My imovie had a question mark over it after updating and now imovie is gone.

After updating my imac the imovie icon had a question mark superimposed on it, after clicking on it it disappeared and now imove is gone, how do I retrieve it?

What did you update from and to and how old is the version of iMovie you have?
Sounds like the iMovie you have there is a PPC app which is no longer supported in Lion or Mountain Lion. If that is the case you will need to purchase a new version of the app.

Folder + Question Mark : Still there after zeroing and reinstalling.

My MacBook Pro decided it didn't want to boot yesterday after a crash due to low battery on start up. Tried resetting PRAM, ran disk repair (had a couple issues there), finally just zeroed the drive and reinstalled the OS (Tiger factory discs). After reinstalling, the computer is still giving me the folder + question mark icon. I can boot onto the CD just fine every time, it sees the drive and tells me there are no errors when repairing it (does seem to hang on the final 'mounting drive' stage though). Still can't boot into the OS though.
Hoping someone has an idea.
Thanks!

When you go to Disk Utility, is SMART verified? Have you run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test?
I had a similar problem with a PowerMac G4, and the cause was a failing hard drive. If you do manage to boot from your boot drive, download and run SMART Utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It is more critical than Disk Utility is, and can detect impending hard drive failure sooner. It could be your hard drive is headed south, especially if it is the original.
Good luck!

HT1660 i can't find my itunes, I had to add a new battery on laptop and now itunes is gone

I can't find my I-Tunes, I put in a new battery on laptop and now I-tunes is gone, I tried looking for .itl files and
it keeps bringing adobe up and says there are now files, i have over 2000 songs... where did they go?

Sounds like more than just the battery was changed.

HT203167 The My locked Folder app is missing! I had all of my important files in here and now they are gone where did the app go?

I had all of my important file in my locked folder and now the app is missing and it is no longer available on the App Store.

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Imovie source clips is missing, i had the videos on the last imported event and now they're gone? how do i recover this?

so i imported a few clips, i think i dragged them into imovie? i have forgotten by now because i did this a couple of weeks ago. these clips got into the "last import" in the event library. so without knowing that it would get lost somehow, i didn't put them anywhere else. i don't have a backup on another folder (because i thought it was save in the imovie folder) as it turned out, it is nowhere to be found now. there is no "last import" folder in the imovie events folder. and the yellow box that comes up when the cursor's on the warning sign says they're in the "new event" folder, but that's also nowhere to be found.
i am freaking out right now because it's a group project due this wednesday, i'm on the verge of crying.
is there anyway i can get these clips back?
i'm in the middle of scanning my trash with ulysoft data recovery. hopefully it's somewhere there.
i'm going crazy right now.
please help.

Glenyse - I went to my login id and password listed in Firefox and removed
the only ones there; they were associated with photoshop.com
I then entered photoshop.com in the URL and logged in as

Up came adoberevel.com . It showed Tony's Albums, telling me I was logged
in as Tony. But still no albums listed.
Same problem as earlier. Suggestions?
Thanks. Tony

When i updated my Iphone 4s to ios 7.0.2 suddenly wifi button disable after update and now its is now enabling. i have tried many times to restore, also tried with reset all setting from phone my whole date contents got erased but no solution over.

I need a solution over it. i have check on your cummunity people saying to keep the phone in refrigerator that will solve the WIFI problem. i hope apple are considering on the quwries of the people such a major case need to be sort out soon where all the data and contents are getting deleted from phone on the researt and also upgrading to the new IOS 7.0.2 or IOS 7.0.3 the WIFI buttopn is grayed (disabled). being on the global markets and such issues on upgrading then its better to be with the previos ios atleast it would work fine. even some times when i switch to HDR mode in cammera it crashes. some time it captures photo but when i try to view its total black dont even open on other phones or computers.
i kindly request you to go throuth the all the quesries and do revert on the same ASAP.

Apple guys are deleting posts. I have found my posts have been deleted. Apple should MUST let us downgrade at least to previous release from current which was working fine.

Question mark over Quicktime logo on some trailers

Hello there
Some time ago i have an issue with QT 7.0.4. The issue was about a conflict with java when i try to run java app, so someone on this foro reply me to downgrade to 7.0.3 and give me a link to an installer to do that.
The installer working great and the java app too, but when i try to see the movie trailers, some of them appear with a question mark over the QT logo and can't see the trailers.
Right now i have 7.0.3 because i don't want the issue back.
Anyone may suggest something, please ???

Ok, here some of the trailers:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thesentinel/trailer_small.html

But i want to give credits to QT, because only some of trailers (like all this) have the problem, not all of them.

Question Mark over system Preferences on Doc....

Hi, well I haven't had my mac long, and today I have a question mark over my system pref icon, and cannot access it. I can't even find it in the apps folder..?
Does anybody know how to fix this please?
I have looked and some people suggest a reinstall of OS, which is fine but I have no back ups yet as I haven't had it long and don't even know how to back it up! (Ex PC user...) would I lose all my photos etc in aperture...?
many thanks in advance

The question mark means it cannot find System Preferences, which apparently, you can't either.
Have you looked in the Trash to see if you may have accidentally moved it there?
There is also a program called Pacifist which will allow you to get individual items out of the installation disks.
Finally, an Archive and Install with the option to Preserve User and Network settings will save all of your data. However, I wouldn't trust anything. If your photos are important, burn them to a DVD and then do the archive and install.

Question mark over certain applications

Hello, today I realized that my iMac was acting strange when I clicked on a few applications that I have on the dock and instead of them opening they simply had a question mark hover over the. These applications are DVD player, photo booth, mail, and a few others. I believe this may be that someone, I suspect my cousin, deleted them accidentally. Is there a way of recovering these basic applications?
Thank you.

question mark over an item in the dock means that the original item can not be found because it was either moved or deleted. first check you main Applications folder. that's where those things should be by default. if they are not there they may have been moved, do a spotlight search for them. try it from all user accounts you have on the mac as sometimes people move the apps to the desktop or a place like that. also check the Trash on all accounts. if the apps are nowhere to be found you can reinstall them from the leopard install DVD using pacifist
http://www.charlessoft.com/
you'll have to install 10.5.7 combo update afterwards to bring those apps to their latest versions.

Why is there a question mark over a printer icon on my dock?

I have just installed a new printer on my computer. I also have another printer installed along with this one. I put this new printer's icon on my dock. Now my old printer icon is showing a question mark over it. I set my new printer to be the default printer. Didn't know if that was the problem, so reset the default printer to be my old printer, but icon stayed. Reset new printer to default and then turned on the old printer. Question mark still there. Set old printer to default and tuned on the old printer. Set old printer to scan to see if setting it up to use it would do something. Question mark still there. I am stumped. Anyone know why this is happening? It just bugs me that it won't go away.

Noticed in the print summary that the printer icon had a pause symbol over it even though there was no print job listed that could be deleted. Then got brilliant idea - took icon off of dock and dragged a new icon to dock - voila!! question mark gone!! Crazy. Anyway thanks for your thoughts as it led me to try this.

If you are running Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you are running Lion or later:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

Question mark over the Mail icon

What can I do if there is a question mark over the mail icon in dock... I can't open the Mail now. Thanks!

you can reinstall Mail using the leopard install DVD. insert the DVD and open it in finder. among other things you should see a folder called "optional installs". Open it and double-click on Optional Installs.mpkg. Follow the instructions. at the appropriate page you'll have to check the box for "Mail" on the list of software you want to install.
This will install Mail 3.0. To update it to the latest version of mail reinstall

IPhoto has a question mark over it. Wont open! Help?

iPhoto has a question mark over it. Wont open! It is completely inaccessible. How can i restore this to my computer and get my pics back?

iPhoto has a question mark over it.
You mean in the Dock? Then the Dock icon is no longer linked to the application.
Did you upgrade MacOS X, so iPhoto is no longer compatible?
If you moved or deleted iPhoto, reinstall it. It will depend on your iPhoto version and MacOS X version, how to reinstall.
If your profile signature ""OS X (10.6.8)" is still valid, reinstall iPhoto from your system install disks, if iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, or from your iLife install disks.
If you already upgraded to Yosemite, you can reinstall iPhoto from the App Store.

My imovie had a question mark over it after updating and now imovie is gone.
