Why does quicktime have a question mark when I open Safari - how do I fix?

Whenever I open Safari to any page with Quicktime I
get a Q with a questions mark through it.
I am about ready to hang myself.
Thanks,
John

Edgar123,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Sounds as if somehow your Mac has misplaced the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin file. Try searching your hard drive to see if that plug-in is around in the wrong spot, or download and re-install the Quicktime installer from the Downloads link at the top of the Discussions page.

Why does Flash install completion close tabs when re-opening Safari?

Here is a link to the last time this was brought to the attention of the Adobe team on 9/11/2014: Safari Browser Tab Cleared After Flash Installation
Is this something that will be fixed soon or does Adobe just not care? It can be very time consuming to track down tabs that were left open for various reasons. Please fix this and have Safari re-open with tabs that were open before a Flash player update.

It's something that we're aware of, but it's not trivial to solve. It's definitely on our radar, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Why do i have a question mark on my app store

To delete that question mark, just hold the Command key and drag it off the Finder, so that question mark will be removed. That's caused when the item you had there is deleted, so Finder doesn't find it and it shows the question mark

Where is your Calculator application located? Before you can put it into the Dock you need to remove the Question Mark. Select it with the mouse and drag it out of the until it "poofs" away. Now locate Calculator and drag its icon into the Dock.

Why do I have a question mark on top of Ichat Icon

why do I have a question mark on top of Ichat Icon ?

Hi,
If this is in the DOCK it because that icon (and the links it has) have lost contact with the original app.
Open th Applications folder.
Drag iChat to the DOCK (Creates the icon and links)
If his displays properly drag the old one Off the DOCK and let go (Puff of smoke animation)
IF it is in the Applications folder that you see this then iChat is most probably broken in some way and you will have to reinstall it (I will needs to know which version for a more complete answer on that)

Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?

Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?
This has been always bothering me for some time already. Whenever I open my macbook air in our university it always warns me to restart my device. When I do the same thing happens over and over again until it reached 27 reports.

I'd make a sound too if i was put into a bag haha.
Only thing i could think of it it has a mind of its own or your putting your computer to sleep. Try shutting down your mac before placing in your bag and see if that changes things.

Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

New Document is one click in the lower left of the opening window! You could write an AppleScript to avoid that one click, but that may not be worth the candle.
Note that after that one click you can save an additional click by specifying 'Use template:<your chosen template>' instead of 'Show Template Chooser' in Numbers > Preferences > General.

My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. I insert the DVD and wait for the player to start automatically but after 10 minutes, nothing is happening and it sounds like the disk has stopped spinning. I've now tried with four different DVDs (all store bought and so perfectly normal disks). The Mac doesn't eject the disk or anything it just doesn't seem to respond to it being there at all.
My main confusion is why this suddenly happened today when it was perfectly fine last week.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

Go to Safari>Preferences...>General> and set "Remove download list items: to "Manually."
If that setting is "Upon Successful Download" the Downloads icon only appears during the download.

Updated Scrabble on my iPad, now it crashes when I open. How do I fix, without losing games I am playing now?

I have a similar issue. I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6. All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566. All apps worked perfectly under 10.5. Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
(BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps. Could this be related?)

Why do I have a question mark in my Finder window. I have no previous or next window arrows.

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.

Well, unless someone else chips in here to help, your other option is to contact Apple's technical support. Their U.K. phone no. is: (44) 0870 876 0753
I could be wrong, but as I understand it, if you've never contacted Apple before for the particular Mac you're calling about, then your 90 days of complimentary phone support will begin from your very first call.

In iphoto-Why am I getting a question mark when opening a picture?

Starting a couple of days ago I have been having difficulty dragging pictures out of iphoto. It just won't let me. Now when I try to open a picture in iphoto it shows a big explanation point. I am so frustrated. The only thing I did recently was to download a trial of Adobe Elements. I don't know if there is a connection but I deleted it. I am still having the problem. Please help! Thanks, Dee

Dee:
I don't think the Elements install had anything to do with the problem. That ! is a result of iPhoto losing the path to the original file. Run the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
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 User/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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why does my Bookmark Toolbar appear blank when I open Firefox 8.x but is filled after unclicking that toolbar in View and reclicking?

When I open Firefox, the Bookmark toolbar is there but a solid gray. I can restore the icons by clicking View, Toolbars, Bookmar to unselect the Bookmark toolbar, and then repeat the process to select the Bookmark toolbar. This is an annoyance repeated every time I open Firefox. How do I get out of this loop and just have the Toolbar appear populated with icons automatically?

Have you done any customization to the Bookmarks Toolbar? Like adding Spaces or a Flexible Space to the Bookmarks Toolbar. 
Does an overflow chevron >> appear on the right-side of the Bookmarks Toolbar?
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
