Missing admin theme styling and Media Uploader not working (4 posts)

    Hi folks!

    I run WordPress 3.3.1 at a couple of sites and different hosts w/o problems, but one install is troubling me. It's one of two installs in the same hosting account/on the same server that doesn't work. So it doesn't seem to be a hosting related problem.

    I can reproduce the errors in different browsers, too. Disabling all plugins as well as using the default WordPress theme didn't help. A manual install of WP 3.3.1 after deleting the wp-admin and wp-includes folders before didn't fix it either.

    My errors:
    1) When I go to MEDIA => Add New, I'm able to upload images. However, if I try to add a featured image or upload images on an "Edit Post/Page" page by clicking on the Media Uploader icon, the media uploader doesn't load.

    2) The wp-login.php file is missing its styling. I took a look into the source code, and the CSS files are there, but compared with a styled wp-login.php the following code is missing from the head part:
    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.7.1'></script>

    3) The toolbar doesn't appear correctly. In the admin panel I don't see the WP icon nor the Comments icon nor the plus sign before "New". And on the site itself the toolbar looks more like the toolbar before WP 3.3, and the search code is not right-aligned and so on.

    4) There are some other "unstyled" sections in the admin panel.

    I assume all errors are related and are all more or less a JQUERY problem. But I can't figure out why this problem occurs to begin with and how to fix it.

    Thanks for any ideas you've got for me.

    1. deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    2. resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    3. switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    4. re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Nothing helped. But I can report more things I noticed. For example the wp-login.php file appears w/o styling. A look into the source code looks fine as well. But if take a look at the wp-admin.css file it looks all wrong. And no this is nothing that can be fixed be deleting all WP files and uploading a fresh set.

    In the wp-admin.css file you can usually find this line:
    .login h1 a{background:url(../images/logo-login.png) no-repeat top center;

    On the messed up sites this line and others are missing in the wp-admin.css file although the wp-admin.css file I upload has got all the those lines.

    No idea what's going on here. So any hints are appreciated.

    I hope someone can answer this because I am having the exact same problem! I haven't even visited my site since January, so I def have not changed anything. I logged in tonight and all the admin formatting is completely gone. The pages look fine, but the admin pages are crazy. I found a text box for my entry, but it won't let me type in it so I can't even cobble something together. I'm not tech savvy so I have no idea what to do.

    Site is http://www.germantownnorthmomsclub.com though I don't think it will do anyone any good to look at it since it is the admin page that is messed up.
