ITunes 10.4.1 update killed my mbp

Hi, I was running 10.6.8 (or the latest available anyway) for few weeks with no problem. Today I made the mistake of checking for any updates and noticed a new one which only included itunes 10.4.1 for my machine. After the upgrade the macbook pro wont boot up. It starts, then shows the default wallpaper (the galaxy) then it goes blue with the loader running for a moment, then it goes blue again with the loader and stays in that loop.
Anyone with the same issue?
Any advices?
Whatever I do I need to keep the stuff in the machine untouched. I think we can reinstall the OS without affecting the rest of the files right?
I can't find the original SL disk (I bought it in 2009) will the latest 10.6.8 combo update allow me to run the disk utility?
I wont start in safe mode.
I am able to get in in single user mode where I have run several times /sbin/fsdk -fy and it reports some repair and that everything is ok. But obviously it is not.
In verbose mode I didn't find any relevant errors I think, other than something about converting dashboardadvisoryd.plist to launchd...
Thanks.

Ok.
I had to order a new SL disk since I cannot find the original one. Obviously the disks are not available from the shops so I have to wait until I get it. But I am getting a bad feeling as I read different posts over the net. Lets see if the disk will help.
I though this post would help but it didn't.
I can paste here the system.log that comes out from a startup. In the end you can see a couple of events repeated which represent the loop in which the system stays.
Any hints are more than appreciated...

  • IMac Early 2011 - 10.6.7 update kills system

    I've read similar threads, but here is my more specific issue, the 10.6.7 update complete screws up a brand new iMac running 10.6.6
    Brand new 2011 21.5" 2.7Ghz iMac running 10.6.6 from the box, just opened and set-up for first time and ran software update chosing the 10.6.7 update and a couple of others which are suggested (Safari, iTunes etc).
    Download updates, then after requesting a restart the system just hangs with the spinning beachball (doesn't restart, stays on desktop background forever).
    Force power off and restart. System won't boot, hangs at the Apple logo screen. A safe boot again hangs at similar point (even waited 60 mins in one case just to make sure, but no disk activity can be heard), verbose boot shows the last successful item is: "[ffffff800c78300][AppleMultitouchDevice::start] entered" which isn't that helpful to me...
    Boot to Install DVD (mouse and keyboard work fine), HD verifies ok, repaired permissions (only faults appear in Library > Updates), try to reboot, again still hangs. Tried every trick I know, but now going to attempt a reinstall from scratch, half a day wasted so far...
    Very unimpressed that a recommended system update can brick a brand new Mac.
    So is the 10.6.7 update officially faulty on these new iMacs, if I download the update package from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1383  (specific to early 2011 iMac, rather than combo updater), will it still fail? I don't want to waste yet more time on re-installs, unless I can bill Apple my hourly rate

    Actually in the first 3 months your Apple service is free.  Call AppleCare. 
    >"[ffffff800c78300][AppleMultitouchDevice::start] entered"
    A mouse or trackpad that is faulty could yield errors with that.  It would be interesting to see if you can remove all but the Apple keyboard from the equation and it boot.  If it does, then your input device is faulty, not the entire machine, or the update.
    Some iMacs of that age got a graphics update, but not sure if it applies to you:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1389
    No operating system update can kill a Mac.  The Mac may already have something else marginal about it that needs fixing.  Also is your data backed up?

    The first step is to try this Microsoft fixit:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    If that doesn't work we will have to try something more complicated. It is a could not open file error message from the installer.

  • I have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?

    i have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?

    You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers.  The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari.  Hope this helps!

    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    Maybe this:

  • I tried to update iTunes yesterday.  The update failed.  Now when I try to open iTunes it says that the version isn't localized and needs to be run in English.  It has never been in another language.

    I attempted to update iTunes yesterday.  The update failed.  iTunes now won't open and displays an error message that the program isn't localized and needs to be run in the English version.  I'm in the US and the computer and program has never been used in another language.  I tried reinstalling the full download for the new version and that failed as well.  I logged out; shut down; restarted; retried the update; etc.  Still no luck and the same message.  Thoughts?

    Solving MSVCR80 issue and Windows iTunes install issues.
    If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
    HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
    HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

  • How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

    How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
    My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
    Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
    Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
    Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

  • How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari" bc I can't download the latest software?

    How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.

    I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
    In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/

  • When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

    When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

    Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
    If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

  • How can I resolve error code -54 in iTunes? I am using the latest iTunes. No new updates are available.

    How can I resolve error code -54 in iTunes? I am using the latest iTunes. No new updates are available. I'm using iTunes 11.3 on a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8. I can't save my library in iTunes, the message just keeps popping up.

    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Although there is no formal list of OSX error code some of the old codes still apply to OSX .)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
    Try quitting iTunes, then deleting the .xml (not .itl !) version of the library file in the iTunes folder (iTunes will generate a new one).
    iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814 - various things to try.

  • When I "like" a song via Ping in iTunes, it no longer updates in my recent activity - any ideas why, or how to fix?

    Done all the normal updates - iOS5, iTunes 10.5, etc.
    As of the middle of June, every time I "like" a song via Ping in iTunes, it no longer updates in my Recent Activity tab in Ping.  Any ideas why, or how I can resolve?

    I don't have a solution, but this is also happening to me.  I have contacted iTunes Support but they have been less than useful.  Hopefully someone will have a solution and post here.

  • My iPhone4 can't sync to Itunes after I have updated the iPhone to ISO5.0. now my iPhone can't play music. whenever i go to play my music on my iPhone it just reverts back to the playlist. hopeless! ISO5.0 is as bad as Microsoft stuffs.

    I have recently updated the iTunes in order to update both my iPhone and iPad to ISO5.0. unfortunately, after the updated, my iPhone is no longer playing any music. whenever i go to play music on my iPhone it just reverts back to the playlist or it keeps running through song to song. But still, no music is on.
    I tried to re-sync the music library, error mesage prop up,
    "The iPhone 'xfdsarw' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"
    I delete the iTunes and download it again. Then, I restore my iPhone to the version before ISO 5.0. After, I do the updated again. However, the problem still exists. What should I do? Please advise. I cant believe that iPhone cannot play iTunes!!!!
    How come, apple acts like Microsoft? I saw this problem had existed in the developer stages back to the past summer. Then, you guys didnt fix it before the release of ISO 5.0. Hopeless. As being a life-long apple fan, I am so disappointed! Wordless  ....

    My music can be played in my iMac and iPad itunes, but not my iPhone4.
    i did what you have suggested to unsync the music and then re-sync again. should i try to cancel all the music in the library and then restore them again. can it work? i dont want to bet coz reloading so much music is very trouble.

    Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album.

So what do I do?
