My new rMBP 13" inch has a exclamation point on the wifi signal, even though i can browse just fine.
Not a major issue,but still one i'd like to solve if possible
Just some background on the machine, i bought it only today, though its a mid 2014 model.
2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 512GB model.
I don't know what to think, is this a software issue with Yosemite (10.10.1) or a hardware (wifi-card) issue.
Thanks in advance for your answers
The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

My macbook air will not connect to the internet. There is an exclamation point in the wifi icon and when i go into preferences i see that it is setting its own IP address. I have a macbookpro that is able to connect with no issue. HELP
Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install. -

The user forums are having intermittent problems with screenshots and some links not being visible when they are posted as part of a message.
Could you please try posting the link to the Wi-Fi Troubleshooting Guide one more time?

I am having a hard time viewing some of my pictures or event file in my iPhoto library. Most of my pictures look blank with a black background and a triangle with an exclamation point in the center of the screen. Is there a way I can fix this issue?
Are they RAW image files and not JPG files? iPhoto does not support all types of RAW files. Get a Real Image Viewing/Editing/Cataloging program which iPhoto is not.

All CD's that I burned for my library have an iCloud icon with an explanation point next to the song. If I right click it prompts me that 'This Item was not added to the iCloud because an error occurred. Some of my purchases have no cloud icon next to them at all and they play fine. Numerous purchases have 2 of the same songs listed..one has the cloud with the explanation point and the other has the cloud with a down arrow for downloading from the cloud. What I am having to do is delete the ones with the explanation point and then download the one with the arrow. It's taking forever. Then I still have to go back and re-burn my CD's and then back them up in iTunes Match. Any ideas of what's going on? and how to get this all done faster? Getting really frustrated!
Thanks
ringerman50i noticed this as a bug in iTunes. make sure the correct file is selected in the preferences menus. It does not have to be the default location directiory as Vazandrew stated. your iTunes music library can be anywhere you want it. i have mine on an external cuz i'm a dj and have over 80,000 songs.
once you select/verify the location of your music library, simply drag the folder into the left panel in iTunes from a finder window. iTunes does not automatically add the items like it use to for some reason. -
I can't access a purchased song; it has an exclamation point next to it...
I can't access one of the four songs I just purchased. It has an exclamation point between the list number and the check mark.
Help?
Thanks,
BethThe usual reason for missing files is that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
When you get things fixed make a backup.

After logging in, the Apps tab has removed Lightroom 5 from my Installed Apps - even though I have it installed. The Find New Apps section prompts me to install Lightroom - but if I do that, what happens to my existing catalogues?
See this Apple Best Practices Guide, about half way down the page:
Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4: Installation best practices - Apple Support
It gives the recommend procedure.

I have changed to AT&T U-verse, which has a new modem and router combined. Safari 5.1.10 will not recognize the wifi signal, but Foxfire will. What settings do I need to change on Safari?
Hello SalsburgD
The first thing I would check is to make sure that the router is using the recommended settings to get online. Another troubleshooting step is to create a new Network Location and then join your network to see if that changes things.

I am using iPhoto 9 to make a book. The cover of my new book looks perfect on screen, but when print it out before I have it published the cropping is all off. There is also a red exclamation point on the cover image. I have checked and rechecked but to no avail. Can you help? Bill Perlmutter
That red exclamation point can mean either that the image on the cover is below the resolution limit that Apple has set for photos to make good prints or that there is missing text in a text box or there's some text that has overflowed the text box.
The resolution limit that is set in iPhoto for photos is 110 dpi, i.e. the PrintWarningImageDPI value in this screenshot of iPhoto's preference file:
Click to view full size
It's not an absolute thing. Many have reported getting books that had photos with the low resolution warning indicator and it was perfectly satisfactory.
But check to see if it's an image or text warning.

Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them. When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears. Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand. I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file. I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild. Any Help?! Any Suggestions on how to fix this?! I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database -- if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

Need to put an exclamation point at the start of each cell in a long column
Hello
I'm new to spreadsheets and need to do this task asap. Hope someone can tell me how to do it.
I could go down the column and type an exclamation in before each number, but for 400 cells but I'd rather not.
Thanks for any help
Dave LIf these "numbers" are to be used in formulas, though, you'll have to do this a different way. You will create a custom format that puts an exclamation point in front of the numbers as you see them on the screen but doesn't actually change the contents of the cells (so they remain as numbers).
Go to the cell inspector (the "42" tab in the inspector).
Click on "Cell Format" and choose "Custom".
Type an exclamation point at the left of the existing format. To do this, click on the existing format, hit the left arrow, then type the exclamation point. You may also want to add in a "decimals" format on the right if your numbers are not whole numbers. Give the format a name. Click "OK".
Choose the rest of your column and apply the cell format to it (select the entire column, go into the cell inspector, and choose whatever you named the format you made). -
With my new iPhone 6 Plus. Connectinge 6 Plus. Connecting Bluetooth to my Prius bluetooth has been successful.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

I am unable to connect to my Wi-Fi at home, but am able to connect at work. Using my new iPad 4G with cellular and a Motorola SBG6580. My iPad 3G Wi-Fi only connects just fine; the 4G just "spins the gear."
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
