Hi Søren,
First of all, you can make a backup of all your iTunes purchases,
including your apps, to DVD or CD. The option's on your menu bar in
File > Library > Back up to Disc. You probably don't want to back up
your whole library to disc, but I find it very convenient to just
write purchases to DVD every so often, since this also includes all
apps I have purchased. You have the option to back up your entire
library and playlists, just your iTunes purchases, or just items in
either category that were added since a previous back up.
I don't think you need to uninstall iTunes. At least, I would check
over some files first. Usually, there is only a specific item that is
causing iTunes to crash. What happens when you repair permissions?
The other thing to try after quitting iTunes is moving your
com.apple.iTunes.plist file to your Desktop or other location and
letting iTunes create another version. These are in your Library/
Preferences folder and Library/Preferences/By Host folder under your
account. If moving the preference files and deleting the copies in
your Library/Preferences and Library/Preferences/By Host folders
doesn't help when your restart iTunes, you can copy the originals
back. Deleting preferences won't lose you any apps or settings.
I'd also check for problematic recent download files.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther

If I wanna take a backup of my stuff in Itunes, do I then just have
to backup the Itunes" folder in the music folder? I also have a lot
of apps from my Iphone which I don't wanna miss. I could of course
just sync my phone again..."

Subject: Itunes won't start
Hi.
Suddently my Itunes has started to crash each time I try to start the
application. When i try to open it, I got the user notification
window,
where I can choose to send a report to Apple, ignore or open the
application
again. How do I fix this issue? Can I remove the preferences without
deleting all the music and stuff I have in my Itunes?
I really hope someone can help because I have to sync my Iphone
with Itunes
to accept a new provider...
Best regards
Søren Jensen
