iTunes 11.0.3 crashing almost daily

Hi,

Since updating to iTunes 11.0.3 via the Mac App Store recently, it has been crashing on an almost daily basis. I leave it open in the background all the time but I will often return to the computer after leaving it unoccupied for several hours that iTunes has closed with one of those massive error dialogs visible on the screen.


I have pasted the contents of the latest dialog here: http://pastebin.com/LxbnawbR


I am running a 2007 iMac with OS 10.8.3 and every other app on my system is up to date too. I use Home Sharing to a fully updated Apple TV 3rd gen but I mostly use this for Netflix and haven't watched anything off my home library for a while.


Anyone got any thoughts?

Getting the same problem. Find issue is worst when browing by artist. Certain artists crash iTunes every time but you can still listen to the music if you browse another way (by song or by album). Also found iTunes Store to be terrible. Takes ages to load pages, streaming stalls and then reverts to previous song sample that was listened to, and download times painfully slow. Like others looks like I'll just need to wait for next update.

I updated a few days ago and the new itunes must have a major bug because my iMac has never crashed before until this update. In fact the crash has been so bad Ive had to reinstall the original operating system then snow leopard. Luckily all my photos and music were on a separate drive. However after reinstalling OSX and then the new itunes it crashed again so badly that I couldnt do anything apart from boot from disk. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ITUNES 11.0.3 its seriously flawed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And what are Apple doing?

I have been having the same issue. I upgraded to 11.0.3 earlier in the week and iTunes is crashing daily. I thought perhaps my library had been corrupted, so I followed the instruction in this support article to re-create the library from the XML file:

It had no effect. The next morning iTunes had crashed again.


I hope this is fixed soon, we live on AppleTV. I have not found a site that has 11.0.2 that I would feel safe to download from. Perhaps the time machine backup is my only choice.
