Crash furing Garageband3 Export to iTunes

Question

I wanted to export a track to itunes from GB3. My itunes resides on external drive. When given the command to do so, GB3 displayed itunes as if it had never run. It cleared my whole list. (The files survived.) I then copied them to the "new " itunes, reset all preferences and smartlists and thought I was fine. But the next time I restarted my imac, all user preferences were lost. It was as if I had turned on the machine for the first time. itunes library (again), Address Book, bookmarks, my Pictures file wont open (says "volume cannot be found"), and worst of all 3 GB3 songs are gone completly. Somehow Home documents were saved. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to ever turning my computer off ever again. Is there a way to retrieve my GB3 tracks? How do I get my Picture file found? Can I reverse Sync with .mac to save Address Book and Bookmarks even though they were not officially backed up but still show up on the .mac site. Can I ever restart my computer again?
Please help!

Answer 1

So to answer my own question:
in Eyetv preferences I was creating a folder to record into with the same path as
set destFolder to "MyHDD:Users:entertain:Movies:EyeTVEncoded:"
then EyeTV would create a subfolder in that folder /Users/entertain/Movies/EyeTVEncoded to record into called "EyeTV Archive"
Then in the script I had it set to delete all contents of /Users/entertain/Movies/EyeTVEncoded:
tell application "Finder"
try
delete (every item of folder destFolder)
empty the trash
end try
which caused EyeTV to crash. Because after setting the preferences for the 1st time and recording, overhight the script would delete the destination folder for the recordings.
The solution?
Leave the script as is, and change the recording location to: /Users/entertain/Movies/
   Solved.
