[QUOTE="Magneto, post: 383603, member: 30625"] Hi I was given my Dad's old ibook g4 about a year ago and have been loving the mac system. I have been importing all of my cd's and pix onto the hard drive. Recently, I got a message stating that my startup disk was close to full. So, I went into the hard drive and started deleting a bunch of files and games that I no longer use. I thought that did the trick. Next my mac froze up and basically dumped a bunch of my information. My itunes dumped all of my music files eventhough they are still on my hard drive and I lost all of my financial information on Quicken. When I bring up Safari it dumped all of my bookmarked web pages. Basically it dumped everything I had except for music and pix. My hard drive shows only 412mb of memory left. I bought an external hard drive and put all of my music and pix on that as a backup but still have them on the hard drive to have access. I am at a total loss of words on what to do. I can't believe it dumped all my financial info etc... without a warning. Any help? Thanks in advance for any advice you can lend. [/QUOTE]
