Hey gang, here's the skinny: 13" Macbook, OSX 10.8.5, using faithfully since purchased in '09. Recently, seemingly overnight, it began acting rather wacky. iTunes won't open due to a 14013 error. GarageBand will open but won't function thanks to a constant midi driver error popping up. Firefox seems to have lost it's back button. Also, I can't drag, drop, copy, or paste
I'm guessing this complication is a result of file sharing and have pretty much come to terms with the fact that I'm probably going to have to reformat. Before I begin that process, I want to make sure I back up my iTunes library and my GarageBand library (the only things I can't really live without.) However, this is difficult considering I can't drag, drop, copy, or paste. From what I understand, it's still possible to move files using Terminal, but I've absolutely no experience with Terminal. I did my best Google Fu and spent a few hours trying to move the folders with the mv command, but I feel like a monkey on a typewriter. If someone could please explain this process to me like I'm 5 years old, I would be very grateful! I just can't stand the thought of losing the music I've collected and composed over the past few years. Any and all help is appreciated!
