Q: iTunes 10.7 Install Problem

I am trying to install iTunes 10.7 on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. The installer runs, eventually tells me I need to close iTunes, which is not open, and eventually fails. How can I get this problem fixed. All other software is up to date. Please help. Thanks.

Mac OS X (10.6.7)

You have updated to 10.6.8 (it doesn't say so in your computer profile at the bottom of your post)?

Restarted the computer?

Repaired permissions with Disk Utility?

Yes, I am on 10.6.8. The installer fails before the reboot, but I have rebooted several times as I try to fix the issue. I have not repaired permissions.. I am not entirely sure how to do that. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452

Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck (Mac OS X 10.1 - Mac OS X 10.8) - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417\

Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 - Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6, Mac OS X Server 10.5, Mac OS X Server 10.6 - mostly a bunch of SUID warnings.

The other thing is to make sure the installer file isn't corrupt. Try downloading another copy.
