Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My iTunes has been stuck on "Checking iTunes Library" for quite a long time. After a while, the message freezes, and I am forced to quit iTunes.

My iTunes has been stuck on "Checking iTunes Library" for quite a long time. After a while, the message freezes, and I am forced to quit iTunes. There is no way I can possibly view iTunes, since the application never responds. iTunes won't even pop up in the Menu Bar either. There is no way I can even access the title "Itunes" except by clicking the little icon in the toolbar, which doesn't get me anywhere. I believe my problem may be sprouting from some hung tracks in Itunes Match. I've read posts on how to delete these hung tracks, but I can't delete them since I can't access Itunes/it's settings in any way. Does anybody here know what to do? This is unbelievably frustrating. Also, does anybody think that this is caused by a computer virus???
