iTunes doesn't open after Yosemite is installed

I am having the same exact problem, and it started happening after I upgraded to Yosemite as well.

Computer:

- 2014 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display (MacBookPro11,1)

- 2.8 GHz processor

- 8 GB RAM

- 256 GB Flash Storage

- OS X 10.10

I have been having the same problem too but I solved it! You first have to click on the "Finder" icon then find the iTunes application in the application folder. After that right click on the iTunes icon and press "show package contents." Once that is open click on the "contents" folder, then click "Mac OS." After the "Mac OS" folder is open click you have on to click on the iTunes terminal. (It was the first icon in the folder, it saids "exec" on it.)

Hello,

Y have find a solution, read my post in this discussion:

iTunes won't launch ...

Just upgraded (if you can call it that) to Yosemite today and having exact same problem. Tried reinstalling both OS and iTunes with no joy. I have a 2011 iMac which I guess is old in Mac terms but shouldn't really be an issue. Hopefully Apple will launch a patch for this.

HI

I have the same problem. Itunes don't launch. Iv installed the OS twice and no different.

I have a early 2011 MBP and I'm having the same problem. I've restarted multiple times. I haven't tried anything with the PRAM yet. I also tried reinstalling itunes. I'm nervous to try the method that some people suggest of opening the itunes terminal file. To delete iTunes you also have to do something with terminal which makes me nervous as well. I hope they can fix it soon.

This solution worked for me, thank you!!

Thanks! ✅

YESSS!!! It worked! thanks so much liliannnnguyen!

I have the same problem. The solution posted by liliannnnguyen works but.. for me I have to use that solution every time.

That is, to launch iTunes I have to enter show package contents/MacOS and double click iTunes (which launches the Terminal App)

Don't also forget to repair permission, when you launch it this way. Close the terminal app. Then close iTunes, and then repair permission. Restart the Mac and see whether that helped.

I am also having the same problem. Updated my 2012 MacBook Pro from Mavericks to Yosemite and now iTunes will not open. I have attempted to open the application in many different ways and I get nothing. I am in need of this very much because I am a professional musician.

It worked, thanks. But when I quit/closed terminal, iTunes wouldn't open again. Do I have to do this every time? Do I have to keep terminal open always?

This solved my problem. Thanks!

No. Just get iTunes opened once with this method and then it should work by itself again ...
