Exclamation marks in iPhoto

Can anybody tell me what is going on here? I made a photo disc the other day. When I went to play it on the TV, in the preview pane, a few of my photos were not showing up. It there place was a yellow triangular sign with an exclamation mark dead centered. Then on another project, I chose an album in iPhoto and proceded to order an album book. When the photos were finished uploading, the preview showed those flip'n exclamation marks on a lot of my photos. Can somebody tell me what these mean and how to avoid this in the future.
Thanks

That means that the picture's resolution is too low for it to come out at the best quality

Okay. If that is the reason, why wouldn't it be viewable on the TV low resolution or not?
When looking at the photo in iPhoto, it seems fine, doesn't show a mark. Is iPhoto saying you can't include that photo because the resolution is to low? What is the lowest resolution allowable before you get the stupid(!) ?

I was having the same problem too. Is there a way to fix this problem? How do you acquire more resolution?

1. Turn the settings on your camera to the highest quality
2. Get a new camera

actually these photos are old ones that I have scan, it has nothing to do with the camera. I have a 5 mg now , so the recent ones are not a problem. Is there something I can do in photoshop, or third party software. Some of the photos are of my grandmother and they are old, some black and whites., etc

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Nope, only thing you could do is rescan them at a higher quality
