Hi Tralcan

 

You got two options

 

1) Latest iTune 7 cannot run on an SSE2 processor (Pentium M)

 

Appzap iTunes, delete the iTunes 7 package in the Library/Reciepts folder and

 

Then Download iTunes 6.0.5 from Apple

 

2) Or run iTunes 7 as PPC app. It's slower, but hey, you're running iTunes 7!

Here's how you tweak it

Since this thread is getting really long... I just thought I would attempt to summarize what's comtained (sorry if I miss anything..)

 

It appears that if you have an SSE3 cpu, intel or AMD most reports are that everything is A-O.K. QT 7.1.3 may or may not be required, there may be some problems viewing album covers, probably steming from QE/CI issues. But at least you can launch the app, play music, etc. And at least you know you ought to be able to upgrade without borking your system..

 

SSE2 guys... Well we're forked. The trick to making this work (it worked for me) is to make the app PPC only..

 

cd /Applications

ditto -arch ppc iTunes.app iTunesPPC.app

 

Then in finder, go to applications, rename iTunes.app to iTunesUniversal.app (or something) and rename iTunesPPC.app to iTunes.app. After that, right click on iTunes.app and Show Package Contents. Double click on Contents and open Info.plist with any decent text editor. Down towards the bottom you should see this key..

 

<key>LSRequiresNativeExecution</key>

<true/>

 

Change the <true/> to <false/>, and save the file.

 

That SHOULD HOPEFULLY work.. The weird thing for me, was that it didn't work at first, but I didn't reboot, or do anything else, and then a few minutes after these changes accidentally clicked on iTunes in the dock and it launched. Don't ask me... I did try downloading and running the zip files posted on page 6 (i think) during the time between it not working and suddenly working, but that app didn't work for me...

 

For me it's working now on an SSE2 Intel CPU, 768M of Ram, 10.4.6, QT 7.0.4.. Rosetta seems to make it slower (obviously), and the interface isn't exactly mind-blowing.. So if you have an SSE2 system, I probably wouldn't upgrade until there's a patch to allow it to run native. SSE3 guys should be OK but might want to re-read the thread for issues (i didn't pay as much attention to the SSE3 posts, blah to you guys!!

 

Good Luck!!

EDIT: Just thought I'd let you icon guys know that with these steps my icon ceased being f-ed up with the no-smoking circle around it.

 

P.S. Now, can anyone help me with my damn ALPS touchpad... For some reason the drivers posted by PHB don't work on my (and several other peoples) Dell Latitude D600...

Thanks, work very well....
