Play - Pause buttons opening iTunes in Snow Leopard

Quit iTunes Locate iTunes.app in Finder (In Finder: Menu › Go › Applications...) Ctrl-click on the iTunes.app-file and select 'Compress "iTunes.app"' (for backup) Ctrl-click on the iTunes.app-file and select 'Show Package Contents' Locate the file 'Info.plist' inside the folder 'Contents' Ctrl-click 'Info-plist' and select 'Open with..' and select 'TextEdit' (or your favourite text-editor. Not Word tho.)

Near the bottom of the file locate the following segment:

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.iTunes</string>

Change the last 's' in the word 'iTunes' to 'z', like so:

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.iTunez</string>

Save the file IMPORTANT: Drag the file 'iTunes.app' out of the Applications-folder and on to the Desktop Drag the file 'iTunes.app' back into the Applications folder (You should probably disable the iTunesHelper. This can be done by going to System Preferences › Accounts › (Your account) › Login Items and remove the 'iTunesHelper'.) Log out and log in
