WordPress 3.5, Media not showing in Dashboard

The problem seems not specific to version 3.5

I have installed version 3.3.2 giving the exact same behavior.

The site is running in IIS 8, should I configure rewrite rules?

I have solved this issue. It hade to do with the SQL Server database abstraction.

In translations.php:

Make sure extra parenthesis has been removed from $pattern = ‘/LIMIT\s*(\d+)((\s*,?\s*)(\d+)*)(;{0,1})$/is’;
The resulting line will be: $pattern = ‘/LIMIT\s*(\d+)((\s*,?\s*)(\d+)*);{0,1}$/is’;

WordPress 3.5.1 – same issue.

“hotfix” plugin no fixy.

Disabled all plugins – no fixy.

Downloaded entire installation of WordPress to my hard drive, found “translations.php” in folder “\wp-includes\pomo” — opened it, no occurrence of “$pattern” found. Should I add it?!

Of course, the question “Why is this happening in the first place?” begs to be asked, as this is only happening on ONE of my 40 websites.

Hmm. I just went back to Media Library, changed the dropdown from “Show all dates” to “April 2013” and now it’s showing my images.
