Well did not know he was talking about on a Mac but it is still a good thing to backup iTunes just in case. I usually don't have to worry about backing up but do several backups. I use a online backup called carbonite.com and then I back up to a external device some sort. I fully believe in backing up, no matter what platform you use. But you did answer the question very good.

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.
