Lost Canvas and Timeline windows and can't get them back

I'm new to Apple after many years with Windows. So I'm feeling my way around a bit.
Anyway, I just started using my new FCE, imported my first 60 minutes of home videos, and was getting ready to edit them when I lost 2 of the 4 editing windows - Canvas and Timeline. So I went to the Window command drop down and noticed both Canvas and Timeline were "greyed out". Browser and Viewer were not greyed out and both are working properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is most frustrating. (I thought only Windows applications had frustrations!)
IMac6 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 24 inch

Hello...
As Da Nam suggested... double-click on the sequence icon in the browser to open it... this will open the timeline and canvas windows.
If it's another problem.. try pressing control+U to restore to default window lay-out.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or move them from the old computer. Any movies you've previously rented aren't transferable.

    You can get your information back if you have previously done a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

    Type move itunes library into the google serach bar.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain  abackup copy of your computer.  Do you not have a backup copy?

  • Just completed an update and lost all my phone contacts.  Can I get them back?

    Just completed an update to my 3G Iphone.  Lost all my contacts.  Can I get them back, please???

    Contacts are not a part of backup (only favourites and recent calls list are backed up). Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Addressbook etc) or with a cloud service (iCloud, Yahoo, Google).
    Sync them back from the programme you were using for backing up your contacts.
    If you have not been backing up your contacts to either of these programmes, then they are gone.

  • I reinstalled Firefox and lost bookmarks from my computer, how can I get them back (sync ?)from my android phone ?

    My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
    I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
    I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.

    Hi penami,
    Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
    As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge.

  • I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

    HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
    I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
    IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • Updated - now have lost apps centre and all apps an can't get them back on

    I just updated to ios5 and have this icloud thing, but now I don't have my apps centre or any of my apps on my phone. I have tried to sync but the apps area on itunes does not let me do anything, its like it is frozen on my page. If I go to apps on the left hand side I can see them but I can't get them back on my phone or update them.....I am wondering if the icloud thing is the problem because I don't have wi-fi...PLEASE HELP!

    Thank you for your response. I did have the apps button on my iphne screen from the very time i purchased it, it had the apps 'A' symbol and I could go into that to download apps onto my phone without having to connect to PC and going through Itunes...however now it doesn't exist. Yes I have tried restarting both the phone and the PC, Syncing, resetting Uby way of hitting both buttons on phone for a reboot etc. Yu know when you are in Itunes and you can go into your screen and move your apps from page to page or delete etc, well that page is totally frozen and I won't let me even click on it anymore. I have deleted and re download itunes and all of the apps.But still nothing, the apps are blurred on my screen and state - waiting 

  • I have lost all my bookmarks and screen short cuts since the outside telstra cable was damaged and repaired. How can I get them back?

    my internet had been running slowly with lots of fizz and crackle on the line. Telstra came and fixed it, necessitating my having to reset the modem. At first boot up after that, all screen short cuts were gone and all bookmarks were gone. Can I get them back? Help!!

    Hello,
    Please confirm that the problem you faced was this
    #You had an issue with our Internet access
    #Telstra fixed the issue and restarted your modem
    #Now in Firefox you are unable to view your bookmarks
    Is that the issue? If so, it is unlikely that a connectivity issue has caused this problem. Also, can you please confirm if you have enabled Firefox Sync?
    Thank you

  • I have an incomplete back up in my iCloud with pics and vids in it can I get them back

    I have an incomplete back up in my iCloud with pics and vids in it can I get them back

    You have to do a full restore to your device to get things from iCloud.  You can't pick and choose. 
    In addition, from what I've read, you can't get anything back to the camera roll, if that's where you stored some of your files.  The camera roll is temporary storage untill you sync photos and videos to your computer.  If you used Photo Stream, then iCloud syncs new pictures from your iPhone to all other devices that are set to sync Photo Stream.  But there's a limit to how many pictures per month (I think 1000) and iCloud saves photos for 30 days, so the other devices have time to sync to get the photos.  But there's no way to get them out of iCloud in Photo Stream in case you lost all the pictures on your devices.

  • I lost my standard brushes...can I get them back?

    I somehow lost the standard brush set that came preloaded with Photoshop CS3 (arrows, boxes, checkmarks, copyright symbols, etc) and I was wondering if I can somehow get them back, or can I download them from Adobe or some other source.  I would appreciate any help you could give.  Thanks, Dan

    They are probably still there and have simply been replaced by another set.
    Go to the drop-down menu in the brush dialog in the Options bar and Append the Assorted Brushes set instead of replacing the currrent set.
    You could also load the default brushes the same way.

  • I did my phone reset and i lost my contact and my messages please can i get them back

    i did my phone reset and i lost my contact and my messages please can get them back

    The only ways to get them back are to sync with your iCloud account, if you have one set up with your contact and messages being backed up there, or to sync with your computer that you use to backup your iPhone data and apps.
    Hope this helps

  • Have done the iOS 5 update and lost some of my apps now can't get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account

    Have done the iOS 5 update and lost half of my apps won't let me get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account as I don't use credit or debit cards
    <Edited by Host>

    Relax, nobody's ripping you off...
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID you purchased them on and not the device so getting them all back is easy so long as you know the account details. To reinstall the apps just use the App Store and use the original Apple ID (account) that was used to purchase them, then re-install.  If you setup a new Apple ID on your device when you initialized iOS 5 then go into the App Store app and change the account back to the one that was there before. Then go to update > Not on this iPhone and start installing...

  • My notes keep disappearing from my 4th generation iPod touch and my iPad. Can I get them back?

    So my notes keep disappearing from my iPod and iPad, but I haven't deleted them. Is it possible for me to get them back?

    Try reestoring from backup.
    Do they appear in icloud.com>Notes?

  • Lost my voice memos when sync, can i get them back?

    I synced my music to add it to my iphone. My voice memos are gone now. Is there any way i can get them back? is it backed up somewhere?

    No, I'm afraid that if you didn't back them up beforehand, then they're lost, unless you can use phone memory recovery software from the internet to recover them.
