Red exclamation point on desktop icons

After upgrading to Photoshop CS5 I noticed that many of my desktop icons (jpgs, pdfs) had a red circle with a white exclmation point and the system is running slow.  I googled this and the only posts I could find relate to computers that use backup software, which I don't.  I am posting it here because I noticed it right after the cS5 upgrade, although I cannot otherwise be sure the two are related.  Ever heard of this?  I made a little screen grab which follows.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop on Mavericks logs out and has a red exclamation point.

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with OS Mavericks on it. Since then, I can log into Creative Cloud desktop with no issues and use the app. But once my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up, I will have a red exclamation point on the icon in the menu bar. If I click on the icon in the menu bar it will tell me the problem is with apps and if I click on apps it will eventually update and the red exclamation point will go away. But sometimes, when I click on the creative cloud icon in the menu bar it will say there is a problem with the connection and allows me to retry which will eventually get me back in or sometimes it will have just logged me out and I have to log back in.
    It never did this before, I was able to just log in once and it would always be logged in and no network problems.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    I had similiar problem and i just stopped using Creative Cloud desktop. There's lot of other issues with that application that cannot be fixed since July.
    I doubt that this application was created by some who ever worked on Mac. That's why i would recommend patience and disabling launching at start.

  • Exclamation point and folder icon appears on iPod screen

    I have a 20g Ipod and I am having lots of problems. Whenver I press a button it shows the apple logo followed by an exclamation point and folder icon. It ends with sounds of a clicking or HD whirring. Also, when I plug it into the computer, itunes prompts me with a message saying "Itunes has detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used with Itunes". When I chose the option to restore it, it begins, but does not finish restoring it. It then gives me a message: "The Ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unkown error occured (1418)". I also tried to restore by doing the following, but this failed as well:
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
    Thank You

  • Log and Transfer: Red exclamation points are attacking our project!

    We are shooting a documentary with a HVX and a Firestore in 720p/24p. Every shoot, we move the files from the Firestore to the hard drive. We then log and transfer off of the drive to a G-Raid scratch disk.
    Up until the other day, we were having no problems "logging and transferring". For some reason, we are now able to play and label the clip, but when we go to "add clip to queue" a red exclamation point keeps coming up.
    This is inclusive of old and new footage. I have tried to change the length of the file names as well as restart Final Cut as well as the drives.
    I know you guys are much smarter than we are, so we are looking forward to your wisdom.

    #36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
    Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
    Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
    What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
    ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
    ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.

  • Just got a new iPad but can't get it to do the text messaging.  Every time I put in a "To" address it shows a red exclamation point and says the name/number is not registered.  How do I register the people I want to text?

    I just bought a new iPad and can't get the text messaging to work.  When I try to address the message a red exclamation point appears and says the person is not registered.  How do I register them?  They are already in my contacts list & they all are active in my iPhone text messaging.

  • Why does a red exclamation point show up next to my outgoing text?, why does a red exclamation point show up next to my outgoing text?

    why does a red exclamation point keep showing up next to my outgoing text?

    It means you are trying to communicate with a person who the device cannot reach.  Are you using a phone number or email to reach this person?  Check your settings for iMessage and make sure that "Send as SMS" is ON.

  • Red exclamation point when booting

    My Apple Watch, 38mm sport, displays a red exclamation point. It seem frozen after I tried to re-associate it with my iPhone. I've been struggling the whole day to reboot it pressing both digital crown and side button, following instructions on www.apple.com/help/watch. Am I lucky enough to have to ask Apple to ship me a replacement in 2 months? Any help would be highly appreciated.
    BTW: I'm not the only one encountering the same issue. Do you guys form Apple looking into this? I don't believe this is related to hardware.

    I spoke to a senior Apple tech named Patrick the other night because, after setting up my iPhone as a new phone (iPhone 6, as the genius in the Walnut Creek store suggested when I ran into GPS problems with the Watch)- I could not pair back to my watch.
    Patrick was really great, walked me though everything (the "reset" at the bottom of the Settings -> General on the Watch - duh!); the way you can un-pair the Apple Watch (iPhone Watch app ->My Watch -> Apple Watch -> unpair Apple Watch, which is probably what I should have done first) - the tip that if you're talking to someone on the LTE network and trying to pair (as I was with him), it may not work as well as if you're just on wireless (he called back on my husband's phone)
    Great tech assistance, I'd call them in a heartbeat.  Faster than heading back to the store!

  • How Can I Remove the Red Exclamation Point on SMS text messages?

    I have a blackberry 9300. I receive text messages that has red exclamation point even though my messages are not on high priority. is there any way I can fix this? Please help. Thank you!

    Are you using the "Reflections" theme in your slide show? Then the mirrored reflection is built in and you cannot remove it. It is part of the design. Pick a different theme, if you do not like this feature.

  • I have iPhoto 09 The cover of my book is cropped is perfect on screen but when I print it out it's cropped badly. There is a red exclamation point on the screen image but I have created 5 books and never had this problem. HELP

    I am using iPhoto 9 to make a book. The cover of my new book looks perfect on screen, but when print it out before I have it published the cropping is all off. There is also a red exclamation point on the cover image. I have checked and rechecked but to no avail. Can you help? Bill Perlmutter

    That red exclamation point can mean either that the image on the cover is below the resolution limit that Apple has set for photos to make good prints or that there is missing text in a text box or there's some text that has overflowed the text box.
    The resolution limit that is set in iPhoto for photos is 110 dpi, i.e. the PrintWarningImageDPI value in this screenshot of iPhoto's preference file:
    Click to view full size
    It's not an absolute thing.  Many have reported getting books that had photos with the low resolution warning indicator and it was perfectly satisfactory. 
    But check to see if it's an image or text warning.

  • How to find files when my purchased and downloaded songs have red exclamation point and say file cannpot be found?

    I recently replaced my PC and when I attempted to reinstall Itunes and sync to my Ipod Classic, many purchased songs and downloaded songs now have a red exclamation point to their left and a windo appears saying that the file cannot be found.  How do I locate these files? Thanks!

    Normally by default  iTunes library files are in "My Document/My music/iTunes/Itunes Music" for earlier iTunes version. but the newer iTunes put it in a new folder "iTunes Media" instead of "iTunes Music" You can also search a music file name that you downlloaded and see where that folder is.
    If you have transfered the old PC iTunes library files to your new PC, you still need to tell the new iTunes, where they are located. If your old PC iTunes is earlier than iTunes 9, then you got to move it from ../iTunes Music to ../iTunes Media folder. and point iTunes to where all your files are.
    See this support link.

  • I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD. Sometimes it looks like its searching and other times I get a red exclamation point.

    I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD 2. Most of the time it looks like its searching or I get a red exclamation point.
    I was only able to send 2 texts. Help!

    iPads cant send regular texts - only through iMessage meaning that the other device will need to have iMessage too.
    If you can't send a text that means the other person does not have iMessage and iMessage is only installed on iOS devices or OSX Lion

  • Exclamation Point & Duplicate App Icon - iTunes App Screen

    I just did a sync of my iPhone 3G. In iTunes in the Apps screen on my PC some of the App icons have been duplicated and there is an exclamation point in front of them. So:
    1) What does this mean?
    2) How do I correct it with minimum muss & fuss?
    **Please note: due to previous bad encounters with 0S4 I *will not* be installing it, so please don't suggest that. Furthermore, since iTunes 9.2 will not function properly without OS4, I am using iTunes 9.1.1. (See my previous post regarding issues with iTunes 9.2 & my 3G iPhone.)
    Thanks,
    ~TT~

    Right clicking on the duplicate with the exclamation point brings up a pull down menu that says:
    - Get Info
    - Show in Windows Explorer
    - Delete
    Get info = The Application "name of application" could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" It then brings up the location if you continue on.
    Meanwhile it now seems that MOST of the duplicate App icons have this duplicate with the !, while a couple just seem to be duplicates.
    Again, I'm wondering as to the cause of this & how to correct it without having to do major stuff.
    Thanks,
