Question mark on the frame of my photos in the film strip and files can't be opened

I had used LR for imports and some editing. I then reorganized my folders of the original files. This includes the NEF and JPG.
Now when I open LR, all of the files are there but I get a message that they can't be opened and there is a small question mark on the gray around each photo.
What do I need to to do to undo this?
Thanks,
Paul

Did you "reorganize" them outside of LR? If so, LR has lost track of the images. You'll need to click the Question Mark on one at the highest level directory you can and point LR to the file. LR will try to re-locate the rest but you may need to do this for each changed branch.

  • After editing, photo goes to end of film strip and I lose my place

    In the beta, in develop mode, I would work on a file, go to CS3 for some editing, then back, and then export jpeg. Now, my work flow gets a little messed up with 1.1 because after I export, the photo I was working on disappears to the end of the film strip and my film strip is at the end. So, I keep losing my place. Is there a way to go back to the beta way by setting some preferences somewhere? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Sara-
    It sounds like your sorting is set to "by edit time" or some other that's sending it to the end of the line. Also, work inside of one folder at a time.

    when i click on it it says " the item can not be found" what item?
    thanks for your help.

    This just happened to me. Help.
    There was a mounted disk image on the desktop. I used to command-drag these to the drive so that it would copy as a whole folder. I just did that in Mountain Lion. But a folder was nowhere to be found. I forgot about it and just ejected the disk image.
    Now I see there is a question mark at the right of every Finder window. I can't seem to remove it.
    EDIT: I googled for the answer and found it. It can be removed by first right-clicking to "Customize Toolbar". Then drag it off and poof..

  • Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols.  Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center.  I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

    Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center.  I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

    A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
    First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • So i have a 2011 MacBook Pro and when i turned it on this morning a flashing folder came on with a question mark in the middle of it and it keeps flashing. So i tried googling any solutions and up so far nothing has worked. Please Help ?

    I tried googling several solutions, but so far nothing seems to work. Everytime i start up my laptop i press CMND+R to make it go to the repair disk utility but instead it takes me as if i have to install lion when i had Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When i do go to the repair disk utility, on the eft hand side shows two hardrives one is Untitled and another is Hitachi, i tried downloading snow leopard 10.6.8 onto a Re-writable disc  using my windows computer. When i insterted it onto the disc drive it came out under SUPER DRIVE and everytime i double click on the CD it says something about attaching images/ I also forgot to mention that the MAC OSX 10.6.8 Update shows on the left hand side on the bottom in DMG format. I dont know what else to do, please help?

    This is the firmware telling you it can't find a bootable OS X volume.
    Usually to solve this all you do is hold the option key down on the built in keyboard while booting the computer, this enters Startup Manager and then you choose OS X to boot, then in System Preferences > Startup Disk you change it to the boot volume and it tells the firmware.

    What you have is a 10.7 or 10.8 Recovery HD from when 10.7 or 10. was on the machine previously.
    The Macintosh HD partition only was erased and 10.6 installed on it, without erasing the entire drive like what should have occured to remove the Recovery HD partition.
    So you have a mucked up machine.
    i tried downloading snow leopard 10.6.8 onto a Re-writable disc  using my windows computer.
    Well there goes your problem there, your downloading illegal copies of Snow Leopard from a untrusted location.
    10.6 is not available for download, except from pirate sites. You likely have malware or a compromised system.
    I dont know what else to do, please help?
    What you need to do is call Apple via phone, tell them the make of your machine and order the appropriate 10.6 disks, they are inexpensive now. Some machines that came with 10.6.3+ origianlly need machine specific disks, other wise pre-10.6.3 Intel Macs can use the 10.6.3 white retail disks.
    Once you have the disks, you need to backup your personal information off the computer to a external storage drive using the emergency quick copy method, then disconnect it to prevent mistakes.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next follow this proceedure and make sure to select the ENTIRE drive on the far left with the drive makers name and size, this will erase the entire drive, then install 10.6 from the disk
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    When finished setup the machine and log onto the Internet and use Software Update to get current on 10.6.8
    Don't use pirated software, it's likely been compromised in some fashion.

  • Not able to get rid of a Question mark in the Dock

    A friend got stuck with a Question Mark in the Dock of his 4 year old iMac that was linked to an app not compatible anymore with his latest 10.8.2 version ( guess it was a Power PC app, before Mountain Lion, he was still on Leopard ). He apparently deleted the app and some dependencies manually ( instead of using App Cleaner & Co. ) and now whenever he is hovering over that Question Mark, even before being even able to pull it out from the Dock, the screen flashes up white and the Finder resets.
    Is there a way to access the Dock through an element of his user library to get rid of that Mark, or even through a Terminal command ( not that I like to delve in there, but Terminal commands have helped me personally quite often ) ?
    Does the Dock have a dedicated place in the Library's User Folder ? Couldn't find anything on my own Mac.
    Thanks for any clue ....

    Right clicking on it is not even an option, just hovering over it seems to induce a "nuclear" reset of the whole desktop and graphic card on the iMac.
    Have meanwhile found a possible solution by erasing the dock preference file in the user/library/preferences folder to reset the dock to it's default state. Will try this out through a Skype conversation with that Buddy.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu. 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.
    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. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

    If these do not resolve the issue or if you are not comfortable with proceeding through these steps then take your Mac to an Apple store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.  An Apple store will perform these initial steps, diagnose the problem, and give an estimate for repairs (if needed).  If the Mac is less than one year old or is covered by AppleCare any repairs would be free.

    This is probably one of the files that is required by the template you are using.
    These files are inside the iWeb app. Control click the iWeb app icon and select "Show package contents".
    You need to dig down through the folders and files to find what you want...

    If the file is missing you would need to re install the iWeb app...

  • At start up I get a white screen then eventually a blinking folder icon with a question mark in the middle

    Help!  As of today, my iMac will not boot up.  When I turn it on I get a blank white screen then, after about a minute, a blinking folder icon with a question mark in the middle.

    Find your original install disk, insert it and re-boot holding the "C" key during startup. It will take longer but should boot. Then you need to select Disk Utilityfrom the Menu Bar. Do a Repair Disk on your hard drive. When it finishes re-boot normally.
