• New record of question mark SSHD screnn

  My Seagate SSHD should fail, so I ordered a replacement.

  In the meantime I backed up with time machine on my external hard drive in my MacBook, and then I created a bootable USB key.

  This morning, I replaced the SSHD with a new one, but I get the white screen with a folder with an exclamation mark.

  It also happened that the laptop turns off unexpectedly. Could you help me please understand what is happening?

  Thanks yo!

  The question mark appears when the drive specified in the last

  System Preferences > startup drive...

  ... is not available. Your Mac can't find the boot drive, or the drive specified is not a bootable disk (does not contain Mac OS X).

  --------

  Start with the Alt/Option key, select your key USB Bootable and install on the new SSD.

  Long-term, make sure that you enable some version of TRIM, especially if your SSD is only 8 x the size of Mac OS X or smaller.

• Start with blinking question mark folder

  Hey guys, English is not my mother tongue and so I must apologize for my bad English, everything first.

  Okay so here is my question:

  I had a folder of flashing question mark when I rebooted my macbook pro retina (13.3 "end 2015, OS X 10.11.4 beta 6) last week.

  So I get in recovery HD to see if if I can do a clean to fix install, but I can't find my disk to reinstall OS X, he showed is nothing.

  Then I restart my mac again and again, sometimes I can boot normally.

  But I can't found anything wrong, he just worked as usual, until what I restarted again, dead again.

  I took it to the authorized service provider Apple to fix my mac. Yes, there is no official bar of the Apple Store and genius in my country.

  They thought that my drive was dead, so they substitute a new drive for my, it took me a week to get my mac.

  It seemed to work perfectly, so I restore my data by Time machine and upgrade to 10.11.4 beta 7.

  Yesterday the 10.11.4 came out, so I updated my mac to this version.

  But when it is restarted during installation, it showed the issue of question mark again.

  After a few attempt to reboot, it finished installing. then I tried to reboot to see if it's good or not.

  Unfortunately, it came with this folder again. So I turn it off.

  After half an hour, I tried to start it again, it starts.

  Everything seemed normal, I checked the S.M.A.R.T by DriveDx and the data were all good.

  I fix the permission by DiskWarrior and it says no need to repair.

  But I always get the record of question mark with 1/10 chance when it start.

  I don't know what happened to my mac, is there anyone has a suggestion?

  Thank you

  A,

• Question mark flashing at startup

  Spring 2011 MBP with EL Capitan.  Thus, used my MBP last night and he started beachballing and force apps to quit smoking, I started but performance has not improved and the beachballing continued.  Was not yet able to click on the Apple icon to restart.  So, off the power by using the power button to restart as I did several times.  Reverse and get the screen gray with the folder icon and flashing question mark.  Completely bewildered, because I have never seen it before.  Restart again trying to reset the LANDAU thought that might have some effect, nothing will do. So, do a quick search on the old smartphone and find out how to get into recovery mode.  Go to the utility disk and look for my HARD drive, but he's not here.  Only disk 0 and then below Base of OS X system, something like that, don't remember what he said exactly.  Yes, I knocked at the realization that my HARD drive is erased, but I wonder if it is indeed cleared or if some kind of virus or something could have caused this and that, somewhere, my HARD drive is still intact.  I know it's probably a long shot and wishful thinking, but I'm exploring all the possibilities before you restore from my backup.  I have not saved in a few months, so I really hope this is the case, because I've probably lost some important stuff...

  Any help would be appreciated...

  Thank you!!

  I opened my garageband, but I does not, because there was a question mark hollow garageband icon, then I restarted the computer, it normally restarted (whithout saying I restarted the computer because of a problem), and when it was made of built-in apps were question marks, were not in the program and "it is not found on the computer.

  The? means that the location for the file specified in the Dock cannot be found.

  You said "were not in the programs.

  Did you mean that they are not located in the Applications folder? Windows has a record of programs, not OSX.

  You said "when I tried to re - download from the internet, said yes and it did not work."?

  What happened when you tried?

  The missing applications are in the purchase of the Mac App Store section?

• I have a Leica LR but my creative cloud annual subscription has expired, my Lightroom my LR library for 2015 and beyond now has a question mark and I can't open pictures

  I have a subscription valid and active Leica camera.

  How can I get Adobe to recognize? My creative cloud has expired. I'm frozen out of my photo library

  Using the redemption code Leica I downloaded successfully updated day to day LR 6 but my LR library for 2015 and beyond now has a question mark, and I can't open the images.

  Any suggestions?

  Is this something that Adobe has to rectify?

  Thank you

  John

  The question mark has nothing to do with your subscription at the end. The question mark on your records indicates that Lightroom cannot find the photos, because they have been moved or renamed, or delete outside of Lightroom. The instructions to fix it are: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

• Problem importing and including subfolders without question marks

  I am trying to import a folder of vacation pictures. It has 5000 photos and there are many subfolders. It is important where I want to, but it gives me question marks on all subfolders. And subfolders are empty, even if he tells me how many photos in the folder. I right click the question marked records, then point out where they are, and he's saying they're already here and I want to merge the files. In the import I said to include subfolders. I tried this twice and each time the same results. Very frustrating to have to scroll through thousands of photos. what I am doing wrong.

  What happens if you right-click on the E in folder in the library and select hide this Parent. You can make it go again.

• Characters such as apostrophes and the french quotes turn into boxes or question marks

  We recently upgraded from CF5 to CF7 and encounter a problem with the previously saved text more correctly displayed. Some characters (apparently, non-ASCII characters as curly apostrophes and quotation marks) are made in the form of boxes or question marks. We have recently upgraded to Oracle 10 g to Oracle 8i, but this problem appears to be independent of the database stored in the text. Some examples of code that illustrates the problem:
  
  < CFSET string1 = 'Department' >
  < CFSET string2 = "' Hey - it" > "
  
  < CFOUTPUT >
  string1 is #string1 #.
  < BR >
  string2 is #string2 #.
  < / CFOUTPUT >
  
  output looks like this:
  
  string1 is Department? s
  string2 is good? He
  
  These are rendered as boxes seen in Internet Explorer. (They appear as question marks when I copy and paste here.)
  
  The UDF Demoronize helps to * some * of the time, but it's past still with lots of text, in particular the text that gets pasted from a Web site into a form, and then saved in a database. Does anyone have a solution for this? It is breaking my apps and incredibly annoying. I would like to either replace the problematic characters by the time they are displayed, or the replacement when they are entered into the database first place (and go back and update all previously recorded data to replace problematic characters with plain text equivalents).
  
  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Finally, I've isolated the problematic characters so I edited the UDF (available at cflib.org) DeMoronize by adding replacements following text at the bottom:

  text = Replace (text, chr (8208), "-", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8209), "-", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8210), "-", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8211), "-", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8212), "-", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8213), "-", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8214), "|", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8215), "_", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8216), "'", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8217), "'", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8218), ",", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8219), "'", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8220), "" "," ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8221), "" "," ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8222), "" "," ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8223), "" "," ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8226), "·", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8227), ">", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8228), ".", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8229), "..", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8230), "...", "ALL");
  text = Replace (text, chr (8231), "·", "ALL");

• Blue square with a question mark instead of a picture

  I'm on Messages to use with your Mac - Apple Support.

  Instead of pictures (or), I get a blue square with a question mark in it.

  This does not happen with all Web sites, but I wonder why it's happening with an Apple site, and how I can see the photos.

  It sounds like a broken image link.

  Post a screenshot if you can, so that we can confirm. The page seems OK after a glance. Command + shift + 4 then do slide on the affected area, add the image to the desktop to this site via the camera icon.

  If you have browser extensions, disable them and repeat the test. Also try a different web browser if possible to see if it is the scale of the system or only Safari. Is - this Safari you use?

• Mac mini (late 2012) flashing - question mark folder recovery does not work

  Hi all

  earlier today, I upgraded my Mac mini (end 2012) to the latest version of macOS Sierra.

  After 1 hour of use, I realized that many of my plugins FCPX were not working.

  I contacted the developers, and they said does not update the plugins and they told me to go back to El Capitan.

  I decided to listen to them and try to downgrade my OS.

  I restarted the Mac and held down Cmd - R or something like that that took me to the disk utility screen.

  Then I went down to dinner, and when I returned 30 minutes later my Mac had entered the sleep mode for some reason any.

  I woke up the Mac and 40 seconds later the power went out for 5-10 minutes.

  After the blackout, I restarted my Mac that took me to a black screen with a flashing question mark folder.

  I followed some tutorials online (including how to enter get - and the recovery of internet mode), but after a while even restoration of the internet shows me the flashing question mark folder.

  I don't know what to do.

  And no - unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup.

  But I have a backup with all my most important files.

  Is it possible to force the Mac to reset itself or something like that?

  Help, please.

  Best regards
