Error -9808 when trying to purchase

When i try and purchase a song i get an error message "an unknown error occured (-9808). There was an error in the iTunes store. Try again later". I got this yesterday and thought it was just a glitch but it is still happening. Any suggestions what the problem is?

    I get an error message when trying to purchase addtional icloud storage.  All of my credit card and account information is up to date.

    This behavior was described here many times.
    Apple delivered a technote about that.
    Go to my public BOX (address below)

    uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Expand the archive then run the script.
    After that, reinstall the application (or the entire package)
    If you bought Pages thru the Mac App Store, there is no need to pay one more time.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

    Apple appears to be having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to fix it.

  • Has anyone heard of error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?

    Has anyone run into error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?

    I had this problem just recently.
    I discovered that the problem was located here: ROOT / Users / Shared  -- if you open that and the "adi" folder has a little red minus symbol in its corner, your permissions have somehow been lost. (If you can't see your root directory, open Finder Preferences and, under sidebar, check "Hard disks." That will make your root drive visible.)
    If the "adi" folder has the red minus symbol, right-click the folder and select GET INFO.
    Sharing & Permissions is probably set to "System: Read & Write | wheel: Read Only | everyone: No Access"
    If so, your user account has no permissions, and that means iTunes can't use the folder properly.
    To fix this, first unlock the folder using the padlock icon in the bottom-right corner of "get info." You will have to supply your admin password to do this.
    Then click the little + sign in the bottom left corner to add a user, and select your user ID from the list of choices. Give yourself Read & Write permissions. (Alternatively, you could change the permissions of "everyone" to Read & Write; others have done that, but I was leery of doing it).
    Re-lock the folder when you're done.
    Hopefully that will solve it.

    If you used iTunes on your computer to download the app, suggest you download the app using your iPad. Should then install correctly.

  • Error occurs when trying to purchase Dreamweaver subscription - Time out error

    Hi there
    I am trying to purchase Dreamweaver subscription with my Master Card and when I accept terms and proceed to pay a message box pops up, see screen capture below:
    Could this be my Master Card or is there something else perhaps on Adobe's side that causes this error.

    Hi
    There are a number of possibilities, (not including an Adobe server problem).
    You have taken too long between entering your details and entering your card details.
    You used the browsers 'back' button for some reason.
    You have cookies turned off.
    For the first item - The application times out when a user takes more time that set between completing the form and entering their card details. This is done as a security measure.
    The second item - The use of the back button causes problems as the data sent to the server is duplicated, (often the use of the back button invalidates a purchase process).
    The third item - Cookies are required in order for the purchase process to take place.

  • Why do I keep getting an "error 5002" when trying to purchase my wish list?

    Why do I keep getting a "error 5002" while attempting to purchase my iTunes wishlist?

    I've been trying to figure this out for the past four days myself. I tried everything I could to reset my account information since most of the forums indicated the problem was with my payment information. That didn't ring true for me because I regularly make purchases with no problem. In my case, the problem was that one of the songs I was trying to purchase had been purchased previously. I found this out when I went to each song in my wish list individually and hit the buy button. Surprisingly, each song was purchased and downloaded successfully. When I got to the sixth song or so in my wishlist, iTunes told me that I had already purchased that song and asked if I wanted to download it again. I said yes. I then hit the buy all button for the remaining songs (the behavior that had not worked previously and generated the 5002 error) and the download happened properly.
    I realize that the 5002 error seems to be generated by multiple issues, but that is what worked for me. Perhaps you could try the same approach and see what happens if you haven't already resolved your issue. Good luck.
