I am watching "How to make child themes"in How to Make a Website with Wordpress. In my wordpress, I have 7 theme options (I installed) that show up under appearance>themes as options for me to activate. But on my computer itself, only the Twenty-eleven and Twenty-twelves themes show. I am trying to create a child theme for the Finale theme but Finale (and the other 4) doesn't show up. Any ideas?

I think you might have an FTP problem on your hands. You need to make sure to sync from the server to your local machine, not the other way around.

You should see all the themes/plugins that you download through the WP admin once you've done that.
