[QUOTE="Cole 505, post: 235273"] Thanks so much for your fast, informed posts! when I mean IMPORTANT folders, I would say 'sidebar' stuff you can't just "replace" like 'movies' or 'music'.... also entire applications or 'system preferences' (you "can't use" this cause it's "in the TRASH...." ) I just keep saying ***??!!! This particular computer(newest 'baby' LOL ) is used by no one except me...I was sick of fixing shyte for the family instead of surfing or working, ha...also I have the MacBook locked/password only. Could the problem be ownership on stuff I transferred over from my other computer? Because I had all kinds of problems with that for awhile until I booted into administrator mode (or whatever apple calls it, can't recall..sorry!) and also downloaded a third party app and "forced" ownership on a lot of stuff I couldn't get to... [U]in kind of a separate problem (maybe?) [/U] the system doesn't seem to remember my network stuff I keep saving (although that may be due to using Netgear instead of apple produced router network setup?) I have my network setup to NOT broadcast (SSID)plus locked down with a WEP password, etc...sometimes I turn on computer and airport hooks right up and sometimes it just asks if I want to join some neighbor's network! It happened before when I had broadcast name on as well...if someone here can point me to a thread RE: PC & Apple network setups that WORKED and the hardware used I would be incredibly grateful!
