Exclaimation Marks all over

I am on Yosemite, iPhoto 9.6, iMac 27" 2010. Most of my photos are showing up at exclamation marks when I click on the thumb nails. I understand iPhoto somehow lost the connection btw thumbnail and file, how do I fix it in this version? (I have rebuilt the library once already. It does not fix the issue. I have not tried going to the iPhoto Library Manager.) Pls help.

I followed the advice on the link and "restored" from Time Machine a copy of iPhoto Library from Feb. This library at that time (Feb) is ~46GB. The file created by the restore is about 12GB. I noticed the icon of this library is a simple file folder, not the iPhoto icon.
I tried two things:
1. Open iPhoto so that I can choose which library to use. This "restored" version does not show up a a library of choice even though the file name is "iPhoto Library".
2. Click on the newly created folder and I got this message on the terminal:
Last login: Tue Nov 18 10:25:16 on ttys003
Ella2010siMac2:iPhoto Library ellafshum$
I deleted this restored folder. Went back into Time Machine to find a date when the icon is iPhoto and not simple folder. It was in August. So I restored from that copy. The exclamation marks are all over the place. This version of iPhoto also has the broken links.
QUESTION: what happened to the older iPhoto Library backups? why did they lose the iPhoto Library status and why does it open console and gave me that message? Pls help. Thx.

My iPhone 4 has had a cover on it since the day I first had . But the back of the phone now has lots of little marks all over it . They don't feel like scratches since I can't feel them with finger or fingernail. They won't shift with alcohol or anything

My iPhone 4 has had a cover on it since the day I first had it . But the back of the phone now has lots of little marks all over it . They don't feel like scratches since I can't feel them with finger or fingernail. They won't shift with alcohol or anything. I am guessing they have been caused by dirt between the cover and the rear of the phone; but that is despite me cleaning the back and the inside of the back cover regularly. Has anyone else had the same?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Question marks all over web pages

I downloaded Quicktime 7.1.5 with iTunes and now heaps of websites come up with little Quicktime "Q"'s with question marks over them come up on screen instead of ads, movies, etc.
Some pages don't even get that far they just don't properly load. I never had the trouble with the previous version so I can only assume it's the current settings of this new version. I've tried loads of different settings, uninstalling-reinstalling, nothing seems to work!!!
HELP PLEASE!

I think that may have done it. There were several sites that were showing the problem and I haven't been onto all of them yet but I think that may have done it, thanks heaps

InDesign CS3 - Vanilla Install - Question Marks All Over My Content

Yes, I'm still using InDesign CS3 on my MacBook Pro from 5 years ago. CS3 has worked like a charm and I've never had a problem with any files until this morning.
I've got a 120 page book, each page with images and text boxes, none of which are threaded. I opened my file this morning and all my content boxes: images and text have question marks on the top left corner.
I have no plug-ins. The installation is straight out of the box with the occasional updates, which stopped quite awhile ago.
The error that pops up when I place the cursor in a text box is: "31-40-TasksAssemble-Instal.incx" cannot be located. Another error is: "31-40 TasksDirectly supe-1.incx cannot be located. I have no idea what these mean and when I did a Google search there were only 3 returns and they were from what appeared to be software pirate sites. I can't find a reference to this on the Adobe forums either.
I've saved under a different name, different file type and replaced the preferences, all to no avail. I think the application is behaving as though I've "checked out" the content, but I don't share my files with anyone and the file itself isn't on a network - there is nowhere to check out to, and the commands to check in is grayed out so I can't reverse the behavior.
I'm stumped and I have a deadline! Can anyone help??
thank you!

No one has worked on or had access to this file but me. I'm on a network but I'm a Mac in a PC world and no one would even know how to find my hd, let alone do anything on it.
I have to believe it is related to my moving my entire project folder to an external hd (not just the file as I mentioned before) as a means of backup. I don't know why it would matter or what it could have done unless there are files created in the Library that are somehow related/linked to the stories.
I'm still searching the Adobe Forums for something related but all ID/IC related discussions relate to people actually using IC!
I've unlinked all of my content from IC and now I'll have to see what happens.
[POSTSCRIPT]
I've been editing my layout most of the day and so far so good.
The oddity of each box asking for a link to InCopy, which has never been used, happened only after I dragged my project folder to an external hard drive as a precautionary backup. All InDesign files in both original and backup folder suffered this problem. I didn't dare open any other ID files for fear of corrupting them so I can't say how widespread this problem would have been.
I do not know why making a copy of a folder would have created this problem and I can't find any discussion thread that talks about it, much less sheds any light on the subject.
After unlinking all of the boxes from their non-existent "host file" the boxes remained intact complete with images and formatting. I saved often!

Question marks all over site

I uploaded my site from dreamweaver, but when i try to view it online most of the pages are covered in small question marks in blue boxes. I presume this means there is something going wrong with my images. Could anyone give me some help on this on how to get rid of the question marks and get my site up and running. Much appreciated.

You really should be able to figure this out yourself. You apparently have two folders for images on the server and are making use of both of them (images and Images). Pick one and be consistent in using it.

Check marks and question marks all over my icons

Hello!
Sometime in the last few days I've noticed that a bunch of the icons in my Finder have strange little question marks and check marks on them. I first noticed a check mark on the icon for the hard drive, but when I looked closer they turned out to be everywhere! here's a screen shot of what they look like:
http://www.theamazingrolo.net/marks.jpg
(i just took a screenshot of the info windows to make it more clear, but the marks can be seen in any finder window)
What on earth are they about?! Any ideas? They kind of bug me, to be honest.
Thanks!

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

My iPhone just loaded 1600 emails dating back over two years from one of my accounts. Is there a way to "mark all as read"?

My iPhone just loaded 1600 emails dating back over two years from one of my accounts. Is there a way to "mark all as read"?

Your Comcast accounts are POP (unless you enrolled in the Comcat Beta test of Imap) so they won't sync at all. Either enroll in the Beta test or don't use Comcast.
Your iCloud account is Imap and should sync just fine, unless you have set it up incorrectly.

Help! Some of my photos in iPhoto have a big round white circle with an exclaimation mark in it. Can you help me?

Some of my photos are opening and then immediately showing a big round white circle with a black exclaimation mark in the center. What the heck is this and how do I get rid of it? Help Joy

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iphoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

HT203167 I had 25 tv shows in my itunes library, and 3 movies. Now there all gone, I can access them thru the store but I dont want to download all over again. There was like 50 gb of video. What do I do, Its impossable to contanct apple about it.

I had almost 30 different seasons of tv shows in my library, alot. Now there all gone, my library is blank. My purchases are in my purchasd section on the store but I dont have enough space to download them all over again. I cant figure out what happend to them. I just watched one, then turnd my pc off, and later that day they were gone. And its IMPOSSABLE to contact apple about it, I dont know why its so hard to ask them any kind of question... Please help..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV 2 will play all the content in your iTunes library that your Apple TV 1 does. It can no longer sync any of it but can stream it all just as the older model did. Airplay is a different feature that lets you stream from an iPad/iPhone, the Apple TV 2 has Airplay the first didn't.
You can still sort and search content by genre, it still marks content watched and unwatched and mainly still lets you organise much as the Apple TV 1 did, with one exception. It doesn't do nested folders, so the ability to tag a movie as a show (ie James Bond) and have all the associated movies in a James bond folder has gone and it lists all these movies individually.
It has a similar situation with TV shows. It will put all TV shows in a series in a folder as the older one did, but the new one lists each series separately whereas the older model would put all the series in one folder.
Not nesting folders is a bit of a pain with large libraries and whilst I don't like it, it's more or less the only compromise I have to make and of course I get additional features too.

Ipod Nano shows file with exclaimation mark!

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas! Can anyone help me before she gets up in the morning to find it not working!
The screen shows the file with exclaimation mark. I have followed all the 5R advice on the apple site. All my software is bang up to date on my G4 powerbook - even loaded the software disc onto my imac and installed the software successfully. Neither computer will mount the ipod - itunes won't open automatically. If I open it manually it doesn't see the nano! I have tried restore using the ipod software updater on both computers. Each time it freezes!
Can anyone help - emergency!

IOS 4 And Marking All E-Mail as Read

Hello,
Does anyone know if the "Mark all E-mail as Read" feature is going to make its way into iOS 4 / iPhone 4? I keep trying to find a full list of features for iOS 4, but all I see is buttons that say "learn more" and point at the same page which says the mail client was updated to support new exchange server, threading, and MORE FEATURES, which I can't find explained anywhere.
The only way I'll consider buying an iPhone is if I can mark all e-mail as read within 1-3 taps. Thus far, I can't find any indication that this is actually the case.
Thanks.

errr no...it is not a trivial issue, it is a real one.
I get 100-150 emails today, including a lot of spam which is a never ending task to control. I like to be able to scan email subject lines, choose the mails I want to look at, and then mark all as read. The Blackberry has a feature to do this with 2 clicks.
I have just got my first iphone, the iphone4, and am absolutely lost for words that there is no "mark all mail as read" function.
Telling folks to move from POP3 to IMAP is complete tosh. I mention this, as this appears to be a stock answer on some other forums. Why should you have to change your mail accounts /set up forwarding etc., just because you have changed phones?
Come on apple, less of the BS fluff apps. Give us proper control over our email please ! Unbelievable.

When in organizer how do I keep my cursor from jumping all over the place?

When I am working in Organizer 12, My cursor jumps all over the place and the screen keeps repositioning itself. It is infurating and I can't get any work done. New desktop iMac using Marevick 10.9.1 and wireless mouse and track pad both slowed to lowest level. Also tried using a tethered mouse but no different. Anyone else have this problem. Is it an Apple problem?

Is it a 'Magic Mouse'? If so that's why, there are many reports that it is badly behaved in the Elements Organizer. If not, do you have another mouse you could try it with (to rule out a hardware problem)?

Any clue will be apreciated. I checked few other similar post but their solution is not working for me.
Please mark as helpful if it is really helpful

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to solve this error when you opened the SharePoint Management Shell.
This error message probably appears in the SharePoint Management Shell when it is opened, if you previously have installed Foundation SP1 on Server.
I recommend that you can follow the steps to check and solve this issue.
1. Navigate to Log folder and check whether any helpful logs are there or not.
The default location for the log files is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOG.
2. Restart timer jobs which are related to the Workflow and check event viewer see whether it helps.
3. I suggest that you can apply the correct SP1 to the farm, restart the system and
run as administrator on the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard one more time.

Exclaimation Marks

Dear all,
I recently bought an iPod 160GB Classic. Previously I had used an Archos 605 for all my mp3 needs, syncing it with Windows Media Player.
So, I opened Itunes and clicked File/Open Folder and selected my 'My Music' folder with all my music in. After a few hours, all my music had been opened into Itunes and everything was fine. I synced my new iPod and everything worked.
However, today I attempted to sync my iTunes but was shown an error window stating something like 'iTunes cannot find the location of this music...want to locate it now?'. So, a lot of the songs in iTunes had this exclaimation mark beside them, highlighting a problem. I clicked 'Locate' and found one of the song's location, which enabled me to play that song again and cleared it of exclaimation marks.
I thought the problem was that my iTunes was having to find music stored in 'My Music' rather than 'iTunes Library'; so I selected all the files in 'My Music' and dragged them into my 'iTunes Library' folder.
Yet, to my surprise, this did not fix the problem and instead, when I opened up iTunes, it was blank.
All my music is located in the 'iTunes Library' folder still, but I cannot File/Open From Folder and open it into iTunes because it tells me that I don't have enough space on my C: (because I'm running low).
Is there anyway I can get my music back onto my iTunes? If so, where do I need to save my music in the future, etc?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Glenn.

+it tells me that I don't have enough space on my C:+
First make sure you have the copy files setting turned off:

Sounds like your .itl file got damaged. Try creating a new library by holding down the shift key while starting itunes:

Google Reader: Mark All as Read?

I am using Google Reader with Safari on the iPhone
www.google.com/reader/m/subscriptions
This is an excellent way to keep up with Blogs. I find that when I make changes in Google Reader on the PC with Firefox or IE, the subscriptions change nicely on the iPhone. The one thing I have been unable to do, however, is mark all messages as "read" on the iPhone side; even if I do this on the PC side, the iPhone still shows hundreds of items as "unread."
Has anyone figured out a way to reset all iPhone Google Reader items to "read" status, so that it will be easy to see what is truly new?
Thanks!

they seem to over look very basic things like giving the IPad any telephone function?? so if there is no local wifi you are stuffed.... I guess you can always pick up the local newspaper and read whilst waiting for the IPad to fin a wifi network ?
Do you really think the iPad should be a grotesquely oversized cell phone or are you completely oblivious the the announced 3G data models?
BTW The link to leave suggestions on iphone enhancements doesn't work !
It sure works for me and everyone else.
