iTines beta keeps crashing, any help please?

Downloaded 10.5 beta 7 to put iOS on my iPhone which worked fine. iTunes was working fine for a few days, but now I get this:

I've tired reinstalling it, repairing it etc, no avail.

Rename your iTunes folder and start up iTunes, it should create a new Library. That'll let you see if it's a Library problem.

If it's still acting up you'll have to tough it out until wednesday for the final release version of 10.5.

If I do that, don't I risk losing my sync data with my iPhone?

Backup (copy somewhere else):

/Users/?/Music/iTunes/
and
/Users/?/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup

Then rename the first one iTunes something else. This should preserve your iPhone backup. But if not - you have it saved elsewhere and just undo what you did

.

If this fixes the issue, you can just copy your music back into the new library.

Seemed to have fixed it, then as soon as I added new songs to the library and it tried to update Genius is binned out again. Think I will wait for the full release.
