[QUOTE="dannyboy22, post: 1951751, member: 312057"] Thanks once again to all who provided advice & recommendation on the sudden "death" of my iMac. A quick update I took it for a check at our local "Mac specialist" repair shop who after a couple of weeks testing was unable to find the fault and as requested returned the iMac with the hard drive removed for me to see what was salvageable. The good news was that I could see and open all my Document files, previous saved folders of photographs from an earlier computer, my Downloads, my Music and Applications. However what I haven't yet been able to locate are: Bookmarks/Reading List from Safari and my Emails (other than previously saved email folders), I can locate a series of folders for the Calendar in the Library but these have a .plist extension for the file which when clicked shows "no application to open" (I haven't had time to check the App Store to see what is available). If I click on Contacts or Photos in Applications it seems to default to those current files on the Mac. computer I'm using to read the external iMac hard drive on rather than the drive itself. Any further explanation on why I can't find some of the files mentioned above would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
