Unable to edit my Wordpress website (through MAMP) - wordpress

I downloaded MAMP and Wordpress and started creating my website. Later, when I tried to access my website to edit it, I found I could only view it and but don't know to get to the page where I can edit it.
I open MAMP and click 'Open WebStart page' and it opens the start up page. Originally, I thought I was able to click 'My Website' at the top and it would take me to a page where I could edit it. Now it just takes me to a preview of the actual website.
I finally decided to just create a new WordPress page but when I watched a tutorial, I noticed the person clicked 'phpMyAdmin'. I don't have that as an option, my menu says 'Start, My Website, phpInfo, Tools, FAQ, Mamp Website.' So I'm very confused and can't even figure out how to start over. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you!

As far as accessing phpMyAdmin you may have to go into your MAMP preferences, select PHP and then select 7.0 PHP version that will initialize the phpMyAdmin link. However that does not solve the dashboard problem.

Wordpress dashboard is accessible from my PC but redirects to 404 on my laptop

as you can see in the title, I am able to login my Wordpress Website dashboard with no problem at all, on my Desktop. I've been doing the changes and security/plugin/theme updates using my Desktop. What I want to do right now is to do the same on my macbook. I want to be able to do the same from my macbook but I find it weird that on my PC, the dashboard is operational but on my macbook and my gf's laptop it redirects to the 404 error page.
I've tried clearing the cache upon doing some reading and saw some post about deleting the .hta access file but I am confused as to how files on my ftp is working on my desktop but not for my laptop.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read!
As it turns out I had a plugin conflict that changes my url dashboard slug for security purposes. A different developer created this website and had this plugin installed and it took me longer than I care to admit to notice this.

Wordpress Admin Dashboard not working. It does not load css files. Also the website is not able to edit using the customize buttons etc

I am not able to edit the Wordpress site at all. The dashboard looks like its not loading css. But also the links are not working, each time I press anything on the bare-looking dashboard, it takes me to Page not found. I am facing this issue because I changed the admin password from phpMyadmin using cPanel. From that moment, this is all messed up. It would be awesome if I get a solution for this. (Ps. I do have a backup of the site but it is old, so it does not have a lot of changes done recently, so I cannot roll back to old version
If you are using any cache plugin, then deactivate it, clear your browser cookies, also try to access it from different IP from another place.

WordPress Woocommerce 'view basket' link points to old website

I have developed a WordPress webstore using Woocommerce which works fine on my dev server (e.g. dev.foo.com). However when I migrate the site to my live production webserver (e.g. livefoo.com) and point the live domain to the site the 'view basket' button which appears once you have added an item to your basket still links to the dev server (e.g. dev.foo.com/basket, instead of livefoo.com/basket). I have run a couple of search and replace plugins to update the mysql database to change any instances to the new domain but the problem still remains. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks for everyone's help. I ran through and checked permalinks, database etc. I finally found some hard coded lines in a woo commerce template page called 'footer-woo.php' which I replaced and everything now is working fine.
That sounds like you need to go to your wordpress setting and save your permalinks so it can be rewritten. if this does not solve the issue please export the database again and open it in wordpad and do a search for the link on your dev site to ensure that the database on the live server no longer has any of these links left in it. wordpad is very useful to use to check ur database file for these bad links. Good Luck

Wordpress Plugin not showing on admin side

I've migrated a Wordpress theme onto my localhost for some dev work. I'm trying to install a new plugin, and weird things are happening.
If I install the plug-in manually by dragging the file into the wp-content>plugins folder, the plugin never shows up on the admin panel.
If I install the plug-in through the admin panel (by search or by upload), it shows up and activates on the admin side, but then the files for the plugin are nowhere to be seen on my harddrive. I searched in the plugin folder, nothing. I searched the entire computer. nothing.
Interesting, from the admin panel itself the files are shown when I click "edit". Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thank you!
figured out the answer. Turned out I didn't update the wp_option table of the database, so I was literally logging into the admin from the old site. Doh. Thanks all!
did you update the home url and site url in your wp_options? Sounds like you are logging into the backend of the live website

wordpress theme customization is blank in admin

I am having an issue that i have been unable figure out. The problem im having is when i login to wordpress admin and try ro customize the theme nothing displays besides the nav. I can edit pages, posts, basically do everything in The Admin except customize the theme. When i upload to a live server i dont have this issue. I'll attach a link to an image for visual reference.
I'm running wamp on windows 8 with wordpress 3.5.1. I added the plugin server buddy to check the setup and everyhing appears fine. Permissions were 755 and I temporarily set it to 777 to make sure wasn't that for any strange reason. One thing I notice with folders is if I look at properties read only is highlighted not checked and applying win't save the change. Could be because have them applied in advance security settings?
I have tried this with multiple themes all the same result.
Here is the screenshot.

Thanks in advance for any help.
I had the exact same problem. I was forcing SSL/HTTPS on the admin console as well. I turned off HTTPS on the admin console (still in use for my shopping cart) and all is well.
