When I try to open ITunes or Image Capture I get this: < You can’t open the application “iTunes.app” (and "Image Capture" because it is being updated. >
What's the solution?
iMac 27", macOS 10.13
Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities corgidogdave,
I see that you're getting an error when trying to open iTunes or Image Capture. I understand your concern, and I'd be happy to help.
Since both of these apps are part of the macOS, you'd need to reinstall the software. Make sure that you have a backup of your data before reinstalling. The articles below will guide you through these steps, if needed.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day!
Hello i_rina, thanks for your effort to help me.
I read both articles, and then proceeded to try to follow the directions in "Reinstall macOs".
There are 3 different things to try after a Restart.
I tried each one and none would work. I got to a point where the Reinstall Utility opened up, clicked it, and then got a dialog box that said "Server Cannot Be Reached." My WiFi is on, and working for other apps.
I also found you can't delete and reinstall iTunes and Image Capture separately or alone because they are required by the macOS.
I'm stumped. I have not yet called Apple Support for a phone call with a technician, but I think it may be time.
Thanks, ~ Dave
