You must have not practiced the 'Safe Mac Update' rule ...

01. Before installing any Apple update(s) - launch 'Disk Utility' ('/Applications/Utilities/' folder) and perform a 'Repair Disk Permissions', a minimum of once. Some prefer booting from the Installation CD / DVD and performing a 'Disk Utility' 'Repair Disk', and then a 'Repair Disk Permissions' (or two), on the boot hard disk drive.
02. Install the Update(s).
03. After installing any Apple update(s) - launch 'Disk Utility' and perform a 'Repair Disk Permissions' a minimum of once.

And yes, sometimes - moving to the 'Desktop', or deleting, the respective Application's preferences file(s) ('com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist', 'com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist', and 'com.apple.iTunes.plist - for 'iTunes')'; or, rename them (say by appending '_' to them), does solve a - failed to launch iTunes' problem.
 
I tried this, because I have had the same problem with connecting to the Music Store and to online radio, but it didn't work either.

I deleted iTunes, ran the Disk Utility twice, deleted the permissions suggested, repaired the Keychain, then reinstalled iTunes 6.0.1. No dice.

The wierd thing that I have found is that if I click repeatedly on the Music Store or the radio station, I sometimes can bt connected to a music page.

I hope that with enough information from many different peope, you experts will learn enough about the symptoms of this problem

One mor thing: I was actually in the middle of searching through the Music Store when I got the message that there was a problem. Also, I can connect to the Music Store and to the radio stations if I keep trying.
