    i made a movie in imovie and saved it to my desktop. now i cant find it using finder. i might have accidentally deleted but i dont think i did. what do u think happened, and is there a way to recover it if it was deleted, like a system restore or something. i dont have leopard so i dont have timemachine or whatever but that woud be nice.

    Well, certainly give Spotlight a shot at finding it, but it does sound like perhaps you deleted it by mistake. There are file salvage tools for OS X but they work best when you've noticed right away and haven't written any other data to the disk.

    If nothing else your predicament does highlight why Time Machine is such a great tool.
