Missing folder on iMacPrilo

Hi sonnika,

I see that a folder has disappeared.

• Does opening Mission Control (Application > Mission Control) reveal anything?
• Is the window minimized?
• Try clicking on the Finder icon, then control clicking, and see if the folder is listed on the control click.
• Click on the Apple Menu in the top left > Recent Items > See if the folder is there.
• If these fail, do you have iCloud Desktop and Documents on, or a Time Machine Backup? If you do, you can attempt to restore the folder?

Let us know the results!

Cheers,

Jack

A. Any other Folders?

If there are any other folders, then see if you dragged them into that folder.

B. Use Spotlight Search:

[Hold Down: command + spacebar] and type the name of the folder into it.

Try Relaunching Finder:

1. Go to: Apple menu
2. Select: Force Quit...
3. Select: Finder
4. Click: Relaunch button
5. Click: Relaunch button

"Missing folder on iMacPrilo: Why force quit? I can easily shutdown the computer."

Because Force Quit... allows you to Relaunch the Desktop, which is no more than refreshing it. So, try relaunching Finder, seeing if the folder pops up.
