The editable rectangles of my still photos in the composition panel suddenly stopped showing up.

Hi There, Adobe Community!
I am relatively new to After Effects CC and am using it to create a stop motion film with a large amount of photos.
Usually, when importing the individual images into my composition panel, a sequence of editable rectangles appears in the compostition panel allowing me to edit the frame length of the still photos.
After around 950 imported images, the little rectangles suddenly stopped showing up. But when looking at a preview of the project, it's as if the photos are in there, in the sequence they should be. I'm just unable to edit them like the previous ones with recangles showing.
I probably am not describing this too well, so here is a screen shot which hopefully makes my problem somewhat more clear. The area of issue is where you see the descending sequence of boxes in the comp panel. The red tracking bar is there to show that there are still photos continuing the sequence, I just can't see the boxes for em..
thank you so much for any help in the matter!

So I guess you are talking about the layers in the timeline go missing, not the handles in the Comp Window.
I think you have run into a display bug. Try selecting the top hundred or so layers and pre-compose them. If the missing layers appear then that's the problem. I have had it happen a couple of times before in previous versions of AE..
Here's a workflow hint for you, break your comps up into short sequences instead of trying to do a 4 or 5 minute piece with 900 layers in a single comp. You'll find editing and changing a lot easier.
I would also pre-mix your music. AE is a really terrible music mixer....

When i try to load certain page, the system crashed and the bottom panel states " stopped" but when I close and open firefox again,it can't and I get this message that says my firefox is still running and to open the browser i need to restart the compu

while browsing suddenly the system crashed and the bottom panel says " stopped".When closed and re-opened, I got a prompt that says firefox is still running and i have to close to open again or have to restart the computer but it doesn't work
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== just happened

You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
Find your profile folder
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

Clean the lint/debris from the charging port and plug the cable in.

Photomatix plug-in's HDR merged image has suddenly stopped showing up as part of the stack, yet when I repeat the merge it warns that these images are already merged. I have the merged image labeled with a HDR suffix.

I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

Try resetting the iPod by pressing and holding the power and home buttons simultaneously until the device powers off and you see the apple symbol.

My ipad2 email suddenly stopped showing the messages detail in all my email accounts, only subject is shown; if I do a reply or forward detail is shown; I have version 5.1 (9B176)

My ipad2 email suddenly stopped showing detail of message only subject is shown, this happens with my 3 email accounts (icloud, hotmail, exchange); if I do reply or forward detail is shown.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if the email text shows when you re-open the Mail app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I have three AE's on a wds, one suddenly stopped showing the music tab

I have three AE's on a wds (one base and two remotes) , one (remote) suddenly stopped showing the music tab but functions well otherwise.
I tried resetting and reloading firmware (6.2) but to no avail. All AEs are on same network with same firmware and the other two stream airtunes perfectly.
Any takers?

Hi James:
One other poster (I can't find the posting) reported the same problem and when he contacted Apple they had advised the AE may have gone bad, and he had to send it in for repair.
Sorry, I wish I had more information for you.

HT4101 The camera connector suddenly stopped importing photos like it used to. Now it will import 1 or 2 photos and then **** off and revert to the desk top. The Sd reader works, but I miss the quicker option of the cord and connected.

I have two Canon Elph cameras. They both were easy to use with my IPad until two months ago when it suddenly stopped working on either camera/cord. It would check the new photos displayed on the screen and then shut down, import one or two, and go back to the desktop. Frustrating. The SD reader works, though. Is the camera connected faulty?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

How do I input data to a table on the front panel and stop the program immediately as button is pressed?

What should I do if I want to display on the front panel in real time the values from Polarizer #, P1, P2 and the last calculated value (P2/P1 * 100) called T% in a table or some graphical representation like that? What would I have to do? It could just be Polarizer # and T% if that would be simpler. I just want to let the user know the values in a list, spreadsheet or table as they go. One last thing is that I would like to be able to stop the program at any point in time as soon as the stop button is pressed. As of now, when the button is pressed it goes through the iteration currently in progress and then one afterwards. I want the program to end as soon as the stop button is pressed no matter what sequence it is. What can I do to achieve this? Could you give me an example or modify my program to show me this.
Thanks,
Steve

Put a single frame sequence structure around your stop button and then wire from the error cluster going into the error handler to the edge of the sequence structure. Now your code will stop at the end of the current iteration. To see why this works, watch you code execute with execution highlighting turned on and review the section of the manual talking about "Dataflow".

The ethernet ports suddenly stopped working on airport extreme wondering why and how to fix the problem

I use the ethernet cable to connect my airport extreme to a linksys router to extend the network but suddenly all the ethernet cables on airport extreme stopped working and now the linksys won't get a connection. I was wondering why this might of happened and if there is a solution to fix the problem. Also i wondering if i should get rid of the linksys and get and airport express to just extend the network.

The Extreme to Express without the Linksys router is the most compatible way to go but I would first check out the Extreme by itself and make sure everything is working properly

Mail suddenly stopped showing the preview pane. Is there a fix? I'm on 10.5.8

The mail on my mac mini stopped showing the preview pane. Is there a fix? I'm on 10.5.8

I wonder if you've just dragged the page divider across so it's not visible, try selecting the right hand edge and drag it back left ? (Or maybe it's down and up on that version I'm on 10.7.2)

Backlighting on the keyboard has suddenly stopped. Help?

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina 13", Core i5 2.8 ghz, OSX Yosemite 10.10). The backlighting on my keyboard suddenly stopped. I've tried re-booting and making changes in settings, but that has not fixed the problem. Anyone else run into this?

Having the same issue, would love to know if you were able to resolve it. I'm also not able to use Tab, Return, and F12 for some reason.

The adjustment brush suddenly stopped working in Lr CC (among other things)

1. All of a sudden the adjustment brush stopped working in my Lr CC. The little buttons that you can click on to activate your adjustments are gone and when I open files where I have done adjustments they are still there but no "buttons" to click and consequently I can not make any changes or new adjustments. For example; in the image I have inserted I have made adjustments with a) Sharpness, b) Skin Softening and c) Iris Enhance and the adjustments are still there but no "buttons" any more and therefore I can´t change anything. I edited this image April 29 and 30 when Lr still worked fine. Today (and yesterday) things has really start spooking around with Lr.
2. After having saved an image in Ps CC as a psd-file going back to Lr CC for cropping Lr continuously reloads and resets all edits that I have done or are trying to do.
Everything has been working earlier but the past two days things like the above has stopped working.

Well, all problems regarding this are solved after having talked to Adobe's support. After having backed up my lrcat we deleted the Lightroom 6 plist, emptied the trash can and then restored Lightroom to its default values during the start-up process.
