Hello


I just recently tried to install iLife 04(yes a lil behind the times).. It would not let me install because I had an iLife program running. So being as super intellegent that I am, I tried closing all the programs, but that didnt work, so I deleted the iLife programs on my hard drive.

iLife 04 dvd liked that and installed the programs, but NOT iTunes 4.2(the iTunes verision on iLife 04). When I try to install it, it comes up disabled. So I downloaded the newest verision of iTunes and tried to install it as well. It also won't allow me to install. Under the installer program it comes up as disabled under action.

So what am i missing or doing wrong? Any help? Does it have to do with the preexisting iTunes library? I did not delete that folder.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I ran into this problem too. Go into Activity Monitor and stop the itunes helper program, then do the install.

Hope it helps.

Perhaps a previous install of (the same or later version of) iTunes has left a
package in the Receipts folder(?) Look inside the folder /Library/Receipts/
for an item named "iTunes.pkg" (or something similar), and move it out to
the desktop (temporarily perhaps... to see if that satisfies the installer).
