Question mark after restart

A week ago, my macbook just froze...I had to restart via the power button... since than I can't start the os x, naimly I have a question mark flashing on the screen. I have already done the following:
1. Hold the option key after turning on the machine- result, only "efl boot" icon appears as an option...I have  selected it, did no good after 10 min. of waiting, except showing me a gray screen with nothing else on it...the got the same result after three tries.
2. Hold "option", "command", "P", "R" buttons when restarting- result, the machine restarts allmost immediately, I release the keys, the white screen, the apple appear and the little circle starts to load... it's still loading after 15 min :-(
I have a mac os x install DVD 10.5.6 at home, but it's the one that I've used on my imac... I don't have the original dvd/cd that came with my macbook...Can I use the one I have from my imac for re-install on the mac book and how?

Time for a reinstall:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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. Now restart normally.
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. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Can not get past blinking question mark after restarting in os 9

    I have a ibook g3 clamshell 576mb ram 366mhz 30gb hd. I added the hard drive and upgraded the memory and then forgot to update the firmware before I installed os x tiger. So I keep getting kernal panics because the firmware is not upgraded. Like a fool when I upgraded to tiger I erased os 9 to free up more space thinking I would never use os 9 ever again anyway. Well the only way you can upgrade the firmware is to have os 9 installed so I copied os 9 system folder and applications from another ibook and transformed them to my ibook hd. I then clicked on the os 9 on the start up disk and tried to boot into os 9 so I could do the firmware update. Well now it will not boot past the blinking question mark. I guess there must of been some missing files? How do i get past the blinking question mark? Do I have to go and buy a copy of os 9 to reinstall it back on the ibook? Please help I am stuck here.

    Don't think anyone will like the answer but this is how I did it. You have to put a os x cd in restart holding c and then follow through with the install. I used os x 10.0.3 then you have to do the same with a os 9 install disc and initialize disk image and then do the os 9 install download your firmware update and then reinstall the mac os x you are going to use. And for anybody out there a ibook g3 with an old airport card can connect to wep all you have to do is add a $ before your password works everytime. Hope this helps somebody. My only problem is after a downloaded the firmware update thats a .smi file evrytime I try to open it it says no application could open it. I thought .smi were self mounting image files. I never have used os 9 much and have no idea how to open this file. Can anybody give me a walk through on how to select a application to open this file so I can mount and install this firmware update.

  • Why are my dock applications turning into question marks after restarting my macbook pro?

    So i have had my new MBP with retina display for a few weeks now, and everytime I shutdown or restart the computer, I have a bunch of question marks in my dock instead of my application icons. The question marks still show the name of the application under them, and after I click them they turn back into the proper icon. I noticed that they are only applications I have installed myself off the internet. It never happens to the applcations that came with my macbook, or apps from the mac app store. I have not moved the location of the applications i installed, so i dont know why the computer is having trouble displaying the icons. I am new to the mac operating system and am wondering if I may not have installed these applications properly. The apps that are constatly turning into question marks include Bittorent, VLC Player, PS3 Media Server, Air VIdeo Server, and the Dolphin gamecube emulator. I have looked all over the internet but i cannot find a solution. Please Help!

    When they go grey, it means that they have lost the location of the application that they represent.
    If you put your mouse over each one, it will tell you what application it is that it has lost.
    Go to wherever you have that application stored, usually the applications folder, and drag the icon of the application down into the dock. A new icon is created for you.
    Repeat with the other two grey icons in the dock.
    To remove the grey icons, left click and hold while you drag the icon out of the dock and onto the desktop. Release the mouse button and the icon will disappear in a puff of smoke.

    in response to Niel
    Thanks for the reply, held command+R again and it is trying to pick up WiFi, but it's not picking up my network and won't accept the password even when I try to put it in manually. Any thoughts on that?
    Me too had tried the command+R and failed to manually connect to my network. Can anyone help?

    Well, it was solved. I shifted to other place and tried other WIFis. One of the WiFi had the 2002f problem and another was fine, so the reinstall worked smoothly eventually.
    On the apple support page it says that Supported network configurations and protocols includs both WPA/WPA2, not matter what they are, but it might not be true.

  • Question marks after every sentence in Mail

    I use to use Entourage as my default mail program on my Mac. This year I switched over to Mail and also switched my internet provider. Now when I write certain people, they get a question mark after every sentence (this is what it looks like: �)
    Anyone know what causes this? Remedies? It seems to be people who are on PCs. Is it Mail or possibly my new intenet provider somehow? This was never an issue before.

  • How to fix the " flashing question mark after the finder icon when starting up" withou an apple keyboard?

    Hi
    I am wondering How to fix the " flashing question mark after the finder icon when starting up" without an apple keyboard. I have 2 of those .7Ghz emacs so just wanna fix them
    Thx

    Hi,
    >I am using a wireless standard keyboard so maybe the emac doesn't regognise it
    Installation of driver software may be required. Do not expect any wireless device to automatically work with a Mac unless guaranteed to do so. In a case like this, use a wired USB keyboard (a PC keyboard should be OK) and a wired mouse to begin with.

  • Start up disk full flashing file question mark after bootable back up attem

    My MacBook Pro flashes a file with a question mark after a bootable back up attempt. Any help or suggestions please. Tried Disk Warrior. PRAM reset, disk utility. Hard drive is working.
    Thanks,
    Kim
    PS. Disk Warrior program warns of "not enough space" when trying to create a new directory.

    Hi kbtb,
    Is all the data on the drive backed up? What if you wipe the drive and reinstall a fresh OS, I'd be curious if that works. It sounds like the startup error is indicative of a data directory corruption problem. How much free space is on the HD?

  • Flashing gray question mark after 10.5.8 update?

    This isn't so much a post to ask for help, as it is just trying to see if anyone got the same result and what you had to do to resolve it.
    Yesterday I updated to 10.5.8 and it did it's install and then restarted the system. Upon restart, it did the initial start-up charm and then loaded up to a gray screen with a flashing folder icon with a question mark on it.
    I called Apple support and we walked through repairing the disk with the disk utility, so on and so forth, and I'm still stuck with the same screen. The support agent says the next step is to fully reinstall the OS X...
    So that's my next step. I'm currently waiting for a friend of mine with a MacBook to come over so I can put my iMac into Target Disk Mode and pull some files before deleting everything.
    Anyone else?

  • Alternating mac face and question mark after i tried to install OS X 10.3

    I have a Powerbook G4 and I tried to update my operating sytem from 10.2.8 to 10.3 but it froze. After I restarted it I got an alternating mac face and question mark. It just ejects the CDs I try to put into it except for the installation disk for OS X 10.1.3. When I put that one in a smiling mac computer come up then all this type comes across the screen, something about kernels and panic.
    Please help me, I've got a project due soon.

    Could someone please help me,
    when i open my power book g4, an alternating Mac face and question mark appears, and no matter what I do it is still there.
    it only changes when I insert the installtion CD of MAC OS X 10.3, but after the Apple logo appears, the screen went white and sometimes just blue, and it just won't work. Then after restarting, the alternating Mac face and question mark still appear.
    i also tried the hardware test, after doing both of the tests, the result is consistently "passed". But after restarting, the same problem happens.
    what should i do?
    please help me
    thanx in advanced

  • Flashing question mark after 10.4 upgrade

    I installed an upgrade and on restart I got the flashing question mark. I don't have the original disks. I'm stumped and frustrated. I tried to restart in target disk mode and nothing shows on the second MacBook pro. Even tried migration manager and it wouldn't recognize the target laptop. I can restart holding the option key and start with an external hard drive. It has data from a carbon copy transfer from months past. I can't figure how to transfer that info back to my laptop when there is no hard drive on my desk top to drag the external data to. Any Help ??

    Boot from this external drive. Then do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive
    Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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 DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then quit DU.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) 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.
    If this is able to get your drive readable, then you can try to backup your data to the external drive. I would then suggest you erase the internal drive, then clone the external drive to the internal drive.
    This is about all you can do without installer discs. In the future you should never upgrade your system before repairing the hard drive and permissions, and then making a bootable clone. And you should get the installer discs you're missing.

  • Blinking Folder with Question Mark after replacing Hard Drive

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro. It recently stopped starting up.  I took it to the Genius Bar and the guy working there told me I needed to replace the hard drive.  I did that.  Now when I start the computer up I get a blinking folder with a question mark on it.
    I've tried holding Option to get to the Start Up Manager and I've tried holding Command+R to get to Recovery and both give me no results.
    I cannot find my original Installation Disc.
    Can anyone give me advice on what I should do next? Do I need to get another copy of the Install DVD to continue?

    Install Snow Leopard from the original discs that came with the computer. You cannot use a retail Snow Leopard DVD with that model. Update to 10.6.8. You can then redownload Lion or Mountain Lion freely if you have purchased them already.
    The first thing you must do is partition and format the drive before you can install OS X. To do that you will need an installer disc. You can purchase replacements from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    You cannot use Internet Recovery unless you had Lion or Mountain Lion already installed. In that case see:
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Question Marks After Periods

    I've noticed that after a period, where I add the usual two spaces before starting another sentence, the second space becomes a question mark when the receiving party replies to my emails. So, in their reply, my original note will be visible and have a single question mark where the second space would have been.
    Example (my reply): Hello, how are you?? It's cold outside.? Please verify your reciept of file.? Thank you.
    So, anyone else ever have this happen. This occurs with one client in particular. It isn't a global issue.
    Thanks.
    Brad

    Hello Bradley.
    You must have originally learned how to type on a typewriter like I did. Simply put, the "two space" rule is a typesetter's convention. It was developed for use with monospace fonts, so that your eye could easily pick up the start of a new sentence. With modern proportional fonts used with electronic/computer format, the double space is largely irrelevant. Further, modern typesetting software uses interword spacing to make the display of text more pleasing. Thus double spacing can make the layout less pleasing.
    This doesn't excuse the problem with Tiger Mail in which RTF is really HTML but until the problem is resolved by the Apple Mail team, either start using a single space after a sentence (which is the standard for electronic messages) or switch to Plain Text.

    That's an updater for the Japanese-language version of
    Dreamweaver 4,
    not a program that enables Japanese on the English version of
    DW4. You
    will need to uninstall Dreamweaver, and reinstall it.
    Early versions of Dreamweaver do not support Japanese in the
    English
    version unless you run the program in a Japanese-language
    operating
    system. I can't remember which was the first version to
    support Asian
    languages in the English version, but Dreamweaver 4 is
    definitely too old.

  • Blue question mark after uploading image

    After uploading an image to a collection page I only get a blue question mark on live site...no pics.  Any idea why ?
    Also, can add descriptions to video titles so they show up on content list without having to reupload entire video ?

    I'm having this same problem with thumbnails. I just tried to update all my graphics yesterday...
    The images I uploaded are showing up no problem in the back end, and if I click through to the collection page, the 300x300 version is there, but the front page of my site is a mess of blue question marks, and it's public-facing.
    HELP! Anyone?
