I'm sorry for this newbie question, but I'M lost at this point:

I'm using Aquamacs 2.4 on MacOS X 10.6.8 and I'm currently trying to learn emacs and org-mode. I have several *.org files containing TODO items and I was able to display an agenda for those files,
however suddenly (I must have changed a configuration, but I don't see what I did wrong) the "standard agenda" (with command "a") is completely empty:

There is only one line "Week-agenda (W06):" nothing else.

However, all org-files are in the agenda file list and if I open one file and choose Set Restriction Lock to the current subtree, the rebuilt agenda view gets populated with the items from that subtree. But without the restriction I get an empty agenda again.

How can I switch back to the configuration I had before? Any ideas what I might have done wrong?

btw: when I invoke the agenda with option "t" (list of all todo entries) it seems to work and I really get this list.

EDIT

some more information: it seems to happen when I load my whole org-files directory as "agenda files". Something in there seems to change the agenda configuration. I'll try to add the files one by one and see when it happens.

Do you happen to remember making any configuration changes (through customize or .emacs file) of late? (Since you mention you must have). – Jonathan Leech-Pepin Feb 6 at 15:43
it seems, but I don't know what I changed (I did not do it purposeful). I deleted all preferences and configuration files and now it works again... :D – Martin Feb 6 at 16:20
@JonathanLeech-Pepin: it seems that the change of configuration is made by loading some file as an agenda file... I'll try them out. (see my edit in the question) – Martin Feb 7 at 9:26

Actually C-c a a will not show todo tasks unless they are scheduled or have deadline associated with it. So what you seeing is standard thing. you can check this by adding a schedule to any task using C-c C-s and see them with C-c a a (agenda for current week)

I DID see tasks with DEADLINE or SCHEDULED dates in the agenda before, but then (after - I assume some magical shortkey) nothing was displayed any more in the "normal" agenda. It seemed to ignore everything. – Martin Feb 6 at 15:35
@Martin Are you sure you have scheduled/deadlined entries for the current week? It sounds silly but if that's what happened you would seem to have a blank agenda. – Jonathan Leech-Pepin Feb 6 at 15:44
No, I don't have a blank agenda - I (still) have scheduled and deadline entries for today and the following days but with some strange configuration they seemed all to be hidden (maybe I've added a filter criterion for the agenda) Where are such changes of the configuration saved? – Martin Feb 6 at 16:21
