[QUOTE="atomheartmother, post: 258094, member: 20164"] Yes, I'm relatively new to Macs, but I know that stuff was moved and disorganized and that something is messed up. On the left panel of Finder, when I click the User icon (which used to be Jesse), only the following icons are in the folder: Desktop, Documents, Library. It used to have Downloaded Files, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public, and Sites folders in it. They are not in there now. Under the Documents icon on the left panel of Finder, I am missing the folder with the important docs. All those folders that are missing can be accessed by doing the following: Clicking Mac HD (upper left panel of Finder)->Users->Jesse Also, Spotlight cannot locate any of the files in the "missing" folders (the ones that can only be located as stated just above). Shouldn't Spotlight be able to find anything? It could yesterday. Finally, when I tried to change the name of the User icon (on the left panel of Finder) to Jesse, it said that the name was already taken. This leads me to believe that all the "missing" folders are there, but I just can't see them. These are the "missing" folders that could only be located by the alternate method above (by manually going through the Mac HD): [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/atomheartmother8888/Picture1-2.png[/IMG] Some more photos. In the next, shouldn't there be more folders; shouldn't Music, Movies, Pictures, and Documents folders be in here? [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/atomheartmother8888/Picture4.png[/IMG] There were definately more folders under User (which used to be called Jesse): [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/atomheartmother8888/Picture2.png[/IMG] There used to be another folder in here with my important docs: [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/atomheartmother8888/Picture3.png[/IMG] Sorry, I don't have before photos, but it's different now. I don't recall changing anything. [/QUOTE]
