Question mark display

i was wondering if other mac users experience this problem too. when i go on a website, a lot of the images contain a question mark with a blue background. for instance, when i go to myspace on a friend's site,a majority of the buddy icons contains the question mark.
i refresh the page a few times and still contains the same problem.
anyone know how to solve this problem?
thanks.

I'm pretty sure that means there is no actual image. Sometimes the servers where images are stored are down, or simply the link to the image is broken (deleted files). The HTML says there's supposed to be an image there, and displays some sort of question mark or other symbol depending on which web browser you're using to indicate that it can't find it.

  • Inverted question mark  (¿) displayed insted of euro sign (€)

    Hi folks,
    when I'm trying to open an existing report (created and built on colleagues machine) in my Report Builder (v 10.1.2.0.2) instead of euro sign (€) is displayed inverted question mark (¿).
    When I open this report with other machine, everything is fine. So it looks to me, that something is wrong with my machine - some settings.
    I compared Regional and Language settings within Control Panel,in register NLS_LANG (AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252) - on both machines and it is the same.
    What can cause this problem?
    Many Thanks,
    Tomas

    Yes I have, I checked character codes on my machines.
    I reinstalled Oracle forms and reports (10gR2) and after re-installation it is working fine. I have no idea what causes this problem.
    Thanks,

  • Questions marks displayed in SAP menu

    Hi Gurus,
    We recently applied around 120 support packages and everything completed successfully, now we notice that applying the SP, Question marks ( ???????????????) are getting displayed in  the menu area for some Tcodes. These question marks are getting displayed between the Environment and  System menu.
    I heard that it has something to with language update, also after an SAP Upgrade some language update needs to be done in order to remove these Question marks, is it so?
    Please let me know how to fix this issue. Awaiting your valuable responses.
    Regards,

  • New hard drive in 2009 iMac has been installed and now I have a folder with a question mark displayed on start up.

    I installed a Barracuda 500 gb drive. When I attempted a reinstall based off an external hard drive using time machine, it showed an error message of not being able to complete the back up. This was after I formatted the new drive using disc utility. I reformatted a different external drive and let it make several back ups. I then put the new drive into the machine and now I only get the folder with the question mark. It is a late 2009 iMac. The OS updates have been through the on line store and I do not have back up discs. Everything SHOULD be backed up on my external.

    when you partition and format the new bare drive are you running off of an install disc in the optical drive? I have used the install disk for Leopard to access the Disc Utility (did not install Leapard, just used it to access the Disc Utility) as well as the machine prompting me to take action due to the new hard drive being recognized, again using disc utility and using the install disc provided by the hard drive manufacturer. All of these were done according to instruction as previously mentioned, on a reformatted and partitioned drive each time.
    What OS version are you nstalling on the bare drive before you attempt to restore from your Time Machine backup? I have not installed any OS on the bare drive. I do not have a copy of Lion 10.7.5  as I purchased it through the app store. I was under the impression I could reinstall all the data through Time Machine but that is proving elusive - frustrating.
    Are you trying to use the Time Machine "star wars" interface to restore or are you using Migration Assistant? I am not using migration assistant. I have been using the Time Machine restore application.

  • Why the question mark on all open windows while in the Finder?

    I am running OS X version 10.10 on an iMac and a MBP with Retina display. While in the finder every open window has a large question mark displayed. Why is this? What might be the he problem? What can be done to correct the issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    Where is it displayed? Post an image here:
    To post screen shot do this:
    Press COMMAND-SHIFT-4 which will change the cursor to crosshairs.
    Hold down the mouse button and use the crosshairs to select the part of the screen you wish to capture.
    Release the button and the image will be saved to your Desktop.
    Click on the Camera icon in the toolbar of the forum message editor.
    Drag the image onto the Choose File button and click on the Insert button.
    No guarantee anyone will see it given how the forum has been, but if it is then a picture is worth a thousand words.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display.  There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark.  How can I go back to attached images?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display.  There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark.  Double clicking on the box will open the image in a separate window.  It's very slow and tedious for multiple images.  How can I go back to attached and displayed  images?  If I click on "Forward", the images appear instantly in the email to be forwarded.

    Scott,
    My problem seemed to fix itself.  Or, by shutting down the computer one night, instead of putting it to sleep, may have reset something.  Since updating to Mavericks, I always (or usually) let the computer sleep overnight or anytime I'm walking away from it.  A few days ago, I was updating notes for my kids about how to find all my stuff and how to turn on my computer, so I wanted to rewrite the start-up procedures for the iMac, just in case they ever need to.  Well, I shut it down one night so the following morning, I could write down each step.  Lo and behold, the images, etc. are all there again!  Solved, but I'm not sure why.

  • Upgraded to ios6 on my iphone 3gs and email is not displaying images. It has a blue box with a blue question mark inside

    I just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 3gs and I noticed on a couple of incoming emails that the images and information are not being displayed. There is a blue square box with a blue question mark inside. I already tried to press the home key and power key to restart. The email still does not display correctly. I went on my laptop to retrieve that same email and I was able to see the graphics and information, so the problem is on the iphone. I received two emails like this, so I'm missing all the important information. I also tried to retrieve my email through the internet browser and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I forgot to mention that I have an Ipad 2 also and I can view the email information on there also. I received an email from Party city and it said to click here to print out the coupon. So I click the coupon and there is the little blue box with the question mark. This is the first time I've seen this happen, as I have printed out the coupons before. Maybe it has to do with the IOS6 update, because this just started to happen right after the update.

  • My MacBook Pro won't start - it just displays a grey screen with flashing icon of a folder with a question mark in the middle. Help.

    It started while I was using Adobe InDesign, and that program froze, then crashed. When I tried to reopen the program, the error message I received was simply "Error: 16".
    I tried to take a screen shot of the error message for reference, and it gave me a message saying I couldn't because I didn't have access to the files where it would normally store the shot.
    Attached to my computer at the time was my Seagate Free Agent Go-Flex for Mac backup drive.
    So, I closed any open applications, and restarted my computer. But it wouldn't restart. It only displays a grey screen with a flashing icon in the middle of a folder with a question mark on it.
    I have no idea what happened - I wasn't using the machine any differently than usual, and it only had a few basic applicaitons open in addition to InDesign (like Preview, Text Edit, Microsoft Word, iCal).
    I have MacKeeper on my MacBook, and I keep it clean.
    Does anyone out there know what this flashing icon indicates, and if there is anything I can try on my own to fix it?
    Thanks.

    May or may not be a contributing factor,  may have kicked in at a wrong time or running root code.

    I have MacKeeper on my MacBook, and I keep it clean.
    Well that explains it, MacKeeper is almost malware.
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    Search the forums here for "MacKeeper" they will tell the whole story, crapware.
    Disconnect all drives, follow the "Grey Screen" instructions and hold Shift key down while booting, if you get into OS X , immediatly backup your files to another drive and disconnect.
    In my opinion you should first check to make sure you have a backup of your data, then just erase the entire internal drive (hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility), reinstall OS X, same user name, update to 10.6.8, c boot off the 10.6 and Repair Disk (to fix a update error) install your programs and finally return files from backup into the same main user folders like before (Music, Docs, Pictures etc.)
    A pain it is, but you've hosed your system and in the process you might as well rebuild everything and have a fast machine again. So happens to clear MacKrapper, uninstall CS5 and any other junk in your system at the same time. Fresh, clean, lean and mean.
    Learn to Carbon Copy Cloner to a external drive that new pristine boot drive, you can hold the option key and boot from it (even update it), which is a real bacon saver when something like this happens.  Also it's free to use, donations accepted.

  • Mac Book just displays a folder icon with question mark

    Hi! My mac does not turn on, it just displays a folder with a question mark. What should I do?
    Btw, I've just turned it on in a country with a lower power supply, can this be the problem? I'm kind of desperate by now.
    Thank you. [email protected]

  • BIP in Oracle EBS R12.1 - Characters displayed as question marks

    Hi,
    We have recently upgraded to EBS 12.1.1, and have noticed that since doing so some characters in PDF outputs (from BIP reports run in EBS) are being displayed as question marks.
    The Templates are created using the font Arial, and the characters that are being displayed incorrectly are 'long dashes' "–" (\endash) and where Microsoft Word has group three full stops together "..." (\'85)
    An Example, the text in MS Word and in the PDF when run using Oracle BI Publisher Desktop is:
    Three full stops ……………
    A long dash –
    A short dash -
    However the output in PDF when running the report in EBS is:
    Three full stops ?????
    A long dash ?
    A short dash -
    Has anyone come across this before, or does anyone know of a way to resolve it. I have tried uploading an Arial font file and creating mappings (although Arial already exists as a seeded font file) but this has not resolved the issue.
    Regards
    Carl

    Hello,
    Check if you have all necessary fonts under your jre/lib/fonts ($AF_JRE_TOP and $OA_JRE_TOP) on all your web and concurrent nodes. Or, try to copy the fonts from $FND_TOP/resource (check post install steps for XMLP 5.6.3). Mid-tier bounce needed after copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Yosemite Mail displays image attachments as question marks if attachments also contain a pdf

    We have 11 macs running Yosemity in our company and I have the following problem with Mail since upgrading.
    If an email is created in Mail and both images (jpg) and pdf's are attached to that mail, the recipient will see the images displayed as question marks, but the pdf show as icon as it should. This is only on mac. Other clients see the attachments properly.
    This also appears to be the case when receiving email from others using outlook. When the email contains both images (even in signatures) and pdf files, the images displays as question marks and the pdf display as icon or previewed as normal.
    Any suggestions?
    Displaying remote images in HTML emails are ticked, but this is attached images, not remote images.
    When sending the pdf only - displays correctly
    When sending the images only - displays correctly

    I found a solution here and it worked for me. It doesn't go back to old messages that are already in your inbox and correct the issue, but any new messages that come in will show images:

  • Why are some websites displayed with added question marks inside black diamonds

    Numbers are displayed with question marks inside black triangles before and following, possibly as column separators.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I attempted to access financial websites

    Can you post a link?
    You can try a few different encoding settings: "View > Character Encoding" like Western ISO-8859-1 or another Western encoding or UTF-8
    You can also try to switch on Auto-Detect: "View > Character Encoding > AutoDetect > Universal"
    A diamond with a '?' usually indicates that a character is missing in the font that is used on a website or the wrong encoding is used.
    You get the '?' on websites that use an 8 bit encoding like ISO-8859-1 or a Windows encoding like Windows-1252.
    This issue can happen if content was copied from one 8 bit or Unicode encoding to another encoding.

  • Arabic characters are displaying as question marks in forms 10g

    We have migrated our application from forms 6i to forms 10g and now in forms 10g the arabic characters are displaying as question marks while it displays correctly in the old application using forms 6i. I have already set the character set to AR8MSWIN1256 in the registry, but it didn't help. Somebody please help.

    @ Sarah, Al-Salamu Alikum We Rahmatu Allah we Barakatu,
    Sarah Habibty, why new installation ? In order to select a new suitable character set !!!
    Then creating a new instance from the db is a better alternative since it saves time,effort and another back up of his current db is exist safely if needed for any purposes in the future.
    @Amer,honestly speaking...
    Modifing ur NLS_LANG to > AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
    Works for me in both Arabic and English data in 2 applications.This works in my pc.But it didn't works at my boss pc this can happened don't have any reason for that.!!!!
    i spent lot's of time trying to search but what i had got is that solution i suggested by a friend of mine.
    Now please could you advise me, is it better to create a new instance of database as Amatu Allah has suggested or is it better to change the character set through sql as some others have suggested? Again i suggest to select the short cut way ; to reset the character set through sql after taking a back up from ur data that is currently exist.
    then retest again doing the select and test ur data input and retrieval.
    SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters
    2 where parameter in ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LANGUAGE');watching the output if it works that's fine saving ur time & effort .
    if not working with the correct NLS_CHARACTERSET then use my previous solution.
    Hope this helps...
