Hello

Yes it worked for me too, I removed the iTunes receipt and the program itself and was able to run Disk Utility without problems, so thank you.

However, was trying to find iTunes pre6.0.02 version but downloaded the latest one from Apple site and guess what version 6.0.2 so if the same thing happens again I will just delete and re-install again.

Do you know if Apple are doing anything about this problem?

hello Trevor,
Try this FTP link (iTunes 6.0)

According to Apple Discussion, this issue has been reported to Apple, and as usual, when there's a fix, Apple will release it.

Hello.

I tried the FTP link you suggested but it appears to get stuck while loading (Setting Passive Mode?) Any chance you could just send me the file?

Did you also remove iTunes 6.0.2 (application)? (you should.)

Thank you, Antony! I was having the exact same problem as Trevor. Had tried Cocktail and Norton to no avail. Deleting iTunes 6 and receipt worked like a charm to enable permissions repair with Disk Utility --
cheers, Jan

Which version of ITunes can I now install. I went through this also now I've installed ITunes 4.7.1. But I miss the podcasts. Can I install ITunes 6.0 or 6.0.1 with out this issue?

The file is 14MB, and I have no problem downloading it (with two locations).

Are you able to download any files via FTP connection?

Eriel,
According to Apple Discussions, iTunes 6.0 or 6.0.1 are fine with Mac OS X 10.3.9.
You can try this FTP link for iTunes 6.0.

[sdt=10869]iTunes 6.0.3[/sdt] is now available, however, I do not know if iTunes 6.0.3 addressed this issue.

There are mixed reports that iTunes 6.0.3 and the Disk Utility issue on OS X 10.3.9.

Some mentioned that the problem still exist, and some said it's fixed by simply trash all [tt]iTunes.pkg[/tt] files EXCEPT for [tt]iTunesX.pkg[/tt] and [tt]iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg[/tt]. (Leav all other [tt].pkg[/tt] files.)

reference: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jsp ... dID=365951

The work around for running iTunes 6.0.2 (or 6.0.3) on OS X 10.3.9 and preventing Disk Utility has "Lost Connection" with Disk Management tool issue:

1. Move iTunes onto the Desktop.
2. Run Disk Utility
3. Go to HD>Library>Receipts and trash all [tt]iTunes .pkg[/tt] files EXCEPT for [tt]iTunesX.pkg[/tt] and [tt]iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg[/tt]
4. empty Trash.
5. move iTune from Desktop back to 'Applications'.
