Oct 10, 2016 So far I have reset his password and re-input it under accounts, just in case it was a bug with it not accepting the password properly. I've been scouring the web searching for a fix for this and have yet to find anyone having the same issue. Security delete-keychain deletes an entire keychain. That's what my first comment was about: You usually do not want to delete the System keychain, including all its entries. You use this if you create your own keychains for specific uses.

When begin working on a new document in MS Word, I always save it to the desktop and then I choose where to file it at a later time. For some reason, in Lion I have had this thing happen to me on twho separate occasions: I save a Word document to the desktop and then I save the same document as a PDF to the desktop. However, when I close word and go to my desktop, the files are not there.
Accessing the desktop folder from Finder yields the same result. If I then reboot, I find the files on the desktop where I saved them after I log in. What causes this to happen? I am about to receive a replacement (late 2011) for my recently purchased (early 2011) MBP. I don't want to restore from Time Machine in case this bug relates to my profile, but if it's a known issue in Lion, I will restore out of convenience and because I am worried about being unable to reauthenticate some of my applications.
I've just noticed this strange problem also. Mac OS X 10.7.2 I have a number of files and folders on my desktop - suddenly this week they 'disappeared' i.e.
I can't see them on my desktop in the Finder, however if I open the Desktop folder in my home directory, they are still there. But they are not visible on my Finder desktop itself If I move or store some new file on my desktop in Finder, they remain visible on the desktop, as normal.
If I try to move a 'missing' file from my Desktop folder to the desktop in Finder, they don't move (as expected, because they're already 'there', just not visible) If I move one of the 'missing' files from the Desktop folder to my Home folder, then from there move it to the Finder's desktop, it shows up again in the Finder view. Earlier this week I moved all my missing files to my Home folder then back to the Desktop, however at some point they disappeared again (not sure when, but I believe after my Mac was rebooted at some point between then and now) Interestingly, a file I stored on the desktop AFTER I originally noticed the problem remained visible on the desktop even when the old files re-disappeared very strange. Re-launching the Finder does not fix the problem deleting the com.apple.desktop.plist file and rebooting does not fix the problem.
Files reappeared after launching the suspicious program Hi All, Upon running a program called Examsoft, which is a test-taking program for graduate schools and closes all applications, prevents access to the desktop, etc., my desktop files disappeared from the visible desktop (although still existed in the desktop folder). Rebooting my computer and relaunching the finder did nothing, nor did the files reappear when I tried clicking around the desktop. However, when I relaunched Examsoft and closed it again, the files reappeared. Just letting you know in case anyone is having this problem after running a similar program that messes with the plist. Cheers and good luck! I've just noticed this strange problem also. Mac OS X 10.7.2 I have a number of files and folders on my desktop - suddenly this week they 'disappeared' i.e.
