Hi Søren,

First of all, if the crashing started when you updated to iTunes 9.1 (the latest version), then this could be related to your navigation settings under VoiceOver Utility (VO-F8) if you have mouse cursor follows VoiceOver cursor checked. If you're experiencing crashing and you were last set to the iTunes Store in your sources table, it could be due to a connection problem with the iTunes Store being down. Another way to check whether this is a local settings problem that might be a problem with your account setup and preferences rather than with the iTunes app is to start up iTunes in minimal form under a test account. If it doesn't crash, then there's either a problem file in your iTunes library or a problem preferences setting.

In any case, you don't have to worry about losing any of your purchases. If worst came to worst, simply adding the contents of your Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications folder to even a completely new iTunes library with the Command-O "Add to Library" shortcut would restore the applications. Your backups (with information about favorites in apps, contacts, etc.) are stored in you account under:
Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

So it's certainly possible to recover everything. Incidentally, I know that it is common under Windows to have to re-install applications and iTunes, but I've never had to reinstall iTunes, and I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of applications that I've had to re-install on a Mac. In those two instances, it was because the updated package installation changed to a completely different format that I wasn't confident would simply "update".

Also, if you have Time Machine running, most of this will be backed up already. Let us know if you need more help.

Best,

Esther

hi, uninstall it and reinstall it. if not on your main pc make sure you deauthorize it and then reauthorize it when you get it reinstall. I also
would backup any apps and songs you have bought thru iTunes.

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
