My timeline turned gray. I think I lost my work. PLEASE HELP!

Hello,
I was editing a really important project when FCP X froze. I closed it and when I opened it my timeline had turned gray and now I can't see any of my editing in the timeline. I trashed my preferences, reinstalled the app, and still doesn't work. I even exported the project to XML but it appears all unorganized if I import it in a new project and doesn't display well.
Please help me. I mean I don't know what to do. How can I rely ever again on FCP X if I can lose my work just like that!

Hello,
I have just now experienced a greying out of the timeline. I was actually selecting the clips and had wanted to detach and silence the audio when this greying out took place. Searched this thread to get directions of how to negotiate. Duplicated project in the project library, but the duplicate was as bad as the original. Attempted my own trials to get things right. Observed that the rendering was taking place. Took screen shots till 100 was reached; but the timeline remained faded.
Finally I did this: selected the entire project and pressed 'V'. Lo and behold, the timeline began to be colorful as before and my smile returned back to me!

    I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6.  That's the latest version.
    Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them.  And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore.  Sorry about this.

  • I lost my ipad4 please help me find it

    i lost my ipad4 please help me find it

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • My caps lock light is not turning on no matter what I do. PLEASE HELP!

    My caps lock light is not turning on no matter what I do. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi lahiri,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that the Caps Lock key on your MacBook Air is staying lit as if the Caps Lock is engaged and you cannot turn it off. One article I would suggest taking a look at in this situation is attached below. If the information does not help you solve your issue, please let me know more about the situation. Are the letters you type in all caps all the time or can you adjust between upper and lower case using the Caps Lock key and the light just stays on?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    my ipod touch 4g 8 gigs is not turning on it wont get past the apple logo its not frozen because it turns the screen black and the apple logo please help me

    - Try a reset.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

    How to change a prospect status to customer in BP,when the prospect turns out to be a potential customer?Please help me with the details.
    Moderation: Kindly search before you post

    Dear Ramesh,
    Using Account life cycle we can record the different stages of a BP.
    But at any point of time we can hold one Stage at Business partner.and once we change status Prospect ro Customer. We can't able to see Prospect Status in that BP.
    Ex -
    Stage A- Potentail
    Stage B- Prospect
    Stage C- Customer
    with the help of UI configuration we can define.
    Need your comment,
    Thx

    Hello there, Conorjl7.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
