I'm sorry I can't solve your problem, but I find it interesting that you are (or were) running iTunes successfully. Whenever I tried to install either 2.04 or 3.01 (on Jaguar), it won't boot. Both releases say they require a computer with built-in USB, which naturally the PCI PowerMacs don't have. Is there a way around this I am unaware of? I have been using Air Whisper, instead.
