Q: iTunes 12.1.1.4 Keeps Crashing 30-45 seconds after launching

Have had this issue repeatedly since installing updates. Have also had issues with AirPlay on AppleTV's. I finally got Airplay working again after much troubleshooting and reinstalling all things Apple yesterday. iTunes worked most of the day yesterday without issue. Woke up this morning and now I'm back this annoyance where iTunes crashes approx. 30-45 seconds after launching it.
