Error 5002 when trying to update applications?

I click on the applications tab on itunes, and see 5 updates available at the bottom right, I click that link and am presented with error 5002. Why is this?

AOL accounts in general seem to have a lot of problems with iTunes. I too have issues when trying to update my apps. I tried to sign out and sign back in with my Apple ID instead, and it told me I had no available updates under that account.
When I tried to sign back into my AOL iTunes account, it told me that the screen name had never previously been used with iTunes before. After scratching my head, I tried to sign back in again - this time typing my username in lowercase letters, and sure enough, it suddenly worked.
It seems that Apple has major issues managing AOL accounts on iTunes. Not only is the App Store screwed up for AOL account owners, but apparently it handles usernames as case sensitive, which is definitely not right.
Unfortunately I think most Apple software engineers are too busy trying to fix MobileMe to give this issue much attention. I'm sure somebody must've reported it by now...

  • I keep getting an error message when trying to update applications on my Mac.

    For a few weeks now, whenever I get the pop up message that there's an update available for something and I click through to go update, it asks me to log in and then gives me this error message:
    I click Okay and nothing happens.
    I am sure I'm signing in with my current Apple ID. However, I wonder if the problem relates to the issues I had after I got my first iPhone in November. When I first got it, the tech set it up with the Apple ID I had created for my daughter to use for her iPod a few years ago. Since I used my own email address and I don't want her apps, I created a new one and reset my iPhone. That was all before this error message started popping up.
    Can anyone help me fix this? I want to be able to update my computer applications.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ appstore.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

    I receive an error message when trying to update any of my applications.  Example  facebook, my world..etc...
    Error 40820 try later

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    While normally it is much more accurate to search with the accurate and complete error message, including all punctuation and error codes, in your case here is a KB that discusses that error:
    KB28188"BlackBerry App World is having trouble connecting to the BlackBerry App World server. Verify your network connections and try again. (Error id: 40820) " error is displayed when opening App World on the BlackBerry smartphone
    Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was cancelled

    macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. 

    I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
    This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
    After making your backup try the following:
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
    Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • 'DOWNLOAD ERROR!' when trying to update InDesign CC

    'DOWNLOAD ERROR!' when trying to update InDesign CC 2012.
    There is no error 'code' number--just a 'RELOAD APPLICATIONS' button that does not do anything. 
    I've restarted and tried to update multiple times, I've uninstalled and then tried to reinstall--all to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Paul,
    Can you please attach the screen shot of the error what you get.

  • I get error 5002 when trying to redeem gift cards , what do I need to do to fix this.

    I get error 5002 when trying to redeem gift cards, what can I do to fix this?

    http://store.apple.com/us
    I have been trying to fix this myself and just found a way tonight. This started happening after I downloaded a new version. I tried several other approaches and was unsuccessful until I was directed to the support website.  I searched for 5002 error.  I chose specific conditions and alert message.  Then chose "Error 5002" which gave a little detail. 
    Basically I had to go to the above site and change my password and some other account information.  It didn't work when I tried in my actual ITUNES application.  I think because my account was so old and they upgraded some security items like stronger passwords etc., so the old stuff was no longer good enough.  I have now redeemed two gift cards.  I hope it helps.

    If one is downloading directly to the iPhone via WiFi, it doesn't matter what version of iTunes is on the computer.
    I decided to sync my phone to Outlook via iTunes.  First thing, iTunes discovered that 7.0.3 was not on my phone.  It asked if i wanted to install it.  I said, "yes", and VOILA!! 7.0.3 is now installed on my iPhone.
    So therein is the answer.  Have no idea what bug is in there to keep it from loading to some phones directly via WiFi, but obviously, it is something!!
    There is no bug.  While you can update your iOS via wi-fi, it's recommended to do so via USB & iTunes.  Depending on your wi-fi connection & singal strength, you can get errors.  That's not a function specifically of the device.

  • On My Mac Pro Getting an unknown error message when trying to update apps

    On My Mac Pro Getting an unknown error message when trying to update apps To Perchase Mountain Lion

    Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again and see if that works for you.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sign in again -Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign in.
    If that doesn't work either, reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Keep getting error 4002 when trying to update Genius

    I haven't seen anyone write about getting error 4002 when trying to update genius in itunes. I select update genius and it gathers information and sends it to the itunes store I assume. And then waits a few seconds and then I get the following message "Genius results can't be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (4002) Please try again later." I've been getting this message for well over a month and I keep hoping they'll be an update or somehow it will magically be fixed, but nothing has changed. Anyone have any insight on this one?
    The current ituned library it 123GB and is stored on external drives. It should also be noted that when I first turned on genius when it was released it went through this whole problem without a hitch. I just can't update Genius with any of the music I've added since then. I can't even get genius to recognize music that I got from the itunes store since I've had the problem.

    Be careful - this was a disaster for me. Once I did this, I got a different error - an error 4010 and in trying to recover, caused a lot of library issues that forced me to go to a backup to fix. You'll find a lot of people having the 4010 problem. Basically iTunes Genius is a disaster and Apple isn't fixing it.

  • I am trying to install Photoshop CS6 onto Mac 10.9.5 and get Error:16 when trying to launch application??

    Anyone know how I can get Photoshop CS6 running on Mac 10.9.5 - I get error:16 when trying to run application after a complete removal and re-install??

    Other Adobe programs should not cause this error.
    Try this:  Open Terminal,
    copy/paste this into Terminal at the command prompt:  sudo chmod -R 777 /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe
    Press enter, and if asked enter your password.
    Try opening Photoshop again.
    If you do suspect older files, use the CS Cleaner

  • Error 6 when trying to update firmware

    Getting Error 6 when trying to update firmware

    Probably no need for concern, but it would be a good idea to run the update again, just in case everything did not "stick".
    Always connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule whenever you do an update....if at all possbile.
    Once the update is done, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.
