iTunes will not open after 8/15/15 update

Software update tells me that iTunes updated on August 15, and now it won't open. I've gone into terminal to open it, and it will open from there, but not from dock or icon in Apps folder.


Any ideas?

Interesting. This was a problem a few versions ago but I haven't seen anybody post about it in several months. Here's what people did last time:

A similar technique by Ben.d using Terminal to delete the application - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6985231?answerId=28036630022#28036630022
