Fusion Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Spykes, You are the only other person I have seen with this error! Mine occurred after I installed Max's aqua extreme. I used the package installer that replaces the real files, and iTunes did this after it installed. Unfortunately, I tried everything and nothing could remedy it. I tried restoring iTunes skin, reinstalling iTunes, everything... I ended up doing a complete backup/format. This happened on 10.4.2. The Aqua Extreme package with the iTunes skin worked fine in 10.4.1.

divinatum Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 If it were me i would do this - First, i'd restart, see if that remided it.. If it didn't i'd search my system for "com.apple.iTunes" and delete all the files, then delete the iTunes .app file, empty my trash... go to apple, redownload iTunes and reinstall... if it STILL did it id go to terminal and do this... cd /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS then ./iTunes and see if it gave an error in the terminal. If it still does it.. umm, reinstall osx and never mess with resources again :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/350262-itunes-wont-open/#findComment-586284574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yeah, none of those fixed it divinatum :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/350262-itunes-wont-open/#findComment-586284609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureLogic Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) Did you by any chance screw around with iTunes' iTunes.rsrc file? Last time I got that error, I installed Aqua Extreme with iTunes mod which isn't updated for iTunes 4.9. The only way you can fix it (without a complete format) is by extracting iTunes.app from the iTunes installer with Pacifist or something similar and replace your current .app file with it or ask someone to send you iTunes's .rsrc file. It's really easy to fix once you know how. ;) If you want iTunes to be "Aqua Extreme'd" too you'll have to do it manually with ThemePark by extracting the Aqua Extreme iTunes.rsrc file from the installer package with Pacifist, extract the modified tiffs and drag them into the default iTunes.rsrc file.

robniep Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 A friend of mine too had the same error, did the same thing as Fusion, formated and reinstalled. :( You can always use quicktime to listen to music :whistle: :whistle: :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/350262-itunes-wont-open/#findComment-586285719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spykes424 Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Thanks everyone, PureLogic was right. Downloaded iTunes 4.9, dragged iTunes.app to the desktop, quit iTunesHelper -- Replaced in Applications, runs fine! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/350262-itunes-wont-open/#findComment-586285903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
