X errors: Freezes requiring reboot, or fails to start

Hello,
I just recently ran the update that switched everything over to /usr/lib, but I'm not sure if that's the root of this problem.  I've seen other people have had a similar issue, but the posts I found dated back to 2009... anyways, I have an ATI card (it's a laptop), and I'm using the xf86-video-ati package.  Prior to the switch, I was using the catalyst driver, but it gave me errors when I ran the update (it wouldn't load the fglrx driver), so I thought I would switch back to the opensource driver. 
Since then, I've been unable to get X to start properly.  At first, it would start the server and switch to it, but it would be frozen.  Occasionally it would display a mouse cursor, but this would either be unusable, or it would move extremely choppily.  I've gotten a gamut of errors, the latest being some sort of segfault, but earlier they were about the event queue... something.  Being over loaded?  I'm not sure, sorry, I didn't save the logs.  I'm not sure how to post a log right now, as I'm using links to write this... if you can give instruction on how to do that, I can post a log, though there have been cases where I've attempted to start X, and the system freezes, and no log is written (sometimes when it freezes, it still writes a log, so I'm not sure how to be helpful). 
I've been sure to comment out the line in pacman.conf that kept X from being the latest version (required by catalyst), as I know that was giving me some issues early on, but I don't know what else to try. 
Thank you for your help,
tredontho

Xorg log? Have you tried fixing the error reported in your .xinitrc? Removing Slim?

    Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    So how do I get my ITunes back? 

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    I am unable to download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting Services.")

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

    When trying to launch ITunes I get an error message saying that application fail to start because MSVCR80.dll file not found. Reinstalling app may fix problem.

    I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
    I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376   it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time!
    Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
    Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
    Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot again!
    Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
    Reboot!
    Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
