1. If you're running the exact version your friend needs you don't need Pacifist; all you need to do is burn it from your /Apps folder to a disk, and drag & drop it from the disc to her /Apps folder (although it would probably be better to d/l v 11.4 from Apple as per freelance if that version is OK). I'd repair permissions after reinstalling.

2. You'll need to get rid of the version of iTunes.app (only) that she's got installed now in one way or another, and it may be a pain depending on which version of OS X she's running.

3. When your friend upgraded iTunes her ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml was changed to a version that's not compatible with the earlier version of iTunes you're going to (re)install, so you'll have to either recreate or reinstall the lost file:
  • I believe the original of that file still exists in ~/Music/iTunes, but with a changed name, in which case you can change it back to iTunes Music Library.xml.
  • If not, you'll have to reimport her entire ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder, and that will result in its being recreated.
In either event you'll want to trash the new file.

Hope that helps.
