetting Safari, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safari, nothing is working.
Any idea how to fix this?

I too am having this problem. I cannot access my gmail, ebay, facebook, or other login sites. If I attempt to access any site that requests user and password information, a safari dialogue stating "safari can't verify the identity of the website "...."". So far I've assumed that all of my certificates are comprimised. I don't know how to delete my certificates to get new ones as this information is not posted anywhere.

Links work but Blue Question Mark on rollover?

I'm totally new to dreamweaver CS4. I transferred my iweb website into it.
On only 1 page (others don't have problem) all the text links look totally fine until I put my cursor on it and then it changes to the blue question mark.
The links work fine and as far as I can tell all the files (png/jpg) images and rollovers appear to be in the correct folders.
I tried moving the templates outside the main directory and it worked at first but then not.
All the mouseover code looks like this:
onmouseover="IMmouseover('shapeimage_2', '0');"
...and one of the web pages has the same code and does not have this question mark problem!
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi, it happens in live view and browser
one of links code is:
"Studio311_Services.html"

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 .

My macbook fell and since then a white screen with question mark appears

hey guys!
i really need to know what to do, my macbook fell while it was on. it froze so i restarted it, but the white screen comes in with the apple begining sound and everything but the screen stays blank for about two minutes and then a folde with a question mark appears. i tried putting in the cd that came with it, samething happened but after a while the appe sign appears and the computer started off my installation disc, so i try re installing everything, but when i get to the screen that asks to select a destination, there is nothing available.
i realize that the best thing to do is to go to an apple store and then sort everything out, but i am in haiti where the nearest apple store is in miami, i really need your help and i'm desparate cuz i cannot do anything without my laptop... please send me your help as soon as possible.
thanks in advance

Your hard disk has been damaged. At this point, it will need to be replaced with a new one. You'll need to call AppleCare and they'll have you mail it in for repairs. I'm not sure what the usual turnaround time for that is internationally, but in the United States it's about a week. I'd tack on a few extra days to get the laptop to and from Haiti.
Either way, your computer will need to be repaired and the data that was on your hard disk will be lost. (Unless you take the machine to a 3rd party repair shop that specializes in recovering data from damaged hard disks.)

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.

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.

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.

HT1379 A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. At first, I pressed Power & Option button and it recovered from Internet. Then, four options appeared but none of them are helpful. Could u please help me to solve it asap?

Hello,
A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. Then, I pressed POWER & OPTOIN buttons and internet options appeared for internet recovery. After internet recovery, the OS X utilities appears with four options (Restore from Time machine, Reinstall OS X, Get help online and Disk utility). But none of them seemed helpful. On the last option Disk utility, the icon created only with 33KB and other disk 1 Mac Os X Base system. On First Aid, the icon Repair disk is disabled. So I could not click on repair disk. Could you please suggest me how to solve this problem asap? Thank you so much for your help in advance!

You can try the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Blue Question marks appear...
