Have you uninstalled iTunes completely? Have you deleted your library and recreated it? Have you checked the physical disk surface?– user3463Commented Nov 17, 2010 at 18:18

Hi Randolph, as I said, I've had this problem for many versions of iTunes and OS X. I've always done clean installs, so essentially, yes to your first question. As for re-creating my library, I have done so from Time Machine backups, but I can't feasibly re-create it from scratch. Disk surface is fine.– msanfordCommented Nov 17, 2010 at 19:06

Also, when I do clean installs, I never restore podcasts or iTunes U media from backups: I re-download them anew.– msanfordCommented Nov 17, 2010 at 19:10

2Have you tried using Spin Control (an Apple Developer Tool)? This may help identify the failure if you start it up, than cause your failure with iTunes.– EverettCommented Nov 17, 2010 at 20:51

1SpinControl crashes when I try to view the logs. What a disaster... Great suggestion though.– msanfordCommented Nov 30, 2010 at 21:40

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
