Hi folks!
I have had some trouble installing iTunes 4.5. Originally, I was using OS X 10.2.8, and when I tried doing the update from SoftwareUpdate, the iTunes installation would always just crash without any error messages. All other installations via the software update have been fine. I then updated to Panther, currently at 10.3.4, and had the exact same problems. I tried putting my current iTunes (4.1) in the trash...to no avail.
I read the forums and saw some similar problems with updates. I ran the disk repair utilities to correct permitions. I have done an "fsck". I have done the "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly" from the command line.
Then i finally tried "sudo softwareupdate -i -a" from the command line and got the following message:
sudo softwareupdate -i -a

iTunes: 0...10...20...30...40...50buffer overflow!
Abort
This is the first clue i had into what was going wrong. Unfortunately, it has not helped me to fix my problem. I have downloaded multiple copies of the itunes update, both manually and via the control panel. They all result in the same problem. Anyone have an idea of what is happening here?
Any insights are appreciated!
