the installation is complete but says itunes is still being updated

I just installed an iTunes update on my MacBook so I can back up my iPhone to iTunes. The installation is complete but I cannot open iTunes- says it's still being updated. Is there something else I need to do?

For that I can understand that you are using Catalina or Big Sur and haven't found iTunes, right?

In those systems you don't have iTunes anymore. Finder is now responsible for that job
