iTunes 10.6 crashing after upgrade

I just upgraded iTunes to 10.6, but it crashes everytime I open it.


I'm under Snow Leopard (10.6.8).


Thanks in advance for any suggestion or solution.

Just out of interest does everyone with the problem have itunes match? I had the spinning wheel of terror so tried opening itunes in safe mode and it worked. I turned off itunes match and opened itunes in std mode and everything was fine. Not sure if this will work for anyone else but thought I would share it. I am on Lion 10.7.3 with Itunes 10.6.

I found one itunes script- something to do with quartz composer vizualizer? Not sure what this is, perhaps something to do with the Sing that itunes widget i had? Have deleted both the script and the widget. It's working for now but I don't know if it will continue to work as it's done this before, or if deleting the script has made a difference.

First you need to get rid of the 10.6 version. If you try to trash it, or write over it, you will get a message saying that it can't be modified as it is needed by the OS. Select the app and 'Get Info'. In the permissions, change them all to read&write (you will need to type in an admin password).

Now trash the app. Enter TimeMachine, go to a backup from before iTunes was upgraded and restore. You will also need to restore some files from your iTunes folder (in your Music Folder), not the folders.
