Erm...An exclamation mark '!' has started to appear on my AE screen - Why?
It doesn't seem to be affecting anything and I can't seem to find anyone else on the web who has the same issues, the only thing I'm hazarding a guess at is that it is something to do with Open GL, as its in the same colour/font + drop shadow as the open GL font is. Beyond that I'm stumped.
Anyone any ideas?

There's a weird glitch that causes some script panels to appear at the minimum size (which looks an awful lot like an exclamation point).
Scripts like BG Renderer need to be installed in the ScriptUI Panels folder and run from the Window menu as described here: http://aescripts.com/faq/how-to-install-and-run-scripts/
Once it's installed and run this way, you should avoid the issue you are experiencing.

ITunes has recently began corrupting my music library and my Podcasts. An exclamation mark has appeared at the beginning of a random number of songs and against some Podcasts with the result that they will not play on iTunes. Message is that iTunes cannot

iTunes has recently began corrupting my Music and some of the Podcasts. An exclamation mark appears at a random selection of songs - about a thoussanad of them - and they will not play as iTunes says that it cannot locate the file. This also has happened on a number of Podcasts. Any one else encountered this?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, if you are running Windows (you've posted in iTunes for Windows, but your sig mentions Mac OS X...), and as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Ipod nano shows icon of folder with exclamation mark on start nd then shuts

i just got a new ipod nano i tried to start it after charging it but it shows me an icon of a folder with an exclamation mark and then shuts off.can nybody pls tell me how to d the entire setup from the start to end please

All i can suggest is that you try and restore it on another computer (maybe a PC) and see if it fixes the problem. I am a service technician and I've done pretty much all the things you've tried on a iPod Video and still had to replace it so it looks like that'll be what you need to do.

"Open document with" has started to appear

GroupWise 7 client and server - we do not integrate our documents with the
appropriate applications when installing GroupWise clients.
Until recently when double clicking on a document in the library - either
by browsing the library directly or using Find - GroupWise fired up the
appropriate application (usually MS word from Office 2003) then loaded the
document, returning it to the library when you had finished editing.
We are now being asked to select the application to be used to open the
document, even though the icon for the file type in the library shows the
correct application.
This has started recently for me and other users. As far as I know we have
made no changes. Is there any way to force GroupWise to use the appropriate
application without prompting the user.
This problem does not occur if I use Windows Explorer to browse documents
on the local machine or on the network - so Windows knows the correct
application to use to open the .doc files.
Thanks
Ian

More information:
It's a particular problem with GroupWise. When I double click on an
attachement to an e-mail, where the default action is to open, I'm also
presented with a list of programs to use to open the document. Even when I
say "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" the setting
does not stick.
Yet double clicking on a .doc file in Windows Explorer always loads word
and opens the doc without asking me which program to use. So my PC knows
about the correct file associations - it's GroupWise that forgets
Thanks

My Office Jet Pro L7590 has started to appear to skip lines when printing.

My printer seems to partially print lines, in some cases only the bottom half of letters is appearing on my printouts. I have cleaned the print heads and trired a couple of new cartidges but still the probelm persists. This is only happening to the black text. The Alignment report looks good and so does the Self Test Report but even on the Self Test Report some of the test is partially printed yet the reslults of the test look good.
I'm considering replacing the print heads but am not convinved that this will resolve the issue.

Make sure you have only one securtity system on your PC (for example if you have an old version of McAfee that you just left on there and added another system), uninstal the old, unused security system.
Go to Start > All Programs > HP > [your printer model] > Uninstall. Run it.
Restart your PC.
Download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

Had iphone 5 15 days and a mark has started to show up on photos, esp when I zoom in.

I have a new iphone 5 on a contract with Orange and yesterday I noticed this strange mark on all the photos taken in the last few days. (see picture)I have always kept the phone in an impactology case and have screen protectors front and back. I realise this has happened while the phone belonged to me and not before, but I believe that the camera on such an expensive phone should not become dameged so quickly in biew of all the protections I have in place. Will Apple replce or repair this issue or will I have to pay? Alternatively ought I to go to Orange, with whom I have the contract? Please help.

The lens cover is sapphire glass which is pretty scratch resistant, if you have damaged it I think there is not much you can do unless you have insurance, all the protection in the world wont help if the camera lens got bashed or you dropped it. However if its a fault and you see no marks on the camera take it in, Apple may help you out as its new possibly but don't hold your breath. If its a fault talk to Orange first. The fact the phone is expensive is neither here nor there, you can still crash a Ferrari and damage it, cost does not mean its not easy to damage.

HT6114 Since updating my mbp it has started freezing on a bright blue screen with verticle lines.

Hello, II have just used teh software update and it updated my macbook pro - I think I am now using Maverik, 0SX 10.9.2
My computer keeps crashing with a bright blue screen and verticle lines. One time it crashed so it looked like my desktop was a split screen. I reboot and it starts up OK but then it happens again. I have run disc utility which says I there are no problems. Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks

Might be a hardware issue. (graphics card)
Run the Apple Hardware Test
If you don't want to do that, take your Mac to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider.
Locations listed here.

I am prompted to pick 3 security questions in the App Store, however when I click the 'question' to select my question, all that appears is a white screen, why? It is preventing me from downloading any apps on my iPad

The three security questions won't load for me to fill out so I am unable to download any apps. Why are they not loading?

turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

Exclamation marks appearing

Hello everyone,
Those dreaded exclamation marks have started to appear. All of my music is where it has been for about 2 years now, on an external hard drive, and nothing else has changed apart from the usual system/iTunes upgrades and I'm up to date on both counts.
Over the last couple of days I've had to manually go and locate a lot of songs which have just become 'lost' in the iTunes system. In fact one album was playing perfectly yesterday has suddenly now got 4 exclamation marks and the Mac has been on the whole time with iTunes running.
Does anyone have an idea about this as I don't much fancy having to re-import up to 20,000 songs.

A couple years ago I started getting question marks for no apparent reason. I hadn't moved any songs - they were still there and I could link them...only to have them disappear again a few days later.
When that happened (songs I relinked became lost again) I exported my library and each of my playlists and copied them to another drive and made sure I'd backed up that last few CDs I'd ripped. (I suspected the drive was dying or that the directory was damaaged.)
I used Apple's Disk Utility to check the integrity of my drive and found several errors it couldn't repair. Since I always have spare stuff around (I work in IT) I copied all my songs to an external drive, formatted the drive, and moved everything back again. I wound up losing data on about 100 songs but that solved my problem.

I have exclamation marks on my iTunes songs on my computer. How do I get rid of them?

I have iTunes match and it works fine on the iPad however on my computer where they originated from there is an exclamation mark with a circle around it on my songs and it will only play one song and then stops. I can manually double click on each song as to play it but how do I get rid of all those pesky things.?

I'm having a problem very similar to the one herb clark described. It occurred when I upgraded to OSX 10.10. Suddenly have the songs in my itunes library have this **** exclamation point in front of them and they don't play in a playlist. I can play them by simply double-clicking on the song, this will clear the exclamation mark and start playback. I can also clear the mark by selecting the song and choosing "Get Info"—as soon as the info window opens the mark disappears. Once the mark is gone the song then behaves normally and plays in the playlist.
It has nothing to do with deleted files. No files have been deleted. Itunes never asks me to locate files.
I have not synced with any devices. I have never synced itunes.
I doubt it has anything to do with itunes Match because I've never used Match or subscribed to it.
It appears that the only way to fix this is to doubleclick on every song that has an exclamation mark. That would take hours to do.
Any ideas about how to fix this and make the exclamation marks go away?

Exclamation marks in my library

I have downloaded some music for my library and created playlists but when I return to play them sometimes an exclamation mark is there, I know what it means but why should it happen, i have done nothing to extract this from my library.

+One time I forgot to connect this hard drive and I started iTunes.+
Before you did anything else, did you quit iTunes, connect the exHD using the *same exact drive letter as before*, and then start itunes again?

"Update current process" exclamation mark missing in LR5?

Can someone tell my why my older images (in LR 5) don't have an exclamation mark asking me if I want to update them to the current process?
I was just reviewing some older .JPG files that were originally imported with Lightroom 2 or 3. In the develop panel the old settings "Recovery" and "Fill Light" are displayed, which alerted me to the fact that the most current process is not being used. If I remember correctly, there used to be an exclamation mark in the corner of each photo alerting me to this.
I discovered that if I right-click on the photos at the bottom of the screen, I can select "Develop Settings" / "Update to current process", but I found the exclamation mark to be more convenient. I hope there is some way to get that feature back.
Thanks in advance for any tips :-)

The exclamation mark has been changed/moved in LR5. It's now a "lightning/thunderbolt" symbol underneath the histogram in the Develop Module. Hovering over the icon will tell you what the process version is, click on the icon will allow you to update it.

Logic has started behaving sluggishly

Hi
Logic has started behaving sluggishly & I have no idea why this should be.
For example if I try to create a new audio/instrument channel there is a definate pause before it is created almost as though the program is searching.
This causes things like the input meters on the mixer to freeze for a while before starting to work again & the song position line will stop, although the audio still plays back normally.
The CPU Meters don't show an excessive CPU usage & I have emptied my hard drive as much as possible onto an external Hard Drive.
All my Logic Projects are stored on an external drive.
Has anyone any idea why this has started to happen & any ideas as to how I can cure this?
My OS is Lion 10.7.3 & the machine is an iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of Ram.

These are related problems with Automap, there's quite a few more.

I have started to get the message on screen after I start my pc(apply SyncNotifier.exe the procedure entry point xml Text reader ConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxm12.dll.

The message I keep getting above has started to appear each time I start my pc. How do I deal with it? I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but no luck.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libxml2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

TS1717 I have exclamation marks (!) which has ruined my playlist as it doesn't function as it should. I was downloading music when a scan had started which I cancelled. Ever since then I've had these exclamation marks anyone know how to fix it?

I have exclamation marks at the beginning of the titles which has ruined my playlist as it doesn't function as it should. I was downloading music when a scan started which I then cancelled as it was slowing down my download. Ever since then I've had these exclamation marks and now these tunes are not transferrable and I've lost them in my music file on the ipod nano and so cannot reload them again. Anyone know how to remove the !!!'s or clean my files?

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed..
Usually the actual music files are still there, so you need to check to see if you can find them.
If they are there, open iTunes and select a problem track, right click and select Get Info.
Answer NO when asked if you want to locate the track.
Now you should see where iTunes thinks the tack is located on the summary tab, how does this compare with where the track actually is.
This info should help work out what has gone wrong.

Erm...An exclamation mark '!' has started to appear on my AE screen - Why?
