I wasn't sure where to post this sorry, i'm new, hello.


Please help me. It's an iMac G5 1.8 17" 1.256Gb

I was importing some music fromflash drive (about a gB) when i foolisly decided to change the name of my Home Folder whilst i was importing the music from flash drive to External hard drive.

The system crashed and i was faced with the beachball of death for 20 minutes.. I was forced to relaunch Finder. When i did so i though everything was ok, but i noticed that the hghlight selection had changed from Graphite to blue, i went to change that back and then noticed that once i had done, my desktop image had changed back to standard. I went to change that back but found that all the pictures in iPhoto had vanished (this was the start of my troubles)

I've tried repairing disc permissions 4 times, restarted , shut down, nothing is restored.

I'm only now realising how many changes i had made to the system, for instance, the mouse cursor is a lot less sensative and i've just noticed my entire iTunes library has dissapeared.

What can i do, please help me

Welcome to MacNN.

I do not know how to solve your problem, however you should note: forum rules state you should not make the title of your thread 'help!' or 'important' - this tells a person nothing about the topic of the thread, and hence will get less results.

Also, you posted this in the Mac OS X forum too - do not double post, choose a place to post your question, and stick with it (in this case, the Mac OS X forum is the right forum)
