Am using 4.11.4. It has been upgraded from 4.9 I believe at some point. Also iis 7.5 on Windows 2008.
I have a number of problems with media. I suspect they are all related but the upshot is that I cannot create or upload media. Symptoms are:
1. Right click on Media root and choose create - media item created (Media types file, folder, image present) - try to upload by clicking browse - operation never completes
2. Right click sub folder in Media - no media types available and cannot create media
3. Navigating to Media area usually would expect to see media item thumbnails on right hand side. This never happens and the progress icon just keeps spinning
Thanks but already seen it. This chap had no media types defined - no idea how that could come about but it is not the same problem. The default set of media types are present in settings.
Now fixed. Media type Structure properties on the Settings tab had been deselcted. I can only put this down to an upgrade - we cetainly didnt do this...
On left hand side of screen you have your Sections (at the bottom). One of those is Settings. In settings you will see the Media Types node. Under media types click Folder. Opposite you will see that one of the Tabs is Structure - click this. Structure specifies which media types can appear as child nodes of the Folder meda type.
By default these are all usually ticked but somehow in our case and definitely not by me, they became unticked.
This issue has possibly been around for a while. We saw the problem in 4.7 and 4.11. Both of those sites have Courier installed though so that could well be connected. Did you find any other info to do with the Courier theory?
No Media types available
Hi all
Am using 4.11.4. It has been upgraded from 4.9 I believe at some point. Also iis 7.5 on Windows 2008.
I have a number of problems with media. I suspect they are all related but the upshot is that I cannot create or upload media. Symptoms are:

Can anyone help?

Hi I have same problem in version 6.1.2
Can't see what you mean by Media type Structure properties on the Settings tab. Where is this exacly?
On left hand side of screen you have your Sections (at the bottom). One of those is Settings. In settings you will see the Media Types node. Under media types click Folder. Opposite you will see that one of the Tabs is Structure - click this. Structure specifies which media types can appear as child nodes of the Folder meda type.
By default these are all usually ticked but somehow in our case and definitely not by me, they became unticked.
Good luck
Julian
I just found it! Looking at this one it has a screen shot. Ta very much. Fingers crossed it makes Courier behave a bit better.....
6.1.3 -> 6.1.5 breaks Media Type settings
