My timeline area has become huge - can't get at bottom bar

I haven't worked on FCE for a while and when I got a project back up the timeline area has become way too big and I can't access the bottom bar. I have no idea how this happened or what to to. I've read the manual but there is no information on how to get rid of the unnecessary space above the video and under the audio. I don't want to make the tracks smaller, I just want to get rid of the empty unusable area, since I can't get to the bottom of the whole area to click on the tab that would help me narrow it. I find this very curious. I have tried all kinds of old projects and they all come up on this dreadful format of much too much area in the timeline. It's probably some dumb thing, but I need help. Thanks in advance.

No point in reinstalling as the application is working correctly. With the selection tool if you go to the top edge of the timeline window the arrow should change into the resizining tool. This will let you resize the window. There is only so far you can resize it depending on your monitor resolution. If this is not working there is a problem with your system or your mouse.

My Canvas and Timeline are gone and I can't get them back

Hey everyone.
I've been using a new HD camera and i have had to change a billion settings on FCP. Now that I am no longer using HD it was time to go back to the way they were, but I must have done something wrong. My canvas and timeline are gone and I can't get them back. I tried going to window and just pulling them up but I can't click on the canvas and timeline buttons...
Please help!!! I am fairly new at final cut pro and I need help. I have a film festival deadline approaching and only hope that some kind person out there can help!!

Trash your FCP preferences. This will reset FCP to it's defaults.
Close Final Cut Pro and open a Finder window.
Click on your user name in the side bar.
Open the following sub folders Library, Preferences, Final Cut Pro User Data.
Place the following files in the Trash:
Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs, Final Cut Pro Obj Cache, Final Cut Pro Prof Cache.
Empty the Trash.
Open Final Cut Pro. You will be asked to choose your working format (Easy Setup) and designate your scatch disks.

Dropped ice cream on macbook. now the keyboard has become sticky. can i get it cleaned from the inside from applre store or or somewhere else?

If the ice cream as only affected the keyboard and not run onto other components they will perhaps suggest a new keyboard, I would be surprised if the could economically clean it up. If it as gone on the logic board then that is another problem.

Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== While I was compiling an email in Hotmail Live

Wow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
Thank you so much!

After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

I moved iTunes folder location, now all my personal song ratings and playlists are gone. How can I get them back? All the iTunes files are intact, just in a new location. Running iTunes 11.1.5.5

Are you saying Mavericks deleted the pictures and documents on your phone?

" but the mac didnt allow them because of some apps on my phone s"
What does this mean?
How did you try to import those pics?
You import pics from iphone just as you would from any digital camera. They are not part of the sync process at all.
I am trying to figure out what exactly you did.
Bottom line is that the pics are gone unless you have a backup of your iphone on your computer from a time when the pics were on the iphone.
In the future you should be importing your pics to your computer regularly.

If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

My iPhone playlist has dissapeared, how can I get it back?

My iPhone playlist has dissapeared, how can I get it back?

I'm very new to this sort of thing, so bear with me. I had my computer in to the Apple store on Jan 10th, & they replaced Leopard with Snow leopard because of problems. I have iphoto 8.
This morning opening my computer a picture briefly appreared that I had saved to iphoto. I decided to place it in its correct event box, and ! sign appeared. Upon opening iphoto, I found a blank. I've not backed up my files. I've looked everywhere on the system, including Trash, applications, Pictures, all my document files.
Also I had 2 icons of iphoto on my desktop because it had disappeared 2 years ago & came back some months later. Two days ago I decided to clean up my desktop & moved the icons to the pIcture file and a document file. I don't know whether this triggered the disappearance. The main icon is still in the dock.
Does this help?
