Q: 10.9.1 deleted external hard drive - warning
A friend just updated to 10.9.1, rebooted and has now lost his entire iTunes folder that was located on an external 4TB Seagate drive. All data in the iTunes folder seems to have disappeared - bizarrely the iTunes folder itself is still there, one other folder on the drive has been emptied and one is still intact, which is hard to figure out.
The drive had been reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) months ago when the drive was purchased and installed (in case that's of any relevance).
The drive checks out fine in Disk Utility.... I've checked in the Trash to see if they've somehow been deleted in the update process but to no avail.
Any thoughts/feedback/suggestions would be great as this is a pretty massive loss...
