Documents in my dock are showing up as question marks and I cannot open... please help!!
I save several excel documents on my dock. Today I went to open one of the documents and the files were showing up in my dock as gray question marks. I am unable to open the documents or find them anywhere else on my computer! Please help!!
That may result in losing Dock icons for the Office applications (don't know why it should?) but shouldn't cause document icons in the Dock to disappear.

Had to reinstall lion because of my error, but now a lot of apps. are showing up on my dock as question marks and will not open.
Ive gotten the question mark icon thing, and I just took them off the dock and redragged them onto the dock from the Applications folder again and they worked fine. Mine were a couple of game type programs nothing major yet. Just wanted to throw that out there though since I had that happen with a few dock icons.

Everytime I try to load system preferences the icon shows up a question mark and does not respond
Which icon is behaving that way? The one in the Dock, or the one in the Applications folder?
Does System Preferences open OK when choosing that item in the Apple menu? -
Not even had it on in a month and turned it on this morning and my dock is all messed up and I can't even open Finder
Pull the question marks off the Dock and let go, drag new icons of the app down to the Dock from the Applications folder.
Try another restart in Recovery command R.

Mail in dock but has "?" on the icon and I cannot open it
I have seen similar postings, but not exactly the same as the problem I am having. When I go to Applications, "Mail" is not there.
Please help!!!!Hi Meredith,
If i were having this problem i would check to see if the application Mail was
still even installed on your eMac!
It sounds like you or someone using your mac accidentally deleted the app.
Otherwise it should be in your Applications folder.
If it is still in your Applications folder, just pull the "?" out of the dock
and drag the icon for Mail into the dock.
If it's not..... you may have to reinstall it from your restore disks that
came with your eMac.
To do this, just do a custom install and just select to install Mail only.
Be Careful and make sure essential files and folders are backed up if you are unfamiliar with doing a custom install.
I think that should do it.
Let me know if that helps!

When I view the website using Firefox, it shows and plays beautifully. But, when I view it on Safari, there is a tiny question mark where the audio control should be, and no music plays. I'd really appreciate some help with this one.
Many thanks,

www.joeperronejr.com (in case you want to see the site) It's the Home PageI just opened your site with Safari and on the Home page the music play straight away and then there is the player at the bottom right of the page which I can see with no problem at all.
Perhpas you need to empty your brower cache for it to display correctly - it seems to be working correctly for others here who have viewed it in Safari.
Check your preferences and perhaps clear your cookies and then empty your browser cache. -

I have checked and I am supposed to have a camera that uses Version 8.1 of the Raw package, but when I try to open a raw image, I am told that the .arw file is not supported by PS Elements 12. Help!
Are you using photoshop elements 12 or 13?
Which operating system are you using?
If your using pse 12, did you try Help>Updates from within pse 12 to get camera raw 8.5?
The Sony A3000 needs at least camera raw 8.2

Weblogic 12c Servlet Response - Special characters show up as question mark
My web app is running on Weblogic 12c (12.1.1) using WebWork + Hibernate. The program streams data (bytes making up a pdf) from a CLOB in an Oracle Database to the AsciiStream of the servlet output response. No exceptions are thrown, but the generated pdf contains blank pages. Comparing the bytes of the generated pdf, special characters are showing up as question marks.
Some of the bytes read in from the database contain 8 bits (correct data), but the bytes that the servlet return contain only 7 (all bytes with 8 bits become "1111111"). The number of bytes returned from the servlet is correct.
Code:
//Response is HttpServletResponse
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\"test.pdf\"");
out = response.getOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[16 * 1024];
InputStream in = clob.getAsciiStream();
int size = -1;
while ((size = in.read(buf)) != -1){
// buf contains the correct data
out.write(buf, 0, size);
// other exception handling code, etc
out.flush();
out.close();
"Correct" pdf byte example:
10011100
10011101
1010111
1001011
1101111
11011011
Incorrect pdf byte example:
111111
111111
1010111
1001011
1101111
111111
I have verified that the data read from the CLOB in the database IS correct. My guess is that the Weblogic server has some strange servlet settings that causes the bytes to be written to the servlet output stream incorrectly, or a character encoding issue. Any ideas?
Edited by: 944705 on Jul 26, 2012 10:17 AMSolution found, I'll post the work around to those who might encounter the same problem.
Somewhere in the layers of technology (webwork or weblogic I'd guess), the servlet response is encoded into UTF-8 regardless. The encoding in the database was ISO-8859-1. Sending ISO encoded bytes by UTF-8 caused the conflicting character codes (anything above 127) to show up as undefined.
The fix is to decode the input byte array into ISO-8859 string, then encode that string into UTF-8, which can be send by Weblogic.
isoConvert = new String(buf, "ISO-8859-1");
out.write(isoConvert.getBytes("UTF-8"), 0, isoConvert.getBytes("UTF-8").length); -
I really need someone to help me. I have been trying to figure out how to select a PDF document to convert to a Word doc. When I go to select a PDF file, all that shows up is the WORD docs. does not show ANY of my PDF files... Please help me figure out what is going on? We have it set on auto renewal so I know its not that we haven't renewed this subscription, because we pay automatically.
Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. In one case, a message someone had sent to me wound up in the mailbox of a third person, who was not included in the address list!! I have only two accounts, and have checked everything; only one account is showing the repeats Now, that account is my professional account, and it resides in three places: I use it on the laptop described here, I use it through Apple Mail on the much newer desktop Mac in my office, and I can run it through Web mail on my employer's server, which is where the professional account resides (I have a mailbox there, etc.) That program is called Zimbra.
My personal account is with Earthlink and is not doing the repeats. I access it either through my MacBook's Apple Mail or the Web; the Apple Mail on my office Mac is not configured to access the Earthlink server.
What IS going on here?? My friends, colleagues, and students (I teach college) are mystified by these ancient messages.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!
Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.
