Hi, ever since I have updated to the OS 10.12.2 version, I seem to have issues with some of the standard inbuilt programs - like: iTunes, AppStore and Safari -

What ever I try - I get this message before I even do anything -

any idea what this is or how I can stop this - I am totally blocked with those programs!

Glad I have alternatives . . .

thanks
