Can't see my files in Navigation panel of Library

This is my third effort at posting thjis question - the last two came back "Error - can't post blank message" I just sent a test message all in text and it went, so I'll try sending without screen shots.
Usually when I Import I select what I want to Import from the left panel of the Library interface. I open Folders, then my C drive (whatever) and go from there. My entire file structure is displayed and I can navigate anywhere I want.
Tonight all that is displayed under Folders - C Drive is a listing of already imported folders. It's a list compiled from within Lightroom, not my computer's file directory.
I am not in Catalog and there is no slider to the left of the list - plus the list is not even a portion of my file list, it is something altogether else.
I was able to do a clumsy import by using File Import, which brought up an interface I have never seen before, much less used. I was able to "select a source" there and browse my files. But it was unfamiliar and I need to get my navigation window back to showing what's on my C drive when I click Folders - C Drive. Help?
Sorry about no screen shots, I'm afraid to lose another message. Fingers crossed.
Thanks

Jim (also Geoff and Hal)-
Still haven't solved this. Here's another try at a screenshot, showing just below this text for me, of my Library interface showing the C drive listed in the left panel and not showing the C drive contents. Only, as you said is intended, what is already in Lightroom.
I thought if I was not in "Catalog" I had been able, in the past, to select from anything in my C crive simply by opening that folder in the panel.
When I click import it is usually - from memory - to start the import of the already selected items. For a time that's what was happening from the above screen if I selected Import. It would apparently start re-importing the selected items and without presenting the usual familiar dialog asking about file naming, etc. Now, however, clicking Import bring up this:
Never saw this black horizontal dialog box before this situation arose. I was able to import but not as usual and I would like to get back the square (moreso at least) "white" dialog box. No clue what's going on or how to get bact to familiar ground. Ideas?

    Can't see .cfm files in Design view in Dreamweaver CC.

    Hi pkregel,
    Do these files open as intended in Dreamweaver CS6? I am not a CF expert but I am guessing that if you are able to open the files, then you should be able to see them in both the views. Can you post a screenshot as well?
    Thanks,

    How can I see my files on Time Capsul

    Do you mean Time Machine files or ordinary files.. ??
    Did you copy files to the TC? It should just open in the finder as long as the TC is available and the airport utility shows it connected.
    If you want to see the contents of the TM files.. open the sparsebundle and use main Time Machine icon in the dock.

    I can't see some files, or videos, in web, I can't download adobe player

    Well, I don't know what the problem actually is in the first place, it should work as is, I think something is messed up with the present driver and replacing it would perhaps get around that problem.
    It seems like I'd be adding one more layer of complexity to the Vista machine...
    Not sure how the Vista machine is involved in this, since these are drivers for the Mac.
    Though to involve the Vista Machine, One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for you PCs... allows them to Read/Write HFS+...

  • Can't see Stream Files in administration console !!

    I have created a new Directory called "mydir" into the
    Application Directory Of Flash Media Server.
    I copied my "mydir.flv" file into ths directory.
    But :
    Problem 1 : I can't see this file in the Stream Section of
    the Administration Console.
    Problem 2 : I can't access the adress :
    rtmp://localhot/mydir/mydir.flv
    Please, help me since I must have forgoten some essential
    steps in my Server Installation process.
    Thanks

    The reason you can't see the streams is because they only
    show up when they are being accessed (played) which is probably the
    dumbest thing ever. Anyhow, as for the URL not working, not exactly
    sure why, but I know this is dumb, you have a typo: rtmp://localho
    St/mydir/mydir.flv

  • Can't see ADMX files in Group Policy Editor

    I have a problem with ADMX files on my Server 2008 r2 group policy. I start by going to group policy editor. Then I browse to Computer Policy and then Administrative Templates. There is nothing in there... Which is weird... There has always been stuff there...
    So, then I go in to add templates back in... I find the ADMX files in C:\Windows\Policy Definitions and also \\domain\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions and go to Add/Remove Templates. I click add and then browse to either directory (which has ADMX files
    in them!) and see nothing. ADM files I can see fine. But ADMX I can't see. So, I see these links:
    2008 R2 Server GP can't see admx files
    I can't see admx files
    Looking at them, they both say I should be able to see ADMX files in the central store...So I manually copy the ones in C:\Windows\Policy Definitions to the SYSVOL central store. Restart group policy editor... Nothing there when I browse the settings...
    Still not able to add templates.
    It looks like group policy editor doesn't know about ADMX files at all... Is there a registry setting or something that "enables" the ADMX files?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    In gpedit / gpmc, the menu item : "Action -> Add/Remove Templates", is only applicable/useful for the older/legacy ADM files - the menu item isn't relevant for ADMX/ADML files at all.
    The most common reason for an "empty" list of Administrative Templates settings, is an incorrect configuration of the Central Store.
    The usual guidance tells us to place ADMX files here, to setup a CS:
    \\domain\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\
    This folder/file structure has to mimic what you would see at: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\
    If your domain is named contoso.com, you would need this:
    contoso.com\SYSVOL\contoso.com\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\
    In that folder, reside your ADMX files.
    You also need the relevant locale subfolder, and in there, you need the matching ADML files.
    The best way to establish that, is to go to  C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\ on your RSAT PC, or DC, and copy all the contents including subfolders and files, into the equivalent folder of your CS.
    Then exit GPMC (if you had it opened), and re-launch GPMC. No need to to anything else in GPMC, it will automatically, by default, look for a CS first, and, if no CS is found, will revert to the local policydefinitions folder structure.
    But, if the CS folder structure exists *AND* is incomplete or incorrect, you will get your symptom.

  • Windows Server 2008r2 - Users somtimes can't see new files in folders unless a new file is created.

    Hello Folks!
    My users sometimes have a problem that user A sometimes can't see a file created or copied by user B to a directory within a share they can both access. Both are within the same group which grants them Full Access on the share, settings for permissions are
    correctly set to be applied on directories, subdirectories and files.. Confusingly, this can be fixed when user A creates some kind of file (empty .txt, for example); the "missing" files will suddenly appear.
    Windows Server 2008r2, DC
    Windows File Server 2008r2, shares and files are located here.
    ABENUM activated, needed for several folders.
    The Domain-Admin Account is able to see all the files all the time.
    Anybody got an idea what I could check?
    Thank you very much!
    Kind regards,
    Boris

    Hi,
    When you use user A access the shared folder, did you do the refresh to check the result?
    If the issue persists, please try to install this hotfix:

  • I am logged in to my Acrobat account but I can't see my files?

    I have Acrobat on my iPad which is connected to my Acrobat account. I use it to read my ebooks just fine. But when I installed Acrobat on my Android phone and logged in, I can't see the files that I have on my iPad?
    Is this a bug or is there something I'm not getting here?

    When you read the ebooks on your iPad (with you logged in using your Acrobat account), did you explicitly save those files to Acrobat.com? Are you able to access those same files in browser?

  • Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- but can not see hidden files

    Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- read on how to do this, but this involves being able to see the hidden fiels -- but can not see hidden files...any suggestions. Would like to transfer these files from iPod Touch to new laptop without software -- is that possible -- if not can anyone recommend a good free software to use?

    There is no way to do so without software. I recently had a similiar task and was suggested to use iExplorer. It worked like a charm. 
    Refer to this page for iExplorer
    Here is the page I was helped with on this task for reference: Export Songs
    Hope this helps!

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?
