| Revised OS X iTunes 2.01 Installer Available Now: |
Although it was pulled yesterday (Saturday), as of today Apple has restored the iTunes2 for OS X 10.1 download link at their iTunes2 download page. This revised installer (hopefully) should not have the issues some noted with the original (11/2/2001) version.
Apple has this note on the download page now:
"
An important note for those who have downloaded iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X:
Apple has identified an installer issue with iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X that affects
a limited number of systems running Mac OS X with multiple volumes (drives or
partitions) mounted. For those systems, running the iTunes 2.0 installer can result in loss of user data. While this error is highly unlikely to affect most users, Apple strongly advises that anyone who has downloaded the 2.0 version of iTunes for Mac OS X, as well as anyone who has a beta version of iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X, immediately remove the iTunes.pkg installer file from their system. A new version that corrects this issue, iTunes 2.0.1 for Mac OS X, is now available from this page. Users who have already installed iTunes 2.0 without incident do not need to reinstall iTunes 2.0.1, but they should still immediately remove the 2.0 installer file from their system. This issue does not affect users of iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS 9.

| Volume Names a Factor in OS X iTunes2.0 Installer Erased Partitions? |
| A reader commented on what may be a factor in why some volumes were wiped by the (originally released) OS X iTunes2.0 installer. (Apple later released a 2.01 installer that should prevent this problem.)
"
The problem is with some code in the installer. If you have more than one partition with spaces with similar names
(eg "Disk 1" "Disk 2") then it will hose your drives. Apple's supposedly working on it right now.

The 4 Macs I installed iTunes2 on (without problems) had disk names like "Macintosh HD", "IBM75GXP", "OS X", etc. - no machine had volumes/partitions with similar names. |

(Sometimes these old pages are a bit embarrassing - and in many cases the offsite links may not work and comments there were accurate only on the date posted regarding upgrade availability, etc.)
