Question Mark with Blue Squares for pictures in Safari 3 Beta

Every time i go to...
Welcome to GMail/Log-In
which is gmail.com... I get tiny blue boxes with question marks in them, and this only occurs in safari. I also use firefox sometimes and it works perfectly fine. they are not even big pictures, just tiny icons.
I have looked at several forums from apple.com/support as well as googling this issue and have tried reseting safari, unchecking always and never cookies settings but still have the problem.
Can anyone please help me?!?
THANKS

Hi,
What version of Safari are using? As far as I'm aware Safari 3 left beta a long time ago.
Either way, try changing your DNS settings to those provided by OpenDNS to see if it helps or not:

Question Marks inside blue square

Hi all,
I'm trying the Safari beta version for Windows XP. It looks great but I'm experiencing some strange behaviours surfing the web. Even if I installed all suggested plugin, on some pages question marks inside blue square are rendered. Even on these forum pages, the first two columns of post list show question marks. I've the same problem on www.repubblica.it
Any idea?
Thanks
Stefano

Hi,
as example take this web site: http://www.repubblica.it
As you suggested, I clicked on one these squares and in the address bar I read this:
http://oas.repubblica.it/RealMedia/ads/click_nx.ads/repubblica.it/nz/home/119055 7573@Top,TopLeft,TopRight,Right,Left,Middle1,Position1,Left1,Left2,Right1,Right2 !Middle1
It seems to deal with some real media application (some ads are missing on the web page) but I've all Real plugins installed...

Safari cannot find the server and question mark in blue square

Hi
I consistently have problems with safari displaying the message safari cannot find the server. The version I have is 5.1.8 and I installed a security update today (23.3.13) hoping it would solve the problem. After refreshing the page a couple of times or restarting safari everything works as normal but this is an ongoing issue. I also have problems with images loading on sites. They appear as blue squares with question marks. I have tried most things people have said on the net but nothing is working.
Please help!
Thanks

HI aad1612,
Try deleting the safari plist by foloowing these instructions:
Close Safari
Open a Finder window
Click on "Go" in the upper status bar
Click and HOLD the alt/option key (Library should appear in the above list)
Keep holding the alt/otion key and click on Library (this will open a new window)
Open the Preference folder (NOT Preference Panes)
Look for com.apple.Safari.plist
Right mouse client to move this file to trash
Empty the trash
Open Safari again and hopefully your issue will be reoslved.
Good Luck

Pictures not displaying...question marks with blue boxes

This is occuring on myspace. I've recently made the switch from PC to Mac and I've never had this problem. I've found similar threads and changed settings under "MIME" in Quicktime and never resolved! Help!

u can go to safari, preferences, then security, and check the first three icons under web content. i think that should help

Question marks in blue boxes

Hi. I'm having a hard time with images not loading in Mail and Safari -- getting question marks in blue boxes instead. I have tried emptying cache, refreshing page, checking and rechecking my settings, can't even download the image manually. Still no luck. Mac OS 10.4.7, Safari 2.0.4, Airport, cable connection (Comcast). Please help, as many of these images are important for me to see.
Thanks so much.

Hi crawfordse6, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
For Safari:
Preferences / Appearance / Check on "Display Images when page opens."
For Mail:
Preferences / Viewing / Check on "Display remote images in HTML messages."
If that works for you, consider stars as discussed in the bottome portion of the Apple email notification you received. That's how to do "thanks" in these forums.
Come back. The Forums are a great place to learn. L&L = Lurk & Learn.

Where is your Calculator application located? Before you can put it into the Dock you need to remove the Question Mark. Select it with the mouse and drag it out of the until it "poofs" away. Now locate Calculator and drag its icon into the Dock.

I really appreciate your help.

You are giving viewers the full title on your web page.
You could cut your files names like < Beethovens_Piano_Concerto_no._2_in_B-flat_major%2C_op._19_-_i._Allegro_conbrio.html >
to something like BthvnPC2BfM.
Publish to a folder and look in the "Media" folder to see that all your files are there.
A better way to provide a download is to ZIP the music file and link to it via "Link to: A file" in the Link Inspector.
Type "Download" over the file name that appears and select your rollover colors and U or not in the format page.

HT4718 I have nothing on my Mcintosh HD after trying to install Mavericks. I did save a recovery copy of files however this was also lost. All I now have is a file with a question mark with nothing else happening. What should I do?

Apple recently sent a message asking me if I would like to upgrade to Mavericks which was free. I considered installing after saving a copy of my HD to a WD external drive. I proceeded with the instalation however when it was time to reboot the programme the computer displayed a message that it could not process the request due to errors with the hard drive. The computer then requested that i save a copy and the verify disk and repair disk which i followed and the computer would not repair due to an error. At which pioint I did some research and was told by the IMac to push shift when it starts to enter disk utility and repair the Mcintosh HD. I did as asked however the computer would still not install with Mavericks.
So after many attempts of trying to start over, I was prompted to erase the Mcintosh HD and reboot using the saved copy. At this point all data was lost and all that is left on my computer is a file with a question mark with no way of restoring the HD drive. Could anyone help please?

It sounds like your HD may have died.
If you could answer a few questions it may help figure out what you should do next:
What OS did you have on your computer before you tried to upgrade to mavericks?
Did your computer originally come with installer disks?

Question Mark in Blue Box with Pictures

I recently have had a problem viewing pictures on myspace. It will show me some but not all and the pictures that don't come up have a Blue Square with a Question Mark in it. I have searched the whole discussions page but none of the answers have helped me yet. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Oh I noticed it in Firefox also. Thank You.

Hi
When you select the "Mime Settings" button at the bottom of the Advanced panel, another panel opens. Here's an image of it:
Any category with a check mark indicates all items within that category are selected. To see individual items you would click on the small triangle next to the category name.
Any category with a - mark indicates some items are selected in the category
No check would indicate nothing is selected.
Specific to the Miscellaneous Category, note only Quicktime Html is selected. Make sure your panel setting is the same. If you change any setting select "OK" to close the panel. Otherwise, select "cancel".
Then restart Safari and try the site again.

Nothing fixes "missing plugin" or missing pics (replaced with blue square/question mark). I've tried all the suggestions!

I have been looking months for a solution to the "missing plugin" and missing attachments (replaced by blue square and question mark). Yes, I have "display remote images" checked. Yes, I have clicked on "default" for Java preferences. There is only one set of preferences and one "Default" button in my Java Pref folder. I have downloaded and reinstalled Java, which didn't change anything. I have deleted Apple.Mail.plist. This didn't fix it. I have repaired disk permissions. This didn't fix it either. I have tried everything but reinstalling Mail. Can anyone provide a permanent fix for this problem?
Also, Mail keeps asking for my passwords for all accounts!
This is my second iMac (27" i5) and it has not been a good experience - very strange behavior. HD is very noisy, won't stay asleep, can't wake up when it is asleep - have to restart and magic mouse won't stay connected.

move all and every icons to the app bar and then reboot it

Embedded images replaced with blue square/question mark

Guys,
Am new to Macs so it's probably user error however, I regularly receive mails with embedding images in them. On my PC I had they came in fine however on my new Mac all the images get stripped out of the e-mail and saved as attachments. This means all the image place holders in the mail show as small blue squares with a white question mark in them and doing quick look on the attachments shows the correct images!
Is there a config setting that stops mail stripping the images off as attachments when they're "in" an e-mail??
Hope someone can help as this is bugging me now!!
Thanks,
Mark

Don't know if this suggestion will help but..........
I experienced problems with attaching images to outgoing mail. When I did this with my new iMac (OSX 10.4.11) the attached files were replaced with a blue square containing a question mark.
I browsed various forums and found quite a few references to the same problem and I tried all the various 'fixes' to no avail.
Earlier today I called Apple's tech support and spoke with Mujahid. He went through the problem, established that it was 'system wide' on my iMac and then he suggested that I trash Mail (v2.1.2) and re-install Mail (only Mail) from the disks that came with my Mac. I followed his instructions and after a shut down/restart cycle, Mail now functions correctly. When I attach an image file to an outgoing email, the file no longer appears as a blue square with ? mark but as the original image.
I wonder if the same sort of fix might resolve the problems with Safari?
Thanks to Mujahid.
Regards.

Blue question marks with new ATT U verse internet... why?

I just recently received my new modem and have hardwired my internet to my iMac OS X 10.7.3 w/ Lion and my Safari is 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)...
My problem is that some sites will either not open at all... referring to Safari can't find the server. And the others will have either blue boxes with questions marks *for pictures* or will open as a text page with no html... all left default.
I am sure this is an easy fix... for my computer ran just fine and is under 1yr old.
I am tired of being on the phone with tech support... so no more phone calls please!! :-)
If anyone has suggestions or know of this proplem with a fix... I would truly appreciate your help!!!
Thank you very much!!
jj
btw: i have cleared cache, updated adobe, reset my Safari, unplugged modem and restarted my computer. *sigh*

Thank you very much Linc Davis...
I used the Google public - IPv6 ending in 8844.
Works perfectly now!!

Box with a question mark inside instead of the picture or graphic

I notice when I open i-Tunes 10.1.1 or the App Store most everywhere there are supposed to be graphics or pictures there is just a box with a question mark inside?
I am up to date on all software, what do I need to do to get the graphics to come up?
Thanks

"OS X Lion includes a new feature called Lion Recovery that includes all of the tools you need to reinstall Lion, repair your disk, and even restore from a Time Machine backup without the need for optical discs."

If this doesn't work, it is likely that your HDD has failed, or is failing.
