**** warning triangles

I have spent ages preparing this short movie (about 10 minutes long) and now for some reason most of the clips have all gone black with yellow warning triangles that say "this clip's media files are currently unavailable". All the footage was downloaded froma canon ixus 75. I can't understand it- it's really busting my balls. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

did you move the location of the events/media files (or delete them) in the Finder? if so, quit iMovie and put them back where they were. that should fix your problem. also, the same thing goes if you changed the name of your event folders, quit iMovie and change the name back to what they were. lastly, if your files are on a external disk drive, check and make sure that the drive is powered on and connected.
each project uses the media files on disk that are stored in the event folders. if you need to move or reorganize these files, do it within iMovie -- all the projects will be able to track the changes. i've noticed that if you change the files outside of iMovie you will not have the same results, you will get the triangles. best wishes.

Warning triangles on brush properties...

i was doodling along just fine with Ps CC 2014, when my brush properties suddenly spawned warning triangle. brush pressure, etc. no longer works.
what happened?
i've asked this question a few times now, but no response. worse, when i look through posts from other people with similar issues, there's no answer.
why not?
i have win8/cc 2014/intuos 5 ...btw, win8/Ps-CS6/Intuos5 combo doesn't have this problem.
granted, my measly $10 a month is chump change to adobe, but still, there should be some response. the way i see it right now, i'm paying monthly for an inferior product that's been rife with bugs and hasn't worked properly since i installed it back in june. pretty-much decided that if there's no improvement by the end of august, i'm going back to my tried-n-true Ps-CS6.... (′ɛ‵;)

i've seen that response, and, well, i don't really understand it (not very computer savvy). just what is it that the code is suppose to do? however, i do see a number of follow up comments that say it *doesn't* work.
the bigger question i have is: why were my brushes just fine for the first couple of months, and then stopped working? and why have i never had this problem with Ps-CS6?

On the imovi project I have created there are now yellow warning triangles saying the the clip is missing. How do I get the clip back?

I have created a project in Imovi and when I went back onto it all the clips had a yellow warning triangle with the error message clip missing. How do I retrieve the clips after all my hard work?

I don't use the latest iMovie version, so the steps may be different....... but, you can try a couple of things:
when you got the warning that the clips couldn't be located, was there an option to "find them"? If so, click on that and then navigate to that folder on your desktop (after that, leave the folder where it is - iMovie will need to find them again the next time); or
attach your camera and see if you can get iMovie to 'find' them there, or
simply try to import the clips (File > import) and see if you can integrate them that way.
The next time you start a project, I'd suggest you either
leave the camera attached when you work on the project (as that is where iMovie expects them to be) or
download everything from your camera to your desktop into a folder. Then import into iMovie from there. Do not throw out or move that folder until your project has been finalized,, exported, shared, or burned - those processes will result in having a complete project which includes all the files, clips, etc. Until then, iMovie just "finds" all the files it needs in their original location.

Mysterious warning triangle in my project

I suddenly have one of those orange warning triangles on my project name in the event browser. Now I know that usually means that there is some missing media, but in this case, there are no files in red (which is what missing media looks like). When I go to Relink Files to see what it thinks it's looking for, it shows 6 jpeg image files which it is looking for. So okay, I have those on my drive, so i will relink them to make that warning triangle go away. I do it, but it makes no difference. Still have the triangle and checking Relink shows that it is still looking for those same files. Just six images. So it won't relink them and to add to the mystery, those files are not in my project. They were at one time, but not now. Searching within FCP shows they are not there.

I went through this a couple of years ago. I decided to sign all the jars, rather than combining them. My reason was that there was a main code jar and a bunch of resource jars for different languages. Why end up with a huge jar containing English, French, Spanish etc., when only one will be used by a specific user? Anyway, maybe your situation is different, but if you had good reasons to split into many jars in the first place, keep it like this and sign each one of them.

Yellow Warning Triangles

I made a book in iphoto and for some reason there is a yellow warning triangle at the top of every picture and page (evens pages with only words that do fit in the box). And when I try to preview the book it loads halfway then comes up with a notice saying, There is a problem with the photo with the filename “n55266606723501403857.jpg.” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book, then stops. And when I clicked "buy book" to see what would happen and it says, One or more photos in your book may print at too low a quality based on the design you have chosen. Do you want to continue?
How do I fix this???

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt.
That sound like the original file may be missing or the link to it broken. Find that photo in the Photos mode and try to edit it. Report back what you get.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Warning triangle with battery icon

I have a 2nd generation 20g click wheel ipod. I was charging it and then transfering podcasts from iTunes ( on Mac) and when i came back to eject the ipod there was a blank screen. After toggles the hold switch and then pressing menu and select at the same time, first an apple appeared and then a battery with a warning triangle appeared. My ipod doesn't appear on my desktop nor in my iTunes source list. Any suggestions?

It has to be charged in the wall charger. That happens to my iPod sometimes and I just have to let it charge for a while before I can restart it and then it'll start working fine again.

Missing media, yellow warning triangles.

I've recently consolidated my iTunes music library from an old external drive onto my new 1TB internal drive. Now I'm noticing in iMovie 09 that all the music is missing with yellow warning triangles.
Obviously iMovie is linking to the files that used to live on my old external drive. I can't find a way to repair the missing links.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly received.
Regards,
Dave

I've just found a solution to this problem, a big thanks to David Burwell:
Close iMovie
Back up iMovie files just in case we blow something up!!!
Download "Plist Edit Pro" from Apple (see below)
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/plisteditpro.html
Go to the folder where your iMovie Project is stored, mine was at...
User/Movies/iMovie Projects
Right mouse click on the Video Project (mine was called Rachel Video)
Select "Show Package Contents" from the drop down menu
You'll see a number of Folders and Files
Right mouse click on the file called "Project"
Select "Open With" and browse to the "Plist Edit Pro" file you just downloaded (if you don't already have it)
Expand the $objects list
I scrolled down until i found the missing music file (Ship.mp3 - it will list the entire path)
If you know the file name you can Edit/Find it instead
Change the location pointer of the file (new path and file name)
Select File/Save from the Plist Edit Pro menu
Quit Plist Edit Pro
Open the project in iMovie

Yellow warning triangle in title bar

Every Indesign doc I open has a yellow warning triangle next to the name in the title bar. I hadn't seen this before. Tried clicking/double clicking etc. but I can't find what the triangle is trying to tell me. (Mac CS 5 Lion)

Please post a screen shot. You can use the camera icon on the web page to embed it in your post like this:
Are these older files that you are opeing for the first time in a new verion of ID? I've never heard of a warning triangle, but it might be some sort of Lion-only enhancement telling you that the file has not been saved. What version of ID are you using?

When I select an image, why do I see a grey warning triangle and black screen?

When I select an image, why do I see a grey warning triangle on a black screen? I can see the image in the Event review, but it won't let me see it independently.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Warning triangle, percentages and smart objects

Hi,
As a new member, I imagine these two have come up before - but if not...
1. I'd like to see the same Warning Triangle in Lightroom, as can be seen in Camera Raw to indicate when an image is fully loaded or 'ready' on screen.
2. Why does LR use percentages, when CSx and Camera Raw use an 8bit value for RGB values etc - this seems crazy for interworking.
3. Creating a smart object in CS can only be done from Camera Raw - can this be added to LR?
4. Editing a previosuly generated PSD from LR - can I have the option of double-clicking from LR without creating a new file with -Edit - ie something more intelligent?
Cheers,
Mark

> 1. I'd like to see the same Warning Triangle in Lightroom, as can be seen in Camera Raw to indicate when an image is fully loaded or 'ready' on screen.
LR has tiles that come up that say things like "loading".
> 2. Why does LR use percentages, when CSx and Camera Raw use an 8bit value for RGB values etc - this seems crazy for interworking.
The RGB values are meaningless without a defined color space and/or profile.
> 3. Creating a smart object in CS can only be done from Camera Raw - can this be added to LR?
Not without changes to PS/ACR.

Same as last answer.

Swf won't load on device - Flash icon with yellow warning triangle and number 9

I have an internet tablet - the Archos 5. I'm trying to
create a swf file that runs on the device. I made a small "hello
world" application in Flex 3. When I try to run it on the device I
get a blank white screen with a flash icon in the center. To the
lower right of the flash icon is a yellow "warning" triangle with
the number 9 inside of it.
I loaded the flash version checker on the device and that
runs properly. It claims that the player version is:
AFL 9,1,115,0
Debug player: No
OS: Linux
Video capable: Yes
Audio capable: Yes
Local File i/o enabled: No
Any hints as to what settings I need to switch in Flex 3 so I
can create applications for this device? The only thing I see that
looked promising is the "Require Flash Player version" setting, but
that's set to 9.0.124 - lower than the 9.1.115 version on the
device.
Thanks for any help

Flex does not run on all devices yet. Maybe it does not run
on this one yet.

How to dismiss a warning triangle

I have an HP Deskjet F2480 and it is working fine. However, the Print Queue window, and the Dock Icon has a yellow warning triangle. The message says "The following genuine HP ink cartridges are installed: Black". It has been like this for weeks.
Is there a way to dismiss this "informative" message so that the warning triangle goes away?
I have tried the HP Utility application and the HP Message Center application, but the message only appears in the Print Queue window and its dock icon.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

LR 3 Highlight Clipping Warning Triangle Colors

A friend of mine has seen the colors of the highlight and black clipping warning triangles in the LR3 histogram panel change color to cyan (pink) and yellow but doesn't know what these are indicating.
I tried to replicate this in LR4 but only saw (what looks like) pink (but may be red), blue and green.
Does anyone know what the yellow and pink triangles mean?
Thanks,
Stephen

Red and blue are the only two colors that the clipping indicator will show on the picture. I don't know where you would be seeing a green overlay.
In the two triangles themselves. And in the picture itself when holding down the Alt key while changing exposure etc.
E.g. crop a small green patch out of a picture, increase the saturation, so a clear green peak appears in the histogram, then increase the exposure. The moment the green peak touches the right border of the histogram, the right triangle turns green (best seen in PV2010 because PV2012 does automatic highlight recovery). As soon as e.g. the red peak follows, the triangle turns yellow. Only if all three colors touch the right border, the trangle turns white.
The same colors appear in the affected image areas if the slider is changes with the Alt key held down.
Edit: Screenshot of histogram with green peak touching right border:

Why do I get a warning triangle error alert on my project in the time frame area. And how do I remove it

Why do I get a yellow triangle looks like warning or alert symbol in my timeframe area. And what do I need to do to delete it?

What is the "Timeframe" area?
A clip in an Event, or a whole Event has lost track of it's originals.
Did you delete anything in an Event that you were using in a Timeilne?
