Q:
I uploaded all my files, but I can't not find them.  
A:
Uploaded files need to be given a name. If you have not given the file a name, under the upload tab, to the right of ‘My Media Library’ there should be a section with ‘Position’, ‘File’ and ‘Name’. Make sure the ‘Position’ is correct, click the down list arrow, files uploaded for this position should be there. Select each file at a time to assign a name or select all files at once. After giving the file a name, click update and the file will be added to ‘My Media Library’. File names can be arbitrarily assigned or the uploaded name can be used.
