Now the complicated and definitive version (tested under Lion):


Open Terminal


User uploaded file


In the shell execute the following


  • cd /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/
  • gdb iTunes



After gdb is launched, execute this in gdb:


  • br ptrace
  • run
  • set $rdi=11
  • continue


iTunes is now launched



Open activity Monitor


User uploaded file


Search for iTunes


User uploaded file


Find the process id (PID) In my screenshot it's numbered as 407



Open another Terminal Window


User uploaded file


Run:


sudo su -


It prompts for the password, enter it.


Run:


opensnoop -p <PID>


example: opensnoop -p 407


Now all the files that iTunes open will scroll through this screen. It's very verbose
