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!

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!

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.

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.

What are those darn little blue boxes with

question marks? How do I get rid of them.
Thanks

I just means the image could not be loaded. Maybe the server the image hosted is down, the URL to the image is not correct, or the browser timed out trying to load the image.
Only thing you can do about it is notify the webmaster and they will hopefully look into it.

Upgraded to ios6 on my iphone 3gs and email is not displaying images. It has a blue box with a blue question mark inside

I just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 3gs and I noticed on a couple of incoming emails that the images and information are not being displayed. There is a blue square box with a blue question mark inside. I already tried to press the home key and power key to restart. The email still does not display correctly. I went on my laptop to retrieve that same email and I was able to see the graphics and information, so the problem is on the iphone. I received two emails like this, so I'm missing all the important information. I also tried to retrieve my email through the internet browser and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I have an Ipad 2 also and I can view the email information on there also. I received an email from Party city and it said to click here to print out the coupon. So I click the coupon and there is the little blue box with the question mark. This is the first time I've seen this happen, as I have printed out the coupons before. Maybe it has to do with the IOS6 update, because this just started to happen right after the update.

Iphone 3g S viewing email pics are showing as blue boxes with question mark

I am trying to view an e-mail on my iphone 3g S and the pics are not displaying. Instead little blue boxes with question marks are showing. Any ideas on why this is happening?

The pictures couldn't be loaded due to one or more reasons. Some common reasons are: your email server timed out, the photo was taking too long to load, you had poor signal strength, the file was corrupted, the download failed, or the photo couldn't be displayed because the file type wasn't supported.

Blue boxes with question mark

Hello, sometimes when I open up mail messages or web pages I get little blue boxes with question marks where there should be images? What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks!!

I have the same problem. I tried refreshing the email but it doesn't work. I'm able to see the images on my iPhone. Maybe my internet connection is causing it. It began happening a month ago but I haven't changed anything with my internet nor notice any difference in anything else I do internet wise.

I want to watch a video from a site and all I see is a little blue box

Why is it that when I'm on a site that has some video to watch (i.e. news)...all I see is a little-biddy blue box with a question mark on it where the video should be? I tap and tap but no video...what is that little blue box with a question mark on it...is my video being blocked.
And while I'm on it...sometimes I'm on a site and I tap the "link" but it doesn't open the link up...just kinda refreshes the page and goes back to where I was...like it didn't open up at all...no extra page, no nut'n.
Just curious,
Thanks

Seems like I do wait for the page to fully load but sometimes these sites have "auto-refresh" on and that may bug it up a bit...but I do remember zooming in and tapping with a good tap and all it does is refresh the page I was already on. Not a biggy since I can eventually check it on my desktop later, but was curious if I was the only one having this problem. Thanks so much.

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
That did not happen before.
It happened only on certain pages with Safari, like the google news feed which did not display pix.
However, this new mail problem is really disturbing.
I checked Little Snitch and port 80 is open.
I checked java pref.
I am at a loss.
PLEASE HELP!

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
That indicates that your Mail preferences are setup to not display remote images in email messages. You should check Mail->Preferences->Viewing and make surre the box to 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is checked.
I checked java pref.
Java has nothing to do with Mail, or displaying images in it or any browser.

Mail has blue boxes with question marks

I have a new MacBook Pro. In mail when I receive anything with images, I just see blue boxes with question marks. Yes, i have tried reloading Mail, I have tried clicking on and off from Display remote Images, I have checked all my preferences and it just won't work.
How can i fix this - there must bean answer.
I am running Mail 5.2...it doesn't do this on my son's machine which is the same. OS 10.7.4

Hello Linc,
I'm not one to normally thread jack a post, but I am having the exact same issues, i found your posts while trying to solve the problem. Like tmack101, when I boot into safe mode the images load correctly, so something is loading up at startup thats causing the issue. I am very PC proficient, but am still new to OS X. I will post my results below to your terminal commands:

Blue boxes with question marks

I am trying to use a site that is my WEbsite host and when I navigate to that site I get all of these little blue boxes wiht quesiton marks and it is usually the items like .. "click here"places that are inportant.
I have tried to use IE and the same thing happens.
The site I am trying to use is WWW.Brandblast.com
I have contacted them and they have given me all the assistance they can. This may appear to be an issue with Safari in Osx. I have seen a few threads about this and am unable to make those suggested fixes work for me. I have checked the security settings. I have checked other options in the set up of Safari. I have emptied the cache. I need to be able to navigate on this website.
Any help or ideas?
Help me!

Jennifer, Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
That site, as David says, should work fine.
I see that you're brand new here,
so try these for starters, OK?
1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
2. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
3. You might want to check all three "auto" preferences in Safari. Sometimes those lists gets very long and need pruning. (I turned all autofill boxes off, and have no problems.)
4. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.
If you're still having problems:
5. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
Hope this helps
