[OS X TeX] itemize and \pageref

[Sime Ungar]

I have a rather long itemized list extending several pages, each \item labeled differently, and in other parts of my document I want to use \pageref to link (I am using the hyperref package) the page of the corresponding \item. The number of the respective page produced by \pageref is correct, but clicking the link opens the page of the first \item which is several pages before the correct page. This occurs regardless of whether I use MacTeX 2017 or 2018. How should I make the correct link?

BTW, \pageref links to pages outside itemize work OK. 

Any help is welcomed,
Best,
