Yellow Exclamation Point (Caution) Icon?

When I burn a cd, the cd icon that should pop up pops up as a yellow exclamation point Icon. The cd works. Also, one of my programs on my computer has turned from its normal icon to this one. The program still opens. What's going on? Similarily, when I put in an audio cd, the same Icon appears, but the cd works. Again, no disc icon, but a Yellow Triangle icon.

Hi Tom,
By right clicking on the exclamation mark and going to RELINK I got all the missing files retrieved and that has been sorted. The only thing now is that as I have marked around the area with a square shape, that logo/marking is there which I sense is something to do with the sound but I right clicked on that and also retrieved three missing sound files and got them retrieved, however, the sign is still there.

  • The HP 4215 icon shows a Yellow exclamation point across it. .

    I am helping my Aunt.  She purchased a new HP Pavilion, Windows 7, to replace her Pavilion HP XP.   Her printer, an HP 4215 that worked with her HP 4215 All in One that worked with her previous Pavilion, is not being recognized by the new HP Pavilion.   The HP 4215 icon shows a Yellow exclamation point across it.  The Universal Print Driver is not seeing it.  How do I get it to recognize this printer, which was working fine with Windows XP?

    Hi again,
    On the PC, down along the bottom by the clock, is there an icon that looks like a printer.  If so, hover over it with the mouse and see if it shows documents pending or printer offline.  If it does, then double click on the printer to open the dialogue box.  Click on "Printer" and see if there is a check mark on "printer ... offline".  If so, then click on the check mark to remove it and it should move your printer to online.
    See if this helps.

  • My Audio occasionally moves itself and then yellow exclamation point comes up?

    When I work on my IMovie sometimes and I'm scrolling to get back to the start, it would all lag and freeze for a few seconds, then when it stops all my audio has moved to different places and my video clips have changed length. Recently now, yellow exclamation points have been coming up on my audio leaving me unable to play them. If you have any solution it would be very helpful.

    Katy, you are completely doing things in the wrong order.  You can't burn songs if you can't even play them, and iTunes can't play them if it can't find them. 
    The exclamation point normally occurs if the song file, or one of its containing folders, has been moved, renamed or deleted.  So if you encounter a track with an exclamation point, don't do anything else until you find the file.  It is usually somewhere else on your hard drive, or else in the Recycle bin.  Failing both of those, get it from your most recent backup.
    After your restore it, make sure it can play.  If it can play you can put it into a playlist.  Then you can burn the playlist.

  • Pop up error message with yellow exclamation point disappears too fast cannot read it

    I am getting a pop up error message with a yellow triangle and yellow exclamation point in Safari but it immediately disappears after it appears. This happens so fast that I cannot read the error message. A java applet for my bank's website is not running properly and knowing what the error message is might help solve the problem. Help please.

    Since upgrading to Mac OS X Mountain Lion with the latest security updates, this annoying problem has disappeared.

  • When I try to send a photo in iPhoto I get a yellow exclamation point

    when I try to email a picture from Iphoto it gives me an yellow exclamation point
    and won't send
    anybody know why

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • Can't restore iPod after seeing the "Exclamation point folder icon"

    My iPod showed me the "Exclamation point folder icon" out of the blue... i tried resetting, restoring (upgraded to 7.1 in the process) but when i connect the ipod to my computer it still shows me the icon, then the Apple sign, then "Do not disconnect" (while charging) and then the ipod itself starts clicking...
    any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! very furstrated over here...

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level

    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Little green man with yellow exclamation point

    Woke up this morning, my Droid X was off. Pressed the power button and got a little green man with a yellow exclamation point in a triangle above his head. Thought this meant I had to charge phone so I plugged it in. Four hours later, still with the little man. This is my only phone so I really need to get this resolved as quickly as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    That is the screen that puts you into "maintenance" mode, for lack of another term.  Power it off, if you can. Or just do a BATTERY PULL and repower up.  If it is "stuck" on that screen after the battery pull, there is a menu of options that you can get into from that screen. Just press the SEARCH button (far right bottom button) ... that will bring up a menu of options. You scroll through the options using the volume controls ... and to SELECT an option from that menu, use the Camera button. (One of the options is a factory reset ...  which should be the very last option you want to do of course if nothing else works.)
    You're charging from a wall outlet, right? and not the USB PC charger.

  • Restored IPOD but still seeing exclamation point folder icon -- Help!

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get my IPOD back up and running and am having difficulty. I've tried all the Rs and downloaded the iTunes 7.0 software. After restoring it twice, I was disappointed to see it didn't work. I'm still seeing the icon with the exclamation point and my computer is not recognizing it. Still says it's corrupted and needs to be restored. I go through the process but it always returns to the corrupted status. Any other suggestions? I'd like to repair it myself but don't know where else to look in terms of what part to replace.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Help! Ipod nano with exclamation point folder icon.

    My ipod nano (1st gen) showed a folder icon with exclamation point after an unsuccessful sycronization. Then the ipod didn't work anymore. I tried several times to use the reset method mentioned here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61003 without any success. Basically, after I force it into disk mode, my computer still did not recognize it and asked me to insert the disk (when click with right button).
    Since I bought it more than one year ago, the warranty has expired. So return it to apple is probably not a viable option. I am wondering whether there is anything else I can to to fix the problem? Does anybody know what kind of problem it might be, hardware problem or just the software screwed.
    Thanks in advance.

    In my opinion, iPod with exclmation mark folder icon means a corrupted OS with an iPod.
    . Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored.

  • Exclamation Point Folder Icon

    Ok... I am having serious iPod issues. Its an iPod mini 2nd gen, 6 GB. I dropped it while working out, and now all it shows is an icon of a folder and an exclamation point. I have tried everything except a restore, but I can't even get it to show up in iTunes or in Windows Explorer when I connect it to my computer, so I can't force it into disk mode or do a restore. It never had this problem before I dropped it. Is it forever dead? Is there any way to get my music off it even if it won't function anymore? I don't have the songs backed up on my computer. Help!
    I have toggled the hold button.
    I have held down the menu button and the select button simultaneously for 6-10 secs as instructed...several times.
    I've updated my iTunes.
    I have tried forcing the iPod into disk mode by resetting it and then holding the select button and play/pause button. It doesn't work.
    I still have the "Exclamation point and Folder" icon displayed on my iPod mini.

    Hi There,
    I'm having the same problems with mine, a 30G iPhoto. I plugged it into my computer and it didn't get recognized at all. I unplugged it and that's when the folder and exclamation point showed up. I have tried just about everything on these forums: reset, hold switch toggle, disc mode and several scans, even the smack on the hard surface (which worked last time I ran into a problem, which that time was the frown face.) The document linked above talks about restoring the iPod, but I can't get it to show up on iTunes, so that doesn't seem to be an option. I can force it into disc mode, but so far no luck with any of the options there.
    Any other options? Is it worth taking in to Apple? Thanks for any and all help!

  • Why do I get a yellow exclamation point with red background when exporting to YouTube using compressor?

    Whenever I try to export using FCPX and Compressor 4 I always get something that looks like this: 
    Any idea why that is? I'm using all default settings on the youtube export, and I'm transcoding it using another mac via compressor.

    None of these answers are correct. The error favicon happens in Firefox for Android occasionally. When the browser is offline or on a poor network connection you will get a timeout error page.
    We have a bug where the icon persists on reload. With a little time the favicon cache will expire and the favicon will be updated to the correct one.
