Red triangle/exclamation point on text thread
About a week ago, when I'd open up the menu listing all of my text threads with various people, I noticed a red triangle/exclamation point icon showing up next to the name of one person. A few days ago, I began experiencing trouble opening up this particular thread; I would just get the "loading" message. My friend has been able to send me texts, I just can't open them. Any idea what this might be and why it seems to be affecting only one text thread? Thanks!!
I ended up calleing tech support and the problem was that I had not deleted any of my texts and I didn't have enough space. I deleted old messages and the problem is solved.

When I try to address an e-mail to an address in my iPad's Directory, the name comes up inside a pink block with a red circled exclamation point at the right hand end. "Clicking" on the red circle, gives me a pop-up saying the address is not registered for an iMessage. How do I register my Directory addresses for an iMessage??

How do get rid of the gray triangle/exclamation point
I have iphoto 9.1.5. Recently I have had trouble accessing some of my older photos. When I go to photos and double click on a photo to make it bigger the photo flashes quickly and is replaced by the gray triangle with an exclamation point. The photo is visible in the bar at the bottom or top of the screen and if you go into the Master folder the picture is there and will open with Preview. It appears that iphoto cannot locate the photo. Thus far I have done the following:
Started iphoto holding down the command option and have repaired, rebuilt the library and thumb nails.
Used iphoto library manager and created a new library. Of the 9764 pictures 4426 did not get copied with an error message stating that they could not be copied because they could not be found in the original library
I am not sure how long this problem has been an issue as it effects older pictures but I suspect something happend at the last upgrade to 9.1.5
How can I get iphoto to recognize all of the photos and get rid of the gray triangle? Help would be much appreciated as I seem to exhausted the suggestions I can find on line.You know have two Libraries.
A is damaged
B is the Rebuilt.
You have to recover the files from A and import them to B
To Recover: Go to your Pictures Folder and find iPhoto Library A there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed. Find the files in the Msters Folder. Drag them out of the Library.
Launch iPhoto. It will open Library B. Import the files to it.

How Can I Repair the Triangle/Exclamation Point Issue?
I have repaired and then Rebuilt my database only to have the same triangle come up while totally putting different Event dates around my photos.
This is Apple for crying out loud. This monumentally time consuming answer which doesn't work should not be coming from Apple.
How can I fix this issue once and for all?
I also have trouble dragging and dropping my Albums in the order I want them.
Both these issues are unacceptable coming from a company such as Apple that charge so much for their devices, etc.Moving albums is a strange issue that I've not seen and many othr have not but many have
Try creating a folder and putting your albums in it - some people have foud that to help - you also can use folders to reduce the number of albums you are dealing with while organizaing - no idea what you have but as an eampe if you ha an album for every town you visited on vacation it woudl be hard to manage - if you made a vacation folder with country folders in it an then town folders in the counrty folders all of a sudden you are dealing with a much more managable set of data to organize
I have not seen a definative answer other than using folders to help
As to IPLM - almost all of the time it doess resolve things - but even then there are people who had to start over (which is not quiet as bad as it sounds - but certainly not great)
The real answer is a good backup so when there is a problem rather than cure it you can go back to a good tiem and move forward from there

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.
Please Get the iPad User Manual for iOS 5.

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.

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'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 -
I have always about this, as I've seen these more than once along multiple versions of Firefox. I'm well aware that the lock means the site is 'verified' though I don't know exactly what that entails. More recently, I've noticed that many websites either have the lock or else the globe with the markings on it which says that the connection to the site in question is 'unencrypted', but I don't know what that means. Sometimes this will change between pages on the same website. What I find stranger is that sometimes a a single page on one site will go from the lock to the triangle with the exclamation point in it. Now from what I can tell, it means something similar to the globe, as they seem to both state the same basic thing, that the website doesn't supply identity information and the connection isn't encrypted. What I want to know is how and why this happens, and sometimes even while still on the same page. I've encountered this on three different versions of firefox. The 24 esr, 28.0, and version 34. (Not all on one computer, mind. Though I believe it's possible to have multiple instances of Firefox on the same machine as I know someone mentioned being able to do that on another thread and I'd love to know how that's done if anyone can answer it.) These versions of firefox were on 8.1, and two distinct versions of XP from two different machines. Is this an odd glitch, or is something else going on there and if so, how does one fix it? So far it's happened to me twice on my own computer, once on a fiction website, and as of tonight, once on youtube. On the former, the switch happened on a single page, while on Youtube it changed from one page on the search bar to the actual channel of something in question and back again. Closing out the tab and doing a quick clearing of history seemed to work fine on youtube. The fiction website, not so much, though I haven't seen the triangle thing come back again, as everything there seems to be the globe. So far anyway. However it has come up before on various computers in the past that I've used with various firefox versions, as I've said. Can anyone explain what this is and how to fix it if it is indeed a problem?

<blockquote>
The green padlock means your connection is HTTPS (encrypted) and the certificate identifies a particular site operator. Certificate issuers demand special verification for the Extended Validation (EVSSL) certificate that generates a green padlock.
The gray padlock means your connection is HTTPS (encrypted) but the certificate cannot establish the operator of the site one way or another. No special identification is required to get this certificate.
The exclamation point triangle symbols may indicate that the connection is partially encrypted -- some content is the page was sent over an open connection -- or recently it may indicate that the site uses such easily cracked encryption that you should treat it as providing no protection.
And the point of all this is?! Simply this: if your web traffic is ''not encrypted'', it can be read by others. That's why login pages and sites dealing in your personal or sensitive information should always show a padlock in the address bar. If it's not there, be concerned.
If a normally secure site suddenly shows a mixed content icon, try reloading the page (Ctrl+r or to re-request fresh copies of cached files use Ctrl+Shift+r).
</blockquote>
As it happens, I have tried the refresh thing. It doesn't always work on sites where this sudden changeover occurs. The weird thing is that, again, this happens at random and I've seen it occur over multiple versions of firefox, past and present, so it's not just relegated to just the three main ones I have most recently seen it on.
Now what makes this even stranger is that I have seen a few pages on the fiction website (www.fimfiction.net to be specific) where the grey padlock at the very least shows up on a page, but then suddenly will go to the triangle. Not all of these pages have mixed content or even any content at all beyond simple text. A few have pictures or clickable links, but I usually avoid clicking on the links if I don't know and trust the website. More recently though, the near-entirety of the site has gone to the globe, when before it was the grey padlock. I think the one thing that remains padlocked is its login section. Is it just that the website needs to update its certificates? If so, I can probably just send the site runner a message about that.
I dunno what to do with youtube when it shows up though other than just closing out the tab it's on, clearing my browser history, and reopening the site. It happens rarely with youtube, but it's not unheard of, and it follows along every page on the site once it pops up in one page at all until I shut down that tab. And this is a multiple version thing. These are the two sites where I encounter the issue the most as it's one of only a handful of websites I go to aside from an image gallery which is typically very good about safety. Or as much as it can be, at any rate. The only other site I frequent, www.fanfiction.net (probably the oldest fiction website still active today, and not to be confused with fimfiction) has the grey padlock at all times, aside from when I log into the site. I've used the https: prefix most times when going to a site the first time, and firefox has typically then used that prefix anytime I just enter the general website address in the URL bar, but sometimes it doesn't. Is that partially responsible for why I have seen the padlock switch to the triangle sometimes? I know the link that cor-el posted says that by default from version 16 up, mixed content is blocked by default and I don't think I've ever touched that in the options section of the tools, so what exactly do I do here? Just ignore it, or just keep hitting refresh or what? It doesn't happen all the time, after all, but it does still get annoying. -
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.

It started a few days ago. I was looking through my photos. I could check them when they were smaller - as soon as I enlarged them - screen turned black, a grey triangle with an exclamation point appeared in the middle. It is not changing every picture - just some. How do I get rid of this problem? What caused this in the first place? Any help would be appreciated.
Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I am having a hard time viewing some of my pictures or event file in my iPhoto library. Most of my pictures look blank with a black background and a triangle with an exclamation point in the center of the screen. Is there a way I can fix this issue?
Are they RAW image files and not JPG files? iPhoto does not support all types of RAW files. Get a Real Image Viewing/Editing/Cataloging program which iPhoto is not.
