I have recently made the change from Windows to Mac and love my new duo-core iMac 17", running OSx 10.4.6. All was going well until I started to use the 'FileVault' system. After setting it up, I moved all of my music, photos, movies and documents into it. I have full administrator rights.
Within finder, the 'Music' icon started to appeared twice in the left-hand column when viewing my HD contents. I deleted one of the icons and all was well...until I rebooted and it re-appeared. Today I dropped one of the icons into the trash-can and later emptied it. I have now found that all of my music has disappeared and cannot be found. I have tried several different searches, all to no avail. The hard-disk remaining space does not seem to have changed - suggesting that they ae still on there.
Any advice on how I could possibly recover these files would be very welcome, as would any ideas of why the double icon issue started in the first place.
