How to fix/delete ? ? marks when folders opened? (see image).

These ? marks are now present on all folders.
This seems to be a feature of 10.7 Lion as I have never seen it before with Leopard on my MacBook and have just recently upgraded.
On clicking the ?mark, sometimes a filename (of a jpeg) is shown briefly below. Perhaps the ?mark indicates finder is searching for a file and been unable to find it (though spotlight can). File may be a renamed/moved file perhaps. May involve previously using photoshop elements.
Baffled! Please educate me about these ? marks. Please help me to get rid of them!
Thanks Tim.

The system has lost track of what was there. Could be because the original item was deleted and the link in the toolbar no longer points to anything.
Hold down the command key and drag them out of the toolbar.
If it was something you wanted there, replace it with the original by dragging it into the toolbar. There's nothing there in the default toolbar.

How to fix "Error -42408" when I open up my library?

About a month ago I updated my iTunes to the newest update and ever since then everytime I click into the program the error message "-42408" appears. It hasn't bothered me because I have access to all of my music so I never paid much attention to it. I've tried googling it but I can't seem to find anything that could help me.
I just recently purchased a 4th gen iTouch for my boyfriend for Christmas and that's where my problem started. I bought it new off of Amazon and was planning on putting the music onto the device before I gave it to him that way he could use it immediately. Itunes lets me put some music onto the itouch which I can see on the computer, the music displayed on the screen is written in a faded color and the program will not let me click on it. Another issue is that when my laptop shows me that the music is all synced up onto the itouch I go to see if it is actually on the device which promptly tells me that there is no music currently stored on it. Now, I'm not sure if the two correlate or not but I was thinking that maybe this error message has something to do with the itouch not loading music.
I've had multiple ipods and itouch over the years on various computers and haven't really had any issues from what I can remember. I am extremely bad with technology and I'm hoping that I've missed something obvious that is easily fixable. (Don't we all?) I'm starting to become extremely frustrated and confused with the whole situation and have no idea what I should do or how I would go about fixing this.....please help!?! Thank you!

What is the exact wording of the erorr message and are you getting it when downloading the music from the iTunes Store or when you try to sync it over to the Nano?

Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when i open them?

Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when I open them?
I used my time machine back up from my old expired power mac and uploaded the contents onto my new iMac.
All of the files uploaded successfully as far as I can see (except the old programs don't work and the consequently all those files are cactus :-( )however when I opened iPhoto only a few photos (500) where in some of the folders.
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon. They down loaded successfully into the correct folders and the thumbprints are visible. When I click on an individual photo the enlarged picture appears for an instant and then an explanation mark in a triangle appears in its place.
The original 500 pics actual worked... now after days of mucking around and with lots of advice I have doubled the number of 'photos' to 50000!!! Ahh,,,, and still the exclamation mark appears
Is there anyway out of this predicament??

This went wrong here:
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.

How can i delete Record when i click on Delete Link.

Manoj,
If something does not work then you should report back on the same thread so that there is continuity to the whole episode. Be as lucid as you can be so that people know whats the scenario. E.g. is not working is not enough. What happens? Does is show error , go blank, goes to another page... all that is important.
Its for posterity, down the line others will also visit the thread (may be).
Regards,

Hi Roam.
Message understood.
I managed to delete me and substitute her as Administrator. Thanks.
you ask what machine I am now using, I am a Windows man, currently using XP Pro SP3 and have been for 10 years. A friend from the Education Dept gave me a phased out Mac with OS X in an endeavor to convert me.
At first I was very impressed but as time went on I found that the Mac was not as user friendly as I had thought. The terminology was foreign to me, and where Windows placed thing automatically into place, with Mac I had to physically pick up and re-locate programs.
But what really turned me off was that nearly every thing that I wanted to do I had to go to the net and try and find drivers or whatever to overcome my problems.
A point in question, I purchased an external USB dual layer DVD burner. When connected to XP, it was recognized instantly and within a few minutes I as up and going. With the Mac, it is not even recognized let alone getting it to work!
And then there are all the other little things like printing. In windows every thing from every page I can print, Ctrl + P. With the Mac, I am still trying to find out how to print a page from the Help menu.
Enough said. My daughter is interested and that is all that counts. Let her work it all out, she is smarter (an younger) than me.
Regards

When I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots. how do I turn off this view?

when I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots. how do I turn off this view? i've used photoshop for years and never encountered this. i looked at the histogram for some means of turning it off, but no luck. help

The issue I think is connected to the colour profile, and the 8,16, or 32 bit image mode option. In the past, my images have come from lightroom as 16 bit files and I've never had any issues. I guess I'm not very adept at the file handling aspect of this program. I shoot in RAW and like to play around with my photos, then print them. I was under the impression I should be using the srgb colour selection not RGB, but then I've read I should change it to RBG once I'm ready to save the file to print. I also changed my files over the 8 bit from 16 once I saved the after using photoshop.

I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package? Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images. That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space. As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

This is generally a Lion error.. and you will need 5.6 utility to get access to the disk area.
So download the real utility. Run it instead of v6 toy version.

Go to the manual setup, disk page and click on disconnect all users.. that will unmount all users connected to the disk and allow it to start working. But there are a number of other issues that are possible cause. Pondini lists some of them.

Camera raw filter keeps adding sharpening when I open the image

camera raw filter keeps adding sharpening when I open the image although there are no presets and all sharpening sliders set to zero- this doesn't happen with the same set up on my imac- Ps cc 2014 osx 10.9.5- can anyone help me turn this off, I've reloaded and update the Ps cc 2014

Thanks for the reply - the problem isn't with ACR itself but the new Camera Raw filter available in photoshop CC 2014 in the filters selection, this doesn't seem to include the workflow options that you get at the bottom of the normal ACR window- it's a really handy filter for quick final adjustments but on my Macbook keeps adding sharpening even when the sliders are at zero. Is there a workflow option menu for this filter ? Something strange going on somewhere- thanks again for the reply , Tom
