Hi Mac,
What version of iPhoto are you using?
The ! Or ? Turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the
thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
If iPhoto '08:
Try rebuilding the database.
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto.
Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

If iPhoto '09:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Hold down the Option & Command Keys and click the iPhoto icon to
open iPhoto.
A dialog appears, showing options for rebuilding your photo thumbnails.
3. Select one of the following checkboxes:
Rebuild the photos’ small thumbnails: This option rebuilds only the
small versions of the thumbnails, such as those that appear in the
photo browser when you are creating a book or slideshow.
Rebuild all the photos’ thumbnails: This option rebuilds all the
thumbnails associated with a photo, including the small ones and the
thumbnails that appear in a photo album or Event.
4. Click Rebuild.
Rebuilding the thumbnail cache may take several minutes.
Cheers,
Ronni
