[Avid-L2] Re: MC7 - Disappearing Bin Contents

Make sure the bins have the .avb extension on them. I doubt that's your issue but when bouncing between versions and newer mac os systems back to 10.6.8 if there is no extension the bin shows up and opens once then disappears from the project window. Not quite what you are describing but worth a look.
