?in blue box instead of images

Images within text not appearing on some websites. Only ? in blue box appears. Same thing in Chrome and Firefox.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Blue box instead of image?

Why is it that I sometimes get a blue box with a question mark rather than the image? I've tried closing the browser and reloading, to no avail.
Any suggestions? Thx!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

EPUB - GRAY BOXES Instead of Images

When exporting my epub book, I get gray boxes instead of images. Has anyone else run into this or know what to do to resolve this issue?
All the images are linked properly and InDesign is saying I don't have any errors. The only way I can get images to show up is ONLY if I select "Use Existing Image for Graphic Objects". But if I select this, I lose the cropping and orientation adjustments I've made in my inDesign file. I've even tried just copy and pasting an image into the document itself.
Needless to say I've spent way too long trying to figure this out and haven't made any progress...

If other people can export it fine but you can't, then I would suggest some troubleshooting of your InDesign install.
Have you tried rebuilding your preferences and then re-exporting?
Have you made sure you're not using any third-party plugins that automatically load with InDesign?
Assuming you've done those two tests and are still having a problem, then try it on a test account on your computer. Package the InDesign file and put it on a thumbdrive (or I guess you could just download the files from the link above) and then log out of your account on your computer, and log in again to a fresh new account with admin privileges. (If you haven't created one yet, you should do that first before logging out ... lol)
When you log in to the new account, all the apps are available to you but none of your other account's files or user settings. So open InDesign, download/copy over the packaged file, and open the layout and export. See if that makes any difference.
I have a short course on lynda.com on troubleshooting InDesign (just 10 short videos) that goes over these and other steps.

I randomly get black boxes instead of images when loading a webpage

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
Ever since I upgraded to the newest version of Firefox, I've been getting a lot of blacked out boxes instead of the actual images. When I right click "View Image", the image does show up, but I don't want to keep right clicking boxes just to see an image. I also checked to see if I might how blocked the image on AdBlock or on "Page Info", but nothing was marked.
The blacking out of images seems to happen randomly at different times. From different tabs opened, not all images are blacked out. On the same page, some images will be blacked out while some show up. Also, I've for the same web page, one day I'll open it up and everything is fine, but the next day I open up the same URL and the images are blacked out. It just seems so random.
I was thinking my internet speed could have something to do with it. The blacking out also happens more frequently when I have multiple tabs open or if the images are larger. However, I did not have this problem until I upgraded Firefox.

Blue boxes instead of pictures

When ever i go on a page in safari that has pictures, i only see half of them. The rest show up as blue boxes with a question mark. Anyone know what's up?

That's normal. It means that the server where those images are obtained is not functioning or the image links themselves are no longer correct or no longer active. Nothing you can do about it except report it to the site's webmaster.

F053 boxes instead of images on multiple websites.

At some point little icons or images became replaced with small boxes with a "F053" or "F0XX" where XX is a set of numbers on several websites, I cannot seem to get that fixed.
Image link: http://postimg.org/image/f7zp1wvnh/
Resetting firefox is LAST RESORT.
Thanks in advance.

Those missing icons are actually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can see by the little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click to toggle its value).
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Webcam shows gray box instead of image on a G455 using Ubuntu 10.10

I upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 and my webcam started going in and out showing a gray box, I updated my xorg and now the gray box is always there. If I right click where the image is supposed to be I can see a fragment of the image but nothing more and I hear a low ringing sound.
I had a similar issue with my media players(gray box not the low ringing sound), I fixed that by changing the video codecs.
I don't know how to do that with a webcam that's built in.
anyone know how to fix this or trouble shoot to be sure this is the actual problem?

updating camera drivers may help you to solve the issue.

I cannot get rid of an annoying blue box on an image link that displays from a hyperlink in my dbase

I have a hyperlink in my SQL database which displays from a recordset on my page. It has an image link which displays with a very annoying blue border around it.
Because it is not an image (as such), I cannot just select it and change the border to 0.
When I go to CSS, it just lets me set the border of the table it is presented in!!!
Can somebody point me in the right direction, Please!

Hi, this is the code I see in my view as an SQL statement calls for the link from the database:
<td height="37" align="center" style="padding: 5px;"><?php echo $row_rsProducts['Buy Now']; ?>
 <td height="37"id="ShopButton"align="center"style="padding: 5px;"> </td>
Don't know whether I am doing it right but this is where I have put the code in the head section, still not working and got the grey border.
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper #main #topbody table tr td {
 text-align: justify;
 font-size: 10px;
 color: #555;
 font-style: normal;

Grey Boxes Instead of Images

I have Adobe Reader 8. I am running MS Office 2007 also. When opening either web pages or pdf files some or all images are greyed out. Others viewing the same web pages or files see the images. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Last night I reinstalled Adobe and the problem seemed to have gone away. However, this is good to know in case the problem comes back. Thanks.

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.

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.

Blue box around image link

I seem to get this obnoxious blue box around all image links
I create in Dreamweaver cs3. Has anyone experienced this and if so
how do I get rid of that bugger

>I am very new to this, but the way I got round this
problem was to add
>border="0" after the height="xx" for that image.
That'll work but it requires border="0" to be individually
added to every
single <img> which is a link in every single page on
your site.
The method suggested by Alec is created just the once and
applies
automatically to every single <img> which is a link on
every page both now
and into the future i.e. nil maintenance.
I know which I prefer :-)

I get blue boxes with "?" marks in them instead of words

I have tried everything I have read about. If I go to the apple website and check out the Battery Recal page at the bottom, I get those blue boxes instead of words. Pages won't build correctly also.
I've removed the com.apple Safari from my user/preferences list and put it on my desktop. I have taken the Safari app. from my husbands computer. I have reinstalled Quicktime. I have run out of solutions.

Hello susie:
The blue boxes with "?" indicates that the page is not completely loading in a proper fashion.
Clear the Safari cache
Trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
Remove any Safari add-ons or "enhancers."
What sort of connection do you have to the Internet? Connections/ISP problems could also be a root cause of your problem.
This is a general troubleshooting article - some of which may be relevant:

Question marks in blue boxes

Hi. I'm having a hard time with images not loading in Mail and Safari -- getting question marks in blue boxes instead. I have tried emptying cache, refreshing page, checking and rechecking my settings, can't even download the image manually. Still no luck. Mac OS 10.4.7, Safari 2.0.4, Airport, cable connection (Comcast). Please help, as many of these images are important for me to see.
Thanks so much.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) using Airport

Hi crawfordse6, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
For Safari:
Preferences / Appearance / Check on "Display Images when page opens."
For Mail:
Preferences / Viewing / Check on "Display remote images in HTML messages."
If that works for you, consider stars as discussed in the bottome portion of the Apple email notification you received. That's how to do "thanks" in these forums.
Come back. The Forums are a great place to learn. L&L = Lurk & Learn.

Blue box around link wont go away

Im using DW cs3 and trying to redo a website. I have
everything in place, but when I add a link to an animated gif in
center of my page, it adds a blue border around the image. How can
I turn this off?
I have a nav column on left side of page will rollover
effects and there is no blue box around those images.
If thats not bad enough, I also have an animated gif above my
nav column, and when I add a link to it, It gets a blue box as well
and expands my nav table. I havent experienced this with older DW.
Any ideas on what Im doing or not doing right?
*****Disregard. Finally figured out you have to put a 0 in
for border. I dont remember ever having to put that in before. I
may just be getting old.

Hi David - I thought he might want borders on some other

Blue boxes and frequent crashes--and no plugins

I'm another one who has been experiencing frequent Safari crashes and blue boxes instead of photos on certain pages.
I've read the voluminous posts and responses and still can't find one that solves my problem. I have checked the Library -->Internet Plug-Ins and there is no Java plug-in there.
However in Safari under Help-->Installed Plug-Ins, the Java Plug in for Cocoa is listed there.
I have not downloaded or installed any add-ons for Safari.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please help!
Message was edited by: charliechaplin

Did you run the Java 4 update that was available via Software Update? That should have put it into <you boot volume>/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and not into <you boot volume>/Users/<your username>/Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Give that a look see. If you don't have it, then manually download and install it, repair permissions, and restart. Retry Safari. If no go, download and reinstall Safari and repeat the other steps.
