I closed the lid of my MacBook, and it made the sound of the computer when it turns on and then I opened it and it took me to the login screen. Now when I open the Apple programs, it's like I'm opening them for the first time. My iTunes library is gone, my pictures are gone, my bookmarks from Firefox and Safari are gone. Anyone have any idea what happened? Or how I can fix it?

I only have 1 login.

Did you try and change the name of your home folder? It's the name next to the little house icon in the finder window on the left side. I accidentally did that once. Open the finder window, and highlight your hard drive icon, then click on the users folder. If you did in fact mess with your name, your original name will be in the users folder as a folder itself. Try that. If that is the case, restart your computer and log back in. This should reset your home folder name to the original name. Then go back to the users folder and open the folder I told you about. That will have all your stuff in there. All you have to do is move everything back to where it originally came from. Hope this helps. I know it's a lot to take in.

Do you have more than one login ident? You might have signed into a default one that you haven't used before. Restart the computer and try again - your computer shouldn't have just "reset". You can't do that without initialising the hard disk and reinstalling the system software!

Too many variables.
Call Apple tech support.
