I cannot believe what has happened this morning or what I might have done to make it happen (seeing as all I've been doing is normal surfing/using).
I just looked at my e-mail which was open in the background and then checked on a draft I was compiling. On opening it said something like 'the content of this draft has not been downloaded this account needs to be taken online' or words to that effect. I then shut Mail down and when I opened it up again it strated to take me through a new set up procedure as if I had no accounts at all!!!!
I then shut the whole Mac down and restarted it. Result, it seems like it's virtually a new machine. The Dock is back at the bottom, not the side where I had it, the 100 or so entries in Delicious Library are gone and it's asking me whether I want to load the demo!!!!!!. I dread to think what else has been erased. Safari has also gone back to the default settings it seems with al the original feeds and default groups set up which I had taken pain to set up the way I wated. Also I notice that it seems just about every single folder has the pale blue default folder marker where as the left side of Finder used to have Icons and whatever? It's as if 75% of the machine has gone back to if ite's had never been used.
I hope to god that having spent the last week setting this up and creating files etc as I really do not have the time to go through it al again. If this is the way Macs behave Apple can have this back and I'll have a refund and get something that works. Really not impressed at all and have absolutely no idea what has caused this and/or why, or, more importantly, how to fix it. It really calls into question the stability of MacBooks for me and at the moment I'm not impressed at all
