Hi all.
I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.3 and I suddenly (as of tonight) cannot open the iTunes app. Tried opening from the Dock and the App folder. Tried restarting and resetting PRAM. Still nothing. When I click on the icon absolutely nothing happens.
Thanks for all help.

Hi,
Try a reinstall, you won't lose anything and it's easy. http://www.apple.com/itunes/?ref=http://itunes.com
Thanks, it was a good idea, but the reinstall didn't help.
When applications malfunction, an SMC reset may help. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
Thanks again. I did that too. Still no response when I try to open iTunes. 😟
Got the same issue, tried reinstalling but nope.
The only (boring) way I found to open iTunes, is:
In this way, I managed getting iTunes up and running, but if I connect my iPod Classic, it isn't recognized and I can't sync it anymore.
N.B. This only happened after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3 and to the latest release of iTunes.
Quite boring issue.
I have the same issue, downloaded the latest update, restarted, now can't launch iTunes in any of the normal ways. Exploring the package contents works but that's a real pain. Seems the latest update broke the launcher, Apple.
Hi,
This appears to be a bug in the Yosemite update as many people are reporting it. One temporary solution appears to be to delete iTunes first using a Terminal command and then reinstall it. See this thread. Re: iTunes 12.1.2 will not open
It may be a good idea to report it to Apple so that they will get around to fixing it. http://www.apple.com/feedback/
This is what worked for me (and others, apparently):
Yosemite slow opening and cannot open itunes
See most recent box marked "solved" on that ^ discussion thread.
(Thanks to Linc Davis.)
