Feb 28, 2016 4:30 PM in response to Cedric Frenetteby Michael From Boston,I have solved the issue! You need to go into the application tab from finder. Find the itunes app. Since it is "required" by the system you are not able to delete it. Right click and the itunes icon and press get info. Unlock the window by pressing the lock on the bottom right after expanding it. Under sharing and permissions change the tab that says "everyone" from read only to read and write. This will allow you to delete the app. You can then manually download and install itunes from the apple website. After installing launch itunes. Your library will not have changed since you only deleted the application, it will be as if you never had a problem.

Mar 2, 2016 12:39 PM in response to Cedric Frenetteby Fitzdrum,I also have this problem. In fact, I can't close iTunes whether force quit or not. Plus, the entire operation system seems very sluggish since installing El Capitan. It's been a complete disaster.

May 12, 2016 2:29 AM in response to Cedric Frenetteby Hyperchaz,I Think i know what caused this.. I figure out that this caused by a extremely slow or even a no connection wifi router.. turn off the wifi and re-open iTunes fixed the problem for me..

May 13, 2016 3:22 AM in response to lizzysaurusby nickfromsingapore,El Capitan is sch a nightmare,I so wish I had not upgraded my system.My iTunes keeps going into a constant spinning ball when I try to do anything on iTunes.
What was worse was when I updated to el Capitan every time I turned on my MacBook Pro I suddenly got a "guest user" as well as myself on the opening screen and of course I did not have a password for this imaginary guest user.I solved it by starting up with file vault turned off after trying all sorts of things.
What is going on at Apple these days? we never used to have these sort of problems.

May 15, 2016 5:17 AM in response to Cedric Frenetteby curtismymoniker,So I think I finally fixed mine...
First I deleted iTunes using "Michael From Boston's" instructions. Afterwards I turned off my wifi like "Tyke999" said to do. Then I installed a fresh copy of iTunes (keeping the wifi off). I had to let iTunes perform the "scanning for gapless play" sequence. Look at the top right of the iTunes window, there's a rotating loading circle indicating iTunes was performing something. After that sequence was done, I turned my wifi back on and no more spinning beach ball. Hope this helps.
