Hello,

I'm currently having a problem where iTunes crashes upon clicking any one of the buttons presented in the license agreement window that opens when iTunes first starts. The problem originated a few days ago when iTunes would crash whenever I clicked on anything. I reinstalled it by trashing iTunes and every associated file - including all the plists. However, after two reinstalls, the problem persists, and now I can't even get past the license agreement. Whenever I click on any of the buttons, (Agree/Decline/Save/Copy) I get the standard dialogue, "iTunes quit unexpectedly" , along with the following error log:

I've tried completely obliterating iTunes from my system and reinstalling, I've repaired permissions, deleted plugins (including Flip4Mac), cleared caches, and rotated and cleared logs. Nothing seems to work, and the problem occurs on every user account, whether it's administrative or standard.

It'd be great if someone could make a suggestion as to what I can do, as I currently can't access my iTunes account or backup my iPod.

Thanks in advance,
Marko
