FCPX isn't showing any of my project files and I can't seem to open them.

FCPX isn't showing any of my project files and I can't seem to open them. I shut off the mac mini and unplugged all the external hard drive and then plugged them back in but when I open FCPX there is nothing there. What is happening. How can I restore my project files. Thanks in advance.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Updated projects not showing in external Hard Drive When I right click on a library and select "Show Package Contents", all the events show up, but the folder that once appeared is no longer there. Can anyone tell me why "Updated Projects" no longer appears in the list. They used to appear in my finder. I have multiple libraries spread over multiple external hard drives and only one has Updated Projects folder appearing. I'm using 10.5.4 FCP and I have a MacBook Pro with 11.6 as the OS. Any help would be appreciated and I can provide more information or screen shots if needed. Thank You, Drew

Missing menus in project settings Hi there, When I open project settings I see only three submenus: Metronome, Smart Tempo and Audio. However, when I import project settings from older projects made before this bug appeared, I import all the settings from the remaining submenus. Any ideas? Background info: I am running on a Mid-2010 iMac with Sierra Version 10.12.6 as I've understood that it is not recommended to install newer OS to a machine from that time. Therefore I also cannot install the latest Logic Pro X version, so I'm running 10.4.4. App Store asked if I wanted latest compatible version and then picked that one. I recently moved my user folder from a smaller partition on my internal drive to a much larger partition (this was the whole point of partitioning in the first place, but I forgot to actually move my user folder). I followed these instructions to do so: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2017/01/25/how-to-move-mac-user-folder-to-another-drive/. Everything else has gone smoothly with this transition btw. When I then opened logic again it seemed to have updated itself somehow, since I noticed grafical changes (more icons when creating tracks, wooden bar on the left side of the project window etc.) The music was playing just fine, but then I noticed that most of my project settings menus were gone. I then reinstalled the Application by first uninstalling and then downloading through the App Store the latest version of Logic compatible with my OS. I know that moving a user folder is a big deal so I'm not surprised to have weird issues coming in now. Any help would be much appreciated since I'd love to be able to change settings in my projects!! Thanks in advance. Victor, Denmark

Saving project and custom plug ins to External Hard Drive Hello, I was trying to save all of my media, projects and custom plug ins (effects, titles, sound effects) to my external hard drive to free up space on my Mac. I've run in to some problems and I am not sure how to fix it. I believe this error message displays because it is not detecting the custom plugin effects. My custom transitions are also not displayed on the bottom right corner like usual. I've moved all files over to my external hard drive. Can someone please help out? Thank you!

Where is the library you were working on? What happens when you double click the library in the Finder?
