iTunes is not supported on Big Sur. You should look elsewhere in the thread for advice on the possible workaround, or learn to use the replacement apps that are provided. See What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support, the advice there applies equally to Big Sur as it does to Catalina.

Please advise how use / Retroactive ? Whats the process ? thanks


iTunes has been replaced by the Apple TV app (for TV and movies). Finder (for device sync), the Music app, Books (for audio books), and the Podcast app (for podcasts).


For details, tap or click on the following blue-text link ➡️ What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support


If you really want to use the now-deprecated iTunes app on Catalina or newer using Retrospective (and not the apps Apple has replaced iTunes with), see the Retrospective website.

See What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support first. The Music, TV, Podcasts, & Books apps, along with Finder, should take over all of the functions of iTunes. If your library hasn't ported over properly to Music then ideally you would deal with that rather than trying to shoehorn iTunes into a system that isn't designed for it. Retroactive is a utility that will install iTunes for you on Catalina or later, however any given update to macOS might break it again. If your content is missing, or isn't where the library expects it to be, installing iTunes isn't necessarily going to fix anything.
