I've searched and found no mention much less solution to my problem. I installed C5 and created a site in a local MAMP setup. I have since moved the whole shebang to a macmini OSX server platform that will be used as the live web server. Everything seemed fine but I couldn't edit any of the blocks that were aliased to my GLOBAL scrapbook. So I check the dashboard, view my Global scrapbook and lo and behold...IT'S EMPTY! I have no idea what happened or how to retrieve what is missing everything else seems fine (except pretty urls but that's another issue). Does anyone have an idea of what happened?
