iTunes freezing after latest update 10.6.3

Yesterday, iTunes installed an update to 10.6.3, and since then freezes less than a minute after launch. The beachball just spins and iTunes is completely unresponsive. It is usually downloading a new podcast at the time, but that is simply because that's the first thing iTunes does if I'm not syncing.


I tried restarting.

I tried restarting in Safe Mode.

I tried restarting without anything connected to any ports.

I tried uninstalling iTunes, restarting, installing a new download from apple website, and restarting again.


I'm not sure what to do next....


Everything was working fine up the the moment the upgrade finished.


I'm running a fairly new Macbook Air running OSX 10.7.4 with all software updated.


Thanks for any help!

MacBook Air (13-INCH, MID 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Hi,

I'm having similar issues. When open iTunes, I now wait a couple minute before trying to sync iPad or iPod, or add or delete files.


iTunes appears to doing something in the background and usually lasts 2 or 3 minutes. This background active occurs when I have updated iTunes match, the deleting files I want to replace with the matched version.


This very annoying as it stops downloads until background work finished. There are also memory issues.


Has only happened since last update.


Jim
