I renamed the folder with the little house as its icon, and now I'm screwed

Here are the details:
* I am running the latest update to 10.4
* I changed the name of the folder with the little house as its icon. I changed it in the sidebar to the finder window. I changed the folder's name from it's original name to a new name, which is the name of my computer.
* As soon as I did so, I started experiencing problems. I was using Azureus to download something (legally, of course) and I started getting popup warnings stating that the save location could not be located.
* I then tried to open up my address book, which was now empty.
* At this point, I became pretty sure that I messed up the...how you say...references for all my programs. In other words, my address book looks in "x" location for its addresses. My iPhoto looks in "x" location for the pictures and library files, etc.
* I said to myself, "oh crap, look what I did" and attempted to change the folder with the little house as its icon from its current name back to the original. Unfortunately, it would not let me, and informed me that name was already in use.
* I then said, "oh crap" and logged out of the account. I forget what my thinking was in doing this.
* When I got to the log in screen, it gave me 4 options. There are two administrators' accounts; one I cannot access and my usual computer name. I logged into the latter, as usual.
* When logged back in, nothing was as it should be. My desktop picture was gone, my desktop folders were gone. My dock was positioned at the bottom of the screen and was not hiding. Also, the little house went back to the original name. My program to automatically startup the Dashboard did not kick in. I clicked on iTunes and it wanted me to click through all the user' agreement set up options. When I opened up iPhoto I canceled the pop up window that was offered and found that my iPhoto library, which usually has 4000+ pictures, was empty. I opened up "Comic Life," and it asked me to register. I then looked in the finder to see if I could find a document for work. I clicked on the documents folder in the sidebar, and everything showed up. I then tried to do a search, but the files could not be located. I even visually verified the files where there, but neither spotlight or the finder search could locate them. If I clicked on a file, it opens, even though I cannot "search" for it. I've even tried to click on the actual folder and do a specific search, and receive nada.
*I've located all of the documents/library/etc. under "Macintosh HD/users/*current name of little house icon*, but it appears as just a regular folder.
So...there it is. I know I've screwed up my paths, but am unsure how to restore the computer to how it was. If there is no restore function, I am also unsure how to make it so my programs recognize the original library, etc.

    I followed all of the directions after seeing that my laptop flashed the folder with the question mark. But when I went to disk utility to repair/ verify issues w/ start up disk it would not allow me to. The buttons to repair and modify we're there but they were grey and couldn't be pressed.

    Were you trying to repair the disk you were booted from? You can't do that - you need to boot from your install disk, and choose 'Disk Utility' from the 'install' menu.

    Ernest

    Not sure if I'm following you. I have 4 hard drives installed on my Mac Pro. I had a RAID 5 configured and functional for about 5 months. My battery died on the RAID card. I replaced the battery, seated the RAID card back in the slot I removed it from. When I booted to the USB drive to look in the RAID utility, I could see the battery is charged but my volumes are not showing.
    The drives don't show in disk Utility. I built the RAID with the RAID Utility and they did show there. I have a early 2008 Mac Pro, Mavricks OS running Mac Server

    My newest Mac just did the same "folder of death" dance. It's too late for you now, but you might consider a passport backup drive.You can get 2&3 T-bytes now fairly reasonably priced. A given with computers is they will crash, just a question of how bad and when, so you can be prepared for the next time.

  • The DFS Replication service stopped replication on the folder with the following local path: C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain

    Hi,
    i am facing the problem SVSVOL folder replication, i also checked dcdiag and result is DFSRevent fail .
    in event log i found the event Error:
    The DFS Replication service stopped replication on the folder with the following local path: C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain. This server has been disconnected from other partners for 173 days, which is longer than the time allowed by the MaxOfflineTimeInDays parameter
    (61). DFS Replication considers the data in this folder to be stale, and this server will not replicate the folder until this error is corrected.
    To resume replication of this folder, use the DFS Management snap-in to remove this server from the replication group, and then add it back to the group. This causes the server to perform an initial synchronization task, which replaces the stale data with fresh
    data from other members of the replication group.

  • I had this problem with the folder with the question mark in it

    hello guys, so i had this problem with the folder with the question mark in it and now i just keep the options button pressed till it shows me the option to boot and so how can i get that solved and my mac can just boot normally and something else is that i press on system preferences and nothing happens it basicly does not exist so if you guys could help me it would be great
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    It sounds like either the system on your disk drive is corrupt or the disk drive died.
    Assuming the information in your profile is correct then boot from the install DVD for you MBP. From there you should be able to run Disk Utility to check out the disk drive.

  • I tried for update but when i saw the screen its showing an arrow with a USB cable towards itunes icon, and now i'm not able to do anything, i also tried to connect ipad through my laptop but no use

    i tried for update but when i saw the screen its showing an arrow with a USB cable towards itunes icon, and now i'm not able to do anything, i also tried to connect ipad through my laptop but no use

    That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
    You can read bout it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Late 2008 macbook 13" prompts mac OS can not be installed on this computer after booting from disc as l get the folder with the question mark screen. New HDD or ?

    From the little research l have done, l have been convinced l may be having a dead hard drive though after having tried all the other troubleshooting tips found here, when trying to boot l get the grey screen and folder with the question mark suggesting it can not find the files neccessary to boot hence l tried booting with the disc and the message l get is that mac OS X can not be installed on this computer, though after doing the hardware check etc they all say okay. I've even tried erasing the drive and trying to instal the OS afresh with no luck. Any ideas or l must just get a new hard drive?

    Pretty sure BGreg hit the nail on the head. If your hard drive was failing, you would still be able to at least attempt an install, provided your ard drive was mounting. You usually get that message when the disk is incompatible with the computer. If it is the proper disk, you might try erasing the disk (provided your info is backed up) using Disk Utility (under Utilities in the menubar) and choose the Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) format.

  • Disk Warrior and 'The Folder with the ? Mark'

    Good morning. My MacBook recently crashed and I am left with the dreaded and endlessly blinking 'Question Mark Folder'. I have tried to restart using the System Disk and running Disk Utility but the Hard Drive is nowhere to be found.
    I have read in the Discussions that running DiskWarrior may help. I have the program on my PowerBook G4 as well as on an external hard drive, but I do not have a DiskWarrior disc. Is there a way to run the program from these to repair the drive on my MacBook or retrieve my data? If not, is there a way to make a DiskWarrior disc from my .dmg file?
    Thanks for your help.
    John

    Disk Warrior comes on a bootable disc unless you downloaded it or lost yours. You cannot easily make a bootable CD or DVD, but your could put it on a bootable external hard drive that has a bootable copy of OS X (current version) and your copy of DW must be at least 4.0 for Tiger or 4.1 for Leopard.
    However, it's most unlikely that DW will help you because the question mark means that important system files are lost or corrupted. The solution is to reinstall OS X. It's possible you can do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • I purchased an album recently, and one of the songs was not recorded into the folder with the rest of the songs.  How do I get that corrected?

    I recently purchased and downloaded an album from the itunes store.  One of the songs (#2) was not stored correctly with the rest of the songs and now my album is missing one song.  The song was stored into a separate folder, under a generic file name; not associated with the orignal album.  How do I get this corrected?

    Hello Kent
    The easiest way to correct it would be modify the song so that it matches the same information as the rest of the album. The following article will assist with that process.

  • HT3964 What is the folder with the finder and then a question mark?

    Help me i dont know what to do !White screen with a folder that has a finder icon and then a ? Mark

    Depending on the exact cause, you need to either reselect the Mac OS 9 or X system as the startup disk(only applicable if it starts up on its own), or use a disk repair program on the internal drive, or install an OS on the internal drive, or replace the internal drive.

  • "The folder with the notebook name you specified already exists. Please enter a different name" when tried to open existing onenote.onepkg

    Hi All,
    Office 365 -Onenote 2013
    I am facing this issue when ever i tried to open the existing Onenote.onepkg. Unless i give different name it will not open.
    What is the problem and how can i fix this?
    Thanx In Advance,

    Seems this a sync/conflict issue between your local OneNote and OneDrive. You must change your local folder name and avoid any existing files in that clould-folder may be overwritten by local files in the notebook you open, if the files have the same
    name.
    You'd better to change the name on one of sites.
    Thanks.

  • My ipod has the folder with the exlimation point on it and isnt updating

    I downloaded the updater but nothing happens when i plug my ipod in. It asks plug in ipod to update i do and it doesnt reconize it. Does this mean i have to send it in or is there another problem?

    Besides downloading the updater, you must install it then run it.
    After you do this, run the updater and when it asks you to connect an iPod, connect to one of the ports on the rear of your computer. Then reset the iPod while it's connected: hold down the Menu and Select (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo. This will often get it recognized.
