Have you closed the Canvas? Have you gone to the menu Window > Canvas to toggle it on?
If so and it has not appeared, have you moved the Canvas so that it is hidden, or mostly off screen? Type Control - U to reposition all windows in their standard position.
Is the timeline missing as well? If so go to the menu File > New > Sequence and create a new sequence. Does it reappear then?
If all this does not help, then your preferences may have become corrupt and you many need to trash them. Go to:

and download Prefernce Manager (free) to reset your preferences.

The Custom layouts will appear greyed out until you create one first. From the FCP manual:
More info at:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=10%2 6section=3%26tasks=true
Again, if you are following this procedure and it is not working, try trashing your preferences.

I have lost my mail and the bullet on bottom of page. How do I restore?

I have a Macbook Pro and I have done something that has lost my mail. I have tried going to the mail account but I cannot figure out what I have done. Also I have lost the rocket that usually appears at the bottom of my window. I think it may be something I have done but not sure what it was.

What Mac OS X version are you using?
Does the Mail window open? If so, please post a screenshot of the mail window as you see it now. Use command-shift-4 and drag across to take the screenshot, and the camera Icon on the forums to include it in a post.

I lost sound. In systems/sound all options are greyed out

I lost sound. In systems/sound all options are greyed out

Try resetting your SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Then make sure in system prefs/sound/output that you've selected internal speakers.

After update in ipad3 to iOS 7.1.1 I have lost all sound and the usual hard reboot, checking settings, etc have not worked. Help!

How can I get my sound back on my ipad3? It has continually lost sound, but before I could do a hard reboot, reset settings, etc and get it back. After updating to iOS 7.1.1 the sound is totally gone and nothing restores it. Anything else I can try?

Hi Mimipat72,
There may be a couple of things that are affecting the sound on your iPad. It sounds like you have already tried restarting and resetting which are good general troubleshooting steps. I suggest first checking in Settings > Sounds and making sure all sounds are turned on. The following article describes these steps.
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5800
If the sound settings are correct and you still have no sound, the next thing I would check would be the side switch. The side switch can either be set to lock the rotation of the iPad or mute the sounds. If the side switch is set to Mute, make sure it is toggled to allow sound. If the side switch is set to Lock Rotation, you will need to open the iPad Control Center to make sure sounds are not muted. The following article explains these functions.

Nope. If you didn't have find my iphone turned on, you will not be able to locate it. File a police report, and contact your carrier.

Define Custom Shape Option is Greyed out

I'd appreciate any help that could be provided, I have not been able to define custom shapes in CS6. I'm using the pen tool in shape mode, I've used the path selection tool and switched between the path operations. I've made sure that the shape is selected in the paths work bar. Nothing seems to open up the define custom shape option. Is there a setting I'm neglecting to check? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I just tried deleting first just the tool preferences, and then all the photoshop preferences. There has been no change...Still unable to get define custom shape as an option.
I've also tried using the path option instead of the shape selection and that also makes no difference.
Just as a note I have used the same steps on another computer running CS6 and it functions 100% properly.

I have lost my ipod and the battery has run out

help please

(glad you appreciated it.)
Unfortunately, it's simply a matter of physically looking for it, and start by (as Squishpoke suggests) remembering where you were when you last saw it.
It happens to all of us, when you mislay something, you have to look for it and there's no magical method for an iPod that has run out of power.
...and if I applied a metal detector to my face, I guess it would bleep due to the tooth caps in my mouth!

Firefox 4.01 downloads files but the downloads windows greys out the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options and I can't trace the files

Three days ago I upgraded to Firefox 4.01. I downloaded several files that were ok. Yesterday and today I downloaded one powerpoint file and a an apple *.dmg file.
On the Download window these two files I can see with the total mb in size. However when I right click the file list in the Download window the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options are greyed out. What is more I cannot find these files anywhere on my computer when I use Windows Explorer to search.
It seems that this happened after I tried to download a Firefox add on from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/64761/amazonassist-0.7.2.6-fx.xpi and my antivirus picked up the JS/Kryptik.AK trojan and terminated the connection. Is there a link with the problem I am experiencing?
I use Windows 7 professional, Firefox 4.01

You're welcome

I have lost the password and the DVD is not working on my old mac G4 500mhz, how can I get back my password?

I have lost my password and the DVD is not working on my old mac desktop G4 500mhz. I have tried use the boot up disk to change the admin password. But the DVD did not work. ( I did not touch this machine for years.) But i need retreive something , so I have tried the shell script in the terminal
1. fsck-y and the mount-uw to try to change and find the service directory's plist to change the password. But after I get the mount -uw, it show illegal option message.
What I can do now to solve this problem? in shell script or any other way?
Thx in advance.

Hi,
A DVD drive that is not working after many years not used:
most probably dust on the little laser lens.
Take the drive out and if you can reach this lens: clean it with pure alcohol on Q-Tip.
Many people throw away cd or dvd players all the time because they stopped working, and very often it can easily be fixed by cleaning this lens.
I used to have a G5, where I couldn't access that lens. It was very sensitive to dust.
I have fixed it several times with compressed air. One time I didn't have canned air, but a bikepump did the trick.
If you have another mac, I'd try to access the G4 internal disk with firewire target disk mode.
good luck

I have an MP4 home vid in itunes. I cannot get it onto my ipad. I tried "create new version" to make it into a format suitable for ipad, but the options were greyed out. Any help appreciated.

I have created a home video, using my Panasonic Camera, and a high definition SD card. It is now on my computer as anMTS file, which I converted into an MP4 as well.
But I cannot get this file onto my ipad. I have tried countless ways. I finally today thought I had the answer..........the MP4 file is now in Itunes (I hate itunes, it is so user-unfriendly) and I read that I need to click on it, go to "create new version" and select the ipad version. But those options were greyed out. !!! Aaargh! Frustration! Any help gratefully recieved.

You can try and import your MP4 using free OPlayer HD Lite via File Sharing.

I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.
