Your fractured objects are on the second layer. The original object is kept unmodified on the first layer. The following is a good, detailed video tutorial on the subject: [this video]

I'm a beginner in Blender and I was trying to do this tutorial [this video] This is a planet being fractured, so cell fracture addon is used. At 6:20, after cell fracture has been applied and I have switched to layer 2, it is said to press ⇧ Shift +RightMouseButton on one of the pieces so that it becomes possible to work on all the pieces at the same time in edit mode (by joining them). The problem is that it does not work for me. I'm using Blender version 2.71.
