The folder with the question mark comes every day. I can connect by reselection of start-up, but how can I avoid this problem happening every day? I ran the first aid successfully. MacBook Air 2011, El Capitan 10.11.5
Problem persists, every day. Able to bypass, but would love for the problem to occur. Problem when it's on battery or plugged in. A run first aid on the disc and has demonstrated no error.
Try a SCM and reset NVRAM:

This is a guess on my part, but no harm can come to your MBA by performing these.
Ciao.

I recently dropped my laptop and it is weird, one day he int open up to 4 start times and sometimes it shows me a folder and a question mark in the interface and sometimes asked to reset my password, what are the steps to take?
Anything can be corrupted on your MacBook Pro, but from what you say, it seems that the cable drive/SSD/flash memory/SATA hard was seriously damaged. Him "question mark" means that your Mac is unable to find any bootable device, meaning that it does not yet detect your OS X drive.
You should make a backup of your files (if you can still do it) and take the Mac at the Apple Store or dealer to get a diagnosis. There may be several damaged parts.

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,

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?

Small box with yellow question mark!
I downloaded pictures from iPhoto via documents. Imported OK, but have since deleted documents images and now when to access the images (in items 11) 'missing file' message and small box with a question mark in it in the upper left corner. Guess I'd not deleted documents? Situation is recoverable?
Thanks Maz
You are right. You remove all the photos from its original location.
The import function simply creates links to your photos for Organizer to find them quickly.
It is may be recoverable. In windows, they must be in your trash or the "trash". T #Just open the tray and select all the files using Windows Explorer and then right click and follow the instructions. You must restore the files to their original location.
Good luck.
