Right now I am using the MBOX 2 to record my MPC on garage band. Every so often, when I shut down garage band or serato, my screen tints black and says i have to restart my computer by holding down the button. When I do this, I tunes is usually open because im transporting tracks to it from garage band.

one time, when i re opened Itunes, I got the popup progress box "importing itunes music library.xml". this was taking forever so i pressed stop and realized my entire library of music had disappeared. I then reloaded all of my music back into it, from my external hard drive and re made my play lists.

exactly a week later, the same exact problem happened after using garage band. now whenever I first launch iTunes (after rebooting the computer), I get the popup progress box "importing itunes music library.xml" which is followed by a message about the iTunes library being moved to a "iTunes Library (damaged)" message when complete. i eventually pressed stop again and my music disappeared.

i have no put my songs back into i tunes and began remaking playlists but id like to know what i can do to back up my playlists and why this problem is happening.

thanks for reading!:apple:
