I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

If I reset my Mac's PRAM and NVRAM because the question mark in starting up . Will that earase anything ?

Hold the option key down and boot your computer, a row of icons appears, select your OS X and click the arrow
Once in, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select yours, this will tell the firmware again what your supposed to boot from.
If that doesn't work, then run through this list of fixes

Outlook for Mac. All emails go to trash.

Thank you.
I have just configured my company emails to Outlook for Mac on my MacBookPro. It worked well, but as of last Thursday, all of my incoming emails will go first to inbox and then immediately go to trash. They are shown unopened in trash.
Now, I have two accounts going to OutLook. My hotmail account is going there with no issues.
Thanks,
Randall

For the second problem, as long as the email is left on the server, all other devices and webmail will download the messages with they retrieve mail. The only way to stop that is to set each device or application to delete the message from the server once read, moved from the inbox, or immediately after downloading. You can do this on some or all devices.
Example: you can set your iPhone to leave the messages on the server if you want to download them later on your computer and you can set your computer to delete the message when downloaded on it so you won't have to view them on the iPhone later. However, if your iPhone is always on and it downloads email before you download it to the computer, it will still be on your iPhone.
These settings can be done in Mail>Preferences under the Accounts Tab and advanced Tab. How you set each device depends on how you want to keep mail. Most people want to save a copy forever. If so, you need to make sure they stay on the server until they are downloaded on the device you want to keep them on. If you don't need to keep messages, then set each device to delete from the server once downloaded.
If you have an IMAP account, then things get a bit different on everything. I should have asked that first.
On you original problem, when using so many devices, things get confusing when using so many devices to access the same things. Especially with IMAP. Settings on one can change the behavior on other devices. Does the problem of your messages going to the trash happen only when you read it on the MacBook first, or is it random even when you first view it on the Mac Pro. And, if it's in the trash on the Mac Pro, is it in the trash on the iPad also?

What can I do to boot?

Restart with the Option key held down.
If the internal drive shows up, it's the PRAM battery.
If it doesn't, insert a compatible Mac OS 9 or X install disk, click the button with the circular arrow, and either repair the internal drive or install a new OS on it. If it doesn't show up in Disk First Aid(9) or the Disk Utility(X), it's either not plugged in or needs to be replaced.

I sent Firefox to the trash on my mac but can not empty the trash because of locked files. I want to do a fresh install because the update made it impossible for me to get into my e-mai account. how do I delete the old firefox?

re: uninstalling by moving Firefox to the trash: i received the following message: There are some locked items in the Trash. Do you want to remove all the items, including the locked ones, or just the unlocked items?
I have tried to un lock and to remove all items and have been unsuccessful - repeatedly.

Try:
* http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1402 Unable to move, unlock, modify, or copy an item in Mac OS X
Open the file information via one of these methods:
* Right click on the File or use the File menu and select "Get Info"
* Mark all files and press Command + Alt + I
In the "General" tab remove the check-mark in "Locked"
Trash and delete them.

I have my mac's recovered files in my trash and i want to delete the items in my trash can i put my recovered files in a separate folder on my desktop and empty my trash or do they have to stay in my trash?

Empty the trash to release more HD space.
NOTE: memory=RAM=hardware Storage space & memory are 2 different things.

Mac Newbie - System restore/Time machine type question

Hi There, Macbook newbie here, got my macbook for xmas and I am totally converted.
I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of how to set up a 'system restore' type of thing similiar to the windows system restore via time machine.
Do I need to connect to an external hard drive for this?
External hard drive question, are there special 'mac' external hard drives or could I just pick anyone up eg seagate/freecom etc?
Anti virus question: which software would you recommend for Anti virus?
Appreciate any help and looking forward to making them most of my new mac!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
In addition to the info offered by Jolly Giant, Time Machine is rather different from the system restore feature of Windoze.
First, a bit of terminology: +Time Machine+ is the software built-in to recent Macs that does backups and restores. It can back up to an internal HD, an external HD, or a +Time Capsule,+ which is a piece of Apple hardware that combines a wireless router and hard drive.
Technically, this forum is for +Time Capsules;+ there are separate forums in the Leopard and Snow Leopard sections for +Time Machine.+
Time Machine backs-up +*your entire system+* -- OSX, apps, configuration, users, settings, preferences, data, etc. It also keeps previous versions of things you've changed or deleted (so it needs more space than what's used on your system).
You can then easily browse the backups and restore selected items, if you've deleted or changed them in error, or they somehow got corrupted.
Or, if something goes terribly wrong, you can also restore your entire system to the exact state it was in at the time of any backup, even if that's a previous version of OSX. That's the procedure Jolly Giant referred you to in the FAQ Tip.
You might want to review these:

and perhaps browse the Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.

Mac is rerouting iTunes files to trash

My iTunes library seems to be self-destructing. I first noticed that some of the music would not play, and got an error message that the file no longer exists. The message asks if I would like my computer to locate it. I could not find the music anywhere.
After reading a few other forums here, I looked up the info for the songs that were not playing. The info shows that the file has been routed to the trash.
As I work to try to restore my music, I notice more and more of the songs are being marked this way. Everytime I open my library, more songs are gone.
I have already tried to find them in the trash, but since my library has over 3,500 songs, it would be incredibly tedious to manually move the songs back to my itunes.
When I tried to use time machine to restore my entire library, the time machine itunes looked exactly like the one I have now, instead of they way it was during the date of the backup.
My music consists of songs and albums purchased through iTunes, CD's,and mp3 files digitized from vinyl. The problem seems to be attacking songs indiscriminately no matter the source. When I called iTunes for support, they assured me that I could simply download the purchased items from my accounts. Well, that covers about 50 of the 3,500 songs.
All of my files were legally purchased and I cannot understand why iTunes seems to be renaming the file paths to the trash for me.
Can anyone help?

Also - I see the forum is automatically labeling my computer as a MacBook, 13 inch from early 2008. That sounds like the computer I bought for my son. This computer, the one I am talking about is an IMac, Intel core, running Mac OSX 10.6.8.
