My girlfriend's Macbook Pro (10.7) is having a problem. She had stored folders full of pictures on her desktop. The images are now missing from these folders. The folders remain but seemingly linked to the issue, there are now several "?"s at the top bar of each of the folder windows. Inspecting the properties of the folders, I find that the size is mere kilobytes. Not a good sign.
I have also noticed that "Macintosh HD", if you click on it, displays a solid "?" on top of it. Clicking appears to have no effect. I only have the option to remove it from the dock.
I have taken this image from the internet. But this illustrates what I'm talking about. Each folder on the desktop remains just as it had before and several of these question marks are lined up across the bar. The Macintosh HD with "?" looks like the HDD icon with one of these icons over it.
Most have my googling has sent me to people talking about the folder with blinking question mark. This is not my issue.
Does anyone have any insight?
