Can you see the error in firebug when trying to expand the Data Types tree ?
I've seen an issue like this before, where the datatype ID exists within umbracoNode, but not in the cmsDataType table - (fix was to delete row from umbracoNode, and recreate the datatype)
looks like something went wrong when you added the data type. It would obviously be good to find out what exactly, however you will first need to get the types displaying again. I'm afraid you would have to do that manually in the database, be sure to make a backup first.
I've written the steps up in this post, be sure to check out the actual issue Paul had with regards to the path, maybe that's your issue as well?
I added a new datatype and then everythign disapeared. I havent even added it to a document type but now the DataType list is empty. The only refernce in the whoel database I can see for the datatype is in the UmbracoNode table.
I've fixed this by readding a record to cmsDataType with the missing id. Really dont like modifying the databse outside of the API this but needs must.
It's caused by an orphaned or missing record in the datatypes. Use Firebug to see the "hidden" true error message. I can't remember what table it's in but search through the forums, the answer should be there.
Data Types Gone!
Created a new data type, now all my data types are gone! Cannot get them back by reloading nodes nor by restarting app pool.

I'm an experienced Umbraco developer and I've done nothing out of the ordinary and now all my datatypes are missing as well !!!!
Really struggling to get them back, What on earth could have gone wrong?

Currently I can't edit any document types and there are no datatypes in the tree.

I think I may have caused this by adding a datatype when I should really have been timedout of the admin interface. Thanks anyway Connie
