A Snow Leopard can eat your files!
It is not any Snow Leopard that can do it. :P
Apple ‘s latest version of Mac OS X brought amongst many new and amazing features a new and extremely harmful bug. The bug is complete loss of all data in user’s home directory. For the bug to occur a user must log in as guest and then log out and log in as normal user.
Many users have been reporting the bug since September, but only yesterday Apple acknowledged it.
We are aware of the issue, which occurs only in extremely rare cases, and we are working on a fix.
The only solution currently available is if you have Time Machine enabled, via witch you can restore your files, otherwise, good bye my precious data.
Unfortunately this appears to be only one of the many annoying bugs that have been introduced to Snow Leopard. Let ‘s hope that most of the issues will be fixed in the next updates.
