Updating iTunes alone.

Hi,

I'm trying to update just iTunes on some machines. I was able to download the installer from Apple's site but I did a test run and tried to install it on my own Mac and there are a lot of windows to bypass, such as the EULA.

Without trying to go through Composer, does anyone have any scripts that can bypass them or have it update silently?

Thanks in advance.

    There's nothing really to do – just drop the iTunes.pkg file into Casper Admin and add it to a policy. There's no prompts when running the install this way.

    Hi Seide,

    For each new version (including updates) of iTunes, the end user will need to accept the EULA for that specific version.

    The way to stop this is to either package up or manage the com.apple.itunes.plist file, particularly the EULA section.

    Hope that helps

    Actually, so far, what cdev recommended seems to be working. If I come across any EULA issues, I will try your suggestion, adz_dar.

    Thanks again!

    In all of my experience, when you install a package from the command line "installer" command or via Casper, all dialogs and EULAs are skipped. If anyone has seen an exception I'd be interested in hearing more about it.
