Getting rid of question mark in dock.

I've read Apple Knowledge Base and can not find how to get rid of the question mark icon in the dock.

Control-click them and choose Remove from Dock.

  • Cant get rid of question marks

    Well. Im stuffed ... my clients ( but not all of em) are reading question marks in my emails everywhere. What is going on ? Help please .. Text encoding is set on automatic. Ive read other similar complaints but then just blame outlook on windows . I am not willing to write in plain text.. surely there must be a reason why this happens.. can anyone help..many thanks

    seems not everyone has this
    experience , why is that ?
    Probably because different kinds of messages are being sent and different apps or different Windows OS settings are being used to receive them.
    It surely must be a
    problem to only a few unlucky machines ..
    I don't think so. The issue was discovered when Tiger was released over two years ago and the advice for "fixing" it has been given out countless times here and elsewhere since then.
    I am having
    trouble trying to find even the character palette to
    try Fix option C
    Try Edit > Special Characters. Set View = Code Tables, Tab = Unicode, range = 00002700.
    ..Ive looked at raw source and read
    on the sent email Content-Transfer-Encoding:
    quoted-printable
    Content-Type: text/plain;
    charset=UTF-8;
    Is this
    charset correct ?
    If you are sending Rich Text, then your raw source will have two charset statements, one for the plain text copy and one for the html copy. The problem is caused when one is UTF-8 and one is ISO-8859-1. The fixes make them both UTF-8.

  • Does anyone know why I am getting a yellow question mark by my AS3 .swf?

    I developed a few Actionscript 3 animations in CS Flash 5 to use in Cp5.  Instead of the green ball icon in the upper right corner of the animation, I am getting a yellow question mark like I did when with my Actionscript 2 .swfs.  The reason I created new ones in AS3 was to avoid any conflict.  Hmmm
    The new ones I am trying to use are Moving Red Circle, Moving Red Rectangle, and Moving Exclamation Point.  The Green Ball items are from Cp5 Gallery.
    Thanks

    Ah...that explains why you would be seeing these icons.
    When Captivate's library opens, it goes through and checks the locations of the objects in the library to see if it still can connect to the source file locations.
    I would say the way to get around this would be to have the path to all source files replicated on each machine you work on.  So if you set up a C:/Projects directory with exactly the same folder structure on each PC you use, the path to source files should remain the same.  But I think trying to keep all the files in three machines always synced up will be more trouble than it's worth, personally.

  • I am resurrecting my old iMacG5 for my grandson. Appleworks has question mark in dock and does not load from bundled software on original installation discs. Can anyone help?

    I'm sorry no-one has answered you yet - I'm afraid I don't know the answer to the question: but I wanted to put into your mind that starting up with AppleWorks at this stage isn't a good idea. The program was 'end-of-lifed' years ago, it won't run on Lion, and some of the document types created in it - Databases in particular - cannot be opened at all by any other program whatever. Word Processing documents can be opened in Pages, and Spreadsheets in Numbers (with some reservations in both cases), but building up a collection of AppleWorks documents at this stage is going to lead to problems later on.
    It's difficult to know what to recommend for a PowerPC machine that would still be compatible with modern ones. An older version of Microsoft Office, perhaps, if you can find one which will run on PPC; but most of the modern Word Processors are Intel only. This is something you would need to investigate.

  • Installed new hard drive in imac and i get folder with question mark, put in OS install disk and it does nothing? All I have is wireless key board and mouse, is this a factor?

    Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.

  • I,m getting a flashing question mark in a folder on startup

    When i started up earlier i verified disk and it said i should restart and hold command and r and then repair disk using disk utility which i did and then restarted using the usual startup disk. Since then every time i turn my imac mid 2011 on 10.9.4 mavs on i get a flashing question mark in a folder. I have over 800 gb of movies id like to transfer to ext hard drive before i try anything else preferably...ive read online reinstalling the osx may wipe everything so i thought id ask the experts before trying anything else.

    OK, this is a little different then we started out trying to solve...the erasing of swap and other files has damaged the Mac OS X pretty seriously since we don't know all of what was removed.
    If you have the Seagate external drive and it has not been formatted, and you want it to be a Mac OS X drive, attach the Seagate, restart holding the Command and R keys, go to Utilities and open Disk Utility.  When that opens, select the Seagate from the drives shown in the left sidebar of the DU window.  In the main window, choose Partition from the buttons across the top, center of the window pane.  If you want more than one partition, select how many you want, or just keep the default of one.  Name the drive (partition), keep the default format as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and the default partition table as GUID.  Apply that to erase and format the Seagate drive.
    When that is finished, still using Disk Utility, select Restore as the function you want to do.  Now drag the internal drive (Macintosh HD, typically) to the Source box in the main window of DU, and drag the name you have given the Seagate external to the Destination box in the main window of DU.  Look things over to be sure you have done this correctly, the internal drive contents is the source material and the external drive is where you want to put it...what you are about to do is clone the internal drive to the external drive.  If all is correct, Restore.
    That will take some time since you have a lot of material to copy.  When it is done, you should have an exact copy of your internal drive and its contents, i.e., your movies.
    Now that you have an exact copy of your contents, you can do what you need to do with the internal drive, such as erase the drive and reinstall Lion or whatever you want to install.  After doing so you can copy your movies back if you want, but DO NOT do a restore as that will mess up the operating system.

  • Question Marks in Dock on users network profiles

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem where my user's network profiles have question marks in their docks.
    I am running OS 10.4.10 Server on a MacPro with 6 Intel iMacs all running 10.4.10. When I installed the iMacs I used CarbonCopyCloner so all the software is identical. The disk names are the same and all Applications are the same.
    When a user works on one of the iMacs and then moves to a different iMac they seem to loose the icons for their applications in the dock, when you click on the icon usually the application will launch and regenerate the icon. Somtimes and mostly with Indesign the icon will become an alias to a folder within the .app!
    This is strange behavior! And it does it on around 10 user logins!
    Has anyone got any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    David Lee

    I've had similar experiences to many here. Running Tiger server with Tiger clients. Everything was hunky-dory until 10.4.10 update came out. Then I experienced all types of strange dock problems. Not only would I get docks with question marks, some items would have an icon but it would be the wrong one and the bad icons didn't point to the original applications.
    This article shed some light on the subject:
    http://benkreeger.com/blog/2007/09/mac-os-x-10410-breaks-dock-app.html
    After reading this article and running some tests, I've given up on managing the dock from WGM.
    Here is what I did:
    Made the perfect dock. Then edited the plist with a plist editor and got rid of _CFURLAliasData key/string for each application. I then copied this edited plist to the User Template of all clients with ARD. I also copied it to the User Template on the server. Finally I wrote a script that replaced the dock plist with the "new and improved" dock for each user inside of the network homes directory.
    Since then, no ? ? ? in dock. No bad icons either. And when a new user is created they get a good dock as well.
    Hopefully Leopard won't find a way to mess this up.

  • Persistent Question Mark In Dock, How Can I Remove It?

    I deleted an app ensuring that all that app's files were deleted, using EasyFind.
    Where that app's icon existed in my dock, there now appears a question mark, and I cannot get rid of it. Anyone know how?

    HI,
    Delete this file from your Preferences folder.
    com.apple.dock.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. If the ? mark is still in the Dock, try dragging it off now.

  • Unified Communications Operations Manager 8.0: How can I get rid of exlamation marks in Service Level View?

    Hi all,
    In Operations Manager I open the Service Level View and there are 3 exclamation marks visible for some devices. I acknowledged all alerts & events and they are already cleared now, but I'd like to know if I can get rid of the exclamation marks in Service Level View too. Is this possible?
    Kind regards,

    I have a dumb basic question which is sort of related to your shambles comment, which I don't deny is true.
    I am confused about whether style.css files get affiliated with each separate HTML page or whether there is just one style.css file that is affiliated with all my HTML pages. If they are separate CSS files, how do I separate each style.css file?

  • Application moved error and question marks for dock app icons - related?

    i am reposting this in the Mac Pro forum in addition to the Mountain Lion forum as i have been posting various issues on the mac pro here and i have gotten great help in solving them. also i am hoping to put a finishing touch on my computer setup after having done a FRESH INSTALL of the OS on both my computers with a manual migration of data (no Library items) so as to try and resolve old issues. i hope the experts on the list do not mind this posting and/or can offer advice on this specific issue.
    i am getting the attached error this morning on my MacBookPro (Mountain Lion) and have gotten it before on my Mac Pro (Lion). i have had to do a fresh install of the OS and a manual migration of my data (no Library settings etc) due to slightly similar issues.
    does anyone know what this errror is saying has happened?
    i /did/ have an additional internal hard drive on the MAC PRO that Spotlight was indexing and which i had to take off of the Spotlight indexing functionality but this does not explain in any way (since there are no additional HD's on my macbookpro) why it just happened this morning on the macbookpro.
    is this related to an issue where there may be QUESTION MARKS (instead of an app icon) in the dock in some of my other software?? i have one of these on my MBP and one on my MacPro even after the fresh install.
    TIA

    The Dock stores Aliases to the actual Applications. When you get a question Mark, it is caused by a Bad Link. The Application may have changed versions, moved, or been deleted. There is nothing especially magical about this. You can remove a Bad Link by dragging the link off the Dock, or add a proper link by dragging the Application Icon onto the correct area of the Dock.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Customize the Dock
    Apple-installed Applications need to remain in the Applications folder so that they remain protected and can be updated properly. The Installer will attempt to add links that point to the current Applications in the Applications folder, but if you have a pre-existing Bad Alias your bad Alias will not be Trashed. This may give you either the "moved..." message, or the Question Mark Icon in the Dock, or a grayed-out Icon with a "prohibited sign" if you have added things not appropriate for this version of Mac OS X.
