I've seen this discussed in a couple of forums, though it hasn't 
happened to me: there's a known problem some Panther users have had 
after updating iTunes to 6.0.2. One workaround suggested is to move 
iTunes out of the /Applications folder (e.g. to the desktop) before 
checking permissions. Others suggest going to /Library/Receipts and 
deleting all the iTunes pkg files  except iTunesX.pkg and 
iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg .
