  • 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 on my Documents folder

    Why is there a Question Mark on my Documents folder? It will not let me access the folder.
    Thank You

    The question mark means the link to your Documents folder icon on your Dock (which is only an alias) has been broken.
    Open Finder an observe your Documents folder.
    Drag the one with the question mark off the Dock. It will vanish!
    Drag the one from your Finder back to the Dock to replace it. This re-establishes the link

    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.

    Black dots under the icons in the Dock?
    If an application is running, it is normal seeing a black dot under the application in the Dock.
    Closing the window doesn't make the application quit.
    Quit the application from the menu bar.

  • Why is there a question mark on Start up disk?

    Hello everyone,
    So I turned on my computer and a flashing folder with a question mark appeared. I followed some intructions that I found here such as pressing the pressing the On button when I heard the start up tone but it took me to a I wanna say "back up" disk.. The original start up disk has a question mark in it and I cannot access to any of my original files etc. It's very frustrating. I have thought about taking it to the apple store but I want to know if there's a way where I can fix it myself. As you all know the apple store can be a bit pricey.. 
    Thanks for your time.

    Not good in most instances.
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    This can happen when your Mac can't find a System Folder to boot from either because the startup disk is failing or failed.
    Try starting up while holding down the Option key. Theoretically, that should prompt the Startup Manager window. Select the startup disk then click Restart.

  • Why is there a question mark on my startup disk.

    When I go to apple system preferences, there is a question mark on my startup disk. Why? and what should I do to resolve it.
    I don't have any problem starting my ocmputer and using it.

    in the system pref.
    the top line ... "Show all, Display, Sound, Network,
    Startup disk
    my 'startup disk' has a question mark!
    Right. That's fine. It's just telling you that you can click that icon to choose a different Startup Disk. That question mark is part of the icon for that preference pane.
    I click on it and I get a"select the system.."
    It shows my Mac OS 10.3.9 and Network Startup which
    has a question mark
    I do have OS selected.
    and question mark on Network.
    Is that correct?
    Correct.
    Now, where do I go to see my startup items?
    Click on "Show All" in the System Preferences. Then Accounts down in the System section. Choose your account in the list at the left hand side, then choose the "Startup Items" tab on the right.
    To remove an app from that list, select it and use the "-" button below. Unchecking it just means that if the application has a window, it'll be hidden at startup.
    Thanks for all your help.
    You're welcome.
    cheers,

  • 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 over a printer icon on my dock?

    I have just installed a new printer on my computer.  I also have another printer installed along with this one.  I put this new printer's icon on my dock.  Now my old printer icon is showing a question mark over it.  I set my new printer to be the default printer.  Didn't know if that was the problem, so reset the default printer to be my old printer, but icon stayed.  Reset new printer to default and then turned on the old printer.  Question mark still there.  Set old printer to default and tuned on the old printer.  Set old printer to scan to see if setting it up to use it would do something.  Question mark still there.  I am stumped.  Anyone know why this is happening?  It just bugs me that it won't go away.

    Noticed in the print summary that the printer icon had a pause symbol over it even though there was no print job listed that could be deleted.  Then got brilliant idea - took icon off of dock and dragged a new icon to dock - voila!! question mark gone!!  Crazy.  Anyway thanks for your thoughts as it led me to try this.

  • 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..

  • Why is there a question mark

    There is a question mark on one of the pictures in my photobook creation.  What is it and how do I fix it?

    It means that the PSE Organizer cannot find the photo. It is not in the place that PSE expects it to be. This usually happens becuase you renamed or moved or deleted the photo outside of PSE. To fix it, find the actual location and file name of this photo using Windows, then in PSE select the photo and then File->Reconnect and then point PSE to the actual location of the photo.

  • Question mark on some of my folders in LR3 on a Mac.  Right click does not result in anything... no drop down menu to fix the problem

    I am trying to learn Lightroom 3 on my Mac.  I mistakenly renamed some folders (not while in Lightroom) by adding a subject to the date.  Lightroom could not find the photos in the folder and gave me an error message that "the file named ... is offline or missing"  I then went back and changed the files to what they were originally named but still get the same error message.  Scott Kelby's good recommends right clicking on the file and i'd have the option to 'find the missing folder'...  Not happening.  What can I do other than starting over?

    I think you might have misinterpreted something in your reading. Try this:

  • 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.
