I am currently unable to open iTunes 12.8 on my Mac. If I launch the application, the iTunes icon appears in the dock as if the application is open, but no application window appears. If I then go to Force Quit Applications, it shows "iTunes (not responding)".
I have tried a Safe Mode boot, but that didn't solve the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks
iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
Thanks. Bizarrely that didn't work either. Same issue. So I just upgraded the whole OS to10.14 Mojave, which includes the newer version of iTunes. That hasn't worked either. I do at least get a message this time though, although it stays in that state permanently.
Wondering if perhaps the library has got corrupted? Any other ideas?
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for a way to step back to a previous good version of your library database. You might want to try actively creating a new empty library just to confirm that iTunes will work, and then try selecting the library you think it should be using.

Thanks, that worked. The most recent library file in the 'Previous iTunes Libraries" folder also didn't work, but the next oldest one did. Appreciate the help, that's been driving me crazy!
You're welcome. 🙂
