iTunes crashing since Sierra upgrade

[Bart_Gunn]

Hi
Since upgrading to OS Sierra, iTunes constantly crashes. I cannot restart my Mac-mini (2012) without physically holding the power key to get it to shut down as iTunes prevents it from shutting down even after using 'force quit'. I have reinstalled iTunes & reinstalled Sierra, but the issue still reoccurs. I've been trying to fix this for weeks now with no improved results.
After I manually reboot, I am able to open and use iTunes, but if I leave the application open and idle, it crashes 'app not responding' and I am back into the above cycle.
Please help!
Thank you
Kristian Gunn
PS - Tried restoring to factory settings method also!

I would verify it's not the hard drive. Run Disk Utility First Aid. It'll either verify it's ok or fix most issues if there are any. My system kept crashing too until I realized it was my HD.

Does the same thing happen in safe mode? Or in a new user?
