And Mac Mini. It's crazy that Apple still sells you Core 2.

The problem is rampant on 11" models too (according to a google search). Where's that update??

Phew. This has been driving me crazy. Haven't been listening to music for over a week because I always had to force-shutdown every time iTunes booted.

Can someone dissect this update and find out which file (can't be more than one) that has changed?

I don't have this problem on my late 2010 13" MBA, but I have another problem: when listening radio with iTunes and internet disconnects, iTunes freezes. I know it's off topic, but it drives me crazy. Looks like iTunes is unable to re-buffer the stream...
