I *just* got delivery of my new 20" Duo Core iMac today and I'm already having a weird problem with it. I've searched though apple's support pages and the forums here and found
this. but it's a slightly different problem than mine.
On my desktop, I can only see the folders I placed there... no files. Same thing in the finder - only folders and no files. I know the files are there though, because I can see them via the finder if I'm logged into the machine from another computer. I can also see them via the command line:
Code:
Risotto:~/Desktop steph$ ls -al

What the hell? Is it some weird setting that's been turned on or is this thing cursed?
(btw, if you want a new imac, order it from amazon before february 7th. their $150 rebate + no sales tax saved me $200 over the _educational_ price - the whole thing cost me $1500, after rebate. and they even gave me next day shipping for $4 for signing up for a free trial of their amazon prime program.)
