For some unknown reason while I was using my desktop iMac, all of a sudden I lost all information on my Mail, Address book, and desktop. I lost all bookmarks of Safari. when I opened any of them, they were blank. I tried to reinstall them, but the reinstalled program was just as if it were a bran mew program.
I do not have a backup. I do have almost identical information on another computer - a Mac laptop.

iMac Desktop, 17 inch
early 2006
OS X 10.6.8

Is there any way I can recover the lost data/information?

Thank You

Sounds like you changed the name of your home folder - that's a no-no.
