According to many posts at Apple’s discussion forum, a major bug is loose in their newest operating system, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. The bug is quite serious, because it deletes all user data and you have no opportunity to restore the data if you haven’t backed up your files in Time Machine or similar.
The bug is reported by several users and it appears only if you have upgraded from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard AND had a guest account that you haven’t deleted before upgrading or after. If you have upgraded from Leopard and still have a guest account, then DO NOT access it and change back to your user account, because this activates the bug that will erase all of your data in the user directory.
It’s recommended to deactivate the guest account for a while until the bug has been fixed in a software update. If you still wants a guest account, then create an account with limited permission.
No official announcement from Apple has been posted on this bug, that appeared the first time on Apple’s discussion forums just few days after the release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Today, the Apple developer community received another Mac OS 10.6.2 build (10C519f), which addresses major issues such as Core Data, video corruption and a problem which caused System Preferences to freeze.
The optical drive issue noted in the first Mac OS X Snow Leopard build (10C514f) however, does not yet seem to have been fixed. We therefore still advise developers and users to consider this, before they update to the latest build of Mac OS 10.6.2 and start testing it. We expect another build to be seeded soon, as there are still major issues left to be addressed.
