[QUOTE="Cole 505, post: 235250"] [b]folders & apps 'relocating' into the TRASH ?![/b] FWIW Note: I used dogpile AND the forum search engine here for two hours prior to posting this i'm pretty much ready to trash this thing and reinstall os x.... i have an intel mac and since day one, so many weird random errors happening I don't know where to start... except that my apps, including several times really important things like System Preferences, keep ending up in the freaking TRASH!! :oneye: I had some problems with home folder, user, desktop type changes I shouldn't have done, which explained some of it; in addition I have a MacIntel and did transfer some PPC apps from my old g4 powerbook before I realized duh...(I switched from windows not even a year ago and I was used to having to "fix" stuff my husband or stepkids screwed up on the PC, what can I say?!) all that being said....is there something I am supposed to do (lock?) to a folder or something before I trash a duplicate to ensure the REAL thing doesn't end up in the garbage? also found a log which stated that a "native install" was performed on March something....which was probably before they sent it to me.... is it possible that "native" meant they installed the WRONG os for my Intel Macbook....like a powerpc os? thanks in advance for helping prevent a meltdown in my brain...
