Why do I have question marks in the finder window header?
Ever since I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion I've noticed a large question mark in the finder window header. There is a smaller one beneath it, and they're both located just to the left of the search window.
Can you do a screenshot please?
Also may just grag and drop them outside the finder window.

Why is there a question mark in the Finder window?
Why is there a question mark in the finder window that looks like this. When I click the question mark in displays this message.
Because the item there has been moved from its original location or deleted (there's none in that location by default), or something made the Finder think there was an item there. In either case, the question mark can be removed by control-clicking it and choosing Remove Item, or by command-clicking it and dragging it out of the window.

Why is there a Question Mark in my Finder Window?
This question mark has recently appeared in my finder windows on my 21" iMac (2010), any ideas why?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtsdesigns/6311994946/If you performed an upgrade from an earlier version (such as 10.6.8) there might have been an item that you added to your Finder Window but cannot be found now to reinstate as part of the Finder Window. It such a case a Question Mark Icon appears as a place holder for the missing (or unfound) item.

Why is there a question mark on the Startup Disc folder in System Preferences?
Why is there a question mark on the Startup Disc folder in System Preferences?
Thanks in advance.Because there's a permissions issue with the application, or it's been moved somewhere which isn't accessible to the second user account, or its entry in the Dock plist on the second account is corrupt, in which case it needs to be located in the Applications folder and dragged to the Dock.

Hi
I am wondering How to fix the " flashing question mark after the finder icon when starting up" without an apple keyboard. I have 2 of those .7Ghz emacs so just wanna fix them
ThxHi,
>I am using a wireless standard keyboard so maybe the emac doesn't regognise it
Installation of driver software may be required. Do not expect any wireless device to automatically work with a Mac unless guaranteed to do so. In a case like this, use a wired USB keyboard (a PC keyboard should be OK) and a wired mouse to begin with.
>I have installed Ubuntu 13.00 on the HDD from another computer.
Is it a version for PowerPC?

Question mark in a finder window
Hi there,
recently, I noticed a weird question mark on any finder window I open:
any idea what it is? someone?
Thanks a lot!!It's a shortcut that you no longer have the original for - maybe a file you deleted or moved. Usually, it's nothing to worry about. You can remove the shortcut by holding down the command key and dragging it off the window.

Why is there a question mark in the top right corner of finder window?
just noticed this today, what does it mean?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/60782625@N08/5681554895/
when i click on it it says " the item can not be found" what item?
thanks for your help.This just happened to me. Help.
There was a mounted disk image on the desktop. I used to command-drag these to the drive so that it would copy as a whole folder. I just did that in Mountain Lion. But a folder was nowhere to be found. I forgot about it and just ejected the disk image.
Now I see there is a question mark at the right of every Finder window. I can't seem to remove it.
EDIT: I googled for the answer and found it. It can be removed by first right-clicking to "Customize Toolbar". Then drag it off and poof..

Unknown question mark symbol on Finder Window
Hi All,
I have noticed an awkward question mark symbol (?) on all of my Finder windows.
I don't understand what it means or how to remove it.
A snapshot of the problem is shown below :
Please note the grey "Question Mark - ?" on the top of the Finder window.
Any ideas on how to remove the mark ?
If the (? symbol) is clicked a dialog box appears saying "The item can't be found".Yes. I overlooked this matter.
I was actually able to remove the symbol by (Command + drag out).
The symbol is gone !
Thanks for the helpful tip. -
Why can't I move items in the finder window
I'm the administrator, but can"t move objects in the finder window,Why ?
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then drag or copy the text — do not type it — into the Terminal window and press return:
ls -@Odeln Desktop; ls -@Oeln "$_"
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If any personal information appears in the output, edit before posting, but don’t remove the context. -
My finder windows now have a question mark next to Action icon. I cannot flip between previous and next window.
The question is an orphaned alias, command-drag it off and "poof" it.
Then right click on Finder toolbar and choose "Customize toolbar" and drag the "Back" button onto it. -
All assets have question marks and no relink window in Muse v 7.2
I upgraded my Adobe Muse to v 7.2. Now all the assets placed with my previous version of Muse show up in the assets panel of Muse v7.2 with a question mark beside them, but no relink window opens after launching Muse v 7.2 to acknowledge missing asset links or to enable me to relink missing assets. How do I relink missing asset links in Muse 7.2 without a relink window opening? Is there a relink option or button somewhere in Muse 7.2? If so, where is it located?
Here's an example of what I assume you're seeing?
Here's what appears if you Control+Click (or right+click) on the red question mark icon.
If this isn't appearing for you, please report what version of Muse and AIR you're using (as reported in the About Adobe Muse dialog). Also, what type of pointing device are you using (i.e. Apple mouse, Wacom tablet, etc.)?
Does Control+click (aka right+click) work for you in any context? -

Why do I get question marks on iphoto instead of the photos?
Why do I get question marks on iphoto instead of the photos?
Possibly because you have set iPhoto to refer to photos stored elsewhere rather than copying them into its own library; and you've moved the photos.
If you have it set this way, Preferences>Advanced - 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library' will be unchecked. -
Why do some graphics only have question marks on my iPad?
Why do some graphics only have question marks on my iPad?
On web pages and in the ap store. In place of the graphic there's a little box with a question mark in it.
I can't even connect to a web page right now. I've got three bars on the wifi icon but safari just keeps trying until it says it can't connect to the server. Same with the ap store, I've been trying all afternoon to download a new ap with no success. It came right through on my iphone on the same wifi network. Had the same problem on my home network. I'm new to apple and I've only had the iphone and the ipad for a little over a week, but all this seems to have started after the most recent software update.
Is this all related? -
