ITunes update 11.0.2 has broken my iTunes, won't even open

Question

I plugged in my iPhone to sync and recharge when the notification popped up that an update for iTunes was available.  When first attempting to downloaded the 11.0.2 iTunes update, it got to the end of downloading and then gave me an unspecific error message.  I shut everything down, restarted, and my second try at downloading the update worked.  Now upon attempting to open iTunes, however, nothing happens--just the old 'iTunes quit unexpectedly' and the prompt to submit an error report.  I read that there might be a problem with firewall, but my firewall is turned off.  I read that there might be a problem with McAfee anti-virus programs, but I don't have one.  Another suggestion was uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes though Terminal, which I did next.  Upon launching, same problem 'iTunes unexpected quit' and a prompt to send the error report.  In trying to sync, my iPhone now also doesn't work--seems to be locked trying to restore since iTunes has bugged out.  Help?
