itunes freezes any time I add anything.

I'm running OS X 10.9.5 and iTunes 12.6.6.20 and have the latest "Updates" from the App Store. iTunes opens and functions flawlessly until I add music to it. Then it freezes. I cannot scroll through anything in the left column AT ALL! To quit, I have to go to the iTunes in the Dock and right-click: QUIT.

When I relaunch, it's fine again until I add anything.


Tired of this!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Also try the Safe Mode.

Safe Mode Startup – El Capitan. also Sierra


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.
