Projects disappear from Browser

I am using Final Cut Pro 3 and after I have it open, I will open a project and work on it, then quit FCP, saving as the dialog boxes appear. The next time I open FCP, the project does not appear in the browser.
Any ideas on what is happening?
Thanks

I cannot find the user setting you reference but I have several Projects that will come up all the time, which is what I need. Just now, I did a restart, and 2 of the 4 projects did not come up in the browser. These same projects came up fine before I restarted. Hmmm.
Thanks for the tip

Why did my project disappear from the project library?

I recently finished a project, exported it to the "project file" in the Movie folder, and from there burned it to a disk. No problem. Since then, I have been thinking about making a couple of changes to the project, but when I opened the Project Library in iMovie, lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. All of my other projects were there, but this one was gone.
I looked in the project file in the Movie folder, and there it was, along with the movie, but I can't edit it any further in its present location. If it were in the project library (where it belongs), I could certainly edit it, but I can't figure out how to get it back there, so to speak.
Two questions: first, why did it disappear from the Project Library, and second, what can I do about it now? I could always start from scratch (using clips in the Event Library), but that means doing everything over again, which I prefer not to do. Any ideas?

I've got the similar problem:

any one able to solve it???
I've also restarted a million times but it still doesn't seem to work...

Project disappeared from iMovie 10.0.5 after crash

Thanks for reading, your help is greatly appreciated.
After importing my final clip, iMovie crashed. After starting up again, the project was there but only the "skeleton" timeline was visible with a red icon. I waited for a few minutes then decided to force quit. After startup my project was gone.
I have been around many discussions on the same topic but none of the solutions have worked.
I opened the package contents of the iMovie Library file in my Movies folder and successfully found the following files inside the time stamped folder:
- CurrentVersion.imovieevent
- Original Media folder with my mp4 clips
- Render Files folder
- Shared Files folder
- [Project name] folder containing CurrentVersion.imovieevent
- CurrentVersion.flexolibrary
Some system info:
iMovie version 10.0.5
OSX 10.9.4
Again I have been around the discussion forum and none of these threads have helped me at all:
- Project disappeared
- iMovie 10.0.3 project disappears after share

Do you mean you want to extend the duration of a still in the movie and you no longer have the iMovie project on your computer? (If you still have the project it is much better to edit this and re-export).
After importing the finished movie back into a new iMovie project you can split it either side of the part you want to lengthen (see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#movf8b8fc9b2) then increase the duration of the split out part.
Hope this helps,
Geoff.

I shared my imovie in media browser and the project disappeared from my computer...any ideas of where it might be? I've searched everything.

I created a 30 min video in imovie and then clicked share in media browser....
I went to go find it and the raw footage is in imovie, but the project is GONE.
Nowhere to be found, not idvd not imovie, only some crypric .
I can't even find media browser on my computer even though when I go to
download media browser, my computer tells me I already have it!!!
Where oh where has my imovie gone?
thanks in advance,

What do you mean by raw footage when you say "I went to go find it and the raw footage is in imovie, but the project is GONE." Can you open your working movie in IMovie Edit Project window? Does it show to the left of the file name in the Project library or Share/Media Browser drop-down box that it has processed the movie?
my processed movies are listed in the iMovie Projects folder as Movies/iMovie Projects.localized. Using this file, the drag and drop worked for me so I was able to burn the movie on iDVD. However, shared iMovie projects are still not recognized by iDVD. An old project has disappeared and the new one does not appear in iDVD in the Media pane as it should. I checked the preferences, and directed it to look in the iMovies Project folder. I am currently sharing with iTunes and when I open IDVD the medium shared movie is there as should be. Hummm. Why not the large shared movies showing in IDVD?
You probably have tried several things already but: open your "more info" box for the movie file if you can, and there the extension shows .rcproject and make sure you are checked to open with iMovie.
Check your iDVD preferences. Make sure it is looking in the right place for your movie files. It automatically checks in "Movie" folder but you can also ADD by directing it to your iMovie Project file specifically. You could go into your Home Library and dump your preferences then reopen IMovie and see if it helps (don't trash your preference until you reopen IMovie and see it is working okay) but this did nothing to help me.
In iMovie, try removing your movie from Media Browser and reprocessing it. You might send it to iTunes and see if it shows correctly there.
I will keep at this as there appears to be a bug with the processing of large movies and IDVD recognizing them as previously. It is just not finding shared movies.

Why have my version names disappeared from Browser view?

I know there is an easy solution to this because it has happened to me before. In the Browser viewer in Aperture 3, I can usually see the Version name under each thumbnail. The Version names have disappeared and I can't remember how to get them back. Please help!

Thanks! I was looking for this info all over the internet and in Aperture Help. What does U stand for anyway? And how would I search to find that answer on the web ? Is there a corresponding menu item for this in Aperture - and where is it buried? It was really driving me crazy. Thanks again!
Sometimes finding stuff is hard especially something like this that doesn't seem to have a particular name. But in this case the information under the image is metadata so trying a search for that in the help box got me:

My project disappears from iMovie'11!

I made a project for my video with files imported from iTunes and iPhoto libraries.
First of all, iMovie didn't finalize the project and I don't know why.
In second instance, when I restarted my computer the project was gone from the project library on iMovie.
What I don't understand is that the project is still on the "iMovie projects"'s folder in the Finder.
Can anybody help me with this problem, please?

Did anyone ever get an answer for this?

All final cut events, projects disappeared from external hard drive

I had a re-start this morning and the event I was working on lost its purple box and its white star. Can't find the project, can't find the event.
Even more troubling, the Final Cut Events and Library folders on my external hard drive is also gone. Really need some help here. Any ideas?

It almost looks like all of the original media is gone.

Hi all, my first time on. I shared my imovie project to Media Browser. Fine. Then after it downloaded it 'disappeared.' Where did it go? Having found it, how do I then share it with idvd? I am told the image quality will be much better this route.

Hi
I do
• In iMovie - select a project
• Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other res.)
• Close iMovie
• Open iDVD and select to start a New iDVD Project
• Import movie - from Media button - down to the right - and here from Movies

Problem with images disappearing from project

I have inserted a number of images into my Robohelp 9 project topics using the Insert >> Image function. Typically the images were stored on my hard drive on my pc, but some I pulled from a shared network drive that were prepared by other people. They seemed to load into the project OK. I had them grouped in a about 5 different robohelp folders to keep them organized so after I would insert, complete my topic and save. I would move the images to their respective folder. This was fine for a while, I had no problems generating printed .pdf documentation, making changes to my topics, etc. But now the images keep disappearing from the Robohelp folder structure and the printed documentation. I can see the images when I open up and view the topics. I can also see them when I look out onto the drive on the computer. However, they do not show up in the Robohelp Project Manager and are not included in my printed output. I keep re-inserting them, but they continue to disappear.

Hi there
Certainly it won't hurt anything to add the images to baggage files, but I'd be shocked to find that solves the problem.
If an image has been used in RoboHelp, it should be present in the project. End of story. The fact they seem to be disappearing seems to suggest that maybe something has gone awry with folder naming or image naming or the project in general.
So what version and flavor of RoboHelp are you using?
RoboHelp 10, RoboHelp 9, RoboHelp 8, etc.
RoboHelp HTML, RoboHelp for Word

Some Aperture photos and projects missing from iLife Media Browser

Good evening - having a little bit of trouble getting Aperture to work smoothly with my iLife media browser (i.e., inserting photos into Mail, Pages, Keynote, etc).
I currently have 5699 photos and 131 projects in Aperture. But the iLife Media Browser only shows me 5131 photos and 130 projects; when clicking on individual projects in the browser, anywhere from 3 to 70 photos per project are missing. Tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and rebuilding the database - this improved the issue, but didn't completely resolve it as 5679 photos now show in the Media Browser, and 20 remain missing. Also tried deleting, and generating previews for all my photos in the library. No change.
My library is mostly referenced, with a few photos managed.
Obviously in the grand scheme of things 20 photos missing in the Media Browser not that big a deal. But wanting to get to the root cause though because without solving this issue, I'm concerned about a larger underlying problem that may only get worse as my library grows.
Has anyone had, or resolved a problem similar to this? And can anyone offer any additional suggestions? Are there any specific files that feed the iLife Media Browser that I can delete and rebuild that may solve this issue?
thanks,
Mark

I think I've ironed this out. Several intertwined issues. I took a moment to type out my notes; hopefully it helps you guys solve this quickly if you get a call from someone else on this down the line.
[1] original problem of several hundred items missing in Media Browser: probably an issue of previews not being built. Mostly fixed when I regenerated previews for my library, but repairing permissions and repairing the database may have helped too.
[2] Residual problem of 20 items still missing (5698 items displayed in Aperture when selecting Inspector > Library > Photos; 5677 items displayed in Mail Photo Browser). My issue wasn't as much with 20 missing items in a browser as it was with trying to understand the root cause and whether I had an underlying Aperture, Aperture Library, or OS problem that would bite me later. Turns out several things were causing this problem:
[2a] In Aperture, when you select Inspector > Library > Photos , all your content is displayed: photos, videos, and any audio clips you may have imported (e.g., a recorded audio clip on your camera narrating shoot, location, client, exposure value etc). So even though you've selected "Photos", your "xxx items displayed" count on the bottom of the screen reflects all your imported content. This is not the case in the Media Browser - of which there are two variants in Mac OS:
[2a.1] Mail has a Photo Browser, which behaves much like a "Media Browser Lite: the title bar says "Photo Browser", it only accesses your Aperture and iPhoto Libraries, and only shows photos and video.
[2a.2] iWork applications have a more comprehensive Media Browser, where you can select between Audio, Photos, and Movies. If you select Audio the iWork Media Browser will show any audio files present in your Aperture or iTunes library. If you select Movies, the iWork Media Browser will show any movie clips present in your Aperture or iMovie libraries. Photos behaves the same way as "Photo Browser" in Mail, showing any photos present in your Aperture (or iPhoto if installed) libraries.
Turns out I had three audio clips in my Aperture library. When selecting "Photos" in either the Mail or iWork browsers, the total item count will only show photos and videos - no audio clips. So now 17 missing items remain.
[2b] Stacks - one project contained nine photos grouped into a stack. Only the key photo of a stack is previewed/shown in Media Browser. So a stack of nine photos will only show as one in the browser - unstacking the photo will allow them all to appear. So now nine missing items.
[2c] Seven photographs somehow had broken links to their referenced masters, and needed to be reconnected. Down to two missing items.
[2d] One photo simply wouldn't cooperate - no matter how many times I regenerated the preview, or deleted the preview and then regenerated it, nothing worked. I deleted it from the library and reimported it. One missing item remains.
[2e] Final missing item was a photograph I rejected. Makes sense; as media browser does not display rejects.
Problem solved!! Hopefully this might be of help to somebody in the future.
cheers,
Mark

Why might an entire project folder disappear from my CS3 program?

Why might an entire project folder completely disappear from my CS3 program? Being a rookie at this, any advice is appreciated.

You can buy ready made external RAIDs.
I am sorry, but I fail to see how this will help the OP with USB 2.0 externals.
Now, for "the next time," it will work, but when one has a USB external, they have a single HDD USB 2.0 external. This is of no use with that equipment. That was my point.
I recommend one with an eSATA connection.
Or use internals.
Again, a "next time" solution, albeit a good one. I do not argue that different thing could, and should, be done. I just fail to see how your suggestions would help the OP with the "here and now."
Let's use the tried and true "automobile analoghy," that we are all quick to interject. The OP asks, "I had an accident with my MB S-500, and the grille was caved in. How do I fix it?" The answer, "next time, do not have the accident," does not address the issue. It is, of course, good advice, but does not help with the current problem. The "accident" has already happened. Yes, avoiding the next one is good advice, but is irrevelent in the "here and now."
Sorry, but I would not give you points on this one, were it my post.

Safari browser disappeared from my iPad

Safari browser disappeared from my iPad

It cannot be deleted or reinstalled. It is on the iPad somewhere.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

Hit the __Alt__ key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

Half of my bookmarks have disappeared from the Bookmarks Toolbar, they can be restored by closing and reopening the browser, but it's inconvenient. How can I fix this?

During browsing I notice that from time to time half of my bookmarks disappear from the bookmarks toolbar. I don't think it's related to their creation date as I have old and new bookmarks intermingled across the bar. What can I be doing to cause this, or what is happening that I can fix?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
