Can Anyone Here Read a Crash Log?

I am having major iTunes trouble after installing the 1.2.6 iPod update. This is what I get when I try to launch iTunes. If you can make any sense of this I would love to hear it. Thanks.

hmmm

Sorry to be of no help, but I wanted to mention this:
Unix logs everything, they said. So whatever happens to your machine, and by whom it's documented right there in your /var/log.
No more weird "Error of type 2 occured, you must restart.. and so on" messages, they said.
No Winbloze Blue Screens of death, they said.
Nope, but I have, as you, seen these error logs and have tried to figure out what they mean. And they express the same errors as those Blue Screen of Death messages do. Some kind of failure reading or writing to or from memory. Right.
So what do we do? Yep, same as in OS 9. Delete the prefs, (OK, ~/library/Prefernces/ instead of System Folderrefernces), try reinstalling, and so on.
Anyway, good luck!
Edit: Just curious... you have tried repairing disk permissions?

hey, yeah i fixed the permissions a million times with no luck. the app (iTunes) never launched again. i wound up having to do a Software Restore and lost alot of data(I always forget to backup something in the confusion. no one at apple could even help me out. it happened from the 1.2.6 iPod updater so i went back to 1.2.1 and i'm staying there. it's a bummer but i luckily got my Jaguar disks back and was able to install Jag again. It was actually quite a nice change being in OS 9 for a week. really fast. but we all must move on i suppose.

This is not scientific or anything, but what I have noticed from extensive tech work is that usually when you get a whole bunch of numbers liike that in the backtrace without the mention of a file or service, it usually turns out to be hardware. This is not always the case, but seems to be more than 1/2 the time.

What I would just assume from your problem is that there is just something wrong with the software on your iPod. Try reinstalling the iPod update first.
