Hello,
I did something stupid and didn't realize it at the time. So you know how you open your finder window and you have the various names on the left. Well normally you have a users section and mine is my sisters name. So everytime I upload a photo to someone it says users/sister'sname/etc. I wanted to change that and so clicked on her user name in the finder window and clicked Get Info and just changed the name where it says Names and Extensions.
All of the sudden applications were opening like the first time and I panicked when Firefox started like I never installed it before asking if I wanted to import bookmarks. I restarted the computer and the default desktop comes on with basic stuff and all my custom things are gone. I typed in my user name and password like I always do. When I open the documents only one thing is there and I had like 50 things, my pictures folder is empty and I had all kinds of custom photos.
Also the user name is back to my sisters name in the finder window.
Am I doomed and have to install stuff from scratch or can I get my old setup back?
I know I should have a backup but have no external hard drive but need to get one.
