so, i left my macbook plugged in and on all day long the other day.. came home.. my screen was black with just the arrow in the middle (i wanted to stay logged into ichat) but for some reason it wouldn't let me log back on. so i had to hold down the power off button for what seemed like longer then usual, and it wouldn't let me turn it back on until i unplugged the charger.
i dont know if the following has anything to do with the above but this is when it all started.
so i turned back on my mac, and immedietly the "finder" window pops up (which never happens.) i open up safari and it ALL my bookmarks are gone. also, a box keeps popping up every ten minutes or so that says that all my keychains have been lost, and i have to enter the password i enter when i startup my mac for internet to work. that's my problem w/ safari.
now, with itunes, it says that it can't load my normal library, that it has to open a damaged one. but ALL MY SONGS ARE GONE. limewire might have something to do with this, but at least i still have all my songs on there.
also, my iphoto pictures are ALL gone except for about 5.
oh, and about ichat. everytime i log onto it, it's as if i have just first turned on my macbook. like it goes through the directions on how to use it, asks me if i want to use jabber, bonjour, teaches me about video chatting, etc. i dont know WHY the heck it does this. but i'm afraid. i don't wanna make a fool of myself at the "genius" bar and wait forever at the store or on the phone with one of the mac guys. so someone, please.. help. or if this has happened to you before at least console me.
