xcode 4.1 installation alert stuck, like forever, on Lion

I'm tyring to install xcode on Lion and it gave me an alert to quit itunes which is already not running. So i laucnhed it from the spotlight like icon the alert window has and quit it several times but it wont recognize the event. so i decided to close the xcode installer. however, even after quitting the installer the alert window is stuck and wont budge from the desktop!


how do i get rid of it?

i had this too. here is my solution:


1. launch terminal.app

2. run: ps aux | grep iTunes

3. there should be a process running with name: iTunesHelper

4. find the process number (in the second column)

5. run: kill -9 "number" !!! take caution here


this is what fixed it for me.
