Error -5002 iTunes will not accept feed

I am publishing my second podcast using iWeb and my .Mac account. However when I publish and submit the podcast to iTunes, after asking for my login iTunes gives me an error message saying that there is a problem with the iTunes store (error-5002) and that I should try again later. Of course trying again later has not worked. When I contacted Apple support via email they indicated that I should change the RSS feed's title and link which I have no idea how to do in iWeb. I did change the RSS feed url by changing the name of the pages in iWeb, but this produced no change in the error message.
I am otherwise able to use iTunes and able to publish to .Mac. I am also otherwise able to go to my site and hit the subscribe button which makes it appear in iTunes (at least using Firefox - in Safari it stalls). Any ideas would be great!
FYI- My feed is: itpc://rss.mac.com/nefserrano/iWeb/iPsycPodcast/VideoPage/rss.xml

Just as an update, the iTunes support person is finally involving other support personnel who presumably might check on their side (hopefully) for the problem. My guess is that this is not a random occurrence or an error in the feed itself. I'll be sure to post any response I get from them. Please be sure to do the same if you get any ideas that work.
Regarding the xml issue, I doubt that is a problem since I can get the feed to work (be heard) with iTunes manually (using iTunes essentially as an RSS reader). So, if iTunes can pick it up that way it stands to reason it should recognize the feed and link to it as a submission. Then again, I have a feeling reason has nothing to with this.

If you have the latest version of iTunes you should not have to download the ipsw file separately as jalp suggests. iTunes will download it automatically.
This error (9) most often means that your antivirus or firewall (or router) is blocking access to Apple's servers. In rare instances it can also mean that the phone was hacked (or "jailbroken") to unlock it. If this is the case you must do a DFU restore, not Recovery Mode, as follows:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall. If you has Kaspersky you may actually have to uninstall it, as it can never be turned completely off.
Connect the USB cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. DO NOT connect the other end to the phone
Disconnect all USB devices except for mouse, keyboard and iPhone cable.
Launch iTunes
On the phone hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for EXACTLY 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button. The screen should be black. If it has an Apple logo this means you held both buttons too long. Release the HOME button and do it again.
While holding the HOME button connect the free end of the cable to the phone.
After a short while iTunes should recognize a phone in "recovery mode" (iTunes doesn't know the difference between DFU and Recovery modes, but the phone does)
Release the HOME button and don't touch the phone or the computer until the process completes or you get an error message. Ignore any displays on the phone.
If the error recurs the phone was probably messed up when it was hacked. This is not a hardware problem, or if it is, it isn't one you can fix.
You can try repeating these steps with a different computer and a different cable. If that fails also the phone is probably not repairable.

I have moved from the UK to New Zealand and Itunes will not accept my new Zealand bank details, as a result nothing will work on my phone and I cant access emails!

Do you have a new Apple ID to use in NZ? If not open iTunes Store. Log out of your old Apple ID, then try to login. Select Create Apple ID from the dialog that appears. Make a new Apple ID for NZ with a NZ email address. Once that is approved and verified, log into the iTunes Store with the new Apple ID. This should fix all other issues.

ITunes will not accept my renewed credit card info.

My iTunes will not accept my renewed credit card information for verification of payment type, so I can't download any app

Ok. The only other things that come to mind is to ensure that the name on the card matches what you entered in iTunes, and that your street address matches. If it isn't those things, I got nothing.

Itunes will not accept a valid security code for my debitcard

Itunes will not accept my debit card info it keeps sayin that my security code on the back of my valid card is invalid.. Ive looked online an ive done what other people had said to do but nothing worked

You have to make sure your iTunes address and your cards billing address are exactly the same (including capitalization and spaces).
Or you could just run off gift cards.

Itunes will not accept my securty code and won't take any other card I submit

itunes will not accept my security code so I can not update or purchase even free aps and won't take another card- so what do you do?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Had an update error now itunes will not recognise my phone and it is frozen

I tried to update my iphone 3g tonight and it encountered an error. Now itunes will not recognise the phone and it is frozen on a screen telling me to connect it to itunes. I have turned it on and off and it remains stuck. I have restarted my computer and itunes and no change.

Hey- just went through something similar - and I'm sorry I don't have the perfect answer... bc mine did what you are saying except my itunes did recognize that "an iphone" was connected and so it suggested that I do a recovery-mode restore on it and then I did a back up restore via itunes to get my most recent back up transferred to my iphone, and then it finally listed my phone as "xxx's iphone" in itunes.... here's the link I used: http://www.copytrans.net/blog/how-to-restore-iphone-after-updating-to-ios-7/ and I also used: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
I think what you are saying is that itunes doesn't even recognize that your iphone is plugged in - so you can't start the recovery process? I DO know that in the hours of me muddling through the internet - googling this issue - that I did see other posts of those who plugged into itunes, and it didn't recognize their iphone, but they DID have suggestions on how to deal with the problem... while I don't have "the" solution, I wanted you to know I did see an answer out there - just skimmed past it as I was searching for mine... sorry I don't remember good luck!

Itunes will not accept my apple id password in the store.

when I enter the store in itunes 11.0.1, a message popps up telling me to enter my password to enable automatic downloads. When I enter the correct password, the same message pops back up instantly. If I enter the wrong password, it tells me so in red. I can not do anything with the store, because it will not accept my account. I can purchase on other devices with the same account and password with no problem.

You may need to do a credit card "update" in your account. Apparently "it" needed a re-verify because I had accessed my apple account from another computer. Did so and it worked. Apple is opaque in many ways and it was totally unhelpful as it just kept rejecting my good password with no explanation.
