This is what I get in the term when trying to open itunes(intel version) through the term.

 

silas@zipto:~$ /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes; exit

iTunes(511,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=4294942720) failed (error code=3)

iTunes(511,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region

iTunes(511,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug

logout

 

so right now it looks like it can't "Allocate a region of virtual memory." that taken from http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.3/xn...m_allocate.html

 

after debuging itunes via this

 

gdb -q iTunes

Reading symbols for shared libraries ....................... done

(gdb) break ptrace

Breakpoint 1 at 0x90046420

(gdb) run

Starting program: /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes

Reading symbols for shared libraries .............................................................................+ done

 

Breakpoint 1, 0x90046420 in ptrace ()

(gdb) return

Make selected stack frame return now? (y or n) y

#0 0x9270410e in _NSInitializePlatform ()

(gdb)

 

so it looks like the problem is in _NSInitializePlatform ()

 

I really don't know what I'm doing but for you patchers heres some links that might be helpful

iTunes 7.0.1 just went live. Here are the changes, from the Read Me First file:

  • iTunes 7.0.1 addresses stability and performance issues with Cover Flow, CD importing, iPod syncing, and more.

The problem still remains, but running it under Rosetta still works.

 

-M

Any more info in getting this to run native on SSE2? I recently went to the apple store and loaded iTunes 7 one there slowest machine and it ran faster then my pached PPC iTunes 7.

 

I would love to find a fix for this, besides buying a SSE3 computer :compress:
