Q: system appropriate folders & configuration

In the system library I found SUDO, SAMBA, a Mobile-me account I couldn't access (I actually never had one) due to password demand.  In the Syst Lib core services I even found 2 finders (one visible the other is apparently unreachable; server scannaer, server agent, and a lot of  executable files.  In the HD library I found 2 Internet plug-ins  and a Java folder with a folder link to Home and one called shared bundle full of links and again another libraries folder (?? ) and JavaVM - I find it all strange; not to say that in my HD I have a suspicious folder called "lost+found, a usr (invisible) with X11 and another bin, full of executables and a tmp folder full od .DM executables and other folders with bizarre names.

I'm lost. And to up it all, I have sometimes my configuration changed. Every time I try to upload from the apple in the bar, I get the same removable Flashback-update, that I never succeed in installing.

How can I get to know the appropriate system folders & the system configuration of a Leopard 5.8 Buil9831a?

    Thank you Neville Hillyer!MadMac0 had already told me abt CCC, but I hesitated. It took me a while to learn it all; but I succeeded in re-installing only what I wanted. The only problem I have is with the ITunes. It's NOT working at all. I asked to import the whole folder (as I did with images and movies); but when I tried to open iTunes, it got the window-msg :

     

             <  the files "iTunes Library.itl " cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. >

     

    I can't understand it, because I only started docs importation after updating the iMac and verifying it was 5.8. I'm sure it's better updated than it was before when I couldn't updated properly. I went to  toolbar>apple>Sofwareupdate - everth was correctly updated. Shouldn't it include iTunes?  Why then, am I getting this msg?  And the solutions?
