[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 361499"] Welcome to Mac-Forums, kahnowerh. I might be wrong but it sounds like you changed your home directory's name which is the biggest no-no you can do. If this is the case, here is a thread where this topic was already discussed (no the symptoms aren't the same as yours but renaming a home directory makes the Mac react in different ways): [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57427&highlight=home+files"][B]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57427&highlight=home+files[/B][/URL]. There is a link to an Apple Knowledge Base Article on the right procedure on changing a home directory's name. Here's another (with a possible workaround): [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25604"][B]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25604[/B][/URL]. I hope this helps. :girl: [/QUOTE]
