I am really confused at the moment!!! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I renamed the house icon in the finder to capitalise my name and now its gone all screwy and basically loaded OS X with nothing on it. Im really worried as i cant find my pictures.

The idisk has changed name also.

Have i loaded onto a different partition???

Im really stressed at the moment, hve i lost everything???

it sounds like you might have changed you account name.
look in folders named user and check for your files there.

or try renaming back to what it was?

and you can restore of the cds that came with you mac

good luck

Just rename it back if you can find it and reboot.

Process detailed there.



For future reference - back up ffs! This time you haven't lost everything, but next time you might. Not backing up makes the baby Jesus cry.

Thank you so much my good, good , even gooder friend!!!

I did get to that page before hand and tried it but didn't do anything!

I re-read it slowly this time and its worked!

Thanks you sooo much!!!!

I think thats the most stressed ive ever been on my mac first time for everything!

Lesson to all!

Backing up now!!!
