[QUOTE="l0uismustdie, post: 1068002, member: 161359"] Thank you both for your replies. In response to hughvane: Time machine has some pretty basic settings and none of which include a remove original files or anything of the like. Maybe I should have titled this post differently but I believe time machine is the object behind the problems here. It is the only variable unaccounted for in my system. (Thanks for the note, I posted my specs) To McBie: I can agree Time Machine SHOULDN'T remove files from the source disk. However, it is the only program that is running in all instances of this error occurring. Maybe you have an idea what the "something else" could be because that is exactly what I am looking for. To the second point no one has access to my computer or my iPod since I work from my laptop on a daily basis and my iPod is invariably with me, generally plugged into my laptop as was the case when I was running time machine to backup my files. In regards to using spotlight: As I said in a previous post the files are no longer on my internal drive. Of this I am 100% certain. The files are also not on my iPod. Thanks again for both your suggestions but I don't think we have quite hit the root of them problem. [/QUOTE]
