Itunes not responding.

I have tried many things including looking at other responses, restarting my mac, going on a new account and a new library but I can't even continue on a new account or library because as soon as it is opened the rainbow "wheel of death" appears and I have to force quit itunes. I even updated my mac to the furthest update. Any ideas?

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), It is a 4 year old Macbook.

iTunes Freezing Constantly Hey everyone! I'm running into an issue with iTunes on my iMac (Late 2015). When I open the program, it just freezes and I get the spinning rainbow wheel. That leads to me having to Force Quit iTunes. It's been happening for a few days now, but nothing has changed on my computer. No major upgrades or new software installations. I've tried resetting the SMC but I've had no luck getting iTunes to work properly. I don't believe that upgrading my OS to Monterey would be a good longterm solution, just because I'm not sure how well it would run on my machine, even though the upgrade is available. I'm currently running Mojave. Has this happened to any of you at all? Is there any fix I can apply? I miss listening to music as I work. :(

iTunes isn’t working I just recently bought a MacBook Pro yesterday, and when I try to listen to music, it skips to the next song halfway through the first one. I’ve shut down and restarted my computer, logged out of my iTunes and still nothing is helping.

Did you try reinstalling from iTunes - Download iTunes Now - Apple yet?
