Images appearing as little blue box with a question mark

Hi, I have Safari version 3.1.1 and in the last two weeks, I've been missing data and having in it's place a small little blue box with a question mark show up in Safari and in some of my mail downloads too.
Can anyone assist
Thanks
Tony
p.s. I have started a new topic because the other string relating to this topic is showing as solved with cause being devleopers.

I have exactly the same problem with safari and mail but firefox works fine. If i go to a website that requires flash in safari it will say i need to install flash 8 to view the stuff even though i have flash 9 installed. I thought it might have been a problem with flash and thought about uninstalling and reinstalling but because firefox works fine it would seem to be a safari problem. This only started happening with the latest quicktime update to, and i've tried downgrading back to an older version but my pro-apps require the latest version to run.
I did the same updates on my macbook but didn't encounter the same problems,although i lost audio playback on avi's in quicktime which i have since fixed with perian.

  • I keep getting the little blue box with the question mark

    Hi
    I have 10.6.7 system software and my safari is 5.0.4
    I have called apple twice with this problem already but nothing has helped except for short times.
    I have reset safari about one dozen times and when I do I reset the top 7 items and I've emptied the cache in addition just in case. I've also taken my safari preference plist out of my library and trashed it.
    And I've run disk utilities many times and restarted my computer. Each thing I do will solve the problem for a short time, even up to a day or more (or less) but then it comes back. For instance on Facebook maybe 1/8th of the thumbnail images have the little blue boxes with the question marks but most don't. I can't figure it out. Sometimes even the iPAD safari gets them too but my firefox doesn't show them and neither does Safari on my eMac.
    Yesterday the question marks even showed up in ONE mailing on all 3 computers with the question marks in the blue boxes (meaning my iMac, my eMac and my iPad) but then it just all resolved after a few hours. This does sound like possibly a server problem except today it's happening (in Safari again) only on this iMac in Safari (not firefox) and not on the other two devices.
    One more thing, since they changed my radio on the roof for my wireless internet, the 5.8 phone cuts out the internet when I use it. The problem has gotten worse since they changed the radio to the same frequency as the phone, it's a much faster service than the 2.4 radio. I don't know if this is related or not.
    Thank you,
    Martha

    <Contact your ISP.
    Is it possible, Carolyn, that this would mainly and almost always be only affecting the iMac and Safari in the iMac if it were a server issue? Right now Safari has more blue boxes with question marks than ever and the eMac and iPad have none. Firefox on the iMac has none also.
    I should try a direct connection and by pass the router and see if that makes a difference.
    I will contact them tomorrow but I want to get clear in my head first all the facts and possibilities.
    Thanks!

  • Why is my mac missing certain fonts and not displaying some pictures, is just a little blue box with a question mark in it?

    When I open documents it always comes up with warnings that I am missing fonts and some cannot be replaced.
    Also now I am noticing that some pictures are now missing and are replaced by a small blue box with a question mark in the middle. Can anyone
    tell me what is going on and how I can fix this?
    Confused and frustrated,
    Amanda

    Do you get a dialog box if you control click the missing image.

  • I keep getting an intermittent error on web pages where a blue box with a question mark appears instead of pictures.  For example Facebook and Zappos would load normally on one visit, but if I visit other websites and return I get the blue box.

    I keep getting an intermittent error on web pages where a blue box with a question mark appears instead of pictures.  For example Facebook and Zappos would load normally on one visit, but if I visit other websites and return I get the blue box instead of pictures. If I restart the problem will go away temporarly. However, normally returnes in time.

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Appearance tab. Tick the box next to: Display images when the page opens.
    If that box is already ticked, from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems loading images, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
    If you still have problems, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • When I open an email there is a small blue box with a question mark instead of the picture. How do I change my settings so the pictures show up?

    I'm not able to view pictures in gmail. Where the picture should be is a outline and a small blue square in the middle with a question mark. How do I fix that so I can see my pictures?

    Try going to Mail/Preferences, Viewing, make sure display remote images in HTML messages box is checked.

  • Blue Box with White Question Mark

    All of a sudden, I started receiving the Blue Box with a White Question Mark in my Safari Internet. I test the site with two other browsers and the behavior was the same. I have not plug-ins recently installed and did clean my cache. Any suggestions? Running Mavericks. I ran an Adobe Flash update yesterday, but the behavior is affected today. I reset Safar after runnign Disk Utility<Repair Disk Permissions.

    Where precisely do you see the "?"

  • Safari Image turns to Tiny Blue Box with Question Mark

    Hi all,
    I get tiny blue question mark a lot in Safari.
    Many Website where i visit almost everyday, the images appear as "tiny blue box with question marks". My Firefox also fails to load the images and had the same problem with "tiny blue box with question marks". Before every site work fine. I have been searching through Google and many others search for almost 12 hrs for a solution to solve this problem but none of it really works out. Basically, I have tried everything, I just can't find and still not able to fix this issue in Safari and Firefox.
    Is this a Safari 3.0.4/Firefox 2.0.0.9 problem, or is there some setting on my Mac wrong or is it a new virus recently?
    If anyone has any solution to solve this problem, an very much appreciated...

    Hi guys, I am also in Bangkok and working (I use the term loosely) with True. Like you, the images have not been loading over the weekend and I have been trying to track this down. I went through all the motions of restarting, clearing caches, etc., but that was no good.
    On Saturday morning, I went into my office where I have access to another network (I don't usually use it as it is a bit flaky), but when I tried that, the images did load.
    Back at home, I tried again and the blue squares reappeared. I checked some of my own web pages which also had the squares, but only selectively (images in the same directory were OK; those that were accessed via internal links were not). Using FTP I checked the website: images were all OK as were the links on the pages themselves.
    As an experiment, I uploaded one image. When I tried the page again, the image appeared. I then uploaded both of the affected directories and the pages were back to normal after a couple of reloads. What this indicates to me is that the cache, either at True or upstream, has a problem.
    I do think however that it is True as the other server I used would also access the CAT caches and they seemed OK.
    A series of notes to the True helpdesk might jolt them into some action on Monday morning after they have had their starter coffee. I have had some success in the past with [email protected]
    All the best.

  • Why is there a little blue square box with the question mark in the middle of the place where my pictures are suppose to be??

    I don't know why sometimes my pictures show up, and other times I get the little blue square with the question mark. Mostly it does that in gmail.
    Can someone tell me what setting I need to use? I already reset Safari. Couldn't figure out what else to do.

    Do you get a dialog box if you control click the missing image.

  • Little blue box with "?" inside

    when I open my mail messages, in my iPhone, that usually have such items as the senders logo or a photo of an item in their newsletter, instead of seeing those items all I see is a little blue square with a question mark inside of it. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I might go about correcting it.

  • Images on certain websites come up blank with little blue box with white "?" inside

    I own a MacBook Pro (MAC OS X 10.6.8) that I purchased in 2011. I have never had a single problem before, but here very recently youtube, my school (FSU) website, and a few other random websites will not load images. At all. They just show a little blue box with a white question mark inside. I have tried emptying the catch, resetting safari, nothing works. Help? I need to be able to see the images on my.fsu.edu it's really important!

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display.  There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark.  How can I go back to attached images?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display.  There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark.  Double clicking on the box will open the image in a separate window.  It's very slow and tedious for multiple images.  How can I go back to attached and displayed  images?  If I click on "Forward", the images appear instantly in the email to be forwarded.

    Scott,
    My problem seemed to fix itself.  Or, by shutting down the computer one night, instead of putting it to sleep, may have reset something.  Since updating to Mavericks, I always (or usually) let the computer sleep overnight or anytime I'm walking away from it.  A few days ago, I was updating notes for my kids about how to find all my stuff and how to turn on my computer, so I wanted to rewrite the start-up procedures for the iMac, just in case they ever need to.  Well, I shut it down one night so the following morning, I could write down each step.  Lo and behold, the images, etc. are all there again!  Solved, but I'm not sure why.

    Hi, I have an iMac which I just booted up and have a white screen with a blue folder with a question mark blinking on and off. Any help would be appreciated. Tommy

    That means your iMac could not find a system to use for startup.  That may mean the internal hard drive has become faulty, or the hard drive mechanism is fine, but the startup volume ("Macintosh HD" unless you renamed it) may have some type of data corruption that makes it unbootable.
    First, you should try resetting PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    and if that does not help, use this procedure to reset SMC (power management).  If your iMac is from 2008, this is the procedure for Intel (not PowerPC) Macs.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    (This forum category is for "iMac (PPC)," so if this iMac is older (with a PowerPC processor), please post back.)
    Disconnect all peripheral devices.  When you connect it back to power, if you have been using a power strip of some type, try connecting it directly to a wall outlet, by itself (at least initially).  Start up with nothing but the power cord connected, then add only standard mouse and keyboard.  If it works, run it that way for a while. 
    If PRAM and SMC reset have no effect, you should insert your Mac OS X installation disc (for the currently installed system) in the optical drive, and restart with the C key held down.  This should get you to the Installer screen, where you can run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 
    In Disk Utility, does the internal hard drive appear in the sidebar?  If so, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab.  Use Repair Disk.  If an error is found, note if Disk Utility was able to fix it or not.
    You can then quit Disk Utility and attempt to restart normally.

  • Why do some of my emails have blue squares with a question mark instead of a picture or bar code?

    Why do some of my emails have blue squares with a question mark instead of a picture or bar code?

    No app installed that will view the pics and bar codes.  
    Which email client are you using?  Which version? 
    File suffix of the pics & bar codes?  Example:  .pic, .bmp, .jpg, etc.
