  • Error 1202 with iTunes Store and Windows Vista

    When I try to redeem music on iTunes Store, or access my account, etc. I receive "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
    I have read many similar posts and tried many fixes (checked time/date on my computer, made sure LAN proxy settings is unchecked, turned off my Norton firewall, tried to access iTunes Store in safe mode, etc.). None of these worked. Please help as we would like to purchase music from the iTunes store and have done so successfully in the past on this computer.

    This problem is related to having your computer, Apple device, etc
    (from your current physical location) being unable to resolve/connect to
    the following site/domain names and their related IP address(s).
    The following table is presented to help explain/clarify this issue:
    Site/Domain name | IP Address
    phobos.apple.com | 17.250.237.43
    deimos3.apple.com | 206.169.246.144
    albert.apple.com | 17.149.240.64
    gs.apple.com | 17.151.36.30
    itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.171
    ax.itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.139
    If ANY of these sites/IP address are unresolvable (via PING for example)
    then the ability/usability of Apple's iTunes (and the Store) will suffer.
    To have yourself verify that (if) you can connect to these sites, you'll
    need to open up a MSDOS/Command prompt window
    and then type "ping" (without the quotes) and one of the (above) listed sites.
    For example you would type the following at your command prompt:
    ping phobos.apple.com (then press the return/enter key)
    which (should) give you results like this:
    pinging phobos.apple.com.akadns.net http://17.250.237.43 with 32 bytes of data:
    Note: Anyt response other than "reply" (like Request timed out)
    indicates a problem resolving the site's name to an IP address
    and (generally) has NOTHING to do with your (normally functioning) computer
    as this is dependent on the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that you are
    using to connect to the Internet (like Sprint, Insightbb, etc) with.
    The 'key' here is that it's the ISP's responsibility to (properly) resolve
    the site's name to (one or more of) Apple's sites.
    If (however) Apple (itself) is (currently) experiencing a DDOS attack
    (Distributed Denial Of Service) upon one (or more) of it's sites, then THAT
    would explain a possible cause of the problem.
    However I stress THAT is NOT the problem since I can connect from my Insightbb
    (ISP provider) at home but (currently) can not connect at work via their ISP.
    This is (also) WHY the "tag" of the FQDNSN (Fully-Qualified DNS Name)
    is listed as http://akadns.net since that is the ISP/Router resolving the DNS name!
    I hope that this has helped shed some light as to WHo's problem this REALLY is,
    and will help to stop the Apple-User 'finger-pointing' game in it's tracks!

  • Has anyone else experienced error 1202 on itunes store?

    I am using windows vista and everytime I try to either redeem a voucher or buy anything off iTunes I get the error message (-1202).  Has anyone else had this message and do you know how to fix it?

    Just want the ads gone... I am in touch with Apple Support team and I will post any updates here. They are currently aware of the issue and I sent screen captures, steps I tried to resolve the issue and a link to this discussion. Please post if you are having this issue so we can have a clearer picture of the devices involved. So far I have only witnessed ads on non iOS devices running the newest version of iTunes 12.0.1.26. I use iTunes Radio on my iPhone in my car and have not heard any ads. Looking at those who have posted it appears to be both PC and Mac.

  • TS3297 itunes 10.6.1 now asking for 3 security questions. After input I get "error in the itunes store -1202". I cannot purchase from the store.

    Running Vista Ultimate. Itunes 10.6.1 is now asking to answer 3 security questions before accessing the store. After entry I get "error in the itunes store -1202" I cannot purchase music at this point. Any help is appreciated.

    This problem is resolved. I deleted the old iTunes (with write permissions turned on for my account) and reinstalled successfully. Removing the deleted iTunes from Trash was troublesome even with root but after playing around with permissions and flags, I was able to remove it.

  • Error -1202 in iTunes for Mac SOLVED with upgrade to Mountain Lion

    I recently had lots of trouble with iTunes and error -1202; my summary to Apple support is excerpted below.  Turns out the problem has gone away after updating my OS from Lion to Mountain Lion.  I still don't know what -1202 is, but the problem's gone.  Sympathies to those whose machines can't upgrade to Mountain Lion.  
    Here's what I wrote to Apple: 
    I'm having difficulty connecting to the iTunes Store.  When I click on virtually any link in the store, a popup window comes up stating "We could not complete your iTunes store request.  An unknown error occurred (-1202).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later."
    I'm using a MacBook Air purchased new at the beginning of this year.  OSX 10.7.5.  I've had the same result trying to get at the Store with this machine from different sites (i.e. work and home).  I'm able to use my wife's Mac (we share the same account on two machines) to access the store without difficulty.  I can purchase something on her Mac and download it to my MacBook Air, but I can't make the purchase--or even navigate in the Store--with my machine.  I've confirmed that the time on my machine is correct, and all the billing information for the account is up to date.  I thought I'd wait to contact you until I had a chance to update iTunes, but the problem persists with iTunes 11.  I've found many references to the -1202 error in the Apple website's discussion area, but none of them have solutions.
    Then in follow up to Apple: 
    I am still having difficulties, and I think I've identified a larger issue.  I can't use my machine to navigate the iTunes store with my Apple ID, and I can't use that same Apple ID to access the App Store, FaceTime, or photo ordering in iPhoto. 
    I mentioned in my first email to you that my wife's MacBook Pro uses the same Apple ID, and we can use her computer to do all of the functions that the other machine can't:  I can get to FaceTime, the iTunes Store, the App Store, and photo ordering in iPhoto. 
    I also created a completely new Apple ID, which has been OK'd by the AppleID website, and it doesn't work on my machine, either. 
    To summarize:  I know the Apple ID works, but there's something about my computer that isn't using it correctly. 

    You can use the balance of a redeemed iTunes gift card to purchase Mountain Lion.
    Keep in mind of any applicable taxes and or fees that may be added to the purchase price.

  • I keep getting the follow error messages when I try to sign into iTunes store or redeem a song code: We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again

    I keep getting the following error messages on my Mac when I try to redeem a song code: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later."  and then, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

    Hello, constance132. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when receiving error -50. 
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

  • "We could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later."

    When I try to open the home page in my Itunes I get the message "we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection is not be established. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later." It had been working just fine, in fact I had just purchased a song & edited my itunes account. Could changing the name on my account have cause the error message or is something else going on? This is a brand new computer.

    I've got an Apple ID problem, too. All of the sudden in the midnight between August 31st and September 1st, the new apps I picked up on the App Store hung forever 'Waiting..' in my iPhone and never turned 'Loading'. When a substantial amont of time had passed, they reported, they 'could not connect to the App Store' and .. disappeared! Well what they told was not perfectly true because I could however connect to the store as I could browse and pick the apps, but the apps just didn't load. I tried to log into my account in iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop, too, and there got exactly the message in the topic title.
    It appeared later my Apple ID did not completely fail because when I switched from my home WiFi to the phone 3G, everything worked just as nothing happened. Logically, this intimated my WiFi had flaws. Or, some place between my WiFi router and Apple servers did, to be precise. My router was not to blame because I did no changes to it whatsoever.
    All right, it is Saturday today and my ISP is running in unmanned mode meaning no hotline, but I call them on Monday unless the problem disappears by itself. I just wonder what I say, because from non-i-world point of view everything works well, and I know for sure guys in the ISP support don't own any i-stuff, (because they are all android fanatics) . I'm not telling them my Apple ID to let them reproduce the problem on their home equipment, which means I come almost totally proofless.

  • "There was an error in the iTunes Store" Error -50

    Hi:
    I've been having a lot of internet-related problems on my Mac these past couple of months. The newest one is this, I keep getting an error trying to connect to the iTunes store. It appears at random times when I try connecting to the iTunes store, usually more so at night. So you know exactly what I'm getting (hopefully the image will load):
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (-50).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    I've been noticing it's been becoming more and more frequent, in fact I haven't been able to connect since last night.
    I've disabled the firewall, and am using the most recent version of iTunes. My ISP is Comcast.

    Hello,
    I just figured out my problem. I was just looking at Parental Controls and I turned them on for my account. It looks like just turning them messes with iTunes. I could visit the app store and the latino and movie store but the main page of the iTunes store was unavailable. I could visit the different genres stores but the main page of the iTunes and Podcast was unavailable. This has to be a bug in Parental Controls. If it is just turned on for an account the main page of the iTunes store is unavailable and you get an error -50. When I turned off the Parental Controls for my account everything worked fine. Hope this helps you.

  • There was an error in the iTunes store.  Please try again later.

    For the last few weeks, the iTunes store has been displayed with empty graphic rectangles (with a blue box containing a white question mark centered in the rectangles), bits of text, and some buttons. The page extends quite a ways, including what I assume would be all the links to all the music Apple would like to sell me, etc.
    When I click on any of the missing graphics rectangles or any of the links, I get a dialog box that reads: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The requested resource was not found. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
    If I click on any of the buttons, nothing happens.
    This has been going on through several recent upgrades. I'm now on 9.0.2.25 and this problem still hasn't been resolved.
    Everything else seems to work. Even Genius continues to offer me suggestions (I haven't tried to buy any, but at least it's matching things correctly and displaying correctly). I can play all my songs just fine. It's just the iTunes store that is completely useless.
    How do I correct this?

    If all you are trying to do is buy music, you can easily buy MP3s at any online music download store (e.g. amazon.com) and add them to your iTunes library.
