When I turn off I get a battery sign with an exclamation mark?

When I turn on I get the apple logo only nothing else . then when I turn off I get a horizontal battery sign with an exclamation mark within a triangle,looks just like a traffic sign .
Thanks in anticipation Harveybonk

Hiya,
That is a problem with the battery in Older iPod Minis. If you have never replaced it, then I'd start thinking about it. My company www.dr-pod.com can do this for you. However, to cure your problem, you should leave your iPod connected to power for an hour, then you should see some activity on screen. Don't disconnect, leave it there for about 8 hours, to fully charge the iPod's battery.
Thanks,
Mark

  • Why when I click on a photo in iPhoto do I get a yield sign with an exclamation mark in it?

    why when I click on a photo in iPhoto do I get a yield sign with an exclamation mark in it?

    The ! is an indication that the link or file path to the original file has been broken.  Try the following:
    make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • My bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign )

    my bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign ), i think the battery drained and switch it for charging but it will show only not charging sign . i bought this phone before 9 months, whats the solution for this ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

    What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

    It usually means some system files are missing or corrupted. Reinstalling OS X is the fix:
    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/.

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

  • I am unable to click on a single iPhoto.  I get a huge triangle with an exclamation mark in the center.  Can anyone help?

    I am unable to click on a single iPhoto.  I get a huge triangle with an exclamation mark in the center.  Can anyone help?

    have you done any "clean up" on your Mac using the finder or cleaner software recently?
    This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
    this can be caused by two things
    1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto  library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2  or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
    2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

  • I get an error message when I try to use share function on IPhoto. I get the triangle icon with an exclamation mark inside of it.

    I get an error message when I try to use the share function on iPhoto. When I try to share photos via email a triangle icon with an exclamation mark appears. Why can't I use share function?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    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.

  • I've been using Iphoto as a primary download program for years. As of today, when I click a thumbnail to open the photo, I get a black screen with an exclamation mark on some shots. Also, these shots can't be dragged into Adobe Bridge. Would love help!

    I use Iphoto as my primary download tool, then drag images into Adobe Bridge. Just today, when I tried to open a photo by clicking a thumbnail, all I got was an image of an exclamation mark and I couldn't drag the shot either. These are images I've successfully opened and dragged before. I would love guidance from anyone who knows a fix for this. Thanks!  John

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto?
    As Larry says, your workflow doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If you're using iPhoto only for downloading then you're best off using Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) and just keep the whole database element out if it. If you're using iPhoto also to organise, then what are you using Bridge for? Anything you do in Bridge - or Photoshop - is unavailable in iPhoto if you work this way.

  • BB z10 large red battery sign with an exclamation in the middle

    Hi Everyone, 
    I had a problem with OS on my z10 yesterday, and i reinstalled my OS using BB link 5 times (reload device software) , then Autoloader 8 times and then eventually online on blackberry website on Internet Explorer. After successful installation of the software, and turning on the device resulted in a large red battery sign in the middle of the screen with an exclamation in the center.
    It seems to be stuck in a loophole, as i have recharged my phone for the past 10 hours. About 6 hours on a usb cable i use at work and about 4 hours at home on a wall charger. I have tried countless times the three button reset technique(power, vol +, vol -) with no success. Its been more than 24hours since my phone bricked, any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Emad

  • When I try to open a photo I get a black page with an exclamation mark??

    I noticed that I had at least 3 copies of each photo for some reason and when I deleted the two copies I now can't seem to view the one remaining photo. Please advise.
    James

    James
    I'm going to assume that these
    3 copies of each photo
    you've noticed are in the iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder? I'm going to assume this because
    I deleted the two copies I now can't seem to view the one remaining photo
    If this is not the case, then post back.
    *It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss*
    There is never a need for you to enter the iPhoto Library via the Finder. There are no user-serviceable parts there. Every time you do enter the iPhoto Library via the Finder (or any other app) you risk damaging the Library.
    Especially when you go and throw away your own photos.
    1. They're not copies, they are versions. When you import a pic to iPhoto it's copied into the Originals Folder and a thumbnail version is created (for faster display) in the Data Folder. So, when you look in the iPhoto Window it's the thumbnail that you see. When you double click to edit/view it's the actual file that comes up. If you edit the pic iPhoto creates an edited version. That's in your Modified folder.
    2. The "some reason" iPhoto does this is because a: you want it to work fast, b: it preserves your Original file at all costs.
    Please advise.
    So, what versions did you trash? If you can see the pic in thumbnail form in the iPhoto Window then I have a bad feeling...
    Let us know what you've done and perhaps we can help.
    Regards

    You'll notice that the problem is usually associated with a failed/damaged hard drive, meaning you'll likely need to have your iPod serviced if you want to get it working again.

  • Battery icon with an exclamation point on it

    My battery life on my 4g ipod was still pretty descent, but just recently, if i don't charge it every other day, i get a battery icon with a exclamation point over it. Did the battery life just drop that quickly, and if so, how do i fix? Send in for a battery replacement, or can i do that myself?
    4G ipod 20gig   Windows XP   2 years old

    I just plugged it into an outlet, and it started to work, if you the have the charger that you can plug into an electrical outlet it should work.
