  • Getting a folder icon with a question mark in it when I start up...

    Hi Guys
    I know this isn't a Logic or music-related question, but I trust you guys so I'm asking it here rather than in one of the other Apple forums...!
    Sometimes when I start my 2 month old Mac Pro, I get a folder icon in the middle of the screen, with a question mark in it...
    This happens approximately one in ten startups...
    Does this mean there's something wrong with my boot hard drive? Or some other kind of problem?
    If I switch off and start again, it always starts up fine, but I'd be worried if this might indicate my system hard drive is on the way out!
    Any advice?
    Cheers and thanks!
    Mike

    You cannot delete (just try it) the Network Startup icon, and I don't think it is the problem. That question mark folder on startup actually tells you that the Mac cannot find a valid system, so if I were you I'ld run a couple of utilities, repair permissions, perform a surface scan of your boot disk etc.
    And post the question on the OS X and the Mac Pro forums too.
    The question mark in the network startup icon in the Startup Disk Prefpanel simply means that there is no network startup system. I have the same icon. It is not the problem. However, if for some reason your Mac decides on its own to try and start up from it, it would explain your "where's the system" startup ?-folder.
    It could mean a lot of things: something almost broken in your system, or maybe a firmware problem or maybe a disk, or even that your keyboard is defective, and that (for example) the letter C hangs 1 in 10 times, making your Mac look for a Boot CD/DVD that isn't there...

  • Why do I get a red or green flicker when i update my current iMovie project?

    Why do I get a red or green flicker when i update my current iMovie project?

    Hi Cactusbarb,
    If the LCD screen is turning red, your camcorder will require service to correct this issue.  If you're seeing the red "Rec" dot, then the recording stops, you may need to use a faster memory card.
    We recommend the use of Speed Class 6 or 10 memory cards with this camcorder.
    If you determine that y our camcorder requires service, please contact us at [email protected] for service options.  Let us know the model camcorder and your zip code.

    Hello olibabe,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First, I would check out this Apple support document related to your issue.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1463
    Or check out this fix from Don Whitman from another forum. Several users with th is same issue were able to resolve it by following this method.
    http://www.topix.com/forum/gadgets/ipod/TJB41HJ0RV3TNQE9D
    If no luck with any of these, your iPod's drive is likely damaged and will need to be replaced in order to gain full functionality of the iPod again.

  • Is there a way to use Premiere Pro CC's new mask tracking with a red circle around someone?

    I know how to do the face blurring, but just wondering if there is a way to put a red circle around someone or something and track it using the new mask tracking on Premiere Pro CC?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Yes this is the fix.  I was getting frustrated over this issue.  I use Dreamweaver across two minitors and the palette locations were resetting back to the main monitior where the app was.  This unchecking and a quick log out and back in fixes the issue.  Thank you!

  • HT5052 i am struggling to download new software update for ipad 2 using itune: The problem is that im getting an error saying time out!!! and when i start downloading again it starts from zero!!

    Their alternative option is for you to bring it into the store
    You could google and look for some download helpers (presuming they still exist, haven't used them in years) but they're freeware or adware that caches your download to help you recover from timeouts.
    the timeout is possibly caused by your ISP, if they regularly cycle routers or the such it 'burps' your connection  causeing it to cut out.
    You might try taking your laptop to your local library which may have wifi. Or, as the others have suggested, a friend's house with cable internet.

  • HT4993 there is an icon in my menu bar with a lock with a continuous circle around it - what does this mean

    there is an icon with a lock with a continuous circle around it - what does this mean

    It means you have enabled rotation lock, so the screen will not change from portrait to landscape when you rotate the phone.
    Double-press the HOME button, then slide the QuickLaunch ribbon from left to right to reveal the lock control icon.

  • I keep getting a blue screen prompt "to enter my Cisco Password" when i start up safari?

    I keep getting a blue screen prompt to "enter my Cisco Password" when I start up Safari. Does anyone know why this would be coming up?. The only way for me to get by this message and get on-line is to shut down my computer and re-boot. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Dog,
    This has only started coming up since I downloaded a program called Geneio, not sure if that could be the cause. It was **** trying to get rid of that program. NEVER load that program on your Mac. It suppose to be a news update program that flashes up. Never again!
    In that case you should review The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide : Genieo.
