When I open iTunes, i immediately quit iTunes, it never quits, becomes unresponsive.
I can also open iTunes, not quit it, and just play a song, but after the song or shortly after opening I get the same results.
I can open a new fresh library, same results.
I have deleted my preferences, removed my library, tried all sorts of tips and solutions from the forum, but none work. I am pretty sure one of the frameworks is bad or missing or corrupted?¿? If i open iTunes this is what my console log spits out.

Hi Zurie,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like iTunes is becoming unresponsive at launch or after playing a few songs. You've tried several good steps to troubleshoot the situation.
If you haven't already, I'd recommend reinstalling iTunes next:
download iTunes from the Apple website.
If iTunes is still unresponsive after this, test in a new user account to see if the same thing happens. If it occurs in a new user, try Safe Mode next:
Follow this article to start up in Safe Mode. If the issue does not occur in Safe Mode, there may be login items or third party kernel extensions causing the issue.
The information quoted above appears in this troubleshooting article:
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

I cannot quit itunes. I cannot end task. It won't go away

Short of restarting my PC, Itunes will not go away. Close it and it is back in 5 seconds, Same with "end task". i can only minimize it to task bar, but it is still utilizing a huge amount of memory. I cannot restore from the task bar. I have to restart the app. I have tried all the tricks online. I reinstalled itunes all together.
Windows 7
Itunes 10.2.1.1

Hello, I am quite new on these forums, and mainy joined because have problems with latest update of iTunes, which seems to have caused problems of one kind or another for various people. I think basically people are now waiting for a 'patch' from Apple to fix things.

Multiple Issues with iTunes on New iMac

Hello Apple Community,
I recently bought a 27" iMac with 3.1Ghz i5 processor running on Snow Leopard and finally set it up. I have owned many Macs in the past and currently have been using a 5 year old 15" MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard that has been running flawlessly but I needed something with a bit more processing power. When I first took my iMac out of the box I went ahead and used the Migration Assistant to move my applications and files over from my MacBook Pro but after multiple attempts I had to stop and simply move the music, document, and photo data on to a portable hard drive while I got the Migration Assistant to move the applications. I simply moved the old iTunes music folder over to my new iMac and replaced the iTunes folder on my iMac. The new iMac has already been authorized through my iTunes account and the music will play. Now here are my current issues.
When I play a song on iTunes, there appears to be a random amount of fade-in and/or crossfade when I switch playing songs. I have checked the playback preferences and crossfade is not checked. Some songs the crossfade will take a second while sometimes it will be as much as 10 seconds of crossfade. On my MacBook with the identical library and settings, it does not have these issues.
The other issue I have been experiencing is if iTunes has been open and my computer sits for a little while (usually after awaking from sleep or even listening to a few songs without touching the keyboard, the songs will stop playing on their own and when I press the play button, it begins to "play" the track but there is no sound coming from iTunes. I have checked the volume slider in iTunes and it is still at max volume while all other applications still work and output sound. iTunes will only work properly if I close it and re-open it.
The final issue is similar to the last one in that when I try and play previews in the iTunes Music store it will not play but when I hit the play button iTunes will then appear to be "playing" but no sound from either the store or any of my songs from the Library.
iTunes works perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro and it does have any of these issues. Both Macs are currently running iTunes 10.4.1. All songs in each library are checked and will play to a degree.
I have deleted iTunes and all corresponding library files, (basically anything with iTunes in the name) and tried to reinstall iTunes and used multiple methods to replace the music files including using Home Sharing, a portable Hard Drive, and dragging and dropping the music files from the shared folder and no matter what I try, I still cannot get iTunes on my iMac to work properly. I have been searching around the support forums for others who might have had this issue but I cannot seem to find much. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had not tried that before, but from your suggestion, I went ahead and did it and it seems to have gotten rid of the crossfade issues I was experiencing but whenever I try and listen to a preview in the iTunes music store it still does not appear to be working. Also, I was testing a number of tracks and it seems like there are a few tracks in particular that will make iTunes stop playing when I click on them and then if I attempt to play something else, iTunes says it is playing but no sound is coming from it.
What I have found that is interesting is the first time I ran the Disk Utility it repaired a HUGE number of misc. files. After running it and still experiencing problems I tried to run it again but this time the files were not as numerous and were all within the /Library/CoreServices menu. Each subsequent time I ran the Disk Utility and rebooted, I tried to run the Disk Utility again and the same files seem to still be having the same issues. This is just an example of one of the files I have been having an issue with.
Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" , should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x .
Repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" .
One in particular gave me a Warning and said it could not be repaired. I'm not sure if it is important to repair but I still seem to be having some issues here and there. Here is the message from the Disk Utility regarding the file in question.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar. Hovering didn't do it. Thanks for your help. First time in Apple Support.

Are you downloading iTunes form an Apple website or somewhere else? If the answer is somewhere else, try downloading it from Apple. Click on iTunes in the black menu bar above and go from there.
Let us know what happens.

Tracks I have in iTunes on my iMac cannot be played on my iPhone.

There are tracks in iTunes on my iMac, that have been copied from my wife's and or son's iTunes account via Homesharing, that are still showing on my iPhone but cannot be played or sync'd. This has only recently started to happen. It is on affecting my iPhone, not a problem on my iPad. It is a simialer issue now with my wife's iPhone. Any ideas why would be appreciated.

Cannot close iTunes by any method, Force Quit or otherwise.

Once opened, I cannot close iTunes without forcing a shutdown. "Quit iTunes", "Force Quit", etc. program immediately reopens and prevents a "Restart".

Well, it's hard to know why it's choking in the first place. So, the first two things I would try are:
Delete these files in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
Delete this folder in the /Home/Library/Caches/ folder:
com.apple.iTunes
If your /Home/Library/ folder is not visible then do this:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
Restart your computer then see if the iTunes problem is fixed.

Hello, do you mean the files end up on the PC side, or the notifications?
On the Mac side try this...
