Just installed iTunes for Mac 12.6.1 now iTunes only quite unexpectedly, even after restart will try shout down and start again. Can I back out 12.6.1 or use Time Machine to solve problem?

See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash and try restoring the pre-upgrade library.

Otherwise see this recent post on downgrading to iTunes 12.5.5. Remove the current copy and reinstall 12.6.1 again from https://www.apple.com/itunes/ or try the older build if that doesn't work. I'll dig out a link for the 12.6.0.100 dmg if you really need it, but it wasn't all that.

This is link to the iTunes12.6.dmg (12.6.0.100 build) on Apple's own secure servers for those that want it.

You need to uninstall the current version before you can reinstall an older one. This was addressed in the earlier link. I posted the link to 12.6 to give a choice of which build to revert to.

Here is one of many guides on how to uninstall iTunes from a Mac: http://www.inforaid.com/how-to-uninstall-itunes-from-mac-os-x-best-method/. These are direct links to the iTunes12.5.5.dmg or Tunes12.6.dmg installers on Apple's servers. See also Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for steps to roll back to the pre upgrade version of your iTunes database.

1. Download iTunes 12.6.0.100 from: **********

*********

2. Open Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor on your Mac, find out the process "iTunes-Helper” and double click it.

The following window will pop up, click Quit button.

3. Open Applications > Utilities >Terminal to delete the current iTunes .app and type: "sudo rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app”, then press Enter key.

4. Install iTunes 12.6.0.100.

5. Disable auto-upgrading in iTunes.

iTunes 12.6.1 crashes on start. Seems to be an issue with the DYLD library. Was fine until the 12.6.1 upgrade and seemed to be running OK, but shut down iTunes, tried to reopen it and nothing!

iTunes cannot be opened because of a problem.

Check with the developer to make sure iTunes works with this version of macOS. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and macOS.

Tried using the download 12.6.dmg but it won't let me install...keeps saying a new updated version exists.

I tried the right click on a song and it won't open. I'm using OS X 10.9.5 21 inch iMac

I wish I had checked before downloading this update...I tried using time machine too, and it won't let me replace

No idea what to do.

I found a workaround. Check this thread Itunes 12.6.1 Update Crash Workaround

You could try deleting the current copy of iTunes, then reinstall it as described above.

Following the installation of 12.6.1 I can open iTunes and it plays music but not tv shows or movies. Anyone else have this issue?

Looks like Tuneskit is the culprit - hmmm!

Yes, Tuneskit broke 12.6.1

Downloaded the DMG install file form Apple and installed over the top of the broken 12.6.1 and iTunes is working OK again.

The new version of iTunes is 12.6.1.27. This version won't crash.
