I tried this solution ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/12981851#12981851 ) but it didn't seem to work.  The problem remains after the new installation.

Answer 1

I had the same exact problem with my brand new iMac -- same "Symbol not found: _kXPCOAssetVendorShouldRemoveRedEyesKey".  I had migrated from an older iMac that had iLife 11 installed from the iLIfe retail package, since it originally came with iLife '09).  I suspect that's the cause.
This is what I did and avoided an entire OS re-install:
Do a back up.
In Finder, drag iPhoto to the trash.  Empty the trash.   (Don't do it from the Stack view)
Insert the "Applications Install Disk" that came with your Mac.
"Install Bundled Applications"
Select "Customize" and uncheck everything but iTunes (or just do them all, probably can't hurt
CRITICAL: Now do a "Software Update..." from the Apple menu.  You should pick up an iTunes update
After that, iTunes opened up with no problems.
