This solved my questionRe: iTunes Error (-1202) 
Dec 28, 2012 6:35 PM (in response to crossi85)
I am having the same issue on my iMac.  It occurred after the last iTunes update.  Apple support offered no real solution.  They tried "clearing" my Wish List, but that didn't work, and advised me to re-install iTunes.  However, I tried clicking the "My Wish List" link on the right side of the iTunes Home page, instead of the one I usually use under the "Manage" column near the bottom of the screen - and it worked!  Furthermore, my Wish List was still intact even though they had supposedly cleared it.  So, in my case, the problem appears to be the iTunes site, and not my computer.  My solution: Try accessing the Wish List from a different link within iTunes.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Error -1202 in itunes store

    Hey all, so i am tending to get this pop up a lot even when just playing music off itunes. but when i'm trying to access my purchases i can't and the pop up says - "We could not complete your itunes request. An unknown error has occured (-1202)" anyone know how to fix this?

    Can you go to the iTunes store on the computer?
    Otherwise I do not know what to do. I can't find that error number in any Apple articles or in a Google search.

  • 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.

  • I can't get my itunes store to work, it keeps giving the error (-1202)

    Hello,
    I'm really frustrated as I cannot get my itunes store to work, I've had problems with it for a while now and only just manged to get past one error, (error -9808), only to now get the error -1202. I'm running the most up to date version of itunes as I have just downloaded it, (I know it worked as I can now see the cloud feature on the menu), but no images appear on any of the interfaces; only small blue boxes with question marks in them. Plus all the text appears in a plain font that I know is not how it should appear. My own music collection is perfectly accessible, it's just the itunes store that shows the error message. I have unchecked the 'check for server revocation' box in internet options and restarted, and have checked my date and time are correct. I've tried to use a root certificate update as suggested in older threads but can't find one accepted as 'current' to run.
    Any help appreciated, I really really need to update my iPhone, still on version 4.3.3 : (
    Thanks!

    Go to Settings >  App Store
    Tap on your Apple ID
    Sign out
    Sign back in with the correct ID and password.
    Then reboot your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any data or settings.
    See if you can use the App Store normally after your iPad comes back up.

    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.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie
