[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 987291, member: 38864"] Holy moley! Ok... you need to log in as a user with admin privileges, and not the one with the missing home folder. From this new user, use the terminal commands: sudo rm /Users/missingfoldername I'm assuming OS X remade your missing home folder, but without your stuff in it. This command will delete that new one. Next: sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/missingfoldername /Users This command will move the User folder from where you put it back to where it belongs. Hopefully this will work, and more hopefully without royally hosing your permissions on your home folder. [/QUOTE]
