I back up my computer files whenever I think of it (about every two weeks). On Saturday night I was working in Photoshop when I tryed to quit the program, it didn't respond. So I shut down the computer. When I re-started the screen was white with a file and a blinking question mark. Naturally I re-started it again (that would fix it). Same white screen with blinking question mark. I called Apple but they were gone for the night. The next morning the Apple technicians response to my sistuation was OHHHHHH! that's not good...do you back up? I do ... but I haven't in a couple weeks.... He said, well that's the good news. Most likely all my files are lost!!!!
The computer is just over a year old. I love my computer! The next three weeks are going to be awful! Yes, three weeks!
Apple has been great about the whole thing.... Thank You Apple for being straight forward and helpful.
Please, please, please learn from my horror.... back up your files daily. I wouldn't want you to suffer this tragic mishap when it is so easy to be sure your creative works are safe on an external hard drive.
Scary! Are you still having problems with your PC, or you already bought a new one? Good thing I always back up my files. That's one of the safety measures I do regularly in case something goes wrong with my PC. =)
