Would something like this work better? It should deal with localization or if the user renames iTunes for some reason.

iTunesIsOpen = NO;
NSWorkspace* workspace = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSString* iTunesPath = [workspace absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes"];
NSArray* lApplications = [workspace launchedApplications];
int lAppsCount = [lApplications count];
int a;
for (a = 0; a < lAppsCount; a++)
{
NSDictionary* applicationD = [lApplications objectAtIndex:a];
if ([[applicationD objectForKey:@"NSApplicationPath"] isEqualToString:iTunesPath])
{
iTunesIsOpen = YES;
break;
}
}


[iTunesLMenu setTitle: NSLocalizedString(iTunesIsOpen ? @"Quit iTunes" : @"Launch iTunes",@"")];

Thanks I am using this

if ([[applicationD objectForKey:@"NSApplicationName"] isEqualToString:@"iTunes"]) {
iTunesIsOpen = YES;
[iTunesLMenu setTitle: NSLocalizedString(@"Quit iTunes",@"")];
}
}

How can I tell if iTunes is running with cocoa.

In this particular case, you should be able to get that information using -[NSWorkspace launchedApplications]...
