Safari 7.0 shows blue box with ? instead of actual picture

Hi,
I upgraded my macbook air late 2013 to mavericks and since then, when i open some site like Ebay i dont get to see pictures and i get blue box with ? mark inside.
Any suggestions?!?!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I get blue box with question mark for pictures in my email

    so it was working fine before
    and the problems just appeared few mins ago
    after my wifi connection disconnects and I turned off the wifi and restarted it
    and now all of sudden it won't show pictures in my email like every single email
    i turned ipad off and on but still not working
    anyone know how to deal with this problem

    I have always left "load remote images" turned off.
    If you get some junk mail (aka SPAM), when you view that email the images will load. The spammers can use this fact to determine that your email address is valid and will add it to their list of know good email addresses.
    Is there an option to "Load Images" for each message? (Awaiting delivery of my 64GB 3G iPad).

  • System Center 2012 Cfg Mgr SP1 CU3 - Some Reports show blank box with no results (perhaps where a graphic would be)

    Just migrated from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3.  All seems to be working fairly well but when I run certain reports (especially in the EndPoint Protection) I get blank reports with a box where possibly a graphic should be shown.  No error given.  An
    example would be the report named "Antimalware overall status and history".  It just shows several boxes with perhaps a small picture icon in the top left of the box.    This occurs on several different reports.  But I do
    have results with other reports.  Any ideas?

  • Iphone 3g S viewing email pics are showing as blue boxes with question mark

    I am trying to view an e-mail on my iphone 3g S and the pics are not displaying. Instead little blue boxes with question marks are showing. Any ideas on why this is happening?

    The pictures couldn't be loaded due to one or more reasons. Some common reasons are: your email server timed out, the photo was taking too long to load, you had poor signal strength, the file was corrupted, the download failed, or the photo couldn't be displayed because the file type wasn't supported.

  • Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix

    Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
    That did not happen before.
    It happened only on certain pages with Safari, like the google news feed which did not display pix.
    However, this new mail problem is really disturbing.
    I checked Little Snitch and port 80 is open.
    I checked java pref.
    I am at a loss.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
    That indicates that your Mail preferences are setup to not display remote images in email messages. You should check Mail->Preferences->Viewing and make surre the box to 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is checked.
    I checked java pref.
    Java has nothing to do with Mail, or displaying images in it or any browser.

  • Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image?  It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

    Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image?  It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

    The question mark in the box, if it looks like this:   means that safari cannot find the linked image.  On windows machines, this would be the equivilant of  the small "page-with-a-red-X" logo that appears in the same scenario.  Check the reference to the image and make sure that the image is in the correct location, and is accessable by the reference.

  • Blue box with question mark instead of pictures

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble seeing images in emails that are sent to me, they appear as a small blue box with a question mark in it, I'm new to mac, so I don't know much about formats and such. I tried sending one from mail to my hotmail and used Safari to open it, the picture was fine, then I forwarded it to my gmail account on Mac's Mail, and it was also fine. So why can I see some and not others?
    Another issue is the time it takes to send an email, it takes about 1-3 minutes to send an email, even though it's less than 1MB in size, is this normal? My hotmail sends them quite quickly.
    Thanks

    Usually it means that the image/file is in a format your browser or mail plugins cannot read. There are a few Windows proprietary formats you cannot read with a Mac (unless you're running Windows of course); there have also been problems reported with images being sent by an AOL account that would not show, so there could be several reasons. You might want to check with the sender and ask what format the image/file is - readable formats are the popular .pdf and .jpg (among many others). Sometimes there are also problems with PC's sending attachments to a Mac; in Mail, there is an option to check "send Windows friendly attachments" - I bet there is no such option in Windows.... I've had this problem off and on and I attribute it to the fact that I choose to be in the less than 10% world's population with a Mac.

  • I get blue boxes with "?" marks in them instead of words

    I have tried everything I have read about. If I go to the apple website and check out the Battery Recal page at the bottom, I get those blue boxes instead of words. Pages won't build correctly also.
    I've removed the com.apple Safari from my user/preferences list and put it on my desktop. I have taken the Safari app. from my husbands computer. I have reinstalled Quicktime. I have run out of solutions.

    Hello susie:
    The blue boxes with "?" indicates that the page is not completely loading in a proper fashion.
    Clear the Safari cache
    Trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
    Remove any Safari add-ons or "enhancers."
    What sort of connection do you have to the Internet? Connections/ISP problems could also be a root cause of your problem.
    This is a general troubleshooting article - some of which may be relevant:

  • I keep getting an intermittent error on web pages where a blue box with a question mark appears instead of pictures.  For example Facebook and Zappos would load normally on one visit, but if I visit other websites and return I get the blue box.

    I keep getting an intermittent error on web pages where a blue box with a question mark appears instead of pictures.  For example Facebook and Zappos would load normally on one visit, but if I visit other websites and return I get the blue box instead of pictures. If I restart the problem will go away temporarly. However, normally returnes in time.

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Appearance tab. Tick the box next to: Display images when the page opens.
    If that box is already ticked, from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems loading images, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
    If you still have problems, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • Safari Image turns to Tiny Blue Box with Question Mark

    Hi all,
    I get tiny blue question mark a lot in Safari.
    Many Website where i visit almost everyday, the images appear as "tiny blue box with question marks". My Firefox also fails to load the images and had the same problem with "tiny blue box with question marks". Before every site work fine. I have been searching through Google and many others search for almost 12 hrs for a solution to solve this problem but none of it really works out. Basically, I have tried everything, I just can't find and still not able to fix this issue in Safari and Firefox.
    Is this a Safari 3.0.4/Firefox 2.0.0.9 problem, or is there some setting on my Mac wrong or is it a new virus recently?
    If anyone has any solution to solve this problem, an very much appreciated...

    Hi guys, I am also in Bangkok and working (I use the term loosely) with True. Like you, the images have not been loading over the weekend and I have been trying to track this down. I went through all the motions of restarting, clearing caches, etc., but that was no good.
    On Saturday morning, I went into my office where I have access to another network (I don't usually use it as it is a bit flaky), but when I tried that, the images did load.
    Back at home, I tried again and the blue squares reappeared. I checked some of my own web pages which also had the squares, but only selectively (images in the same directory were OK; those that were accessed via internal links were not). Using FTP I checked the website: images were all OK as were the links on the pages themselves.
    As an experiment, I uploaded one image. When I tried the page again, the image appeared. I then uploaded both of the affected directories and the pages were back to normal after a couple of reloads. What this indicates to me is that the cache, either at True or upstream, has a problem.
    I do think however that it is True as the other server I used would also access the CAT caches and they seemed OK.
    A series of notes to the True helpdesk might jolt them into some action on Monday morning after they have had their starter coffee. I have had some success in the past with [email protected]
    All the best.

  • Some photos do not populate in Safari, only blue box with question mark

    Examples: In Facebook and Pinterest some of the photos are showing, others just have a small blue box with a question mark in the middle.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Blue box with a question mark means that images are not available now.
    Servers storing those images may be down.
    Best.

  • Getting blue boxes with question marks instead of pictures in ipad 2

    I am getting blue boxes with question marks instead of pictures on my ipad 2. I do not have Wi-Fi.

    I am getting these question marks on many web sites. I thought it probably had to do with no Wi-Fi but I didn't have this problem until the last month or so and I've had the ipad since December.

  • Apple mail not showing PDFs - just a blue box with question mark

    For some weird reason my Mail is now showing PDFs as blue box with a "?" in it... not the PDF icon..

  • Why do I get a blue box with ? In Safari with my iPad?

    Why do I get a blue box with ? In Safari with my iPad?  It appears to be where pictures should be.  Very annoying when trying to read through an explanation of something and I get this dang blue box.

    It's usually some graphics element that the iPad can't handle. Maybe it's a flash image, maybe it has another protocol that the iPad just can't display. NO way to say for sure without viewing the same page on a computer then checking the file type.

  • Have trial version of lightroom images display in library and 'before' in developer, but can't display full image to develop.  Shows as a blue box with a white X on it.

    I have downloaded and installed Lightroom for a 30 day trial. Library works fine, but when I try to edit images in Develop, I can't see the full size image just a blue box with a white X on it.  If I switch on to Before & After mode, the image displays fine in the before, but still just blue box in the 'after'.  Can't find any answer to this anywhere!  Please help as my trial days are running out.
