[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1944557, member: 396914"] In your deletion enthusiasm, you have deleted something that was critical. With no backup, and given the fact that reinstalling the app that needed whatever you deleted didn't put it back in place, there isn't much that can be done. As Patrick says, it's pretty much un-recoverable. You don't have many alternatives. If this app is the ONLY one not performing, then just get rid of it and use something else that will work. If, however, there are other apps not working and throwing errors because of your deletions, then you might try making a backup of what you have and then reinstalling the operating system through the Rovery process, which should just put the system back as Apple designed and leave your data alone. If that doesn't work then you may want to consider the "nuke and pave" approach of making a backup of your critical data, then wiping out the hard drive, installing the OS from new, then reinstalling all of the apps you want/need and then restoring your data and see if that somehow puts back what you deleted. It might, or might not. Two takeaways: 1) don't delete things you don't know about, and 2) backup. [/QUOTE]
