Hello there,
Each time when I log on my account, my computer tells me that iTuneshelper quit unexpectedly.
I googled a bit and tried something out, removed the com.apple.itunes.things,
but nothing works. When I click report on the error, I get this:

You could just disable ituneshelper in your System Prefereces > Accounts > Login Items. If you do that, iTunes will not auto-launch when you plug in your iPod/iPhone, but nothing else is affected AFAIK.

Or, try this from http://www.mac-help.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11047. Be sure to quit iTunes before taking these steps.

I just installed the new version of Itunes and got the same message that Itunes helper unexpectedly quits.

This is what I did and it worked.

In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/ and click Go.
Locate the iTunes folder and then drag it to the Trash.
Choose Go > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/Preferences/ and click Go.
Locate the preference files that have names beginning with com.apple.iTunes and move them to the Trash.
File Names should be:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist​

Reboot after these steps and see if things clear up.
