iTunes 11 Won't Launch on 10.6.8 (crash report)

I just created a Guest account and iTunes will, in fact, open with that guest account.

How do i proceed to troubleshoot the issue with my User Account?

Any thoughts on this? I'm still having this issue and need to be able to open iTunes in my USER account.

It opens fine in my GUEST account but won't open in my USER account.

Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, iTunes won't open when I attempt to rebuild the library (hold OPTION while opening iTunes).

I'm going to try and download and reinstall the 10.6.8 combo updater again...just grasping at straws.

I have noticed in my crash reporter, there is a call to ABORT + 93 in my libsystem.B.dylib

I have deleted all pref files in relation to iTunes.

I have noticed in my crash reporter, there is a call to ABORT + 93 in my libsystem.B.dylib

Since essentially there is no iTunes library in my USER folder (I moved it out of that folder to see if it was an iTunes library issue) and iTunes continues to crash, I'm lead to believe its an issue with the above ABORT command found in my crash report and/or another issue.

I think i have (been trying to fix this issue for a few months) but I will search for this version of iTunes and download it again and reinstall.

I just reinstalled iTunes 11.4. I attempted to open and it just bounced in the dock and then crashed.

Here is the Crash Report...

ANY help is appreciated.

I have. Still the same result.

I have since tried:

•reinstalling iTunes 11.4

•installing the 10.6.8 Combo Update

No fixes yet.

I have tried the OPTION + start method but iTunes won't open that way either.

I have since pulled the drive and installed a new OS on another drive and once thats done installing I will put that drive in the computer and just work with that until I can get to the bottom of the issue.

Still perplexing to me.

Albeit, the computer wouldn't startup at all after I did some searching and deleting of files. I'm afraid I may have accidentally trashed a CARBON CORE file in my frameworks ... which could be causing the computer to not be able to startup?

At any rate, I'm going to install this new drive and see if it works.

I did do a scan of all the files on this OS drive (the one with the faulty iTunes) and no errors were reported so I'm still confused as to what the issue could be.
