Does anyone know if Apple has been made aware of this issue?
Will they release a patch update for OS X Yosemite 10.10.5?
Any kind of help or suggestions are welcome.
MacBook Pro Retina (2015 and later)
*UPDATE*
Tried the method of copying an old Time Machine Backup of the MobileDevice.framework but the folder does not exist so I assume Apple has been made aware of this issue & will release an updated patch shortly...
If anyone else can figure this major calamity PLEASE LET US KNOW.
*SOLUTION*
For a 'dirty fix' I just deleted, (moved to trash), the following file... MobileDevice.framework
this is located /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
Safari started up again fine straight away and I haven't noticed any issues since.
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
*I CAN CONFIRM THIS DOES WORK 100%*

That is part of what Apple talked me through doing and yes, my Safari worked, however there was a part 2 to fixing it. There were two more fixes that had to be applied so that Safari as well as iTunes would work.
First person I spoke to insisted the only way to fix it is to upgrade OS to Mojave. I refused, stating that my older apps will not work with Mojave. At that point she handed the call over to the senior tech who was excellent and fixed everything so both Safari and iTunes work.
He also said that Apple is very aware of this situation and they are working on a fix that should be out very soon. He could not give me exact timing.
If you have about 45 minutes to kill (mostly on hold), call Apple support and they will get you up and running again.
Yes that was the first part, as for the other two parts that get iTunes working, the Apple tech provided me with 2 separate links. I don’t have them sorry, they disappeared once I clicked on them. I’m sure they can help you. The first link installed an older version of iTunes and the second link updated that older version to the current version that works with Yosemite and safari.
Maybe you can source out those links on your own? They were in Apple documents.
It's a dirty fix !
After that, iPhoto won't work and iPhone and iPad won't appear in iTunes.
A complete fix is here : Yosemite,Safari & friends
I have exactly the same problem and error after updating to iTunes 12..8.1 with 10.10.5
I am on hold with apple support right now. I will let you know if they know about this and what their answer is.
Are you looking in the System/Library/PrivateFrameworks folder while in the backup?
What were the other two parts of the fix to get both safari and I tunes working? I assume the first part is to delete the MobileDivice.framework, is that correct?
Actually, I just realized that I have both iTunes .dmg files on my desktop. First one is iTunes 12.6.5 Second one is iTunes 12.8. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much Ellab138. I will give it a try.
