[QUOTE="PaulRanger1, post: 1617196, member: 314584"] Thank chscag for your swift and generous reply. I am now running 10.10 Yosemite and now that you mention it, the data erasures only started when I updated to Mavericks 10.9.2. I may not have used this program when my OS X was 10.9.1 as no problems of mass deletions occurred at that time. I would have installed 10.9.2 update around mid to late March 2014. Is that timeline correct, please? What makes me think that 4Media DVD Creator is responsible is that when the program was open, after using it, when I selected Quit from the program's own menu, the program froze (i.e. it would not quit nor respond in anyway whatsoever. AND icons (files) immediately started disappearing from the desktop screen as I was watching them vanish. Only by clicking on Finder and Force Quitting did the carnage cease (immediately). In addition, after I Forced Quit the program, OS X generated a report of the cause and I sent it to Apple. I have the entire text of the OS X report and it nominates "/Applications/4Media DVD Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/dvdcreator" as the culprit" and further on "30 MainWindow::qt_static_metacall(QObject*, QMetaObject::Call, int, void**) + 1848 (dvdcreator + 1876200) [0x1cb0e8] 30 MainWindow::makeTempFolderClean() + 442 (dvdcreator + 69866) [0x120ea] 30 ClearDirContents(QString, bool, bool, QString, QString) + 519 (dvdcreator + 1272167) [0x137967]". The pseudo text instructions (?) "ClearDirContents..." seem very convincing. The deletion episode also generates a "Temp" folder on the desktop with one or two (apparent ly) Photoshop "Var" files which I cannot open. Am I on the right track, please. Gratefully, PaulRanger1. P.S. 4Media DVD Creator for Mac is Version 7. Xilisoft now markets this program. P.P.S. No other programs whose licences I purchased and installed before Mavericks and/or Yosemite have failed to work following relevant program updates. Only 4Media DVD Creator. P.P.P.S. I'm about to click the LINK you kindly provided as I finish editing my reply. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
