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.

Why blue question marks where images should be ......

...for only some web pages?
www.ebay.com
www.yahoo.com
www.jjill.com
www.comfortex.com
Some site, such as www.apple.com populate images
fully.
Any ideas?
This is a brand new Mac to me.
Thanks for your time

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.

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?

How do I set up an RSS feed? I get a blue question mark icon where a picture would be on some sites.

Quicksilver won't boot: all I get is the question mark

I bought a Quicksilver a couple of days ago; it was running ok until today.
The problems started today; I was running Panther from drive 2, and I noticed that my Classic apps were not able to see that drive; I realised that it was using the system folder in drive 1.
I reset the Classic folder in system preferences, rebooted but the problem remained. I rebooted again, this time from drive 1 which has Tiger; now drive 2 doesn't show on the desktop, but is still visible in system prefs; I select drive 2 from OS 9 folder, and restart.
And from that point on, all I had is the flashing question mark. I tried everything: tried to start holding shift, return, X, C,zapped the PRAM, reset the PMU/cuda, took off the battery, changed drives, nada. It doesn't respond to drives, cds, etc.
I've installed drive 1 in my old Sawtooth, and I'm using it right now; although Istill can't start Classic (seems to be a language issue as my OS 9 is in french and Tiger in english), otherwise it works without a hitch.
Holding the option key gives me a blue screen with a picture of a padlock, an arrow and an input field: typing my password does nothing. I also tried opening the firmware: I get the "mac-boot" prompt all right but again, I keep being asked for a password with everything I enter, and doesn't recognize my password.
It's a dual 1 ghz QS, with drive 2 being a 400G Seagate, and drive 1 a 80G Seagate, presumably the original one. I paid 500$ for it on e-bay: seriously, have I been had?

You said you took out the battery but not if you tried installing a fresh one. Old batteries can cause strange problems and used computers may have sat around for a while before being sold, draining the battery.
If you have a digital multimeter you can check the condition of your present battery. It should read at least 3.2V if it is the 3.6V half-AA battery type. Ideally this should be measured while the battery is under load; added recommendation from Hans777:
I have recently found out that an exhausted battery will still indicate >3.6 V with a high internal resistance VM.
Checking incircuit: powercord disconnected press PMU reset button for >about 5 sec before measuring.
Checking outside: load the battery with a 1500 Ohm resistor when measuring.

How can I change the state for normal. All I get is a question mark.

I can't change the normal state for my site. The button for color of text for the normal state is a question mark. Is there a way to reset this?

Thanks. I am trying to change the appearance of a hyperlink on a web page. Specifically, I want to change the default text color from blue to another color. I can change the color for the other states of the hyperlink (rollover, etc.) but the attempt to change the normal state of the hyperlink is unsuccessful because the color box for that state is a question mark.

An image comes on my screen, but I can only see the first page. When I try to print, I get a blue question mark and can't print.

Recently when I pull up a multi-page document from an internet site, I can only see the first page. I can't scroll through it. When I try to print, I get a big blue questionmark. What's the solution to this, please?

Thank you so much!! So simple, yet so effective! Am happy!

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.

Blue question mark after uploading image

After uploading an image to a collection page I only get a blue question mark on live site...no pics. Any idea why ?
Also, can add descriptions to video titles so they show up on content list without having to reupload entire video ?

I'm having this same problem with thumbnails. I just tried to update all my graphics yesterday...
The images I uploaded are showing up no problem in the back end, and if I click through to the collection page, the 300x300 version is there, but the front page of my site is a mess of blue question marks, and it's public-facing.
HELP! Anyone?

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.

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.

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?

The message may be talking about icloud storage -or- available memory on your device.
Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.
