Electrum LTC SCARE on MAC

[silversurfer7]

Hi All,

my mac updated last night and for some reason when I tried to sign into electrum wallet LTC it kept telling me incorrect password.....over and over.
THANKFULLY I wrote down my seed like a good holder and was able to restore the wallet. I still have the following questions:
HOW??? Was it a glitch because of the update?
- Would the saved file I have as backup do any good if I didn't have the seed? Would the seed do any good if I did not have the "Saved file" backed up and ready to use to load up the wallet?

ALSO, on my mac I looked for the file that my wallet name is supposed to be stored under....I followed the instructions by typing something like ~/.electrum and it did NOTHING.
This wallet makes me nervous and I think I'm going to not use it anymore unless I can gain some understanding.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance

Seed is the only thing you need to recover all your private keys (have access to your funds).

you can also make a back up of your wallet file as a secondary backup option and also if you want your "Labels" and "Descriptions" to stay with your wallet. although you can export those separately too!

as for wallet location i don't know how Mac works! did you follow this: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-my-wallet-file-located
also you can go to file > open (inside electrum itself) to see where the wallet files are located.
