My version wasn't about using the path for something else; it was only about providing a method that doesn't care what the iTunes application is called. For example, if someone were to rename it "iTunes 7.6.2", then your version would stop working.

However, as Thomas Engelmeier pointed out in a separate message, Apple doesn't currently localize the names of its iApps so you're probably safe.

because I do not need the path for what I am doing.

Would something like this work better? It should deal with localization or if the user renames iTunes for some reason.

iTunesIsOpen = NO;
NSWorkspace* workspace = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSString* iTunesPath = [workspace absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes"];
NSArray* lApplications = [workspace launchedApplications];
int lAppsCount = [lApplications count];
int a;
for (a = 0; a < lAppsCount; a++)
{
  NSDictionary* applicationD = [lApplications objectAtIndex:a];
if ([[applicationD objectForKey:@"NSApplicationPath"] isEqualToString:iTunesPath])
  {
     iTunesIsOpen = YES;
     break;
  }
}

[iTunesLMenu setTitle: NSLocalizedString(iTunesIsOpen ? @"Quit iTunes" : @"Launch iTunes",@"")];

Thanks I am using this

How can I tell if iTunes is running with cocoa.

In this particular case, you should be able to get that information using -[NSWorkspace launchedApplications]...
