Hello,

I'm prepared to be the weird one again while nobody else has issues, but just in
case:
I just recently tried to use iTunes on my Mac and it is constantly going Busy
Busy Busy.
Anybody know why this might be? Is there view or other settings that are best
for us? I was just trying to find content in iTunes Radio, and at one point had
gone online using Safari and clicked on a link to a pls file or something to open
in iTunes. It would play all right but I couldn't move around the controls using
VoiceOver.

Again after the thread of a few posts saying they have never heard of this,
hopefully someone has some idea lol

Mac Mini late 2014 model with 8 GB RAM and 1 TB SATA hard drive latest El
Capitan 10.11.2 I think it is.

i haven't had that problem, but you might want to try quitting and restarting
ITunes. Sometimes it just takes a while to load? not really sure.

It just had a recent update. Install that and see if it doesn't fix your issues.

This has been happening to me on my 2012 Macbook Air.
I have no clue either.
Just wanted you to know that you are not the only one here having this issue.

Thanks.
I don't know how to do updates except to use the Updates item in the toolbar
on App Store. I go to the Apple menu and select App Store then Updates. Is
iTunes updated separately?
I do like the fact you can run Airplay from iTunes itself so the VoiceOver sound
doesn't go to the Apple TV.

Yes I had done a Quit and Restart, and even now set it up to come up on login,
something I hadn't done before.
I guess it's pretty bad when you can't even move around, even if you turn off
cursor tracking. I had thought maybe the cursor tracking was causing it to try
and move focus to places.

Guess there's no ready answer. lol can't even find one on AppleVis or best
settings for iTunes or any such things.

It seems to be a feature of using the mac: unlike Windows, if you run into
something strange, nobody else does and there's no response that anyone can
give. Lol just like the Safari issue. I certainly like it nonetheless as a home
computer but this has been my observation.

You can remove programs from the Mac just like Windows, right?
What if you remove it, then go directly to iTunes.com and install it fresh?

The difference is on the Mac it's one of the core apps.

Okay. Understood.
Seems Apple would help with your issue?

I'd call up apple accessibility to see if they can assist. I haven't really seen this before, but agree with whoever said quit iTunes, then relaunch it.
