Hi all
I was wondering if anyone could help. I've lost all of the files that were saved in the "My Documents" folder and I don't really know how it's happened. The only things I have done which I think could have caused the problem is...
1) Updated the operating system to OSX 10.4 from an old one.
2) Changed the user name on the profile. (I changed it by going into Apple / system preferences / accounts / username )
I have been informed that the operating system update should not have affected it and i think I checked all my docs after that update so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
Also, I have been searching forums about "home folder" problems and most seem to tell you to open the hard drive and then open Users and the old profile will be in there. When I do it, it's not! It's just got the current one and one called shared?!
I've used the apple F search facility to try and locate the files but no joy. Can anyone help at all? I'm stuck and desperately need those files.
