Hi Linc, I followed the instructions,
1. Opened Console
2. found, "All Messages"
re: View ▹ Show Log List - I don't have any option in my View menu to "Show Log List"
3. clicked "Clear Display" which resulted in an empty window.
until I reached: "Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with." -- this sentence doesn't say anything meaningful to me.
The sidebar gives me the following options:
1. System Log Queries: All Messages: (which is clear as per instructions)
2. Diagnostic and Usage Information/User Diagnostic Reports & System Diagnostic Reports: (neither of these have an Itunes headings)
3. Files:
a) system.log: this has a very long list of entries for Dec 9th - some of which relate to Itunes. I copied a sample from the approximate time the error showed up this morning.

all the other options in the Sidebar window don't seem relevant.
b) library /logs (this has a long list - no itunes)
c) library /logs / AppleFile ServiceError (but none of the dates are yesterday's, so I assume they're not relevant)
d) Diagnostic Reports (this has a long list - no itunes)
e)Event Monitor (this has a long list - no itunes)
f) PenComm (this has a long list - no itunes)
g)Xsan (this has a long list - no itunes)
h) var/log (this has a long list - no itunes)
thank you
