This is bad. Real bad.
Here's the situation: I was using my iMac to sync my iPad. I had iTunes open and was transferring files from the Pages App to my computer. I grabbed one document and pulled it across to the desktop and dropped it there.
IMMEDIATELY I got the message: "You do not have permissions to do this."
At the same time, suddenly, everything on my desktop disappeared. Gone completely.
I have checked in finder, and the files are gone from there as well. I searched the recycle bin, no luck. I did a spotlight search for some of the files: nothing.
I am now speechless. I do not know what else I can do. I had some very important files on the desktop, for example an assignment due tomorrow and a particially made short film, among others.
The funny thing is that I just switched to Apple from Windows, to have LESS problems like this and I finally thought that my files were safe.
Please if anyone knows anything I can do, please, please, PLEASE help me.
Thankyou
PS. Another thing to note is I had just updated the ipad to version 4.3.3
