PDF icons suddenly have a yellow triangle with an "!"...

suddenly my pdfs have a yellow triangle with an "!" in it as the default icon in the Finder (running 10.5.8). if I choose Get Info and change the default "Open with..." application from Preview to Adobe Acrobat, it's fine, the icon shows up as an Adobe Acrobat icon, but if I change the default program back to Preview the yellow triangle comes back. this was not the case a few days ago. not sure what I did to make this happen.

Yam--
First question: is all your software up to date? (better yet--has it been updated recently?)

Restarted my Mac and a white screen appeared, remained, and a yellow triangle with an explanation point stating Start up disk full- Help!!!!

I updated a couple days ago to OS x Maverick, everything on my Mac was working fine after update. But, Than today When I went to do stuff on my Mac it was frozen. So, I turned it off. When i turned it back on, the apple icon was on the screen and you can see that it was loading, but after several seconds it went to a white/grayish screen and a yellow triangle with an explanation mark popped up with a warning saying that "startup disk is full" i clicked okay and the warning went away but the white screen remained. I did do a Command R and pulled up the utility disk where I did repair disk, and than permission to repair, but it did not work. I think i need to erase some files and so forth, but I cant get past the white screen and into the desktop in order to do get to files to delete. Please help!
Thank you

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

My ipod will not stay connected to my computer. When first plugged into the usb port, I can see it as a drive. Within seconds it disappears. If I look in the devices area, I can see it but it has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point beside it.

When I connect my ipod to a usb port on my computer, I can see it in my computer as a drive for a few seconds and then it disappears. It can be seen under devices but as a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it. If I run trouble shoot, it states windows is disconnecting this device.
I can see it in itunes as a device. However, this is a brand new computer, running windows 7. My last one bit the dust in mid use. I want to save the songs on my ipod and to do that I believe I need to be able to see the files on the ipod.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great Troubleshooting on your own so far!. (If you got 2 PC and 2 iPod would be much easier, some of the people in this community has more than 2 of each.)
Hope you did not connect it to a USB Hub, the sync cable must be plug in directly to a USB2 port at the back of the Desktop Computer.
If you have a spare Notebook, with iTunes, connect it to the Notebook, to check if the iPod is working or hung.
Can you iPod run and play songs, when disconnected from the PC? (Sorry, for just asking the obvious)
Anyway, just hard reset your iPod, so that we can start from scratch
1. if your iPod is hung, reset it by pressing Menu and Center button for at least 10 secs till the Apple logo, comes on. (this won't delete your songs in the iPod, if they are not corrupted))
2. Connect it back to your Notebook or Desktop.
if your iPod screen is dead, try charging the battery by connecting it to another computer. if it doesn't connect to successfully to another computer, it may need servicing.
Good luck!

The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages: "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency conditio

The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:
"Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency condition."
OR
Extension Status is not consistent with extension set configuration."
The reason I opened the Extension Manager in the first place was to check to see if I had installed a third party extension. And I was presented with these warning symbols. I haven't added anything, I haven't done anything that would cause this.
Does anyone know how to fix this???
I am running OSX 10.9.5; Indesign CS6 version 8.0.2 And Adobe Extension Manager version 6.0.8.28.
Thanks in advance!
Nina

Many InDesign pre-installed extensions (Those extensions you have immediately after InDesign installation) define dependency rules in their mxi files. Dependency means that one extension works well only if one or more other extensions are installed and enabled. If this condition is not met, the yellow triangle warning will be shown.
You can select an extension with warning, click "Advanced" tag page in the lower right panel. You will see "This extension has dependency on: <extension name> ...". Check whether every extensions listed here are available and enabled. If not, enable them. Repeat these steps for all the extensions which have warning.

Yellow triangle with exclamation mark under iPod Properties - Hardware

I am not able to see my iPod shuffle icon on itunes. When I viewed iPod properties - hardware, I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and it says, "USB Mass Storage Device". What does this mean and how can I fix it? Also, device status: Windows in uninstalling this device. (Code 21)

Since you use Windows XP, see if this document and procedure related to the iPod's drive letter is applicable.

Portal content not transporting. Yellow triangle with exclamation shows.

Hi,
I cannot move 2 new folders and 10 iViews from my DEV portal to my QC portal. When I try, the package shows up in QC, but when I look at the package, a yellow triangle with a exclamation point inside shows to the immediate left of the items to move. And if I select any one of the objects to get properties, I get the errror "Failed to get Property Editor! null". Further, I cannot create the folders manually on QC, because it get an error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/admin.templates/iviews/editors/com.sap.portal.defaultFolderWizard
Component Name : com.sap.portal.admin.defaultwizards.DefaultFolderWizard
SQLException is not transient, error code = 1, sql state = 23000 ORA-00001: unique constraint (SAPEP2DB.SYS_C00123629) violated .
Exception id: 12:08_16/03/07_0005_6336351
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
One of the iViews is built from a custom PAR. When I first attempted to import this package, the PAR did not exist. I have since loaded the PAR.
It seems that the folders exist "somewhere" in the portal, but I cannot see them in the "content admin" mode.
What can I do to resolve this?
Thank you for any help!
Kevin

This has been solved. I noticed that other portal developers could see the content without error. As it turns, what I had to do was refresh cache on the server, and clear my browser cache. Once I did this, everything appeared as normal.
Thanks for the help.

Internet Explorer "yellow triangle with an exclamation mark"

Hi Guys,
I have an ADF project that consists of one jspx screen for the menu and a region on the right that host the JSFF screens (basically your menu selection).
Now each time that I minimize the Internet Explorer window to do something on my PC (ex: check emails, work on a document, …..), and I come back to the ADF screen (let’s say after 1 hour or more) I see on some of the component (ex: af:commandButto or af:commandToolbarButton or ….) a “yellow triangle with an exclamation mark”, this does not restrict you from using these components, but to get rid of that exclamation mark, you need to close the screen and open it again.
Does anyone have any idea, what can cause this and how to solve it??????? Or at least point me in the right direction on how to debug it????????????
Note that JDev console log does not report any warning or error message.
JDev 11.1.1.6
Internet Explorer version 8
Thanks,
Alain.

Yellow Triangle with ! in it???????

I have a video from this computer that I recorded with this computer onto my iMovie about one year ago. I wanted to watch it again but it won't play. On all of the scenes there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation in the middle of it. What does that mean and what can I do to be able to watch it again? I try and export it to quick time and just onto my computer but it says wither Error -3000 or Error -2900. What does this mean??? Help!

It means you have either moved, disconnected (from an external drive), or renamed the clips that you used in your project last year.

Why is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to a pic in a photo book?

Why is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to a pic in an iPhoto book? What does it mean? Pic was emailed from an iPhone.

the photo is low resolution - less that 180 DPI - you can ignore if you choose but Apple will not stand behind the quality of the printing for that photo - it may be fuzzy or even unacceptable to you - or may not be - I have printed photos with a LowRes warning and been ok with the results
What is the size of the photo (pixels) and the size of the frame you placed it in (inches) - divide the pixel dimensions by inches and you have DPI (Dots Per Inch)

Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

I've been trying to link my apple id to my macbook. every time i try this it doesn't work and gives me a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in. any help on the matter would be great.

so everytime i try and link my apple id to my macbook (mid 07) it doesnt work and i get the yellow triangle. i recently reset my mac as i forgot my password. in the process i made another user to reset my password. doing this i went through the complete start up of a macbook (from when you buy from new). i dont know if this has anything to do with this problem. but i have now deleted that user.
any help is much appriciated.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

TS1368 Yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and the message "This iphone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started. .

I HAVE SYNCED MY IPHONE 4 MANY TIMES SUCCESSFULLY. TODAY WHILE TRYING TO SYNCE MY PHONE, I HAVE AN ERROR MESSAGE WITH A YELLOW TRIANGLE THAT STATES "This iphone cannot be used because the Apple Mobil Device service is not started.
Can i get some help please?
Thanks,
Brian

I'd start with the following document with that one:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

Yellow triangle with "!", red and green lines

why is this showing up on parts of my clip?

this is the range check feature showing if you have legal luma levels (green check) or illegal levels (yellow !)
try searching the PDF manual with the term "range check" to get a greater understanding of the feature and how it can help you (as well as how to disable and enable it)
