Progress (of a sort).  I have borrowed a Macbook Air and the CD player plays 
CDs through this quite happily.  Operating system on the Air is 10.14.1 (iMac 
10.14.2) and iTunes is 12.9 (12.9.2.5 on the iMac)
The problem therefore appears to be with iTunes probably being corrupted on the 
iMac.  Any advice on how to reinstall iTunes without having to reinstall the OS.
Thanks
Barry
