View 1 RepliesReports have been cropping up on the Apple Support forums that users have been losing all their data due to a nasty bug in Snow Leopard, Apple's latest Operating System. Many users are reporting that all settings are being reset and most data is gone, according to iTWire.
The problem, can easily be reproduced when a user logs into the 'guest' account, either on purpose or by accident, and when they log back out of the account and back into their normal one, they find that their account has been fully reset with all data wiped and lost - the account is like a brand new one. The home directory still exists under "/Users/username" but is completely empty.
Users are reporting that the data is unrecoverable and cannot be found anywhere on the hard drive, and the only way to restore it is if the user has been performing backups on a separate hard-drive. Apparently the problem has been present since a few days after launch, as the forum post dates back to 12th September, but as of yet, Apple has been silent.
It seems the only work around at this stage is to disable the Guest account, or at least disable it and then re-enabling it so that it's a native Snow Leopard account. Another suggestion is to create a new account and enforce parental controls, if you really need a temporary account.
It's not clear how many users are affected, but it seems like any user who had Leopard before the upgrade, and had the guest account enabled are affected and are at risk.
Luckily... I'm a Win 7 guy.
I love sync, Calendars, and Mail and would hate to lose them on my Macbook Pro, but it seems that if I upgrade to Lion to operate iCloud, then Word2004 won't work any more. I've tried using Word 2011, but it seems to hang up avery 5 minutes and require a force quit.Â
I hate being forced to choose. I work every day with Word, to prepare reports, notes and manuals for my teaching job. I want somethign that just works, and Word2004 (like Word 5.1 which I used for 12 years before it) works. Word 2011 does not seem to be as reliable.Â

A client already has an iCloud email address running on their iMac Mail app. They want to add a new POP3 account and go to Mail > Add Account... The only option is to choose an iCloud account. There is none of the normal options like Exchange, Google, Yahoo, AOL, or Other.Â
How to they choose "Other" so they can add a POP3 account?Â
I have always used FireWire Target Disk Mode to transfer files between Macs. My old MacBook has FireWire 400 my new MacBook does not. How can I connect these 2 computers together directly to easily transfer files?Â
Maybe a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter on the new MacBook would do the job?

At transition, I initially want to keep my me.com/mac.com email and then (later) seamlessly move to Lion and full iCloud. Will this be possible and if so, can anyone see necessary tweaking to ensure that my retained me.com email will continue to forward or receive from external email accounts? Â

I currently have a master account. I have 5 email accounts with different names. How do I get all of the email accounts to move to iCloud?
Info:
iBook Dual USB - white case, Mac OS X (10.3.4)
Accessing the URL me.com/move is not possible- browser redirects me to Find My iPhone. When I attempt to enter my legacy MobileMe address in the iCloud System Preference panel, I am prevented because it is taken despite the fact it is assigned to me. Infinite Loop of frustration: being constantly redirected by support documents to a page that does not exist.My me.com email address is verified in my Apple ID settings page.
