WordPress graphics to theme not showing

I have gotten a wordpress theme which I ordered and paid for (no baby themes in the free catagory suited what I wanted)
I’ve uploaded the theme to my cpanel into the correct folder etc and the theme shows up in my wordpress admin.

Trouble is the graphics aren’t all showing up and I’m not sure what I need to do next.

Tried putting url’s of my photo bucket account for the graphics but word press won’t allow me to edit the theme.

What makes you think I’m new to this. :0

Help would be much appreciated as I’m about to get carted off by the guys in white coats.
Yes, I uploaded all the files that came in the zip folder. I just uploaded them in the same folder that they come out of the zip in though. Am I supposed to upload them individually or doe’s it not matter.

The graphics I’m trying to add to the theme are graphics that go with it.
I ordered the template

and had the banner changed. the banner is the main graphic that shows up at the moment, along with the background but about 6 other little bullets and small banner is missing although they are in the file I received.

I’m not trying to edit in order to change it, just to have it looking as it should.

I’m not having much luck with word press at all. grrrrrr!
No! sorry, header isn’t showing up, in fact no graphics that should be are showing up.
This is all I’m actually getting.

How do open source companies avoid harmful contributions and find the useful ones?

Because wikipedia is open source, I can modify anything I want. But what happens if someone deletes, adds bad content, modifies useful content ? What does wikipedia do to prevent that ?

The last question is available for any other open source software: linux, php etc. How do they know which contribution is useful and which is harmful ?
Thank you.

How Do I Update Open Office?

How do I update my version of openoffice 2.0 to 2.x

Would I need to download a complete new version of open office 2.x
Would I need to deinstall my version of OO 2.0 first?

some tips?
1 please read the question ( do I need to download the whole open office again )

2 I do not found the answer on the open office site

3 nothing in the open office 2.0 help about update
what I have found:
-you need to load the entire file to actualize the previous version of OO
– you dont’ need to uninstall the previous version, – the new one will install upon it
