The problem is your version of iTunes.  You need to use iTunes version 
9.02 which works fine, does not crash in VirtualBox.   iTunes was 
"broke" in 9.03 and higher and I guess Apple isn't inclined to fix it.  
Also, you need to use the PUEL verison of Virtual Box because the free 
OSE verision does not support USB connections.
