Not able to get rid of a Question mark in the Dock

A friend got stuck with a Question Mark in the Dock of his 4 year old iMac that was linked to an app not compatible anymore with his latest 10.8.2 version ( guess it was a Power PC app, before Mountain Lion, he was still on Leopard ). He apparently deleted the app and some dependencies manually ( instead of using App Cleaner & Co. ) and now whenever he is hovering over that Question Mark, even before being even able to pull it out from the Dock, the screen flashes up white and the Finder resets.
Is there a way to access the Dock through an element of his user library to get rid of that Mark, or even through a Terminal command ( not that I like to delve in there, but Terminal commands have helped me personally quite often ) ?
Does the Dock have a dedicated place in the Library's User Folder ? Couldn't find anything on my own Mac.
Thanks for any clue ....

Right clicking on it is not even an option, just hovering over it seems to induce a "nuclear" reset of the whole desktop and graphic card on the iMac.
Have meanwhile found a possible solution by erasing the dock preference file in the user/library/preferences folder to reset the dock to it's default state. Will try this out through a Skype conversation with that Buddy.

How do I get rid of the question marks in my emails

I run a business on my computer & I have serveral people tell me that when they get my emails, it has a lot of question marks all thoughout the message.
sometimes other symbols as well. It makes me look as if I am really confused when I am sending my emails to my team.
Can anyone tell me how to fix it?
Also some say my attachments do not come with my emails???

It sounds like maybe you are using a text encoding that your team's email clients cant understand.
If you go to the Message menu, and select "Text Encoding" down at the bottom of the menu, you should get a long list of encodings.
Set it to "Automatic", if its not already, and see if that helps.
If it does not, try some of the encodings that start with "Western". "Western (Windows Latin 1)" may be a good choice if most of the people on your team use Outlook on Windows. Try "Unicode" down at the bottom if nothing else works. If none of these help, set it back to "Automatic".
Im assuming (because of your Texas location) that your team members are here in the states. If not, if they are, say in Japan, China, Korea, Russia, etc., then one of the other encodings on the menu may help.

How to get rid of the question mark on the HP photosmart 7525screen?

I was printing from the HP Paviliondm4 computer to the Photosmart 7525 printer and that page on the computer screen just kept reprinting together with another printing job that I had. It was hard to get rid of it, but eventually it disappeared, the doubling of printing. The problem now is that "question mark" on the printer screen appears, that the "home symbol" on the printer screen has disappeared and can't get it back, as it was the normal screen when I first used the printer. What's the problem that I can't get that "question mark" off?

Hello @Lester7525,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you only have the question mark on your Photosmart 7525 and cannot get back the home screen back. I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference.
Try performing a hard reset on your printer for more than 60 seconds. Leave the printer turned on> Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
Also, you can try updating the firmware to see if this helps. I will provide the HP Website where you can download this here. (It may not work since this printer is in a different menu.) Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
I worked on behalf of HP.

How do I get rid of this question mark shown in Launchpad?

This is here after I installed OS X Mountain Lion, among others. What is it, and how do I get rid of it?

That is because all Apps that are in the Applications folder get an Icon in the Launchpad area but as with Lion, and now Mt Lion, once you install the OS from that download, that is placed in the Applications folder, the Installer DELETES those files but it does not remove the Icon from the Launchpad.
Just DRAG it to the Trash can. You may have to hold down the Option or Command key (I forget which or if you even need to) while dragging it to the trash can.

TS3423 my start drive not responding. getting grey screen with question mark in a folder. when i use disk utility drive wont mount

When I turn on my Mac I get a grey screen with a folder with a question mark . Have tried the disk utility to no avail as the disk has apparently dismounted and will not mount even though the mount option is available. I have recently upgraded from snow leopard go os x maverick

This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem. In your case it sounds like the latter but you should try the steps below in case it might help.

Question mark on download folder

A question mark has appeared on my download folder. The folder will not open. What does this mean? How do I work around this?

Do you mean the folder itself or the icon in the dock?

I want to get rid of the tabs for sites above the tool bar. Used to have an x to delete and now I can't. I feel I am overloading my machine with this excess baggage.

This did not happen with Firefox 3. all the sites I go to seem to be stored above--then an icon comes on that says my virtual memory is low and I wonder if all this info that I no longer need may contribute to this. I liked Firefox 3 better. There was an "X" to be able to delete the sites I had already been on, but does not appear now. It's 3 lines from the top--same line as Y att.net Mail.
Thanks for your help.

When you have a lot of tabs open, Firefox stops showing the "x" on each tab. I think that was done so you could see more of the title. You still can close a tab by right-clicking it and choosing Close tab, or by pressing Ctrl+w to close it.
Is that the "x" you meant or is it a different one?

I have two things attached to my firefox browser which I cannot get rid of. Plugin-container.exe and a tool bar called MywebSearch. How do I get rid of these things?

The tool bar called MyWebSearch has replaced the Mozilla Firefox start page which is Google. I want to remove it. The Plugin-container.exe is something that I do not know about.
Thank you.
Bernard Moses

plugin-container.exe is an integral part of Firefox, for details on it and how to disable it if you do not want it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can normally uninstall MyWebSearch from the Windows control panel.
# Close Firefox and any other browsers
# In the Windows taskbar, from the "Start" menu select "Control Panel"
# Select "Add/Remove Programs"
# In the list of installed programs select "My Web Search Bar"
# Click "Change/Remove" and you should be asked to uninstall it
If the home page is still wrong, use the procedure in this link to change it - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

Can't get beyond the flashing question mark

I can't get beyond the flashing question mark on grey folder, on starting up.
I have tried starting with option key down, but still get the question mark.
I have tried starting with the command, option, P and R keys down but still get the same question mark.
I have put the No 1 Installation disc in, and started holding down the C key. The disc was immediately ejected with no change on the monitor.
Can anyone please suggest what else I could try?

I would suggest taking the faulty hd out of the Mac, putting it in an enclosure and seeing whether you can get anything off it. Alternatively,there's an application called Data Rescue Data Rescuehttp://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/211375 that has an excellent reputation for retrieving data from a bad disk.
If you do manage to get your data off, and then onto your MacBookPro, you should have no trouble putting it on a new drive in your iMac.
