Hi

I am a new Mac user and just love it! Problem is that occasionally computer freezes, or I need to restart it. When I do restart, everything seems to "go back" a few days; my calender, anything i bookmarked in Firefox is gone, even my emails, that i had deleted, come back into my inbox.

I find this weird.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me what the problem is and how to fix it.
I am not a geek, just an everyday computer user

Thanks!

Do you have an external bootable backup? If so then it may be selected at startup and will take you back to the last backup you performed. Hold down the option key at reboot. I don't have any other suggestions, but your computer shouldn't be freezing...Something odd going on!

What Mac do you have? Specs?

I think a lot of things do not get properly saved until you quit an application, so if you keep all your applications open and then your computer crashes, it will only have the data of when the apps were last closed 'properly'

As to why you mac is crashing, is your hard drive full? Have you recently added extra RAM? Is the power lead seated properly?

Also it could be the first crash you had has corrupted a file which is now causing all the other crashes - do you know how to do the basic disk repairs?

A Mac running OS X should not just randomly freeze. That indicates a serious problem that should be fixed.
