Ok, macs don't really get malware. unless specifically targeted for it. Macs are also very secure, and I really doubt you were hacked.
So question you locked your wallet, and then when you unlocked it crash, that means two things, one that your wallet was never unlocked. Which is the theory I am going with. I do think once you restored from a backup you should click new address and see if that address pops up. It also doesn't contain any fee so did you change your tx fee? I think this is just a freak thing and you have the address sitting your wallet. Unless did you run any java applications from the web, that is the only other way.
Also use -rescan, that will help a lot as well.

The problem is that the 1HeAK9siHVWYfWGBVBcGz13WUZkYs5aUGx address his coins were sent to already had 6.2 BTC from May 23. The OP said he only had 3 BTC to his name, so unless he forgot about an additional 6 BTC he purchased earlier then it doesn't look good for him.
And you should not use the old wallet any more.
Your mac computer must be infected by virus.
It does seem unlikely that you were hacked on a mac, but I can't explain it. If you get more coins you might try an offline storage solution: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbies-want-cold-offline-storage-for-your-bitcoins-heres-how-armory-235584
I wish I was more knowledgeable, but at this point I'm afraid I can't offer you any advice. It looks like you're SOL.
I'd recommend trying to recover any of your other wallets using a clean system. I wouldn't restore from your backup. Perhaps you could use a clean USB thumb drive and an linux boot disk if you don't have a spare machine.
In the future I'd only do btc work with a machine purely dedicated to BTC and nothing else. Also for any sites you use I would recommend against using passwords you've used elsewhere. Sorry you got burned.

I think It is hard to be hacked. may be you make a mistake
Maybe you restored the wrong wallet.dat?
No, it was the most recent backup, about 30 minutes prior, from my Time Capsule. Verified by the last modification date on the wallet.dat file.Random8

What do you mean that you wanted to make a new address to send to an exchange?
Sorry, my mistake. I meant to say that I wanted to make a new address to receive coins from an exchange. I was converting LTC to BTC. When I tried to create the new receive address, it asked me for the wallet password. I entered it, and that's when the hack occurred.Random8

And, is it just coincidence that the address starts with 1HeAK? Sounds like "Hack"?They were sent to: 1HeAK9siHVWYfWGBVBcGz13WUZkYs5aUGx

Seems like a user error, doubt you were hacked.
bongwater,That would seem like the most likely scenario, especially given that I'm a bitcoin (although not a computer) n00b. But, I've never even tried to send bitcoins, only received them. I have to make a correction to my original post -- I was trying to create a new RECEIVE key, in order to receive coins from an exchange. That's why I thought I was hacked.

What address were the coins sent to?
Did this totally clean out your wallet? I noticed 0.01 BTC left on 1Gi9WcK7gVufFf3eZ5jjK6nWRbPRcigLtH in this transaction. Strange they did not totally clean you out.
Yes, they kindly left 0.01 BTC in my wallet.Random8
