Why is the captcha code a question mark?

In Safari Version 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1), a retailers website has a "Contact Us" page and requires a captcha code to be entered at the bottom. The problem I have is that there is no captcha code below the the sentence: "Please enter the following code into the box provided:" There is a blue square with a white question mark in it and a sound icon next to that. I have set all extensions to allow tracking cookies, enabled pop-up windows, and set cookies to never be blocked but I cannot get a code. The same problem exists in Firefox and Chrome. What can I do? Thanks for any suggestions.

If it happens on all browsers, there's nothing you can do. It's a problem on the retailers website.

IMac crashed & on reboot I get the folder with a question mark

This happened last night when I went downstairs to put my computer to sleep, it was frozen. On reboot, I would get the chime, but not the apple logo—just the gray screen. Finally, after a minute or two, the folder with a question mark appeared. I tried resetting my PRAM and that didn't seem to work. I tried rebooting from the install disk to repair permissions, but my volume wouldn't even mount. It wasn't there.
Since this was 10:30 at night, I just went to sleep and when I woke up this morning, I turned it on just to see what would happen and lo & behold, it turns on, apple logo appears and ultimately takes me to my login screen. Needless to say, I was thrilled.
However, when I went to login on either my account or my husband's account, neither of our passwords will work now.
I have tried everything—typing the letters one by one. Nothing. How on earth am I supposed to login now? I'm afraid of restarting for fear of that infamous folder with the question mark appearing.
Any suggestions on how I could possibly login? Not only that, why are our passwords no longer working? Our names and avatars show up (they're custom avatars), so something is showing up on my HD, but why don't our passwords work? Weird.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, my specs are below and the only thing that I have done differently is I upgraded to v10.5.6 a few days ago. Otherwise, this never happens. No, I have not installed new RAM or anything like that.
Thanks!!!

Thank you so much for your replies, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
After speaking with tech support yesterday morning, and trying to verify disk via install disk, it was recommended that I bring my computer into Apple to have my HD replaced. I took it to the Genius Bar yesterday and yup, I need my HD replaced. Pain in the butt, but oh well, it could have been worse.
I pretty much back up all of my work (I'm a graphic designer) on a regular basis, but hadn't backed up my recent iTunes purchases, which I was told yesterday I could easily transfer from my iPod back to my "new" iMac—since they're purchased from iTunes. What a relief.
I guess the only thing that's a pain is pretty much all of my bookmarked websites (and there were a lot) and my photos, which I believe for the most part, were backed up.
Regardless, a lesson learned—never take advantage of the fact that your computer is what you think brand new (less than a year and a half old), and thinking it won't die, because you never know. This guy that was sitting next to me at the GB had a brand new MacBook Pro and it died after one week. Ouch!
I am going out right now and purchasing an external HD and having Time Machine back up on a regular basis. What a pain, but a harsh lesson learned.
Thank goodness for Apple Care.

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?

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/.

The CAPTCHA code is not showing up for any website.

The captcha code isn't showing up for Firefox or IE9. I have tried clearing my cookies, going to safe mode, disabling plugins, pressing check "show pictures", everything. The captcha isn't working for any site. Please help.

Many times the CAPTCHA is hosted on a different server, in other words, it's a "third party" image. If your security/firewall/privacy software blocks third party images because some of them are likely to be web bugs, try turning that off to see whether it is a factor.

Most of the time when I turn computer on I get the white screen and question mark. Sometimes it will turn on and work but often the spinning disk starts and especially when opening Iphoto and it generally freezes

Most of the time when I turn on the Mac I get the white screen and question mark appear. Sometimes it will turn on and work. But often the coloured spinning wheel starts up especially after trying to use iphoto it freezes and a couple of times the screen has then gone black. The computer seemed pretty warm yesterday when this happened.
Any suggestions of what I should do to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Your images are "disconnected"
that means they are not in the same place on your hard disk as they were when you imported them into Elements. There are a couple ways this can happen, mostly folks who use Windows to move images to a new location instead of Elements will run into this issue.
To fix it, you either need to move them back using Windows, or Reconnect them using Elements.
You didn't mention waht version you have, but it's done the same in all versions.
Here is a link to the Help doc on how to Reconnect.

Macbook has the folder with flashing question mark

Yesterday as I was watching Netflix my Mac froze. I was skipping around an episode and then started opening a folder to do something else while it loaded and then it just froze. I thought maybe I was clicking on too many things at once or whatever and it got screwed up a bit so I closed it for a minute or two. When I opened it back up it had a (light) blue screen that wouldn't go away so I shut it down with the power button. Then when I turned it back it just had a white/gray screen for like a minute before the folder with the flashing question marked appeared.
I've googled possible solutions but nothing seems to work. It won't boot up in safemode. One answer suggested trying to do comm-opt-P-R (can't remember what that was trying to do) and that didn't work. The screen would just go black and then start up over and over. When I just press the opt-key it takes me straight to Internet recovery. However, none of the options available work. I don't have the TimeMachine thing, I don't have a disk to reload the Lion software, and there's nothing to click on at all in the disk utility. All that's available in that is a disk0 and the Mac OS X Base System and I can't click on First Aid/Erase/Partition/Restore. I've opened up the startup disk and there's nothing that shows up.
Is there something else I can try at home or should I just go ahead to the apple store? My Mac is under a year old still, but I spilled soda on it back in like October and had to get all the parts replaced so I don't know if that would do anything to the warranty....And if something does have to get replaced will I lose all my stuff? It was bad enough losing four months worth of data, I don't want to lose seven.
Thanks for any help.

As long as the parts were replaced by someone authorized to do the repairs, you should still be fine. This error indicates that they computer isn't able to find a disk to boot to.
The "disk" to reload Lion is that internet recovery (also can be launched from command + r).
Seeing as how you don't have the startupdisk in Disk Utility, I would recommend getting it into a store to see why that drive isn't detected. It could be something as simple as a loose SATA cable, or as catastrophic as complete hard drive failure. While you're at the store, I'd look into investing in an external drive to start running Time Machine...

Does anyone know why I am getting a yellow question mark by my AS3 .swf?

I developed a few Actionscript 3 animations in CS Flash 5 to use in Cp5. Instead of the green ball icon in the upper right corner of the animation, I am getting a yellow question mark like I did when with my Actionscript 2 .swfs. The reason I created new ones in AS3 was to avoid any conflict. Hmmm
The new ones I am trying to use are Moving Red Circle, Moving Red Rectangle, and Moving Exclamation Point. The Green Ball items are from Cp5 Gallery.
Thanks

Ah...that explains why you would be seeing these icons.
When Captivate's library opens, it goes through and checks the locations of the objects in the library to see if it still can connect to the source file locations.
I would say the way to get around this would be to have the path to all source files replicated on each machine you work on. So if you set up a C:/Projects directory with exactly the same folder structure on each PC you use, the path to source files should remain the same. But I think trying to keep all the files in three machines always synced up will be more trouble than it's worth, personally.

Why cannot the below code find cookie?

Hi,
Please see the following code in the aspx.cs file:
public bool IsShow()
try
string strAppFloatCnt = string.Empty;
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"] != null)
strAppFloatCnt = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"].Value;
int appFloatCnt = 0;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strAppFloatCnt))
appFloatCnt = Convert.ToInt32(strAppFloatCnt);
DateTime expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(60);
if (appFloatCnt < 5)
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"] == null)
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("appFloatCnt");
cookie.Value = (appFloatCnt + 1).ToString();
cookie.Expires = expires;
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
else
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["appFloatCnt"].Value = (appFloatCnt + 1).ToString();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["appFloatCnt"].Expires = expires;
return true;
else { return false; }
catch (System.Exception ex)
return false;
And then I called this method in the aspx file like the following way:
<input type="hidden" id="hiddenIsShowAppFloat" value="<%=IsShow()%>" />
Each time I refresh this page in Google Chrome, System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"] always return NULL. Why?
Where should I edit the above code so that System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["appFloatCnt"] can return the correct value instead of always NULL?
(I am using VS 2012. Operating system is Windows 7 Professional.)
Please help to sort out this problem. Thank you.

Why does the bar code look "chubby" when I save to PDF?

Hi, I'm designing a book cover for a client in Illustrator, and it has a bar code on the back of it. When I save the file as an .ai or a .png or .jpeg, it appears fine. But when I save the file as a .pdf (which my client will be viewing, and for print), the bar code looks like the lines have gotten bigger or run together! It's really weird...no matter which preset I use, it appears like this (I've attached a screenshot). I've also tried the "flatten transparency" and converting the numbers to outlines, but they still tend to distort when the pdf is viewed.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or why this might be happening? It scares the client when they see it....
The lines in the picture are MUCH thicker than the actual bar code, and some appear to have blended together.

Hi Mike,
In the Preferences area of Adobe Reader, go to the Page Display tab, and
make sure that "Enhance thin lines" is unchecked. That seemed to solve
most of my problems with the type! Hope that works for you too!

MMS showing up on the other end as question marks?

MMS is working almost perfectly for me, but there have been a few instances where it has screwed up a little.
The same problem has occurred a few times now, but there have been a few images I tried to send to a friend that showed as 'Sent' on my iPhone, but my friend told me these images were showing up as question marks.
He describes it as "a teeny tiny picture of a hill with a piece of paper on the top of it, and a question mark".
This has happened, as I said, with a few different pictures, on a few different occasions.
The pictures finally were able to go through after I took a screencap of them, and sent him the screencap. This is the part I find strange. Is it possible that hyphens in the filename might be screwing up the delivery of these images? I find it so strange that I try sending the same picture three times, and all three times it shows up as that strange question mark picture, but when I send a screencap, it goes through just fine.
Another friend of mine said that a picture he sent to someone also showed up as a question mark on the other end.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know what the problem could be?

Anyone?

Why am a i getting a question mark in a box instead of an apple upon start

My mac pro 2008 has given me a grey screen, tried restarting got same scren with a box that has a question mark....can you please help me accessing my mac pro? much appreciated

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 its location.
