I can't get Canvas or Timeline to open!

'm completely new to Final Cut Pro (I just got Studio), and I'm having a problem: I open up Final Cut Pro, open a new project, and I only get the Browser and Viewer windows. I go to Window/Arrange, and I still can't open up the Timeline or the Canvas. I would just double click on a Sequence, but I don't know what the difference is between a sequence and a clip.
Just to help you guys out, I'm working on the "Into the Blue" thing from the Training DVD; I had started working on it, but quit Final cut, and when I double clicked on the Project (I Saved it to Mac HD) to open it, I only get the Browser and Viewer. Please forgive my ignorance, but help! I'm panicking because I don't know what to do!

  • Can't get Canvas and Timeline Windows to Show

    Not sure what happened but Canvas and Timeline windows won't show. Pls help!

    I'm completely new to Final Cut Pro (I just got Studio), and I've been having the same exact problem: I open up Final Cut Pro, open a new project, and I only get the Browser and Viewer windows. I go to Window/Arrange, and I still can't open up the Timeline or the Canvas. I would just double click on a Sequence, but I don't know what the difference is between a sequence and a clip.

  • I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

    I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
    I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems.  Is this just a glitch?  The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

    Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
    I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

  • How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?

    Hi
    How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?
    None of the normal mechanisms of setting an application to be the DEFAULT application for the .HTML file type seem to work...
    Extremely irritating.

    A list of various "recommended applications" but not including Dreamweaver. It's not in the list of Other Applications either. And if I browse for it, my selection of dreamweaver.exe is flatly ignored without message.

  • Can't get anything at all to open in CS6

    I can't get anything at all to open in CS6 (on a Mac OS X 10) and can't create `new. Yesterday it was working perfectly.

    Is there any error message??
    You can download the updates for ID cs6 from HERE
    It can be a simple problem of corrupt preferences which you can eliminate by launching the application while keeping the Shift+Control+Option+Command keys. You will see a dialog box on launch stating do you want to reset the preferences, just go ahead and press yes and then see if you are facing the same problem.

  • I can not get the bookmarks tab to open

    I just installed firefox on my new laptop. I can not get the bookmarks tab to open. I also can not get the right mouse button to open the copy, print, etc menu.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • I can not get itunes to install and open on my new laptop i am so frustrated i have uninstalled and reinstalled at least a dozen times in the last month

    Will iTunes open in safe mode? Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as, or immediately after, you click the icon that starts iTunes and keep holding until you see this prompt.
    Click Continue.
    Assuming iTunes has opened, enable the menu bar, if necessary, with CTRL+B. Then go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Press OK, close iTunes, wait until it has had a chance to fully close then reopen.
    Will iTunes open normally now?
    If not, see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for genral advice.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • How can I start from a CD if I can't get the CD tray to open?

    My PowerMac won't start. I want to insert a bootable CD into it, but I can't get the CD tray to open. Pressing the CD button on the keyboard does nothing.
    I remember on the old iMacs with a CD tray, you could push a paper clip into a hole to get the CD tray to open. Is there anything like that on a PowerMac? Or any other tip that I can use so I can open the CD tray?

    Hi, Dunestrider -
    Try this -
    Restart or boot, immediately press the Option key and keep it held down. That should bring up Startup Manager, a bright blue screen with icons for available boot volumes.
    If the CD drive is empty at this time, press Command-. (Command-periodkey) - this is an instruction to the Mac to open the tray. Then insert your disk and wait a bit for it to spin up and get read.
    Old style Startup Manager - then click the circular arrow on the left - this instructs the Mac to rescan buses. Your bootable CD should then appear onscreen. Click it and then click the straight arrow.
    New style Startup Manager -
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
    - you will probably need to restart after the disk is in, holding down the C key to force a boot using the CD as the boot volume.
