I'm getting a question mark over my systems preferences icon

hello all,
I'm getting a question mark over my systems preferences icon and now I can't open it or my time capsule icon. I uninstalled a program and after that I started to experience this problem. Any idea what is going on and how I can solve the problem.
Thanks in advance

Check inside your Applications folder and see if you can find your System Preferences Application. If you can see there try and open it. If it works then drag it to the dock creating a new alias and remove the question mark. If you do not see System Preferences in the Applications folder then it may have been moved or even deleted. Try searching for it. If you find it move it back to the Applications folder.

  • Question Mark over system Preferences on Doc....

    Hi, well I haven't had my mac long, and today I have a question mark over my system pref icon, and cannot access it. I can't even find it in the apps folder..?
    Does anybody know how to fix this please?
    I have looked and some people suggest a reinstall of OS, which is fine but I have no back ups yet as I haven't had it long and don't even know how to back it up! (Ex PC user...) would I lose all my photos etc in aperture...?
    many thanks in advance

    The question mark means it cannot find System Preferences, which apparently, you can't either.
    Have you looked in the Trash to see if you may have accidentally moved it there?
    There is also a program called Pacifist which will allow you to get individual items out of the installation disks.
    Finally, an Archive and Install with the option to Preserve User and Network settings will save all of your data. However, I wouldn't trust anything. If your photos are important, burn them to a DVD and then do the archive and install.

  • QuickTime 7.3.1, I get the question mark?

    Hello everybody in the forum.
    I have a problem with browsers when I see the trailers of the movies page apple, I get the question mark over QuickTime.
    Help Please
    Greetings!

    I struggled with this issue for a while. One of my false successes was re-installing Flash Player which worked until I closed my browser and reopened it.
    For some reason apple removed the option in the MIME settings to disable Flash Media. I think they were looking to remove the option since QuickTime wont play Flash Media. However, I looked at my com.apple.quicktime.plugin.plist in the Plist Editor that comes with Developer and discovered that the Shockwave Flash was set to "true." So, when upgrading to 7.3 somehow it not only kept my old prefs, but it enabled that option (which I never enabled) in my prefs, which is no longer an option in the User Interface Prefs. So I tried changing it to "False" but when I opened a browser session and went to a page with Flash Media, QuickTime changed it back to "True." I tried deleting the file and QuickTime recreated it with the same settings. I later found out deleting the com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist and the QuickTime Preferences files and rebooting would fix the problem. One of these files was causing the recreation of the com.apple.quicktime.plugin.plist file. Deleteing all three of these files should fix the problem.
    Location:
    Users/<your user name here>/Library/Prefernces/
    com.apple.quicktime.plugin.plist
    com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
    QuickTime Preferences
    trash these and reboot
    *QuickTime will recreate uncorrupted prefs on first launch
    You could also compile this in Script Editor and run it (it targets and deletes the files and reboots your machine) Script editor is in Applications/AppleScript/.
    Copy text below:
    PLEASE NOTE:
    This script was created to simply remove the preferences associated with the QuickTime Plugin and QuickTime Player to remove the pesky QT question mark and restore Flash playback in browsers. It is intended to fix the problem on PPC machines where when updating to QuickTime 7.3 it carries over bad and/or corrupts the preference files associated with QuickTime. These preferences will be recreated on reboot. **You need to be logged into a user account with administrative access in order to use this script**

  • Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.

    My Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.  I've tried Option key, and Control S keys and it still will not boop up.  Can anyone help?

    If you are running Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

  • IPhoto has a question mark over it. Wont open! Help?

    iPhoto has a question mark over it. Wont open! It is completely inaccessible. How can i restore this to my computer and get my pics back?

    iPhoto has a question mark over it.
    You mean in the Dock?  Then the Dock icon is no longer linked to the application.
    Did you upgrade MacOS X, so iPhoto is no longer compatible?
    If you moved or deleted iPhoto, reinstall it. It will depend on your iPhoto version and MacOS X version, how to reinstall.
    If your profile signature ""OS X (10.6.8)" is still valid, reinstall iPhoto from your system install disks, if iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, or from your iLife install disks.
    If you already upgraded to Yosemite, you can reinstall iPhoto from the App Store.

  • Bought new iworks suite this summer - can't open numbers...has a faded question mark over the icon

    I bought new updated iworks suite this summer.  I've opened and used pages, but when I tried to open the icon on Numbers on my dock it will not open.  I only get options" and then can remove from dock.  there is a faded question mark over the numbers icon.  any help would be appreciated.  thanks, K

    Where are the applications stored on your HD ?
    Keynote.app, Numbers.app and Pages.app must be located
    in the folder Applications:iWork '09
    What you see in the Dock are symbolic links (kind of aliases) to the applications.
    It seems that for some reason the link between the Numbers symbolic link and the app is broken.
    (1) check the locations of the applications and if they aren't in the correct ones, repair this oddity.
    (2) If needed, uncheck the local menu item : Dock > Numbers > Options > Keep in the Dock
    then drag the icon to the Desktop. You will get the Poof icon saying that the symlink is destroyed.
    (3) Double click the Numbers.app icon to run the app.
    (4) Now you will be able to check the local menu item : Dock > Numbers > Options > Keep in the Dock
    so that the Numbers icon will remain in the dock when you quit the app.

  • Question mark over Quicktime logo in Safari - MacBook

    Hi,
    I have a black macbook on which FCP studio is installed and therefore QT Pro.
    While browsing in Safari, (Latest 10.4.7 and Safari updates) and trying to access a link which plays streaming Qt's or just plain ones, I receive a Question mark over the Quicktime logo in place of the movie.
    When right clicking the link and saving target, it downloads the movie and opens it in quicktime ok.
    What the **** is going on.
    On my G5 no problems to access these exact same links...
    Pretty annoying I would say
    ThanX
    Jean michel

    Yeah, this is very common right now. Problem is not with Quicktime, but with the Shockwave plug-in in Safari. it is not yet native to intel-based Macs so it will not activate properly as is.
    Unfortunately, there is nothing yet to update to, so you can either live with it as is or run Safari in Rosetta mode which will slow it down slightly, but give you all the web content properly.
    Try this:
    Quit Safari
    Go to the Safari icon in Applications
    Ctrl-click the icon
    Go to "Get Info"
    Click the box next to "Open using Rosetta"
    Open Safari
    This will solve the problem until an Intel-compliant Shockwave plug-in comes out.

  • TS3048 I have just purchased a new apple cordless keyboard.  The numeric line of keys along the top are not functioning as they should.  For example I am unable to get a question mark or a forward slash.  I have tried holding down both shift and alt keys.

    I have just purchased a new apple cordless keyboard.  The numeric line of keys along the top are not functioning as they should.  For example I am unable to get a question mark or a forward slash.  I have tried holding down both shift and alt keys.

    Thanks for prompt response - I tried what you suggested but I'm afraid it has not helped.  It seems as though the line of number keys along the top aren't actually doing what is printed on them.  Some are OK, but the further towards the right hand side of the keyboard you go, the less predicatable it becomes.  So whilst the second key from the left gives me 1 and ! when holding the shift key, by the time I get to the 6 when I press and hold shift I get ^ rather than & symbol which is what is actually printed on the key.  The & symbol is actually on the next key along - and when I hit the key with 8 I get * rather than the ( which is printed on they key but actually located on the next key along.  Things get even more muddled by the time I am over on the right hand side as rather than a question mark (I have had to type the word as I cannot find the symbol anywhere!) I get this _ and the other symbol marked on the key is a comma, but I get - instead.  It is going to drive me mad if every time I want to type something it is a guessing game....!  What do you suggest - question mark

  • PhotoBooth Has a Question Mark Over the Icon in the Dock

    I'm trying to fix my bosses daughters MacAir. Her brother was playing around with PhotoBooth and now you can't even open it. The icon in the dock has a question mark over it and when I go into her applications and double click on PhotoBooth nothing happens. It looks like it loads but really it's just a quick half second thing and nothing happens. No PhotoBooth options show up on the top either, it just doesn't load at all.
    How can I get her PhotoBooth back working? She has Mac OS X Version 10.5.5 and all possible updates are installed.
    Any help would be appreciated...

    Perform a custom install from the Mac OS X 10.5 disks and install only that component if possible; if not, use Pacifist to install it. In either case, rerun the combo updater for your Mac OS X version afterwards.

  • Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, formatted it first. Have tried starting it with every possible key and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor.

    Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, used sata adapter cable to format it for mac first. Connected it and have tried starting it with every possible key combination and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor. A disk is stuck in it so I can't boot from OSX, and yes I have tried every option of starting to try and eject disk but none work. HELP ME!

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
    If you have a 2010 MBP or later, then you can use Internet Recovery. Start by rebooting the computer. At the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys until a Globe appears in the upper part of the screen. This process can take upwards of 15 minutes to get connected to the Apple network servers. You should eventually see the utility screen of the Recovery HD. You may now go about the process to install Mountain Lion:
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Banners are not displaying on a website. I get a question mark instead. Only since i updated to firefox 5 about ten minutes ago. Any ideas?

    I just updated my firefox browser to firefox 5. Since then a website that i am in the process of creating, has stopped displaying banners. Instead of the advert i was expecting i get a question mark in the top left corner.

    Adbock Plus is a Firefox extension, not part of Firefox, you don't have it.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
    I see two banners and they are not blocked (they are legitimate)
    "The High Street for your Desk Top" and "It's Time to go shopping"
    I see the question mark now you refer to, in IE is see
    [Like] [f] 12 likes. Sign up to see what your friends like.
    Which is something to do with FaceBook. Appears in IE9, Google Chrome, Safari, all show the Facebook thing. Opera fails big time nothing but a repeated large button (>) with an arrow.
    Might be the CSS code.

  • Can't play quicktime trailers, keep getting a question mark?

    My mac started acting very strange 2 days ago. I can't play any trailers, the box opens and instead of the trailer playing, I get a question mark. this never happened. Please help

    I dont know if its aloud to talk about modding quicktime but this worked for me.
    1) Duplicate your quicktime and call the copy "Quicktime_Backup" (in case something goes wrong or when a new update comes out).
    2) On the original file, right click, show content and navigate to "Content/Resources/"
    3) delete all language-folders except the english one (example: Dutch.Iproj).
    4) restart Quicktime and safari, and you will be able to watch the HD trailers now.
    Note: Movies like the Small, Medium and large still wont play but then you maybe need to do the same with safari so you can play the movies within safari but im not sure about that.

  • My iphoto has a transparent question mark over it and will not open. How do I fix this?

    My iphoto on my imac will not open. It has a transparent question mark over it...how do I fix it?

    Is the question mark on the Dock at the bottom of your screen? Then it means that the Dock can't find the application.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
