Hi Barry
Just a thought - last year I was having problems similar to this on my itunes 
(El Capitan) After a lot of messing around, I did a disc check on the internal 
hard disc where I have my itunes.  I recall a few errors appeared, so I 
replaced the hard drive and transferred itunes onto it and all is working fine 
now.  Just my two bob’s worth.

Good luck
Jewels
