Question mark top right of all windows

There has suddenly appeared a large grey question mark at the top left of all windows, for example,the main HD window and all the folder windows.
The finder text font is also different to how it was before.
Any ideas?
Thanks everyone.

Hi The Buckminster,
There has suddenly appeared a large grey question mark at the top left of all windows, for example,the main HD window and all the folder windows.
This is what's termed as an orphaned alias. At some point an alias was created by either yourself or someone else using your computer and the alias was placed on top of the Finder window. This can be achieved in a similar way to placing an application in the Dock. Simply click and drag the file/application to the top of the Finder window, wait a second or so and a plus symbol will appear. At this point an alias is created of the original file which can be opened by simply clicking on it; same as you would from the Dock.
The question mark is appearing because the link to the original file has been lost; either the original was deleted or has been moved to a different location. You can remove the question mark by simply Command(Apple)+clicking on the question mark and dragging it away from the Finder window. It will then disappear in a "poof".
The finder text font is also different to how it was before.
Do you have any third party utilities installed which allow you to change the original font used by Finder?

  • Question mark in right had corner of windows

    I just had my first crash of a 1 year old macbook. after a hard reboot, i noticed that there is a question mark to the right of the search in the right hand corner of the HD window, or any other folder window. when i click on the question mark, i get a small window that says "cannot find item". very wierd. other than that computer seems to be working fine. anyone see this before?

    It appears that random data may have been written to one of the plist files during the crash.

    I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

    Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to?  Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock? 
    More then likely they are  an alias that not longer point to the orginals,  thus the question mark.
    I would reboot.  Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove.

  • Question Mark Link on File Folder Window

    I just noticed a question mark (?) that appears on the File Folder Windows like an app is looking for something (next to a thumbnail icon at the top of the folder windows) and cannot seem to get rid of it.  Any suggestions?

  • Blue Lego with question mark showing up for all my attachments and images

    Something happened. I don't know if it was from installing the new Adobe flash. Now all my jpegs, pngs, file attachments show up as blue legos with a ?. But stuff form Amazon, eBay have images showing. same goes for jpegs sent to me from friends. what happened?

    I have been experiencing the same issues. So far, I have tried:
    1. Uninstall Flash with the Uninstaller supplied on Adobe's website. Reinstall Flash. _Did not work_.
    2. Uninstall Flash with the Uninstaller supplied on Adobe's website. Delete the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist. Reinstall Flash. _Did not work_.
    3. The suggestions posted on MacFixIt at: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20071204103141963. _Did not work_. In fact, on my Mac there is not a "application/x-shockwave-flash" entry shown under "WebPluginMIMETypes." It might be that it should be there, but its not. If its needed, I don't know how to get it there. Even reinstalls of Flash Player don't put it there. (I did not try fix #3 because I don't want to break Quicktime).
    Basically, I have tried everything I can find and still am not able to fix this issue in Safari. It works ok in Firefox, but not always. Sometimes I get a blank box or two in Firefox where a picture should be. I especially have this issue when using Facebook.
    Seem like many others are running into these issues. I really wish Apple and Adobe would get their act together on things. I am fairly new to Macs and I'm beginning to believe with all the quirks and bugs that Apple has shown me since I've been running Leopard, that Macs are not really much better than PCs. The user experience is better, but in terms of stability, not much better.
    If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

    I thought upgrading to Leopard might have fixed it but it is still there.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks everyone.

    Buckminster, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I note that you are using Leopard on a Powerbook G4. This forum is for G4 desktops. You are more likely to get an answer if you post in the Leopard 10.5 forum @ http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=235

  • Unknown question mark symbol on Finder Window

    Hi  All,
    I  have  noticed  an  awkward  question  mark  symbol  (?)  on  all  of  my  Finder  windows.
    I  don't  understand  what  it  means  or  how  to  remove  it.
    A  snapshot  of  the  problem  is  shown  below :
    Please  note  the  grey  "Question  Mark - ?"  on  the  top  of  the  Finder  window.
    Any  ideas  on  how  to  remove  the  mark ?
    If  the  (?  symbol)  is  clicked  a  dialog  box  appears  saying  "The  item  can't  be  found".

    Yes. I  overlooked  this  matter.
    I  was  actually  able  to  remove  the  symbol  by  (Command + drag out).
    The  symbol  is  gone !
    Thanks  for  the  helpful  tip.

  • Two arrows on the top right of windows

    what are the two arrows on the top right of each window? Thay make the screen huge..

    They are a part of 10.8. Known as 'full screen mode' they enlarge a window to the entire size of the screen and remove any unwanted distractions so you can focus on your application.
    Click once to enable and then again to disable.

  • Oh S_it, my intel iMac 2008 wont boot, flashing question mark is all I get.

    Bought a friends' intel duo iMac 2008 which was working just find until a couple of day's ago and now when I try to boot it up all I get is a flashing question mark. I unplugged all components, including the electric cord and that worked the first time but now nothing. I don't have the startup or recovery disks. Must I have these...what's a girl to do? HELP!!!

    You don't need those discs, unless you need to test for Hardware, or reinstall the original operating system.
    But you should get them anyway. Any software they installed on your machine, you should have the discs for as they are not their's to give away copies because of licensing restrictions.
    The first step to try is zapping the PRAM:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Then attempting a data recovery if there is no backup*:

  • What's that button on top right corner?

    New to Mac and OSX here, I'm still not sure about some of the most basic things.
    On the top right corner of windows (not on all but most), there's a little button that one can click on, I have the follwing questions:
    1. What is it supposed to do?
    2. On some windows, clicking on it shrinks the window size, whereas on others it enlarges the current window. On some others, it doesn't do anything. And on Firefox, it hides the address bar. Is this normal?
    3. Is there a keyboard shortcut key for that button so I won't have to click on it every time with a mouse?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Why is there a question mark on my startup disk.

    When I go to apple system preferences, there is a question mark on my startup disk. Why? and what should I do to resolve it.
    I don't have any problem starting my ocmputer and using it.

    in the system pref.
    the top line ... "Show all, Display, Sound, Network,
    Startup disk
    my 'startup disk' has a question mark!
    Right. That's fine. It's just telling you that you can click that icon to choose a different Startup Disk. That question mark is part of the icon for that preference pane.
    I click on it and I get a"select the system.."
    It shows my Mac OS 10.3.9 and Network Startup which
    has a question mark
    I do have OS selected.
    and question mark on Network.
    Is that correct?
    Correct.
    Now, where do I go to see my startup items?
    Click on "Show All" in the System Preferences. Then Accounts down in the System section. Choose your account in the list at the left hand side, then choose the "Startup Items" tab on the right.
    To remove an app from that list, select it and use the "-" button below. Unchecking it just means that if the application has a window, it'll be hidden at startup.
    Thanks for all your help.
    You're welcome.

  • I recently had a Hard drive failure, got the flashing question mark

    Hello,
    I recently had a hard drive fail on my IMAC.  The power went out in my home and knocked the computer off.  When I turned it back on I go the dreaded white screen with flashing folder/Question mark.
    I tried all the tricks I could find (on my other computer search) but nothing worked.  I also inserted the install disk and then tried the "disk utility" ... this is where I got really scared...the utility saw my Hard Drive, but showed nothing on it with 0 space available.  I thought I was fried and actually ordered a new hard drive online.  (This is the second time in 3 years this has happened ... and wouldn't you know my extended warranty expired 2 weeks ago)
    The next day, I think ... well, let me just try booting up to see if a miracle will happen.  Low and behold it booted up!  My drive is there, all my data everything!  (and a new hard drive on the way overnight! lol)
    So my friends, what the heck is going on?  I immediately repaired permissions once I brought it up.  But I'm afraid to shut the thing off now in fear it won't come back. 
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Assuming you have some backups:
    Drive Preparation and OS X Installation
    1.  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 Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.
    If the drive is not failing then the above process will find any possible bad blocks. If no bad blocks are found and the drive reformats, then reinstall OS X. If the drive does fail and you have another you can install, then try that. If this doesn't fix things then take it in for service.

  • Flashing Question mark on start up?

    So when I try to start up my PPC G5, I hear the start up tone, and then it goes straight to a grey screen with a flashing question mark. I followed all the steps on Apple's website to resolve this, I held option and started up, and all that came up were two buttons, one looked like a circle with an arrow at the end of it and the other was a straight arrow, also I couldn't move the mouse past a certain point on the screen, so the mouse was responding, it just couldn't move past maybe an inch on the left side of the screen. I tried restarting with the mouse and keyboard unplugged too, no dice. Then finally I decided to just re-install the leopard operating system. I put the disc in, go through all the steps, and when it asks me where i want to install Mac OS X, there's nothing to select. Where an icon for the hard drive should be it is just blank. I tried clicking the blank space to refresh it and nothing happened. Also, I read online that usually waiting fixes it, I left it on overnight and still nothing has popped up. Also, I've already tried resetting the PRAM, and nothing happened. If anybody can help me fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Either how to install Leopard again or how to start it up without the flashing question mark. Thanks!

    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
