Question Mark on Stack - files missing

I was trying to help my wife stay organized, so I made a stack for her to hold all of the stuff she normally just had on the desktop. Now, for some reason, the stack just shows up as a blue folder with a Question Mark [?]. And, I can't seem to find the documents that used to live inside this stack at all.
Any ideas?

Did you delete the folder? A stack is just a folder on the dock. So in theory, you put a bunch of stuff into a folder and then put that folder on the dock. If you later deleted the folder, then all that stuff is gone and the dock doesn't know what it's supposed to point to.
If you know where you created the folder, go look for it there. You can also try searching for one of the items in the folder using Spotlight.
If you deleted it, and you're using Time Machine to do backups, you can recover it from the TM backup disk.

  • What does a question mark and i file mean on my macbook pro

    what does a question mark and i file mean on my macbook pro when i turn it on?

    To be more specific, the computer is not finding a valid system when it starts up. This may result from the hard drive's physical mechanism failing, or the system on the drive being corrupted in some way.
    Repairing permissions is not likely to fix this issue. Instead I would suggest booting from the system install DVD, running Disk Utility, selecting your hard drive's partition and select *Repair Disk*.
    Note: if the hard drive does not show up in Disk Utility at all, it is dead and will need to be replaced. Contact Apple (800-275-2273 in the USA) and have them set up warranty service, or carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store to have it fixed. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail] first you you may wait a long time to speak to a Mac Genius.
    If Repair Disk finds any problems and is able to correct them, you may be able to restart and everything be okay. If it is unable to correct the problems, you will need to erase and restore your hard drive.
    If Repair Disk does not find any problems, I would suggest an Archive and Install as described in [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710].
    Best of luck.

  • Question Mark.... missing files....

    The location for my 'Saved Files' is /Users/Me/Pictures/Adobe and when I click on that folder and 'Get Info' it tells me it the size of the folder is over 31Gig.
    The folder is full of .xmp files....
    When I open PSE 12, I see all of my thumbnails, but they all have a question mark in the top left hand corner. Whenever I click on a picture, it says, "Searching for missing file".... but never finds it.
    I'm pretty sure I know how I created this problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
    I'd imported all my media from iPhoto 11... then I deleted the iPhoto Library, to eliminate duplicate data bases. Takes up double memory.... but then, I also saw, in the Adobe 'Saved Files' path, a folder called, iPhoto Library Media. I thought this was also a duplicate folder of what I already had in /Users/Me/Pictures/Adobe. So I backed it up to an external disc before deleting it.
    Then I did a 'Backup Catalogue', also to a external disc....... Now all my files are AWOL. It seems I can do a 'Restore' from the backed up catalogue, but there have been a few photo's changed since then, and I'm prompted to 'Backup' again before Restoring.... bit of a mess.....
    Any pointers appreciated....

    I can give you a pointer for the future once you find the files. So let's fast forward to the future, when you've assembled all of your photos in Elements. First, you've got to remember never to move any photos to a new folder by dropping and dragging. Instead, open Elements and choose FILE/MOVE instead.
    Here's another tip to avoid missing or reconnect photos warnings in the future. I added a folder named Temp (for temporary). It is located in the same hierarchy as my other folders contained in the Adobe folder within the photos folder. I now move all new photos into this Temp folder BEFORE opening Photoshop Elements 11. After I open the organizer I choose FILE/GET MEDIA and locate the temp folder. I then tag all the photos in that folder, assign them to albums and edit them. After that's all done,  I use Elements to move the new images to a different folder that is already being monitored by Elements (by choosing FILE/MOVE as mentioned above). This clears the temp folder. The extra few seconds means that I never get the "missing photos" or "reconnect photos" warnings any longer. Plus, I can check the temp folder to make sure all of the images I worked on have moved out and into the folder that I actually wanted to use in the first place. It's pretty fool proof and you don't forget where the photos are located if you close the program by mistake or if your computer freezes. They will be in that Temp folder until you move them using the FILE/MOVE technique.
    Good luck with Vaishali's solution.

  • Display extended ascii characters as question mark in xml file

    I am creating a XML file with encoding as UTF-8. Some tag values contain some extended ascii characters. When i run the java program to create the file in windows, the extended ascii characters are display correctly. But in linux it is displaying as ?(question mark).
    i am not able to rectify this. can anyone help me....
    Its urgent
    Thanks in advance.

    Probably the locale is not set for the shell you are running in. The default 'C' locale uses the ASCII encoding which defines only 128 characters. See if giving the commandexport LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8before starting the program fixes the issue.

  • Blinking folder & Question Mark - Drive Good - Files Are Still there

    Okay,
    So I've been a long way with this iMac. It originally came to me with bad power supply. I replaced. Then it came back with bad capacitors. I replaced. Then it came back not booting. Here's where I'm stuck.
    I dont see the drive if I use command - s. If I boot OS X install cd, I can select OS X 10.4.11 on [OS Volume Name] in Startup Disk, I can see all the files on the disk, I've ran all repair options including file permissions and Disk Warrior, but the OS never loads.
    Tried Safe Mode, Single User, Verbose Mode, PRAM Reset, NVRAM Reset, reset-all in command-option-o-f mode, I've blessed the /Volumes/[OS Volume Name]/System/Library/CoreServices directory several different ways, still the OS never loads... blinking folder & question mark.
    I dont have correct install cd for this system and can't reinstall. Any suggestions or repairing bootloader, kernel, or something advanced...???
    Anyone?

    Hi Jkat, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Sounds like short of a proper install disk, you've tried everything but this...

  • On start  there is a question mark in a file folder what do I need to do?

    When starting a file with question mark in it, what is wrong?

    @LowLuster is of course correct.  You will need to either restore from TM or upgrade the hard drive and restore from Time Machine.
    Here is an excellent article on what to do:

  • Question mark flash with file when I boot MacBook

    When I boot my MacBook up I only see a flashing question mark and file and it doesn't give me a choice to navigate away from the screen at all. Please help!

    How long should it take to repair cause it saw the Macintosh hd drive and now its loading on the repairing screen where it says "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" and above that it says "volume repair complete"

  • When (attempting to) boot up my 2007 MacBook, I only get a white screen with a flashing gray file icon and a white question mark on the file

    I have the battery plugged in, everything I normally do when booting up the computer. The major problem is not being able to access anything.

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • My MacBook Pro fell, and now when I power it up, it shows a flashing icon of a question mark in a file folder. Is this repairable?

    ITMS there anything I can try to restore it? Thank you

    That display means you do not have a reconizable boot device.  Add to that the drop, and the hard disk is either deeply confused physically or dead.
    Other ohysical damage is quite possible.
    Take it to a Gnius Bar and have them confirm or deny more damage than the hard disk.

  • So every time i start up my comp i get a white screen with a question mark on a file. It also makes the clicking sound that it makes when its thinking. what do i do?

    i have tried rebooting with the command+option+p+r keys and that doesn't work
    i have tried holding down the shift key and that doesn't work
    i have tried inserting the cd that it came with but nothing happened
    i have only had it for about a year
    am i screwed?

    If it is a Mid 2012 model it did not come with a CD or DVD. So I don't know what disc you are using but it certainly did not come with the system. Now if it is older the a 2011 model then those came with optical discs.
    Try holding down the Coomand+r key yo boot to the Recovery HD partition. If that doesn't work hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen. From that you can use Disk Utility to check the internal hard drive.
    But I suspect your drive might be failing or it is totally corrupted. If the system is less then a year old you are still inside the one year warranty period and if you are I suggest you take it to an Apple store to checked out and fixed under that warranty.
    Also if the system is still within the one year warranty I suggest you buy the Applecare Extended warranty. You may need it.

  • ?????? Question mark instead of file bar

    I wrote a program and use the function module 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to output an ALV grid.   My grid comes up fine, but the drop down menu at the top of the screen -- the one that usually says 'Program  Edit Goto System Help' now looks like this:
    ???????????????????????   Edit ???????????????????????????? ??????????????????????  Settings System Help
    Under the first ??????? menu are Print Preview, Print, ???? (where export should be), send to and exit.
    The rest of the ?????? titles have the correct menu titles under them.  Any ideas?

    Dear Sara,
    after a patch of our SAP system we recently encounter the same problem. Did you manage to solve this problem in the meantime?

  • Flashing question mark and file

    My mac book is showing a question mark with a file and it is flashing when I turn the computer on, what has happened and what should I do?

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

  • White screen with flashing file icon with question mark mean

    What does this mean.   We are getting a white screen with flashing file icon with question mark inside the file. 

    It almost certainly means it can't find a bootable volume (one with OS X on it).
    Which means most likely you will have to find your original system installation DVD and install it. Then you should figure out what caused the problem.
    Read this to diagnose it before resorting to reinstalling the OS:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
    Excerpt:
    Additional steps
    If your Mac still starts to a flashing question mark, follow the steps below. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one.
    Select your Mac OS X startup disk with Startup Manager by restarting and holding the Option key. After your Mac starts up, restart again to verify that the flashing question mark does not appear.
    If the issue persists, insert your Mac OS X installation disc. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc.
    MacBook Air note: On a MacBook Air, there are two options for starting up from Mac OS X media: Either connect a MacBook Air SuperDrive to the MacBook Air via the USB port and restart the computer, holding down the C key during startup, or use Remote Install Mac OS X to startup from a system software DVD that's located on a partner computer. Once started up from Mac OS X media, skip to step 3.
    Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
    From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Don't click Continue.
    Select your Mac OS X disk (named "Macintosh HD" by default) in the left side of the Disk Utility window.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click Repair Disk to verify and repair any issues with your Mac OS X startup disk.
    After repairing the disk, try to start up normally.
    Important: If Disk Utility finds issues it cannot repair, you may need to back up as much of your data as possible (or use Time Machine to back up to a different disk), then erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS X. You should back up important files and data before erasing a drive. Erasing deletes everything on the hard disk (including things on your desktop). Also, you can install Mac OS X onto an external disk, start from the external disk, and use Migration Assistant to transfer items from your usual internal Mac OS X startup disk to the external disk, then erase the internal disk and reinstall Mac OS X.
    If the issue persists, and Disk Utility didn't find any irreparable issues, quit Disk Utility, quit the Installer, select your disk when prompted, and restart.
    If the issue continues, reset PRAM. Note: After resetting PRAM, if the computer starts up normally, reselect the startup disk in the Startup Disk preferences.
    If none of these steps resolve the issue, start up from the Mac OS X Installation disc and reinstall Mac OS X.

  • Question Mark File

    The other day my computer froze and I hard to force restart, when I turned it back on, it came up with a question mark with a file flashing. I then restarted the computer and then it was fine. Today I woke my computer and straight away it came up with the question mark file. I then forced shutdown and then turned it back on, and it was fine. Why is this happening, and how can I stop this from happening in the future? Any help would be much appreciated.

    That is indicating that the Mac is not able to find a system file to boot from.
    Then follow direction at
    MacBook Air SMC and PRAM reset
    Make sure you have the system drive selected in System Preference as the boot drive
