 * hello all,
    I can’t get the media library to work. I already tried several things,
   including updating wordpress to the latest version, but nothing works. It doesn’t
   load any media. Any idea what I can do? Thanks

 * Have you tried disabling all the plugins, specially javascript based ones to 
   check if the media library works? Or the problem is that the images inside your
   Media Library aren’t showing?
 * Sorry for my bad English : )

 * i tried disabling the plugins. I saw now that i can insert pictures, so the media
   library seems to work, also after reactivating the plugins. although i cannot
   get an image to show up in my header or slider. Is that media library related
   at all? or is it the theme?
    Before the update to 3.8 i couldn’t see any pictures
   in the media library, now I can see the little examples in the library.

 * Almost all of the sliders use the Media Library so .. yes, the problem probably
   will be related to that.
 * Probably is a jQuery conflict. Maybe jQuery is duplicated or various versions
   are being loaded.
 * Try duplicating your site into another one. Update all your plugins and check
   if the problem still occurs.
 * If it’s still going on ,u may have to check 1 by 1 which plugin is making the
   malfunction.
 * Or you could check the console in Firefox or Chrome to see the error. You’ll 
   probably have one.
 * Hope that helps,
    Regards
