Greetings Mac Family, I have an iMac 20in G5 PPC w/ 2GBRAM/250HD 10.4.6
Recent events: Burning Purchased ripped DVD's and deleting the TS_Video folders afterwards using Secure Empty Trash; Installed Tiger Cache Cleaner, macromedia flash 8;
Incident: Mon-night was downloading using Limewire some homegrown vid clips (.asf and .avi)
attempted to open files and started getting the crash window "The application "QT" quit unexpectedly after it was opened MacOSX and other apps aren't affected Click try again to temporarily restore to default settings, or retry to open or report to send details to apple.
Apps affected: Quick Time 7, Itunes (my music directory is now missing some serious gigs of music, lets say 20GB to be easy; since my ipod was connected, it zapped the ipod as well except for podcast and music videos), DivX 6.5 for macs, Real Player, Tiger Cache Cleaner and even safari/firefox when I attempted to go to apple.com to download new Itunes/Quicktime but I think a lot of this revolves around QT b/c when my work laptop goes to the same website yesterday apple was running the mac vs pc commercial using QT plugin.. I initially thought some Wack job Windows guy was getting back at macs and I was one of the first hit, but now I almost think its a tiger cache cleaner and deleting some important directories/libraries even and I don't know how to fix it.
I have run disk utility and it repaired some permissions on the harddrive, restarted, turned off and on, used my baby mama's account to no avail. Also, I'm even having issues connecting my usb jump drive of 1GB which I downloaed QT/Itunes to from work laptop IBM-T43 its not recognizing it and the jump drive lights up green as if power is getting to it.
Where are the actual run files kept that the icons in Finders' applications folder run from? could I have deleted some important libraries??
I'm open to someone contacting me personally if need and walking me through some things.
Family, I'd appreciate if yall would look out for me and help me out here, I feel naked with out my Mac man!!!
