Houston... I have a problem. Just recently I had company for 3 weeks and their kids have been playing on my desktop and...
NOW
I have no folders on my desktop ... I can't mount finder, when I do I get a dialog screen " the home folder for user isn't located in the usual place or can't be accessed..
In Activity Manager and Disc Utility it shows the data is still stored on the hard drive but can't be accessed. If I right click on my hard drive while in Disc Utility I can open path but all folders are empty including Library.. If I click on the "home" folder I am prompted with dialog screen stating " the alias "home" can't be opened because the original can't be found... I have the option to select "delete alias" , "Fix Alias" or "OK"
All applications on the dock can be nounted except for Finder... running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Shall I click on 'fix alias' - will this restore to original configuration?
Or do any of you Mac genus's have any other suggestions? Command options?
Also note... I am running LS but it does not appear any rules have been changed...
Need help...Lost, Confused and Bewildered
Thank in advance...
