[QUOTE="kahnowerh, post: 361484, member: 29340"] Hello. I'll get right into it: My first hint was when safari stopped referencing SIMBL files... Then I noticed that my iCal events were not showing up... And iTunes music was not on iTunes... And pictures weren't showing up on iPhoto... And GarageBand... And Mail... And (etc, etc, etc)... Turns out ALL of the files that were in my home directory are now in a folder of the same name in the applications folder. Now: Mac HD> Users> Kahnowerh (Home) = completely empty, while: Mac HD> Applications> Kahnowerh (was Home, now folder) = contains everything that should be in the former location. ie: Kahnowerh (Home)> Desktop (desktop icon) = empty Mac HD> Applications> Kahnowerh (folder)> Desktop (folder) = everything that was on my desktop I could drag files to their appropriate places, but it doesn't seem like this should have happened in the first place. And if I do begin an epic campaign of dragging, I'm afraid it will become messy and I'll be left with duplicates or end up erasing something. What's the easiest way to go about doing this? Has this happened with anyone else? [/QUOTE]
