FCP X 10.0.9  Import Window doesn't show folders on desktop

Hello,
I have a number of folders on my desktop that contain movie files, jpeg files, you name it. When I try to import from the desktop, the import media window only shows the files and not the folders they are in! I have thousands of files on my desktop! For the life of me I can't figure this out. I have included a screen shot of what my window looks like when I select the desktop to import media. Again, I have a number of folders that don't show up, only the files in them. This is maddening when trying to import files! I know i can move the files to my hard drive but i am used to desktop work flow. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I've not heard of this problem before.
All I can suggest is to try trashing the preferences with this free app.

Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that  FCP X  is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

  • Skype window doesn't show up after logging in

     After I log in to Skype I see the icon show up in my task bar but the window doesn't show up and clicking on the icon doesn't do anything.
    And the times when the window DOES show up after signing in, it's not responding. 
    Is there a way to fix this? I have the latest version of Skype and am using Windows 8.1

    Ohh thanks guys!
    It worked as a charm, and thanks Brisbin33 for the autostart.sh tip.
    So the thing that caused my whole system not to work as it should was that I forgot to put a "&" after conky?
    haha that´s kinda anoying I have been sitting and looking through like a milllion files looking for the answer
    But again, really thanks!
    /Neuwerld
    that little "&" sends the conky process to the background freeing up the current process (your autostart.sh script) to finish doing what it's doing so you can move on to running openbox itself.  with this in mind, it should be obvious why keeping conky in the foreground would cause problems.
    also, replacing it with (sleep 1 && conky) & means... wait a second, when that's done successfully (&&) run conky, and put all of that () to the background.  that way openbox comes up immediatly and only a second later you've got your panel and monitor.
    all this after .xinitrc and before openbox

  • Serial entry window doesn't show up

    Hi,
    I have an application in TS 3.5 In fact i copied this application from a previous one. When i run a test, the serial input window doesn't show up. What is more when the main seq reaches end, it goes to cleanup, then postuut and then runs main sequence again immediately. But i want the operator to enter a serial number and initiaize the test. I never faced this problem before.
    I hope there's s'one who can help me soon

    What process model are you using?  Has it been modified? 
    Does your sequence file include the PreUUT callback sequence in it?   If so then you will not see the default serial number input dialog if you are using the Sequential Model and the TestUUTs entry point. 
    The serial dialog box is part of the PreUUT callback.  If you open your process model and then open the PreUUT sequence in there you should see two steps (assuming no one has changed it).  One displays the dialog and the other sets the serial number. 
    If your sequence file (not the process model) contains a green sequence called PreUUT then the one in the process model doesn't get called. 
    A good litmus test for this is- Open a blank sequence file.  Run it using Test UUTs.  If you see the serial input dialog then your model is good to go and the issue is with your sequence file.  If you don't see that dialog then something has changed in your model.
    Hope this helps,

  • Login Window doesn't show all account

    Hi all folks,
    I migrate an old OS X Leopard with some Accounts to OS X Yosemite but the Login Window doesn't show all Accounts.
    And the Guest Account and the Other Account icon is outside the screen.
    Any idea how to order the Accounts in the Login Window, it seems to be the Login Window can't handle more than five Accounts.
    Thanks for any suggestion,

  • Aperture 3 Import Dialog Doesn't Show Any Images

    Sometimes the import dialog just doesn't show any images. First time I encountered this I had to restart Aperture. But now even that doesn't help.
    Screenshot:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1250153/a3.png
    Any ideas or fixes?

    Hello qua
    You don't say what your source is when your imports have been experiencing problems. Are you importing directly from a camera (or a card in a card reader)? Or are you importing images which have already been downloaded to your hard disk?
    I've just completed importing approximately 5,000 images which date back to 2001, across several hundred projects. These have, obviously, been imported from an existing disk-based archive. Every so often, I'd find what you've described - the import window with the source correctly selected, but no preview images. I never worked out a pattern for this behaviour. However, I found dealing with it +for my particular circumstances+ was as simple as pressing <escape> to cancel the import and then immediately beginning the import again. It never failed on the second time around. I never needed (for this problem) to quit and restart Aperture, let alone reboot my system.
    The problem I just described was being experienced on a fully patched 3.0.1 system. Of course, you might be experiencing something slightly different...

  • Login window doesn't show up after installing

    So I downloaded all the updated released yesterday, including 10.5.2 combo update, Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 & iLifeSupport 8.2. Then I installed them all, restarted my Mac just fine. However, after I installed Application Enhancer & logged out, the login window couldn't show up ever since.
    Then I tried the following solutions:
    1 startup in single-user mode, fully mounted the boot volume, removed /Library/Application Enhancers & /Library/Preferences/Application Enhancer.prefPane ; then I tried to reboot, login window didn't show up.
    2 startup in single-user mode again, fully mounted the boot volume, used the following command:
    mv /Library/StartupItems StartupItemsOld
    mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist preferenceOld
    mv /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist loginwindowOld
    mv /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService DirectoryServiceOld
    rebooted again, login window still doesn't show up.
    So if anyone could help me out, Thank you very very much!
    also, I found two strange files in the root directory: mach_kernel, mach_kernel.ctfsys. What are this two files for?

    Sounds like you need to run the repair disk routine on the installation disk's version of Disk Utility. Failing that, you could try going into single user mode on startup. Restart the Mac while holding both CMD & S. When you see the code screen and prompt >, type *fsck -fy* (note the space after the k) then hit return. Hopefully things get repaired. Once complete type reboot and hit return

  • Imported video doesn´t show up

    Hello people, I am a Flash beginner user
    I am trying to import a .flv video to my flash website
    I do it by choosing the "Progressive download from a webserver" option
    In the .swf file generated, the video runs normally , but when I run my website trough the index.html file and I go
    to the page where It is supposed to be, the video doesn´t show up, as if it never existed
    I don´t know what may be hapenning.
    Thank you very much.
    Best Regards

    Hello.
    I haven´t uploaded the website to the server yet,
    the video doens´t show up even when I run the index.htm file form my desktop !
    I ask myself if it might be a problem of layer order or something.

  • Chinese Pinyin input candidate window doesn't Show up

    Hi,
    Sometimes when I switch to Pinyin (Simplified Chinese) input mode, when I start typing, the candidate window (that lists possible matches) doesn't show up, but if I type space it still produces the first candidate. This problem is not consistent, sometimes it occurs, other times it's fine.
    This happens everywhere, in browsers, text editors, etc.
    Any idea what the problem might be?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    I don't know what causes the problem. But I know a solution that you may try next time the candidate window disappears.
    Click the language symbol in the menu bar, and open "Preferences". Then choose the "Candidate Window" tab, and change the window direction to "Vertical". Close the Preferences window, and try to type something in any text field/box. You'll see the candidate window comes back.

  • The main window doesn't show up anymore when I launch iPhoto.

    The problem occurs on an iMac / Mavericks 10.9 / iPhoto 9.5. In the last days, iPhoto used to crash several times, and now the main window doesn't open when I lauch the app. Fortunately, if I want to access from the menu another Library, it works, So that I can repeat the procedure and access, by doing so, the default Library that doesn't open. There must be a corrupted file somewhere, I presume. But now, what to do? With Time Machine I could get iPhoto from a time it worked well. But this didn't change anything. Thanks for an advice to solve this annoying problem.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Bonjour Windows Doesn't show any printers

    Hi, i got the ePrint app on my iphone and am trying to set it up. It shows two ways to connect either through bonjour or an ip address. I have the ip but it doesn't work when i type it in. Bonjour loads up fine it just doesn't show my printer, below is my printer I was able to pull up all this relevant info.
    Network Printer Name: 520C85000000
    Bonjour Service Name: Canon MP560 series _520C85000000
    I went through the firewall and it shows that i have given bonjour access to pass through but it can't find my printer what do i do?

    Thank you. This has not solved the problem however. We followed the instructions to verify that it is finding the driver correctly. It is finding the correct driver for the printer.
    Once we had completed this Bonjour registered a printer, an HP Photosmart. We are working with an epson2200, and did not have any HP items selected or installed. While perhaps this is a step in the right direction (previously Bonjour showed no printers available...)
    Any other references you can think of that might help?
    Thank you Thank you. Much obliged.

  • The bookmarks library window doesn't show my bookmarks folders in the left pane anymore

    When I click "bookmarks", then "show all bookmarks" it brings me to the library window. My bookmarks folders don't show up in the left pane anymore. Before, you could click onto a folder in the left pane and it would show all of the bookmarks that are in that folder in the right pane. What happened?

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
