@miss c:
Try repairing permissions on your boot disk with 'Disk Utility'
Also, download the 10.4.6 Combo Update and re-apply that (don't download the smaller Delta update, the Combo is over 100mb big)

Thanks it is ok now not sure what happened there. I was also wondering i am not the best at working out how to use certain utilities etc etc and was wondering what things i should do whether it be on a day to day or weekly to weekly basis to keep it ticking over ok.
Obviously i should check for updates which i have set up to do daily but is there anything else i should do, to stop things from going wrong.
Danke!

If you leave your Mac on overnight it will automatically do all its housekeeping stuff in the middle of the night. If your Mac is asleep or shutdown at night, use
Onyx to run the housekeeping tasks a couple of times a month.

Ok something weird happened again, it was happily running and then i picked it up and looked in itunes and my whole playlist had disappeared (all music was still in the itunes music folder) and my internet bookmarks had disappeared completely.
Also certain items were not showing on the desktop even though they were there the only way to see them was to open desktop in finder and then manual drag them onto the desktop.
I went into the finder preferences and the tabs are all ticked for displaying everything on the desktop.
This is just plain weird i mean why would the music just dissappear and my boomarks?

@Missc:
Uh given the file name of what you download..
(all my lost episodes look like that too
) it'll either be xvid or divx. Doesn't hurt to have both installed anyhow
