Error in Channel Box/Layer Editor, missing atributes

Hi ,
I have autodesk Maya 2011 and 2012 (Student version) in my Imac. My problem is that in the Channel Box i can't see the atributes... :S But I can change the values without know which is the atribute. I show you in the next foto.

Sorry for this short message but I am so bad explaining in English.

Thanks a lot.

If you mean Attributes Editor, you can access it by clicking on the first button(from left) in the top right hand corner (just under "0:55" on your screenshot) or by pressing CTRL+A.

Not sure about mac but in windows you can delete/rename preferences folder and that will force Maya to restore itself to default settings. This might be worth trying. If that won't help I'd try reinstalling.

I have seen a thread similar to this some time ago and it was also on a Mac. It was Maya 2008 though as I recall. But the symptoms were the same - no attributes in the channel box / the entire channel box did not appear to be getting redrawn.

As memory serves it turned out to be a graphics card issue and the channel box area was not being redrawn / updated properly.

Unfortunately, I know very little about how Macs work and I am not sure how to check or update graphics drivers and such.

You may want to check your hardware specs and then cross check with the approved hardware list at autodesk.com. There may also be something in the known problems database at the autodesk area forums.

I can create the objects with the menu. All function i think that are correct... only this error... that i can¡t see the channel box.

I think that my drivers of my graphic cards are updated, cause if not mac automaticatlly update them. And i saw in the web of autodesk and my graphic card in theory works good with maya 2012.
