An unknown error occurred (5002) and Connection timed out issue(s)

Next issue that I have since upgrading to Ver 8 of iTunes:
When trying to make a purchase I get either one of two different problems/errors -- 1.) Following pop-up “Could not purchase song. An unknown error occurred (5002)” or 2.) I get a “connection timed out” pop-up stating there could be a problem with my internet/network connection.
As far as there being an issue with my modem or internet, well...there isn’t one that I can detect. I am able to do everything else in iTunes (download samples, surf the pages, etc.) so my connection seems ok generally speaking.
If someone could get in touch with that super-hip kid in the Mac commercials and tell him to fix all of these problems with iTunes ver 8 that would be great! Honestly, any other issues I have with Vista are typically easy to fix. iTunes is the one piece of software that seems to cause me the most issues and there is very little support from Apple. Seems sort of strange for a company who claims such stability in their products. What gives?
Sorry for the rant...just frustrated.

Ok, two seconds after making this post I think I fixed the problem (fingers crossed). I read on a quazi-related post that iTunes was now requiring security codes off credit cards for purchases. Personally I don't use a credit card but I went in to my account just to make sure. The 1st time I tried to access my account I got the 5002 error, the 2nd time I was able to access my account w/o any issue. I did not make any changes to my account at all (just browsed around a bit and made sure everything was ok). After exiting my account I was able to make a purchase. Hey, whatever...right? Of course on my next purchase it will probably throw up some new error. Anyway, try this if you have the same problem.

    So you already followed these steps?
    This alert is often the result of an issue with verifying your billing.
    Quit iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Test the issue.
    If it persists, sign in to store.apple.com using your iTunes account
    Click on Change account information
    Modify or remove your credit card information.
    Click Continue.
    Test the issue.
    If you have I'd try calling AppleCare back and telling the it is error 5002 and already tried troubleshooting steps as listed in TS3297 and that you have already tried to email iTunes support and have yet to recieve a response.

  • Cannot update to latest software. error message states internet connection timed out

    Does anyone have a similar problem? I cannot update to the latest software for my I Phone 4. The error message says, internet connection timed out. Which is obviously has not. It also says check your internet settings. I am not sure what that means. I have windows 7.

    If the disabling the firewall doesnt help, then also try disabling your anti-virus, this was what was causing me an issue.
    Although make sure you re-enable both your firewall and anti-virus after the update completes.

  • When starting the Add-on: Connection timed out issue

    When starting the Add-on: Connection timed out issue
    Hi,
    We have a client in SAP 2005 PL 44.
    I built the add-on for them using simple installer wizard ( I tried advanced set-up also).
    When starting the add-on, I get the message 'Connection Timed Out'.
    Add-on status is failed.
    But the add-on is actually connected. i.e, The functionality associated with the add-on is working fine.
    I had SAP 2007 before and un/reinstalled SAP 2005 in order to connect with this client.
    I had built the same add-on in a similar way for the same client for lot many times in the past, but I never got this issue.
    I tried the following:
    1) Delete SM_OBS_DLL and un/reinstall DI API
    2) un/reinstall B1DE
    Always I'm getting this error.
    Please let me know your inputs.
    Thanks.

  • Consume external web service and experience connection timed out issue

    Hi all,
    I followed tutorial:http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_14/jdtut_11r2_14.html to consume external web service.
    At step 2,substep 4, I experience the following error:
    "DCA-40002: The WSDL document is invalid due to the following reason: WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Failed to read wsdl file at:"http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx?WSDL". Caused by : java.net.ConnectException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect."
    I have tried to set up proxy:Tools > Preferences->Web Browser and Proxy. But it still doesn't work. Any idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I have tried these 2 tutorials before. Both worked well. Publish an web service by myself, then consume it with a client. It works. But for this external wsdl published by USA weather forecast, it doesn't work. Navigate to http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx?WSDL through firefox, and right response is returned. I wonder why connection timed out occurred and how to deal with it.
    Could you please share your experience with me? Thanks.
    Thanks.

  • JDBC Lookup in PI 7.1 - SELECT ? FROM DUAL and Connection timed out

    Hi,
    We have a scenarios (Idoc to JMS) with JDBC lookup. We have used graphical JDBC lookup functionality.
    We are reading country names for a given country code from SAP in an external database table. The query is so simple. That  should not take much time
    Now the actual issues is,
    When we are executing the scenario, its taking quite a long time. Almost 6 minutes to excute a mapping. Which causing high performance issue in the Porduction.
    We started the inviestigation about found some interesting stuff. Here we have used Willy Introscope for the investigation.
    1. First few messages are taking quite a long time. LIke 6 minutes per messages. As i can see in the log i am getting below error in Willy,
    I dont know why PI is executing below queury apart from real secelt query to fetch the country name. I am getting below error: Error Message: Backends|ABCD2 mydatabase01-1526 (Oracle DB)|SQL|Dynamic|Query|SELECT ? FROM DUAL: java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection timed out
    2. After couple of messages, interface works very normal. I mean rest of the messages works pretty fine.
    Please let me know if you have any idea about this error. What could be the problem for the issue.
    Thank you in advnace.
    Best Regards,
    Prasad.

    Did you check how many SQL requests were executed per one message ? Do you have a log of these SQL requests ?
    I assume that the country table is quite small, so that lookup should not be an issue.
    About this:
    >Message: Backends|ABCD2 mydatabase01-1526 (Oracle DB)|SQL|Dynamic|Query|SELECT ? FROM DUAL: >java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection timed out
    1. I only know SELECT * FROM DUAL, not SELECT ? FROM DUAL. Better use the former
    2. the exception means that the database server can not be reached => check your network configuration
    So I assume that there is a network (performance) problem between PI and this Oracle server. Or the Oracle Server is so overloaded that it has (sometimes) problems in processing new requests.
