Exclamation Mark On Printer Icon

Every time I print from my iMac to my HP Photosmart 5510 printer, an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle appears on the printer icon in my Dock, like this:
What does this mean?
The "Now Printing" window that pops up on my screen looks like this, again with an exclamation mark over the printer's icon:

Hi Barry,
The HP Photosmart 5510 is a new printer that came out this month (September 2011). The most recent HP Printer Software Update that Apple released via System Preferences>Software Update is version 2.7, which came out in early August 2011.
So, the drivers for the Photosmart 5510 aren't available in Apple's HP Printer Software Update, yet.
I had to download the drivers manually from HP's website, and install them myself. So yes, my software is up-to-date, but it's straight from HP, and not via Apple. I'm currently running Snow Leopard, but the same exclamation mark problem exists in Lion.

Exclamation Mark on wireless icon

Hi,
I have a MacBook 5,2 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 Ghz 2GB Memory running snow leopard. I connect to my personal wireless at home and a wireless at my university campus (set-up on campus).
Since my upgrade to snow leopard I have had no issues at home however on campus the wireless icon shows an exclamation mark with a message on the drop down menu "alert: no internet connection". this happens on my university campus only (at least so far). The strange thing is the internet is working and I can browse/download etc. I have contacted the IT department on campus and they have said the issue has only started with people with snow leopard and have no idea. To clarify, the internet is working but I am being told it is not (on campus only, not the case at home). It is not a huge issue as I can access the internet but the exclamation mark is driving me crazy and cannot find a solution.
Any ideas? anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks for your help!

We too have similar problems. I have an older macbook with leopard and it's fine - but a new MBPro with snow leopard has all these problems.
I was prompted to respond here in particular because when we tried to wirelessly connect the MBPro to my home router (it worked for about 30 seconds initially - internet connection as well, but then died) it not only doesn't work (and shows the exclamation mark) but it hangs the router - ie: the old macbook loses connection as well. The only fix here is to restart the router.
This result is completely repeatable. Now (because we successfully connected for a few seconds with the correct wep password) all we have to do is open the lid of the MBPro and my old trusty macbook stops working as well!! (I can't ping the router at this stage either) Power cycle router and comes good again (having turned off airport on the MBPro).
Now, at a different location our BT broadband has gone pear-shaped (almost brand new homehub looks as if it might have died) one wonders if the MBPro is suspect again..
I do hope an OS update will fix this annoyance.

IMac gets exclamation mark on wifi icon

Hi,
My iMac gets an exclamation mark this afternoon saying alert: no internet connection. In network setting it says self-assigned ip. It worked perfectly before and all of a sudden it just won't connect to the Internet. My MacBook and iPad are able to connect to wifi so definitely some thing is wrong in my iMac. I got the exclamation mark once at school with my MacBook, but the problem seemed to be solve after one class which is 70 mins (I let it sleep and did nothing to it). Ive been trying to fix this problem with my iMac fir the whole afternoon but still get this exclamation mark.
I've tried: a. Turn off and on wifi. B. Trying to delete plist files in library but I couldn't find them. C. Renew DHCP lease d. Create new location. E. Restart
But no use. Any help?? Thanks in advance.
Mustache,

Would love to know this answer as well. I have a MacBook pro and am staying at my daughters house. Last night I got on the Internet by typing in her password, but tonight I can't, however I am using my iPad. How can I get a connection on one but not the other. Very frustrating since my iPad won't open the connections I need to work on since they require flash. Would love to know how to fix this problem.
A simple restart has solved it for me on the few occasions it has happened.

Red exclamation mark in battery icon

I have Z30. When I am switching on my phone, first it shows the blackberry logo then a red battery icon with exclamatory mark shows and turns off. Device is not switchng on its showing the same thing also while connecting with charger. Please provide solution.

I'm not sure. I was expecting you to respond that you had performed the recent upgrade to 10.3.1.
Please bear with me. Try this. Plug your BlackBerry into a wall charger. Use a genuine BlackBerry charger. Don't use another brand charger or USB. Leave the device on the charger for 2 hours or more. Then, while plugged in, remove the battery. After a minute, put the battery back. Again, leave the device on the charger for two or more hours. Then check and see if the device has booted.
It's also possible the battery is bad, or the device is broken. If the above doesn't fix the issue, you should try a known good battery in your device, and try your battery in a known good Z30. That should identify whether the device or the battery is the issue.
If you bought your device through a carrier and it turns out from your troubleshooting that the device itself is in question, contact your carrier's customer support and ask for help and tell them the troubleshooting steps you have performed. If they can't solve the problem and the device is under warranty, make a warranty claim.

Problems Printing Ricoh Aficio 1045 via IPP (Error with Exclamation Mark)

Two of our offices use Ricoh Aficio 1045 and I'm having difficulty printing to either printer via my MacBook (Op System: Mac OSX 10.4.10). I've tried using IPP and have downloaded the proper drivers, but when I press print, a printer icon appears on my Dock and sports a red exclamation mark! From there, it seems like my printer job has been stopped, so I click on Start printing, but nothing happens and it seems my print job isn't even spooled. Can someone tell me what is going on?

Here's the most likely problem - IPP (Internet Printing Protocol, NOT IP printing) and LPD both require that you enter both the IP address and the printer/server/device queue name. The queue name is a required part if the address to route data to print. It can usually be found in the manual and is sometimes called port name. The HP Jetdirect protocol is called TCP/IP raw or TCP/IP port 9100 printing in manuals and it doesn't use a queue name. "PORT1" and "print" seem to be common Ricoh queue names
The drivers you downloaded may be for postscript. If your printers don't have postscript, you should be able to use the HP Laserjet 6 Series Gimp-Print driver included in OS X.

Re iphoto: when I double click on a thumbnail i get e grey screen with exclamation mark..can't access my photos to edit, order prints etc

Was wondering if anyone can help...I am not very computer friendly but want to be able to edit my photos, use them as jpegs, order prints etc. When I double click on a thumbnail ( am presuming the thumbnails are the small photos ) I get a grey screen with an exclamation mark on it. I cannot drag the thumbnail onto the desk top it just pings back. This doesn't happen with all the thumbnails and has been a problem since we upgraded to snowleopard. I recently reinstalled photos from the memory card from my camera and they are alright. I am presuming that the old photos are stuck in there somewhere if only I knew the right buttons to press to get them out. Thanks, Jane Thomas

Easiest: Restore from your back up.
Otherwise:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

How do I find out what the red exclamation mark or "error" on page refers to in a book that I want to send to print?

How do I find out what the red exclamation mark or "error" on page refers to in a i-photo book that I want to send to print?

If it's a text box it means the text has overflowed the boundries of the box. Check for line returns which won't be visible but will trigger the warning.

I get an error message when I try to use share function on IPhoto. I get the triangle icon with an exclamation mark inside of it.

I get an error message when I try to use the share function on iPhoto. When I try to share photos via email a triangle icon with an exclamation mark appears. Why can't I use share function?

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Query Results - failed with exclamation mark on icon

Hi there,
When I run a select query I now get an exclamation mark on the green arrow icon in the Query Results. I've been able to run this query before and no changes have been made.
In the Query Results window if I click the 'reload' icon (two blue arrows) the Output results flash up and then clear.

Closing/reopening SQL Developer doesn't help. I've restarted my PC and the results do appear, but then the same error appears again.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jon_Male,
A couple of points:
1. Your release is a bit out-of-date, plus it seems to be an early adopter release rather than the 3.0 production release (3.0.04.34).
2. The following old forum post discusses the same behavior occurring after an OutOfMemory error: exclamation mark on script output tab

No longer able to download podcasts, get an exclamation mark on left of episode listing after clicking download icon

suddenly cannot download new podcasts to my Shuffle. After clicking the download icon, I get an exclamation mark to the left of the podcast label. I tried resubscribing to the podcast with no success.

Duplicates with "iCloud icon w/ exclamation mark"

What I did:
I have an iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and another on my home iMac. I ran iTunes Match on the MacBook Pro and re-downloaded all songs from iTunes so I can be sure I have the best quality files in my library. All works fine on the MacBook Pro.
Then I turned to iTunes on the iMac at home. Have most of my songs in an almost identical iTuns library on the iMac too. Since I activated iTunes Match on the MacBook Pro I also find the iTunes Match option in iTunes on my iMac. Great! I run iTunes Match on the iMac with the following result:
Number of songs on the iMac almost doubled. Searching for duplicates in iTunes revealed that most songs are now twice in my iTunes library: one as 256 kBit/s version and another as a "256kBit/s (VBR)". All of the latter ones with an iCloud symbol with an exclamation mark, telling me that the object was not added to iCloud due to a problem. All of the other songs do not show any symbol in the iCloud column.
What shall I do now? Can I simply delete all songs with the iCloud/exclamation mark symbol without danger of deleting any files from my library? How about all the songs that do not show any iCloud symbol? Have they actually synced with iCloud?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Don't worry about others asking the same question, that's fine!
Try these helpful articles/posts about the folder with exclamation point, and a "sad iPod". I suggest reading all three links, because the "sad iPod" is similar to the folder with exclamation point:
iPod displays a folder icon with an exclamation point
iPod displays sad iPod icon
Exclamation point and folder and nothing else
For right now, I wouldn't suggest restoring it. It could possibly create a situation of the iPod displaying that 3 gig has already been used when all the songsjust got wiped off by the restore.
On the other hand, if you've tried the above, I suggest doing the following:
Here's something that worked for lots of people on here, and even an Apple staff told someone this once.
Pick up your iPod, stand over a surface that’s not hard (like carpeted), hold the iPod vertically and so that the bottom (play/pause side) faces the ground, and drop it.
This will jerk your iPod’s inner disk “back to life”. I know it might sound silly, but it works for people with similar problems. That’s because you’re probably having a problem with the inner disk. So, give it a try!
Hope this answers the question!

Exclamation Mark Icon on Mail

I have used Mail for years and never had a problem until I upgraded to a MacBook this year and joined Mobile Me. Now Mail shows the exclamation mark icon several times a day, and I have to force quit it and reopen it to get new emails. Sometimes emails don't send and I end up with half the document in Draft. I have a DSL connection through Qwest, which I have also had for several years, and am wireless with an Airport.

And my ipod touch can access mail again now too. Thanks for your response!
Your welcome, Ruby. And you can blame MobileMe for the cause of it too. I'm just glad I waited until they *MADE ME* use @me.com but now I still have the @mac.com as well. Just make sure that the incoming mail server is "mail.mac.com" & the outgoing mail server is "smtp.me.com".
Why-O-Why can't they just keep it simple like the good old day's? The hard they make it, the easier it is to break it.
Later ...

Help! Folder icon with exclamation mark!

Hello. I turned my iPod Nano on and all I got was a folder
icon and an exclamation mark! How do I get this off? The
computer wont recognize it!

I had the same problem on my Nano last week. I also had it a couple of weeks after it first came out and had to send it back to be repaired - useless idiots took 2 months and they didn't even know where my iPod was so they just sent me a new one.
Anyway....
I tried doing the restore factory settings with the updater but it didn't work, i got "firmware update failure. Disk write error". Faffed about with it for ages and then decided to format using Windows which then allowed the iPod updater to work and restore the factory settings.
All sorted now!!!
