This is a very odd problem.
I was using my Powerbook yesterday and noticed that a couple of PDFs I had on my desktop had the generic white file icon, and double-clicking them resulted in OS X not being able to find an application to run them. So I checked my Applications folder and Preview was missing!
Luckily someone I know has exactly the same laptop so I just copied the Preview.app file from them.
Anyways, today I plug in my iPod, which is set to automatically update any new photos that I've added to iPhoto. Except.... I got an error claiming that I had no suitable photo application, and was asked if I'd like to reset my photo sync info. And once again, the relevant application, here iPhoto, had been deleted from the disk!
I've not done anything on the computer recently that would cause a major change of behaviour such as this - I've just been using it as normal!
Any ideas then please let me know, as I don't wanna lose all my apps!!
