IPhoto in dock shows only question mark...

The iPhoto application in my dock shows a question mark, but I cannot reinstall iphoto.  It can't be found on my hard drive. Help!  My iphoto libraries exist, but cannot be opened.  How or where can I get my application back and re-install it?  It came pre-installed when I bought this Mac.

Did you check the Trash?
Do you have any iLife Discs? Did you look on the Original Install Disc(s) for Optional Installs?
The icons in the Dock are aliases, & the question mark means it doesn't exist where that points to.

  • Hi Forum, can u please help? iRecently bought a mac pro & my garageband 11 was working fine but now it's showing a question mark in the dock but it won't open. I think it may have been accidentally trashed. I've searched the trash & spotlighted. What now?

    How  did you install GarageBand on your Mac? Did it come preinstalled with the other iLife applications?
    If your MacOS supports the AppStore, you should be able to redownload GarageBand from the AppStore, see this support Article: OS X: About OS X Recovery on how to download again:
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

  • Dock icons now question marks

    I just got the new iMac today and transfered my data from my old imac to this one via Firewire. Now all my dock icons are question marks. How do I update them?

    I just tried something. I printed a page from my printer; printer icon showed up in dock.  I quickly right clicked on the icon and selected Options/Keep in Dock.  Now my icons are back.

  • I have a Quicksilver twin 800 mhz and use 4.11. My volumes show a question mark(?) on upper right corner. What is going on ?

    I have a Quicksilver twin 800 mhz and use 4.11.
    My volumes show a question mark(?) on upper right corner.
    What is going on ?

    One other thought: does the question mark go away when you open a folder?
    I am beginning to suspect that maybe just right-clicking the Finder window's toolbar and selecting "Customize Toolbar" and then seeing if you can drag the question mark off the tool bar, like there is some phantom item that the Finder can't resolve.
    A puzzle.  It definitely has something to do with the Finder toolbar, though.  I'm pretty sure of that at this point.
    EDIT:  OK, I recreated the situation.  You can drag an AppleScript to the toolbar so it will always be available.  However, if that AppleScript file goes away, what's left is the dreaded question mark.  The solution is to just drag the question mark off the toolbar while having the "Customize Toolbar" pane open as instructed above.
    Well, I learn something new today, and it's only 52 minutes into the day.  My work here is done.
    Now you see it:
    Now you don't:
    Actually, you can just right-click on the question mark and select "Remove Item" and it should be gone.

  • HT5312 how do i open my mac, iam trying to open it but its only showing a question mark

    how do i opem my mac, am trying to open it but its only showing a question mark

    The question mark can mean several things. One the drive is failng, or has failed, or your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
    Try booting while holding down the Option key. If the drive is available, it should show up in the Startup Manager window.

  • Imac wont boot only shows flashing question mark folder (long)

    Imac 21.5 late 2009 with no upgrades.
    Had previously turned on bootcamp inadvertently without installing Windows OS. On shutdown accidently picked start Windown on next startup and since has only shown flashing question mark.
    Tried to boot to single user mode, safe mode or verbose mode without success.
    Could not find orginal OS disk that came with computer so used OS disk from a 13' Macbook pro (mid 2009). Would boot to OS installer but got error when it tried to install. Was able to get past this and use Disk Utility and did repair permisions and repair disk without change in result.
    Tried rest PRAM and NVRAM without success.
    Then found that the OS disk from the Macbook was a different build and finally found OSX installation disk that came with computer and will boot to MAC OSX installer. Did repair disk permision and repair disk without change.
    Reloaded OSX without change.
    With disk in will boot to single user or verbose mode but I dont know enough to know what to fix from there. I am assuming somehow boot files have become corrupt.
    Any help? Thanks

    I didn't read your complete post however by the subject line alone it appears your computer cannot locate it's startup volume per: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
    The easiest way to remedy that is to restart while holding down the C key on your keyboard. After the computer has restarted then go to System Preferences - Startup Disk and choose the internal HD and then click restart to test.

  • IPhoto icon changed to a question mark in my launch pad...

    Hi All,
    I used to have an iPhoto icon in my launch pad in order to pull up my pictures/movies.  Where I used to have the "regular" iPhoto icon, I now have a question mark and when I click on it, nothing happens.  I tried to use finder to find my iPhoto library, but nothing came up.  Any advice?  Thanks, LN

    It is incredible that your iPhoto application should have vanished completely. Try one more search with the Finder and ensore that it really searches everywhere:
    Select "Computer" in the Finder's sidebar, or the system drive, if you only have one drive.
    Enter iPhoto in the search field and press "+" to add a rule "kind is Application",
    Can you post a screenshot please, of what you see in yur "Pictures" folder? Also select one of the thumbnails of your photos and use the command "File > Get info". What information can you see about your files?
