    Hi s.cheslik,
    It seems your MacBook Pro will not boot properly and it displaying an error message. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your MacBook Pro needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • What does the folder with a question mark mean?

    When I power on my black Macbook a white screen appears with a folder with a question mark flashing. what does the folder with a question mark mean? I just replaced the hard drive. When I put the install disc in the cd drive makes a very loud whirring noise then eventually the disc pops back out. Any ideas?

    You will need to reinstall:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • What does Firefox do with .pdf files?

    Our department has started using "the cloud". In our office, we create drawings and maps in Microstation which are also made into .pdf files. It is the .pdf files that we share with clients. I was viewing a .pdf file we created recently and it was listed as a Firefox HTML document. Questions: Is Firefox actually changing our files? What if we sometimes need to have them behave exactly as an Adobe file is expected to behave? What if we need to download a .pdf file and put it on a CD to hand to someone? Will the client be coming back to us saying "What is this thing, I can't use it?" Can we expect these files to plot exactly as a .pdf would plot, and what would we need to do differently?
    Is there something printed up, or a document online, that would explain these things and tell us what normally happens, so that my supervisor (who has barely had a chance to look while this upgrade is happening) would understand it?
    btw I am NOT writing from work.
    thanks in advance

    This was helpful in that it gives me a partial answer but now it adds other questions. I think part of the reply may have been cut off?
    What does it mean, registers as handler? We have people using any of 3 default browsers in my department. Some IE, some Firefox, possibly some Chrome (which was included in upgrade installation but I get the impression that people may not like or trust it.) What if some of the files have been opened with one browser, some with another? Also I do not have admin privileges on my work computer so probably can not change the adobe settings for my own computer, let alone the department. I see a potential mess.
    Where do I learn about this and how do I find some resources I can share?

  • What does a triangle with an exclamation mark mean?

    In Photos I see a thumbnail. When I click to see it alone I get a black screen with a triangle with an exclamation mark in it...what is going on?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • What does "Program ended with exit code: 0" mean in Xcode?

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to programming and I have received the error "Program ended with exit code: 0" in the last few programs I have created. It shows in the output windows after I have ran the program. What does this mean?

    an exit code of 0 indicates no  error. If a program wants to indicate there was something wrong when it exited it will exit with a non-zero value.
    What types of programs are you writing? Normally you see this for command line type programs.

  • What does the padlock on a file icon mean?

    I am running LabVIEW 2011 SP1.  In Windows Explorer some of my files (both .vi and .lvproj) have a small padlock on the file icon.  The files open fine and aren't broken.  What does this icon represent?

    If it isn't checked out, then it should be locked.  Hence the padlock.

    Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
    These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
    In most cases the problems may be caused by:
    Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
    Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
    Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
    The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.

    The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
    Boot From The Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • What does a folder with a question mark mean?

    When starting up my computer I get a folder with a question mark inside. How can I fix this problem?

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

  • What does the cloud with a downward arrow mean?

    Every morning i have a coloud with a downward arrow by a song. Sometimes it won't even let me play the song. I have synced my ipod touch and ipone to my laptop and songs are synced. But then randomly i can't play the ones that have the cloud with arrow. any suggestions?

    It means the song was previously purchased from the iTunes store and is available for redownload.  It won't play because it hasn't yet been downloaded.  You can hide this by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turning Music off under Show All.
    This should only happen with songs that are not stored on your iPod.  If you synced music is somehow being deleted from your iPod you might want to post a question over in the iPod Touch forum because this shouldn't be happening.

  • I am having trouble with my MacBook Pro. I get a blank screen with a flashing document file with a question mark in it, yes I have tried to install Mac OS X with the original disk but I get no choices of where I wish to install Mac OS X. Please help ;(

    I am having some trouble with my computer, what happened was: I was playing on a game, I played with a magnet, it started to go slower and slower, I pressed F9 then it went slower and then it went to a blank screen with a flashing document with a question mark on it. I tried the original OS X installation disk but when it came to choosing the area of which I save it, it showed no areas.

    Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
    If the startup disk is not available from that window, you may be able to repair the disk.

  • What does a white screen with a file folder and question mark indicate?

    what does a white screen with a file folder and question mark indicate upon start up?

    That the computer can't find a useable boot volume.
    Boot from your grey installer DVD disc 1 (hold down the C key on startup or hold down Alt/option on start and choose the installer disc).
    OK the language page (if present). From the installer screen, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility; depending on the OS version it may be in the Utilities menu or Tools menu.
    In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.). Run Repair Disk (not Disk permissions). If problems are reported as repaired, run it again until you get a message in green "the volume seems to be OK".
    If it says it can't repair the disc, you may need heavier guns such as DiskWarrior or TechTool to attempt a rescue.
    Hope you have backups; retrieving data from adead drive can be expensive and tricky.

  • My MacBook will only turn on to a grey screen with a file and a question mark flashing on the screen

    When I turn my MacBook on a grey screen with a file and question mark in the center of the screen  flashing. What can I try to
    get out of this screen?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • Why does Captivate pdf of lesson open to a blank screen with no content?

    Saved and published Captivate elearning as a pdf.  When I opened it on my work computer or sent to others at work work for review, it opened as a full interactive eLearning.  I saved the pdf to a flash drive and copied the pdf to my home computer.  The file shows as the same MB size but opens to a blank screen with no content.  Do I need another version of Acrobat?  I don't have Captivate on my home computer.  I am looking for another job and need to show the learning as a sample of my work.  Help!

    I have Acrobat 8 on my Mac Computer and it still doesn't open with content.  I tried installing the Flash player to my computer and still no go.  I sent the pdf to a recruiter with windows and they also didn't open.  I am very frustrated about what to do.
