For some reason all of my photos in iphoto are squares with ! in them. So I tried to restart, and it didn't restart, and then I tried to shut down and it didn't shut down. Then I held the power button to force the shut down and when I booted back up my system preferences had gone back to the factory settings, and I don't have my photos, what's wrong?

Did you actually check if the photos are there? Use the Finder for that. If you have them you may have to re-import them. It seems like your iPhoto library info. got corrupted.

Yea, I did, and there isn't anything there. I tried to check the originals folder and there isn't anything there.

Did you happen to change the name of your "home" folder recently?

Nope. I just got off the phone with apple care and after an hour he tells me that there is a corrupt file. So here I go importing my 1883 pics again.
