Why is there an exclamation mark showing up when i click on my photos?

i went to a concert sunday night. i had to put the pictures on my computer in chunks cause there wasn't enough space. so i was deleting stuff as i went along. so. once they were all on. i had to restart my computer for something non-photo related. once i restarted my computer and opened iphoto, it told me there were photos that weren't in the library. they went into a recovered photos folder in the iphoto file thing in finder. i looked at those photos, and once i saw that they were already on iphoto, deleted them. and then when i clicked on those pictures in iphoto it showed up as a gray box with an exclamation point. is there any way to get them back? these pictures are really important to me. i'm in the process of getting an external hard drive to solve my space issues.

I can't even get my pictures from iPhoto to my external hard drive I just bought.
Quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the external drive as an intact single entity - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point iPhoto to the new location - test the library fully and then delete the library from the internal drive
I'm about ready to just get a disposable camera and call it good.
No problem if that makes you happy
My hard drive is so full I keep getting messages that it's almost full and won't work right if I don't delete something.
That is correct - you must have 10% or a minimum of 10GB of free space for efficient and safe operation
I'm TRYING but nothing is working. It's very frustrating, isn't it?
Maybe if you would give some details on what you are "trying" and what is "not working" someone could help - above is a specific answer to the specific question on how to move the iPhoto library
Not to mention, the CD drive has a disc in it that won't come out. I'm not anywhere near an Apple dealer, and my MacBook is under warranty, so I can't go anywhere but Apple.
I would post that in the MacBook forum rather than the iPhoto forum

Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails? Please help. Thanks!

That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file. First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
Click to view full size
If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library 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.

I have a grey exclamation mark showing in the middle of my display - regardless of what program I am running....anyone know what it means?

I have a grey exclamation mark showing in the middle of my Macbook Pro display - any ideas what it means?

Grey "Exclamation Mark"?
A yellow means no Mac OS partition for a HDD.
Maybe you have a power symbol like this one
If so, your mac is having Kernel Panics.
Could be caused by a system folder corrupted, faulty HDD, Faulty RAM or FAulty Logic Board.
What to do:
- Backup your data (use TimeMachine if possible)
- Erase your HDD and Make a fresh install
- If still happens, there is a hardware issue. If works fine on a new install, it was OS, so just start migrating your data back.
Good luck

I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with itunes on a Windows 7 laptop. When I go back to my music there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I have reinstalled iTunes

I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes on my Windows 7 Samsung laptop. I recently backed up all of my data using Samsung Recovery Solution 5 to an external hard drive so that I could restore my laptop. I put all of my data back on the restored laptop and reinstalled iTunes. After the error message that says that certain items could not be found and the "sync" is finished I go back to my music in iTunes and there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I follow some instructions regarding the Edit - Preferences - Advanced settings and the exclamation marks go away until I try to sync my phone again. Then I get the same error message and the exclamation marks return. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same thing happens again. I am about to schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar but would like to avoid that if possible. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello Courtney,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone. It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device. I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

Where are my iTunes files located?

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song? Is there a way to delete all instead of one at a time?

How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song? Can they be deleted all at once instead of one song at a time?

Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
Optional: It depends a bit on why things aren't where iTunes expects to find them but if they are in sensible Artist & Album folders in some common location then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread. Once you have repaired the tracks that can be found you can drag the contents of the Lost playlist into Found which will update things.
Or, you can simply delete all the tracks in the Lost playlist with Ctrl-A to select them and then Shift-Delete to delete.

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?

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.

When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black. Why?

When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black. Why? I can edit some photos, whereas others I can not.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

I am guessing that the library may reference some content which was not on the same drive - maybe it references some picture or music pulled from an iphoto or itunes library on another mac?
It does load the library, right? Can you skim or play the clips in there? Do some fail to play or show a warning yellow sign?
And, by the way 'SAN' stands for "storage area network" - don't worry about it, it does not apply.
