2- Is there a way to launch applications like iTunes from cocoa

the
need to use AppleScript?
Look at the NSWorkspace documentation. iTunes's bundle identifier is
com.apple.iTunes, but in general you can look at any app bundle's
Info.plist file to get its bundle identifier (the CFBundleIdentifier
key).
Thanks, I did and it did the trick. One question though, it seems
the call
returns before the app is launched, what's the best way to detect
when the
app is launched? I heard there's something called notification
center or so.
Is there a way to view all notifications being sent on my Mac?
Which method are you using, specifically? If you use -
launchAppWithBundleIdentifier:options:additionalEventParamDescriptor:launchIdentifier
: and don't pass NSWorkspaceLaunchAsync among the options, it should
launch synchronously.
Alternatively, you can observe the
NSWorkspaceDidLaunchApplicationNotification notification to be
notified asynchronously rather than blocking synchronously. See the
Notification Programming guide for more info <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Notifications/
>.
However, it's not always clear what it means for an app to be
launched. Does it mean the process has been created? Does it mean
the app icon has stopped bouncing in the Dock? Does it mean the app
has finished processing all of the initial events and has reached an
idle point? You should be clear in your mind about what you want and
why you think you need to know.
