Question mark over Quicktime logo in Safari - MacBook

Hi,
I have a black macbook on which FCP studio is installed and therefore QT Pro.
While browsing in Safari, (Latest 10.4.7 and Safari updates) and trying to access a link which plays streaming Qt's or just plain ones, I receive a Question mark over the Quicktime logo in place of the movie.
When right clicking the link and saving target, it downloads the movie and opens it in quicktime ok.
What the **** is going on.
On my G5 no problems to access these exact same links...
Pretty annoying I would say
ThanX

Yeah, this is very common right now. Problem is not with Quicktime, but with the Shockwave plug-in in Safari. it is not yet native to intel-based Macs so it will not activate properly as is.
Unfortunately, there is nothing yet to update to, so you can either live with it as is or run Safari in Rosetta mode which will slow it down slightly, but give you all the web content properly.
Try this:
Quit Safari
Go to the Safari icon in Applications
Ctrl-click the icon
Go to "Get Info"
Click the box next to "Open using Rosetta"
Open Safari
This will solve the problem until an Intel-compliant Shockwave plug-in comes out.

Question mark over Quicktime logo on some trailers

Hello there
Some time ago i have an issue with QT 7.0.4. The issue was about a conflict with java when i try to run java app, so someone on this foro reply me to downgrade to 7.0.3 and give me a link to an installer to do that.
The installer working great and the java app too, but when i try to see the movie trailers, some of them appear with a question mark over the QT logo and can't see the trailers.
Right now i have 7.0.3 because i don't want the issue back.
Anyone may suggest something, please ???

Ok, here some of the trailers:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/anamericanhaunting/trailer/

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thesentinel/trailer_small.html

But i want to give credits to QT, because only some of trailers (like all this) have the problem, not all of them.

Question mark on Quicktime logo

Just updated my Quicktime and everytime I try to go to something that requires Quicktime I get a logo with a broken corner or the Quicktime logo with a Question mark in the middle.
I have done everything I was supposed to, and it says it downloaded successfully, the logo is there but when I try to open anything I get the question mark.

I have had this problem too, and recently found a solution that worked for me over on this forum: http://sillydog.org/forum/index.php
(found by scouring google results for "quicktime question mark windows xp")
(also, I had already changed QT's MIME settings so that it wasn't handling Flash swf movies -- it didn't help)
the solution goes as follows:
copy this file >C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll
to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
That did it for me.
Hope that helps.
This worked for me.
Now I can watch trailers on the Apple site again.
the flash plugin you'll be moving is version 8.0 r22, which replaced my newly installed version 9.0 r16. I have no idea why this worked... Anyone have any input on that?

White question mark inside quicktime logo

I used to be able to open a video attachment in email by clicking on it. Now when I do that I get "loading" and nothing happens.
Then I get the quicktime logo with a white question mark in the middle. If I download the video I cn see it, but if I try to see it
from the email I have to down load again - putting another copy in download. Can I fix this?

None of the videos at that site worked for me. Looking through the page code I couldn't find a URL for the QuickTime files.
Only the page author can fix it.
src="http://chnmstreaming.gmu.edu/historicalthinking/Scopes_Stream.mov"
QTKirk, source code appears to be pre-cached by previous web page before jumping to this page. In any case, the streaming server appears to be down or at least off-line when you try to access the video stream directly which probably explains both the displayed question mark and the "now you see it—now you don't" nature of access mentioned by the OP here.

When I go to a webpage it shows a blue question mark after quicktime logo

Quick Time Browser and websites wont work I have downloaded all the things I need and it still wont work...anyone know how to help me out???
Please email me at [email protected] thanks

The computer can't find a startup drive:
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support

Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.

My Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it. I've tried Option key, and Control S keys and it still will not boop up. Can anyone help?

If you are running Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
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 Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you are running Lion or later:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

Facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome.

Since July on MacBook Pro facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome. Everything is up to date including last version of Adobe Flash. And watching YouTube also a problem. Video is skipping, freezing for few seconds and jumps forward. At the same time on Toshiba with Windows Vista under the same account, same wi-fi connection everything works fine.
Please help with sugesstions to fix the issue.

Seems like problem is solved but it might be temporarily. Anyway. Click on the image, it will open facebook photo browser. Image is not loading so right click on the blue box with question mark, save image as. It will start downloading but without any success since browser do not see the image. After this attempt refresh the page and close all tabs with facebook. Try to open facebook once again. For some reason after this weird actions all images displayed properly. Do not know for how long but now it works.

Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image? It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image? It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

The question mark in the box, if it looks like this: means that safari cannot find the linked image. On windows machines, this would be the equivilant of the small "page-with-a-red-X" logo that appears in the same scenario. Check the reference to the image and make sure that the image is in the correct location, and is accessable by the reference.

Dashboard shows question mark for quicktime

when i try viewing trailers in the movie widget, dashboard now displays a ? (question mark) over the quicktime icon. latest quicktime,
snow leopard 10.6.8....any suggestions? thanks a bunch

That does sound odd. But if it just started happening today, or within the past few days, some sort of file corruption could be the cause. If you want to test that, try this:
1. Quit everything, except the Finder.
2. Go to ~/Library/Preferences and remove (don't delete) the com.apple.Dashboard.plist file to the Desktop.
3. Log out and log back in to your account and see if the problem continues. If not, and everything else is behaving normally, then the preferences file was corrupted, so you can delete the one on your Desktop.
Post back with results.

Flashing Question Mark & Sad Apple Logo

I had my Mac for quite some time and everything seem to be going well until yesterday, when I pressed the power key all it showed was a white screen and the apple logo, I had called Tech and they said i was out of warrenty, but informed me that it would best to load the Mac OS X cd when I loaded and reached the select a destination part I saw my hard drive with an explanation point. she stated this was bad and that i would need to compeltely whipe the hard drive which didnt bother me. I went to Disk Utilities and chose my hards drive clicked options and choose to zero all data, also clicked download OS 9 drives. After waiting for about an hr it was completed, and i gave it a volume and went on with the installation i choose the volume and all seemed well. yet, after the computer rebooted and all i saw was a Flashing Question Mark & Sad Apple Logo. not quite sure what this means but checked other threads and followed some of the advised given to repair this, yet for me it doesn't work, as of now i tried erasing all data again but now it seems i can't set a volume. Not 100% percent sure which OS cd i have i will double check and reply later, I have a powerbook G4. any help would be great.
Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hi Richard,
I was hoping you'd respond Thanks to the link to S.M.A.R.T reporter, but things have deteriorated since my last post and now it won't boot up at all.
I hit the power button, hear the start-up chime, then nothing but eerie silence and a gray screen.
The lack of noise usually created by a HD spinning up should be obvious that this is indeed a hard drive issue, but I want to make sure I can sound intelligent when throw myself at the guy who replaced the drive.
I tried booting from a 10.3 install cd (holding down 'c' at startup) to run Disc Utility but it won't even do that. I can hear the cd-rom spinning, reading the disc, but after a while it just gives up. In fact, I think if I listen hard enough, I can hear the faintest sound of mocking laughter....
Is this painfully, obviously, a hard drive gone bad?
It's not the end of the world, just very aggravating.

Question mark over the Mail icon

What can I do if there is a question mark over the mail icon in dock... I can't open the Mail now. Thanks!

you can reinstall Mail using the leopard install DVD. insert the DVD and open it in finder. among other things you should see a folder called "optional installs". Open it and double-click on Optional Installs.mpkg. Follow the instructions. at the appropriate page you'll have to check the box for "Mail" on the list of software you want to install.
This will install Mail 3.0. To update it to the latest version of mail reinstall
[10.5.3 combo update|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1053comboupdate.html].

IPhoto has a question mark over it. Wont open! Help?

iPhoto has a question mark over it. Wont open! It is completely inaccessible. How can i restore this to my computer and get my pics back?

iPhoto has a question mark over it.
You mean in the Dock? Then the Dock icon is no longer linked to the application.
Did you upgrade MacOS X, so iPhoto is no longer compatible?
If you moved or deleted iPhoto, reinstall it. It will depend on your iPhoto version and MacOS X version, how to reinstall.
If your profile signature ""OS X (10.6.8)" is still valid, reinstall iPhoto from your system install disks, if iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, or from your iLife install disks.
If you already upgraded to Yosemite, you can reinstall iPhoto from the App Store.

Question mark on quicktime videos and links

Question mark on quicktime videos and links. Anyone have a clue about this one

That video presentation is great for Mac OS, but not
XP. Doesn`t happen on all sites, so is the problem my
end or the other?
What is exactly your problem?
If you see a question when you visit a site where a QuickTime movie is embedded, there are possibilities. One is that there is a link made to the QuickTime, and QuickTime cannot access it. The second possibility which most people have is that you don't have an appropriate decoder for the QuickTime video. I only responded to the first case. And the second case is discussed several times a day.

My iphoto has a transparent question mark over it and will not open. How do I fix this?

My iphoto on my imac will not open. It has a transparent question mark over it...how do I fix it?

Is the question mark on the Dock at the bottom of your screen? Then it means that the Dock can't find the application.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Because it was moved, renamed, or deleted, and needs to be put back or reinstalled.
