Will it open if you access it from the Applications folder?
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer or by using the developer’s uninstall instructions. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. On the screen with Options, please open Options and check the bottom 2 boxes before running. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown.
Hi,
This did not work. Safari won't work at all. Firefox didn't work either until I restarted the computer for the third time. In the sound setting, there is no device detected and I can't which the computer from mute. It has become very, very slow. It is all very frustrating! Thanks for trying!
I was having the same issues, I’ve tried opening it from a different user and with the safe boot, but either have not worked.
So, I went to the iTunes website and downloaded another iTunes and after the installation it re-opened right were I left as I haven’t lost anything.
Hi, I am not too clever with these things. Did you trash the Safari that you had and then download a new Safari? Or how did it work exactly? It is really frustrating and I seem to have serious problems evertine I do an “update”. Thanks for the help!
Thank you for the help. I did get it working. My son told me to re-install Safari. When I did this it overwrote the old Safari and I didn’t loose anything. I think Apple should have included this information with the update. I appreciate all the help!
You are welcome. Try running/posting the Etrecheck report using the instructions in my last post.
Just restart and press the the 4 key together befor you get the logo.
Keep pressing the keys till you hear the start sound 3 times
