My Audio occasionally moves itself and then yellow exclamation point comes up?

When I work on my IMovie sometimes and I'm scrolling to get back to the start, it would all lag and freeze for a few seconds, then when it stops all my audio has moved to different places and my video clips have changed length. Recently now, yellow exclamation points have been coming up on my audio leaving me unable to play them. If you have any solution it would be very helpful.

Katy, you are completely doing things in the wrong order. You can't burn songs if you can't even play them, and iTunes can't play them if it can't find them.
The exclamation point normally occurs if the song file, or one of its containing folders, has been moved, renamed or deleted. So if you encounter a track with an exclamation point, don't do anything else until you find the file. It is usually somewhere else on your hard drive, or else in the Recycle bin. Failing both of those, get it from your most recent backup.
After your restore it, make sure it can play. If it can play you can put it into a playlist. Then you can burn the playlist.

I renamed the folder with all iphoto pictures and now an exclamation point comes up when i click on them in iphoto.. how do i fix this?

I don't remember the original name. Please help

do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library (that preference has been unchecked)?
Where did you change this folder name - in the iPhoto library using the finder (if so you have made a very bad error and unless you can restore it from a backup or change it to exactly what it was you will have to start over from your original photos - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any other program) -- or is it a folder in iPhoto under the albums sedtion (that does not affect yoru photos)
We need to know exactly what you did

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Iphone 5 turns off by itself and then turns on

iphone 5 turns off by itself and then turns on

Mine it's the same! Did you solve this already? Right before it turns off, it has a fade away screen or shows stripes! Then automatically turns back on! Now this problem happens more often!
I've reboot the iphone and restore it but still does the same.
How can I resolve this please?
Thanks!

You should really be asking this question in MacBook Pro: Notebooks: Apple Support Communities
because this sounds like a overheating problem and we're the Mac Pro (desktop workstation) forum.

Why does my ipod turn off by itself and then turn back on after up grading to ios 7

why does my ipod turn off by itself and then back on after upgrading to ios 7

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I just recently up graded from AI CS6 to AI CC and I am having issues with my pen tool. If I create a starting point and then make another point it does not allow me to make the second point an end point. The pen tool stays active and I either have to click to isolate the path or I have to return to the first point and close the path. Please help.

artisttouch,
If you cannot close the Pen Tool by switching to another tool, as a temporary measure you may try pressing P (for Pen).
To solve it, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Yes... a search of the forums would have prevented asking that question.

Yellow Exclamation Point! HELP

Every time I go to Safari it kicks me off after 30 seconds and has the yellow exclamation point pop up and say Error Relaunch. I've sent the report to Apple too. Help Please!!!!!

I do not use any
• .mp3
• audio direct from iTunes
I do
.mp3 -
• convert to .aiff 44.1kHz or 48kHz 16-bit (works greatly)
iTunes -
• Collect needed audio into a New PlayList
• Burn it out as a Standard Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
• use the files from this CD in my movie project's
Works also great

The HP 4215 icon shows a Yellow exclamation point across it. .

I am helping my Aunt. She purchased a new HP Pavilion, Windows 7, to replace her Pavilion HP XP. Her printer, an HP 4215 that worked with her HP 4215 All in One that worked with her previous Pavilion, is not being recognized by the new HP Pavilion. The HP 4215 icon shows a Yellow exclamation point across it. The Universal Print Driver is not seeing it. How do I get it to recognize this printer, which was working fine with Windows XP?

Hi again,
On the PC, down along the bottom by the clock, is there an icon that looks like a printer. If so, hover over it with the mouse and see if it shows documents pending or printer offline. If it does, then double click on the printer to open the dialogue box. Click on "Printer" and see if there is a check mark on "printer ... offline". If so, then click on the check mark to remove it and it should move your printer to online.
See if this helps.
Say Thanks by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you. Please mark the post that solves your problem as Accepted Solution.

Yellow Exclamation Point (Caution) Icon?

When I burn a cd, the cd icon that should pop up pops up as a yellow exclamation point Icon. The cd works. Also, one of my programs on my computer has turned from its normal icon to this one. The program still opens. What's going on? Similarily, when I put in an audio cd, the same Icon appears, but the cd works. Again, no disc icon, but a Yellow Triangle icon.

Hi Tom,
By right clicking on the exclamation mark and going to RELINK I got all the missing files retrieved and that has been sorted. The only thing now is that as I have marked around the area with a square shape, that logo/marking is there which I sense is something to do with the sound but I right clicked on that and also retrieved three missing sound files and got them retrieved, however, the sign is still there.

Exclamation point comes up when trying to open pic thumbnail. Can't open movies.

When I try to enlarge a pic a fuzzy exclamation point comes up. Also, I can't open any movies in Iphoto. What's up with that?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or lter:
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 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. .

TD

When I click on a picture it appears momentarily then an exclamation point within a triangle appears.

When I click on a picture it appears momentarily then an exclamation point within a triangle appears in place of the picture. How do I get the picture to show?

what version of iPhoto?
This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
this can be caused by two things
1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2 or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database
