Ibook suddenly marks photos with yellow exclamation mark

Hi,
I have created several photo albums and had them published. I have always chosen my photos carefully to avoid the yellow exclamation mark. One of my projects was started several months ago and left untouched for a long time. When I went back to the project more than 50% of the photos were now marked with exclamation marks. Then I looked at books that I have finished and had published, and they too have exclamation marks on some photos. I went to a local Apple Store and the "geniuses" were stumped. Any ideas on what may have caused this spontaneous mutation...and how I can fix it?
Thanks
PS Changing the size of the book project does not seem to make a difference

Hi Maliha,
I followed your instruction to execute the exe file under C:\Drivers. After that, I rebooted the system and no more error pop up for the missing audio device. I checked the Device Manager and the Audio Device on High Definition Audion Bus disappeared and the SoundMax was shown. But again, still no sound. I clicked on TroubleShooting on that SoundMax and followed that instruction. I found out the default Sound device was erroneously pointed to BlueTooth. I made the change to SoundMax and voila ... the sweet ding sound came back.
That was a wonderful feeling to be able to fix this nagging problem that my company HelpDesk could not help me. All thank to this forum and particular Maliha. Again, my appreciation to the valuable help.

T61 - No sound - Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with yellow exclamation mark

Hi,
I am not sure when it started but suddenly my T61 has no audio/sound. I checked the Device Manager and did see the Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with yellow (big) question mark with yellow exclamation mark superimposed on it. I downloaded, from Lenovo Support site, the 7ka114ww.exe , hoping to fix it by un-install that device, reboot it, and re-install using the download exe file, but to no avail.
Any suggestion or help is really appreciated. Many thanks in advance
PS. I also see the Base System Device pop up after a reboot and ask to be installed ?!? That pop-up had been there for a while before the audio/sound was lost.
Solved!

Pop up error message with yellow exclamation point disappears too fast cannot read it

I am getting a pop up error message with a yellow triangle and yellow exclamation point in Safari but it immediately disappears after it appears. This happens so fast that I cannot read the error message. A java applet for my bank's website is not running properly and knowing what the error message is might help solve the problem. Help please.

Since upgrading to Mac OS X Mountain Lion with the latest security updates, this annoying problem has disappeared.

Little green man with yellow exclamation point

Woke up this morning, my Droid X was off. Pressed the power button and got a little green man with a yellow exclamation point in a triangle above his head. Thought this meant I had to charge phone so I plugged it in. Four hours later, still with the little man. This is my only phone so I really need to get this resolved as quickly as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

That is the screen that puts you into "maintenance" mode, for lack of another term. Power it off, if you can. Or just do a BATTERY PULL and repower up. If it is "stuck" on that screen after the battery pull, there is a menu of options that you can get into from that screen. Just press the SEARCH button (far right bottom button) ... that will bring up a menu of options. You scroll through the options using the volume controls ... and to SELECT an option from that menu, use the Camera button. (One of the options is a factory reset ... which should be the very last option you want to do of course if nothing else works.)
You're charging from a wall outlet, right? and not the USB PC charger.

C410a PhotoSmart Printer All Of A Sudden Prints Photos With Reddish Hue

Have not been able to get a definitive solution for this problem. Print cartridges are new and full, print heads aligned and clean. Test printouts are perfect. All non-photo related color printing is great. Only photos are printing with a soft reddish hue to them. Photos printed in normal settings on normal everyday copy paper look pretty close to the monitor, but everything goes reddish when using photo settings "best" or "maximum dpi" on the 4x6 glossy photo paper or the 8.5x11 matte finish paper.
This must be the mystery of the ages because I have never seen any solutions offered beyond the usual cartridge tool management stuff. This is definitely something else that may have changed with the W7 upgrade or Nero upgrade.

I've heard of people having a similar type of problem when printing photos from Photoshop, and in both cases it ended up being a problem with their Photoshop settings, and not the printer itself.

App Catalog ERROR "The action could not be completed. Try again later" Yellow exclamation mark

Hello, I have problem with access to App Catalog, when i try to access to App Catalog it's give error "The action could not be completed. Try again later" with yellow exclamation mark. I tried to make partial erase, I made full erase, I made Secure erase, but all these steps not helps.
I renew my firmware with latest webOSDoctor, but still nothing. Then I changed my Palm Profile, I create new one, but still NOT WORKING!
I checked all connections 3G and Wi-Fi, everything is ok, but App Catalog still not working.

Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Unlocked NA)

Honestly saying, the problem I had already a week, I tried to solve it on their own, but all my attempts were unsuccessful, I am sure that this problem is not related to what some of my actions, cause I never made any manipulations with phone.
I really appreciate the attention rendered by the support services, I just need that everything works fine.
I am sure that this is some sort of a strange problems, I have long been searching for an answer in the Internet came on similar way problems have other users.
I received today a update notice for App Catalog, I saw that HP Palm updated App Catalog, I updated my App Catalog, check again, but still nothing changed, same problem "The action could not be completed. Try again later" with yellow exclamation mark.
So, I will wait for a few days, will see what's happening.

We want to upgrade the WLC software but want to make sure it’s the issue.

Okay... well at least its not the WLC code or AP tht is an issue. RLDP whould only be used on monitor mode access points, When used with access points that serve clients, the AP when detecting a rogue, will drop all associated clients. The AP's will do rogue detection anyways, so no need enable RLDP.

Why is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to a pic in a photo book?

Why is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to a pic in an iPhoto book? What does it mean? Pic was emailed from an iPhone.

the photo is low resolution - less that 180 DPI - you can ignore if you choose but Apple will not stand behind the quality of the printing for that photo - it may be fuzzy or even unacceptable to you - or may not be - I have printed photos with a LowRes warning and been ok with the results
What is the size of the photo (pixels) and the size of the frame you placed it in (inches) - divide the pixel dimensions by inches and you have DPI (Dots Per Inch)

When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

I have hundreds of photos on my computer but when I try to click on them it shows a grey box with an exclamation mark. How do I get the program to let me edit and use the photos?

I have hundreds of photos on my computer but when I click on the photo all that comes up is a gray screen with with an exclamation mark.
These are the last photos ever taken of my husband and I need to know how to recover them properly.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Why when I click on a photo in iPhoto do I get a yield sign with an exclamation mark in it?

The ! is an indication that the link or file path to the original file has been broken. Try the following:
make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Organising photos with exclamation marks

it would be great to find an answer to this question. I have missing photos for a few years now on my iphoto and i have thousands of photos. I would like to delete the thumbnails that show up with the exclamation marks as they are in the way now when I want to use my photos as a slideshow or screen saver. is there a way of sorting the photos so I can delete them in one batch instead of going through them one by one?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
If that fails:
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, 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.

Missing photo with exclamation mark in triangle

Hi,
I've been reading the posts in the discussion and I am thoroughly confused. Here is my problem. My MacBook Pro died. I replaced it with a new one and restored it through TimeMachine last January. I was having problems with my new computer and Apple agreed to replace my harddrive. I made sure to backup my computer with TimeMachine before having the hard drive replaced. I restored the computer with TimeMachine and some of my most recent photos taken on my iPhone (not all) have thumbnails present, but when I click on them I get an image with an exclamation mark inside of a triange. Trying to export the image fails. That is I tried to use iPhoto to make a FaceBook album, which it did, but on Facebook it says there are no photos in the Album. I did a search of one of the images (IMG_1900) and found three other images with that name from photos taken from years ago from a different camera. It seems my iPhoto Library is very confused. Before the replacement of the Hard Drive, the photos were present and working in iPhoto. That is I could view them on the computer in their full original form. I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto Library, but this had no effect on the problem. I recently upgraded my iPhoto to 9.2.3 version. Current OS is 10.7.4
Anyone have suggestions on how I might fix this/these problems would be very much appreciated.

I happened upon this thread when I encountered the same problem. In another forum string, I found the solution that worked for me:
Highlight the thumbnail in your iPhoto window. Select File>Reveal in Finder>Original File. Double-click on that original file when it comes up in the finder. Mine opens in Preview. In Preview, select File>Export. I exported to my desktop with a new name, and then I was able to drag the image from my desktop back into Photoshop.
This solution worked great for me.

Internet Explorer "yellow triangle with an exclamation mark"

Hi Guys,
I have an ADF project that consists of one jspx screen for the menu and a region on the right that host the JSFF screens (basically your menu selection).
Now each time that I minimize the Internet Explorer window to do something on my PC (ex: check emails, work on a document, …..), and I come back to the ADF screen (let’s say after 1 hour or more) I see on some of the component (ex: af:commandButto or af:commandToolbarButton or ….) a “yellow triangle with an exclamation mark”, this does not restrict you from using these components, but to get rid of that exclamation mark, you need to close the screen and open it again.
Does anyone have any idea, what can cause this and how to solve it??????? Or at least point me in the right direction on how to debug it????????????
Note that JDev console log does not report any warning or error message.
JDev 11.1.1.6
Internet Explorer version 8
Thanks,
Alain.
