[QUOTE="isaachayes, post: 732635, member: 68904"] Hello all, I'm not commonly a Mac person, or a computer person at that. Although, I do own and even use a Macbook on occasion. Today, I was looking to upload some software dealing with music editing, and incidentally, I thought it might be a good idea to run Parallels and possibly Ubuntu as well for this purpose. Before I did any of this, I went through the computer to clean it up a little, as my sister shares it with me. So, I went about trashing anything looking like some random nonsense a teenage girl would normally download whilst on her facebook, skype, and meebo chatting spree. Now, I have files, folders, and applications disappearing while I'm working. I'm not familiar with the Mac do and do not rules, but I am almost certain that I've deleted a desktop folder of some type, and that, yes, certain items are being routed directly to my trash bin. And no, they do not appear in the bin; they're just gone, nowhere on the hard drive. I care not how foolish this sounds, as I'm sure it does. But I do have important art work, writing, and friends' work that I would like to manage. Thanks so much Isaac [/QUOTE]
