Created by Apple Computer, iTunes is an audio playback and library software. To download and view files from your hard drive, you can use iTunes. The software can also download songs from the iTunes Music Store (for a small fee).
You may also play spoken word files, such as audio books or other recordings, though songs are the most popular files that iTunes plays. There is also a radio option for iTunes that enables you to play live Internet radio streams from a variety of stations.
The program that comes with all the apple offerings is iTunes, which helps you to transfer your content to your Apple devices from your phone. On a Mac or Desktop, iTunes can be used. Nonetheless, very surprisingly, a number of reports have come in where users are unable to open the application on their Macs.
These reports indicate that either the app does not respond or only a few seconds after loading, it crashes. In this post, we will suggest some ways to permanently fix this problem and also educate you about the reasons why it happens.
