Hello all,

I upgraded to lion today and now for whatever reason I can't complete the update to iTunes 10.4 I'm currently running 10.3.1 and can't seem to update. I keep getting an error message but no clear reason why. I keep my music on an external drive if this makes any difference. I'm running Lion on a late 2009 Macbook. Thanks in advance for any and all help
 
Same Problem

I have the same problem, and I'm not using an external hard drive to store my music on. If you find a solution please post it here, I'm desperate...

Lion hasn't really been a good experience for me, I can't use my mail.app either :( It doesn't show it self on startup and it's no where to be found :mad:

That's weird. I'd guess there will be plenty of little anomolies that apple will have to deal with as the bugs in this system reveal themselves through real world use. For your mail.app you may have to reinstall it from your disk. I've had that issue in the past with snow leopard and that was the solution that worked for me.

This iTunes thing is a strange one. The program still works fine, I just can't update it. To be fair iTunes has always been a little buggy for me, and my Lion experience, with the exception of this, has been very good.
 
Here's a screen shot of the message I'm getting........



That's not really giving me tons of info there is it.
 
I had this problem too. Reading through forums, I found a fix. Make another user account and make them an admin. From that account, do the Software Update, and this should work!

Also when it is finished, you can delete the user and iTunes will still work just fine.

Are you using Apple's Software Update or did you download it from Apple's website?

I did both. When the update didn't work I downloaded it from the iTunes page.
