The question mark inside the qt on websites

when im using safari and get onto a website, question marks appear inside the quicktime symbol. i tried downloading flipmac and it still does the same thing. i dont know whats going on. im still green on the computer and its doing my head in.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Good you installed Flip4Mac, as you'll need it to view "Windows Media Files".
Regarding the "?":
Click on the Apple icon in the upper left of the computer screen. This opens the "Apple Menu". Select "System Preferences". When the panel opens, select "Quicktime".
When the Quicktime Panel opens, select "advanced". Next, select "mime settings". In the ensuing panel is the Miscellaneous Box checked, or showing a "hyphen"? If so, uncheck the box. and close the panel window.
Restart Safari and try or any page where you encountered the "?".

How to remove the question mark from the dock

How do I remove the question mark from the dock. Nothing I tried works.

What have you tried?
What happens when you click on it? Does a menu appear?
Would you provide a screen shot (SHIFT COMMAND 4).
Ciao.

How to get rid of the question mark on the HP photosmart 7525screen?

I was printing from the HP Paviliondm4 computer to the Photosmart 7525 printer and that page on the computer screen just kept reprinting together with another printing job that I had. It was hard to get rid of it, but eventually it disappeared, the doubling of printing. The problem now is that "question mark" on the printer screen appears, that the "home symbol" on the printer screen has disappeared and can't get it back, as it was the normal screen when I first used the printer. What's the problem that I can't get that "question mark" off?

Hello @Lester7525,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you only have the question mark on your Photosmart 7525 and cannot get back the home screen back. I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference.
Try performing a hard reset on your printer for more than 60 seconds. Leave the printer turned on> Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
Also, you can try updating the firmware to see if this helps. I will provide the HP Website where you can download this here. (It may not work since this printer is in a different menu.) Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
I worked on behalf of HP.

After reinstalling mountain lion i got the question mark on the screen

hi everyone,
after reinstalling mac os x 10.8 from internet recovery, mac restarts itself which is normal.
but when it starts there is a question mark on a folder symbol on the gray screen.
what should i do?

The question mark appears when your computer can't find any bootable volume to start. This can be because of two reasons:
1. Your computer has forgotten the startup device.
2. The hard drive is damaged.
First of all, turn off your computer and turn it on again holding the Option (Alt) key, so you will see all the bootable volumes on the display. Choose the OS X volume and set up OS X as normal. Finally, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose your OS X volume

Can t find the question mark on the keyboard

hi
I ve just installed tiger 2 days ago and I can t type the question mark any more.. it gives me either this ^ (with shift) or § (with alt)..
any ideas..

gallinette:
Boot from the Tiger install disk.
Go to Utilities menu.
Launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in sidebar.
Select First Aid tab in main panel.
Click or Repair disk button.
If DU reports disk needs no repairs, quit DU.
If DU reports errors, click Repair again and again until DU reports disk repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
In this case, because of your keys being out of order, I believe Disk Warrior will do a better job.
While booted from internal HDD go to Home > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in sidebar.
Select First Aid tab in main panel.
Click or Repair Disk Permissiions button.
Quit DU.
Please don't hesitate to post back with further questions or comments, or to report on how procedure worked for you.
Good luck.

Why is there a little blue square box with the question mark in the middle of the place where my pictures are suppose to be??

I don't know why sometimes my pictures show up, and other times I get the little blue square with the question mark. Mostly it does that in gmail.
Can someone tell me what setting I need to use? I already reset Safari. Couldn't figure out what else to do.

Do you get a dialog box if you control click the missing image.

HT1711 What does the exclamation mark inside the circle mean? And how can I get rid of it?

Well i have over 1,000 songs on iTunes and I have an iPod Nano I would like to restore it with all those songs, only 30 of the songs restored. After that an exclamation mark insid a circle pops up right beside it, I click on it and it says "Could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I click 'Locate' and I find the song but then it just brings me back to the rest of the songs. I cannot play or restore the songs with the exclamation thing. I have tried several times, it still doesn't seem to work.

I think you're confusing restore with sync?
! means that your library can not find the original music file at its last stored location. It is possible this was removed, or deleted. Is the ! happening on your iTunes library on your desktop? If so, did you move anything wrong? Can you manually try to find that song located on your desktop?

What does the question mark and the semi-colon do in the following code

public void set(int index, Object value) {
    int j;          // loop index
    int newLength; // new size of array, if required
    if ( index < 0 )
      throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(index);
    else {
      if ( index >= objs.length ) {
        resize(index) ;
      } // end if
      if ( index >= size ) {
        size = index + 1;
      objs[index] = ( value == null ? NULL_OBJ : value ) ;   } // end else
} // end set

I get the question mark in the folder on start up, but if i connect the same hard drive via usb it works fine is the hard drive faulty?

but if i connect the same hard drive via usb it works fine is the hard drive faulty?

It sort of sounds like a startup disk issue. Have you tried starting up holding down the "Option" key? This should generally give you the option of which drive you want to boot from after a few seconds. Sometimes, especially if you had previously booted from an external drive (and it sounds as if you have) they system wants to continue booting from that drive. If it can't find it, it just sort of hangs there. Try holding down the "Option" key and see if your internal drive is shown as an option. If it is, select it. If you manage to get into the OS, go to System Preferences / Startup Disk and select the correct drive (even if there is only one drive shown, you should still select it).

How do I get the question marks off the albums?

How do I get iTunes to download my music after a purchase?

When you purchase, it downloads.

HT203254 What is the question mark when I turn on the power?

When I turn on the power, it doesn't work but the question mark appears. What am I supposed to do? (question mark inside of a file mark)

The question mark means the system can't find anything to boot from. See this Apple note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440?viewlocale=en_US
You didn't specify your operating system, so if you have Lion, go into Lion recovery by booting and holding the command and R keys down to access Disk Utiity to repair the disk.

I keep getting the little blue box with the question mark

Hi
I have 10.6.7 system software and my safari is 5.0.4
I have called apple twice with this problem already but nothing has helped except for short times.
I have reset safari about one dozen times and when I do I reset the top 7 items and I've emptied the cache in addition just in case. I've also taken my safari preference plist out of my library and trashed it.
And I've run disk utilities many times and restarted my computer. Each thing I do will solve the problem for a short time, even up to a day or more (or less) but then it comes back. For instance on Facebook maybe 1/8th of the thumbnail images have the little blue boxes with the question marks but most don't. I can't figure it out. Sometimes even the iPAD safari gets them too but my firefox doesn't show them and neither does Safari on my eMac.
Yesterday the question marks even showed up in ONE mailing on all 3 computers with the question marks in the blue boxes (meaning my iMac, my eMac and my iPad) but then it just all resolved after a few hours. This does sound like possibly a server problem except today it's happening (in Safari again) only on this iMac in Safari (not firefox) and not on the other two devices.
One more thing, since they changed my radio on the roof for my wireless internet, the 5.8 phone cuts out the internet when I use it. The problem has gotten worse since they changed the radio to the same frequency as the phone, it's a much faster service than the 2.4 radio. I don't know if this is related or not.
Thank you,
Martha

<Contact your ISP.
Is it possible, Carolyn, that this would mainly and almost always be only affecting the iMac and Safari in the iMac if it were a server issue? Right now Safari has more blue boxes with question marks than ever and the eMac and iPad have none. Firefox on the iMac has none also.
I should try a direct connection and by pass the router and see if that makes a difference.
I will contact them tomorrow but I want to get clear in my head first all the facts and possibilities.
Thanks!
Martha

FaceTime Icon Has A Question Mark Inside It

Does anyone know what it means when the icon for FaceTime has a question mark inside the icon? I also don't have the camera icon next to text in the FaceTime button in the contacts. FaceTime still works fine but I don't know what the question mark means. Thanks!

I'm not completely certain myself yet, but I think it means it's not sure the other side has the ability to do FaceTime calls.

Blinking Grey Folder with Question Mark Inside at Startup

I have an intel iMAC here that will no longer start. All i get are some clicking noises from the hard drive and blinking folder with a question mark inside. I've tried the slew of commands at startup to boot from the system disk, and I've tried to bypass the hard drive (command-option-shift-delete), nothing works. I've also reset the pram.
My system disk is now stuck inside the machine and it will not boot.
Any suggestions? The problem started after waking from sleep mode.

Hi I have the same problem. However trying the solution above doesn't work and restarting using the command, option ,P,R keys also doesn't help. the startup disk is fine and tries to restart but when it comes to reloading does not se my hard drive. Without stating the obvious i assume my hard drive is poked? is there any way to rescue the situation?
i was uploading photos to picasa using iphoto, the imac froze solid and when i eventualy rebooted i got the clicking noise and eventually the white screen with the question mark in the folder.
needless to say the mac is just over a year old (June 06) so not covered by warranty
