Dear Satcomer,

Thanks for your post. I investigated the permissions.
This is what I found:

I have no file: dangottlieb/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
where dangottlieb is my administrative account.

On my other standard account dhg , which I created recently to test the
iTunes problem I have:

Users/dhg/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist

and when I ls -Flas it I get:

2 -rw------- 1 dhg dhg 34170 Jan 6 13:32 com.apple.iTunes.plist


On my wife's account, judyschaper which is quite old I have:

/Users/judyschaper/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist

and ls -Flas of the file gives me

48 -rw------- 1 judyscha staff 22980 Jan 5 07:19 com.apple.iTunes.plist

Now contrary to cflecs's post: "Also, you cannot have itunes open in 2 accounts at the same time.", right nowI have iTunes running on both dhg and judyschaper, both of which are standard accounts. My administrative account, dangottlieb, cannot open iTunes and just gets the license agreement and then the popup saying there are not enough access privileges to open it.

about a year ago, I was plying around with haveing different accounts and
the fast switcher, and I thought I had ruined my Mac. I had made dhg a
second administrative account. I eventually made a .dmg out of dhg and
somehow things got back to normal. Maybe this iTunes problem is related to that earlier event?

I feel very nervous changing permissions, since I can't predict what will
happen.

Thanks,

dhg
