Sitecore Rocks : Random Serialization Folders - sitecore

Due to the limitation of windows file path, Sitecore creates some random directory in the serialization folder for the sitecore content items.
This works well when we revert using the sitecore content editor, but not working while using Sitecore Rocks.
Sitecore rocks installs only the items in the correct path and skips the items in the random folders.
Any thoughts?

First, make sure you are running the latest version. If you are, then create a ticket at http://sitecorerocks.uservoice.com/

I am not able to select a content item in sitecore

I have installed a package in my sitecore instance and all the contents are there in my content tree. However I am not able to select the content item, on clicking the content item its throwing an error--"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I have tried re-installing the package but the issue is still there.
there is multiple resone behind this issue on your sitecore screen, but the most frequent reason behind this, templete missing againts the installed Items.
So first look into the Template section, related templates are installed correctly, then install the Items package in sitecore.

How to restore existing class and skins directory after reinstall xcart 5.3?

I'm testing the xcart platform, but the problem is after I reinstall xcart and copy & paste my on-working backup directories back to the correct directory (class and skins). There is no content show on the customer's page.
I did cache it several times but same result with no content shown.
Any idea to solve this issue?

Sitecore freezes when trying to define WFFM (Web Forms For Marketers) restricted placeholders

I have the latest version of WFMM (Web Forms For Marketers) for Sitecore. When I try to define the restricted placeholders from Desktop -> All Applications -> Web Forms for Maketers -> Restricted Placeholders everything freezes, including IIS.
I have no errors in the browser console or Sitecore's log.txt.
I has same issue with Sitecore 8.0 rev. 150621 (Update-4) and Web Forms for Marketers 8.0 rev. 150625. Sitecore Support helped me:
The //*[contains(#Allowed Controls, '{0}')] query runs on all items from the database. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
I changed the query to search items only under the root item: .//*[contains(#Allowed Controls, '{0}')]
Could you please follow the steps below to address the issue:
Copy the attached Sitecore.Support.406505.dll assembly to /bin folder.
Change the implementation class for forms:selectplaceholders command in forms.config file:
from
<command name="forms:selectplaceholders" type="Sitecore.Forms.Core.Commands.RestrinctingPlaceholders,Sitecore.Forms.Core" />
to
<command name="forms:selectplaceholders" type="Sitecore.Support.Forms.Core.Commands.RestrinctingPlaceholders,Sitecore.Support.406505" />
Here is the linked to the mentioned dll: Sitecore.Support.406505.dll
Restricting Placeholder dialog is an quick way to add WFFM sublayout form and view form to Allowed Controls field in placeholder settings. Selection of placeholders is maintained on last step of installation of module. Everything is already installed, you just need to follow manual poststeps(attach DB, etc). You can continue without solving this problem.
And if you don't have a huge amount of placeholders then it is quicker to do it using Allowed Controls field rather than trying to find root of the problem.

Open cart product page goes blank upon theme upload (vQmod on)

Here's the scenario:
Fresh install of Open Cart. Fresh install of vQmod. Everything is working fine. But when I upload certain theme - purchased and licensed - the site has an issue. The home page is working, but the product page goes blank.
I have tried all possible combinations of OpenCart and vQmod versions (except for 2.0 for OC because the theme doesn't support it yet). I am out of ideas.
Edit: After showing all errors as adviced I finally saw the reason : "oc_product_tab' doesn't exist"
I found a solution. It turned out that the "Extra Product Tabs Opencart Extension" is missing. This is a standart free plugin that comes with template theme but it wasn't configured. It turnes out that the theme works with it.
Go to system>users>user groups and select all for both access and modify. Save. Than go to Catalog menu and click on Extra product tabs. Click Insert and add the module. That’s it. It’s a standard opencart module which is free for use.

Media Library not listing any media items when browsed from Image Field of an item in content editor in sitecore

Media Library not listing any media items when browsed from Image Field of an item in content editor.
Steps to reproduce:
Create an item from Content Tree
Browse for an image from Image field.
Media Library UI displayed without previously uploaded images.
Expected : Media Library should display all media items available.
Note:
Inconsistency observed on multiple attempts(occasionally loads with a delay of 20 seconds - Is there any solution/fix to reduce this delay?)
Network is not an issue
User is having all the necessary roles and permissions.
Issue observed in all the browsers.
Version: Sitecore.NET 7.1 (rev. 130926)
Any help would be appreciated in knowing the root cause for Media Library not listing the media items.
Please see below attached screenshot -
Make sure your indexes have been built. The Sitecore 7.1 image UI uses the search API to display content, so if the indexes haven't been updated/build properly it will not show any data.
You can rebuild your indexes by logging into the desktop, click the Sitecore button in the bottom left, go to Control Panel and select Indexing. Click the Index Manager and follow the wizard to rebuild.
Have you specified a data source in the media field? That version of Sitecore has a known bug where such sources doesn't work. If so, ask Sitecore support for the workaround patch for this.
In Sitecore.Speak.ItemWebApi set allowanonymousaccess to true for the site name="shell"
This resolved the issue.
We have to enable the Sitecore.Speak.ContentSearch.Solr.config if using SOLR.
