Searching for artist's music in iTunes.

I recently downloaded macOS Big Sur on my computer. Since then whenever I search for music by any artist in the iTunes Store, nothing happens, it just show me the magnifying glass and say it is searching, but nothing happens and the page turns blank. How do I fix this, or what is causing this issue?

It seems that I can connect to iTunes, but now that my MacOs is updated to Big Sur, whenever I search for a certain artist, it always goes to Apple Music now. I do not like that, as I would like to go to iTunes when searching. If I click the tab to search on iTunes, nothing happens. Problem not solved.

RodneyWilliam,


Thanks for those additional details.


Next, start the Mac in safe mode, and see if you're able to search as expected there: How to use safe mode on your Mac


Also, create a new user account, and check for the issue again: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Thanks!
