[QUOTE="Lhollo, post: 753097, member: 73113"] A folder containing images has vanished from my Mac Pro Octocore. This has happened to me once before. It was stored on an additional 500GB hard drive that I had installed in the machine - I use the main 500GB drive for applications, and keep all files on the other internal drive. I have had problems like this with all of my drives in the past though (I also have externals). I have run searches for the folders, and looked in every place I can think of but they don't seem to exist anymore. How is this possible?! I am currently running PhotoRescue, but don't hold out much hope - it's never found files that have disappeared in the past. I'm running the latest Version of OSX 10.5.2 I'm a photographer and had spent most of last night working on these, ready for an order which needed to be sent today. I've had a lot of problems with the machine since buying it last April. Various applications (everything from Photoshop to Textedit to Finder) will refuse to force quit fully - it'll say that they've quit but they stay illuminated in the dock. Once this has happened, the only way I can shut the machine down is by holding the power button. I always close all open windows (if possible) before powering down. I wonder whether this is the cause of my missing folder... I've also had groups of files from within a folder become corrupt. I'm still quite a Mac novice. Is there a directory I can look in to see where they might be, if they still exist? Unfortunately, I don't have Applecare, and the 3 month warranty has expired. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks for your help! [/QUOTE]
