Question Mark Upper Left Hand Corner

What does a big question mark mean in the upper left hand corner of finder window? Appears on all my finder windows. I click on it and it says "The Item Can't Be Found." Very odd. I do use a lot of different external drives for backups, etc etc. Not sure it if is trying to reference one of those or what........??

I think MacJack is thinking it is in the Finder window. However, do you mean it is on the toolbar of a Finder window? If so, haku64 has the right method of removing it. But, if it is a tool you want to repair, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar… Either drag back the standard toolbar, or replace the malfunctioning item with a new one. You can then just drag the ? one out of the toolbar.

    No, you will have to replace the switch or do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store.

  • What does the question mark in upper left hand corner mean

    what does the question mark in upper left hand corner mean

    Do you mean on a thumbnail in the organizer?That means that organizer has lost track of the original file. Usually that happens when you've done something with the photo outside of organizer, like moved it or deleted the original. If you want organizer to be able to keep track of your photos, you need to do all moving and deleting from within the organizer, not in Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder.

  • Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

    My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
    Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

  • I'm having trouble formatting a book I'm writing using Pages. I need to put my name and book title in the upper left hand corner of EACH page- opposite the page number. How do I do this?

    I'm having trouble formatting a book I'm writing using Pages. I need to put my name and book title in the upper left hand corner of EACH page- opposite the page number. How do I do this?

    And if this is the new IOS Pages v2 (or the older IOS Pages 1.7.2), you click the wrench icon and then Document Setup. Tap the document header to edit it, and apply the same instructions that I gave previously for OS X Pages v5.
    The process for Pages ’09 v4.3 is slightly different. You click the Header, and enter your document title and your name as previously described. You will need Menu > View > Show Ruler. Click once in the ruler at the first or second mark after the 7 inch (roughly 18cm). This will set a tab. Now position the insertion mark behind your title and tab once to the mark you set. Now you can Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers ...

  • I seem to have lost the red, yellow and green dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close  or minimize the page.

    I seem to have lost the red, green, and yellow dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close or minimize the page.  How can I get them back?

    You may have to try a general OS X troubleshooting process to see if the issue goes away by doing this...
    Have you tried: starting the computer in SafeBoot mode, with shift key held down; a login screen should appear after a time, and then the regular desktop. At this point, locate Disk Utility in utilities folder, and run 'repair disk permissions' on the startup volume, usually the name given the hard disk drive as it appears on desktop. After Disk Utility is finished the permissions repair, restart the computer normally.
    ...The iTunes player has free support only through the duration of the hardware product's complementary or AppleCare extended plan coverages, so though you can download a newer version, that is not the same as free support for an issue. However, the iTunes Store or App Store has a different factor for their product.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    There is an iTunes area in Apple Support Community discussions for more topics like this; except for when they involve a hardware product where an OS X is involved. If your computer is NOT a powerPC (an 'intel'-mac) the topic would more naturally need to be posted where that hardware and later supported OS X version topics get seen. So that is why one asks 'on what Mac running what version...' instead of writing four paragraphs in a wide angle reply. The details about your iMac and the OS X say more; without them, more questions arise.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hi,
    Enabling / disabling the '''Menu Bar''' via '''View''' ('''Alt '''+ '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' alternates between the Firefox drop down box and the menu bar. To temporarily view the menu bar after the Firefox drop down box is activated, press '''Alt''' or '''F10'''.

  • I lost that orange rectangular Firefox button that used to be in the upper left hand corner of my screen? How do I get it back?

    What else can I say? I used to have an orange rectangular box or button with Firefox on it, in the upper left hand corner of my screen. When I clicked on it a drop down pad appeared. IT'S GONE!

    Right click menu bar, untick "menu bar" in the options that you see.

  • How to put a text in upper left hand corner for all the application?

    I want to put a text in upper left hand corner for all the pages on application?
    I don't want to put one page by another.
    Thank you.

    If you put it in a region on page zero, it will be inherited by all pages of the application.. Literally in the upper left corner? Even the login page? You could also modify the template page that your using from your theme, so that all pages would have this attribute, whichever you are more comfortable with..
    Thank you,

  • Why can't I open pdf file?  Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't

    Why can't I open pdf file?  Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either

    I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
    I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
    The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....
    Please.. someone... help!!!

  • I can't open a document just has an x in upper left hand corner

    I can not open a received document.  All I get is a blank page with a small x in the upper left hand corner of the page.  When I click on the x I get a blank blue page.  Can you help me with this problem.

    The symptom you describe sounds like you are using IE10 or IE11 on 64-bit Windows 7 or 8.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

  • The flash player only shows a tiny portion of a video in the upper left hand corner of the window

    Why is the player window not displaying the video thru the whole open flash window and only uses a tiny portion in upper left hand corner to play the downloaded video??

    Hi, you can go to youtube and as soon as the video starts to play, right click and then uncheck the hardware acceleration on the Display Setting. Also being recommended is to update your grapic and video drivers to the latest version.
    This has helped other users experiencing this problem.
    Thanks,

  • My iphone 5 has the word searching in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I can connect to the net , but no phone service. What is possibly wrong?

    WHy cant i get phone service? The word " searching " has been in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I have internet service but no phone service. Does any one have any thoughts or suggestions?

    When you say you have Internet service, are you connected to wifi? Have you tried a reset on the phone? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. The phone will reboot. After it starts, see what happens. Do you have a valid SIM in the phone, one that is activated through a carrier? Have you contacted the carrier to see what they say, since phone service is a carrier responsibility?
