I can't buy new music because of "Unknown error (5002)"

im not too computer smart and i need help. I can't buy new songs for iTunes because of error 5002 (i have windows). The website doesn't have any help for that error s im asking all of you:). Please help!

I had the same problem. Although I did get 7.1 to work for a while and then suddenly all podcasts coming errored with 39. Also despite Windows recognising my iPod, itunes would never pick it up unless I went into service and manullay stopped and started the ipodservice.
Anyhow gone back to iTunes version 6. Will wait for iTunes 7.2 for one final try.....before giving up.

  • Problem sync with iphone could not transfer music because of unknown error -5000

    windows Itunes will not sync my music with Iphone 4s because of unknown error (-5000)    ?????

    Are you using the latest version of iTunes? 
     See if there is a solution in the PDF user manual:  iPod Manuals

  • Can't buy apps/music from my pc.

    A while a go, itunes asked me to create a "second password" for extra protection for my itunes account, but I was so stupid to just fill in something weird that I never can remember... And here is the problem, I want to buy myself some games for my ipad, but filesize exceeds the 50MB limit, so I went to my pc to download the games, first it ask me to fill in my normal password, and after that it wants my "second password" but I don't remeber that password anymore..
    When I buy something with my ipad, it never ask for the "second password" so I called Apple, and they say that they can do nothing for me, because they can't identify my as the owner of the account, they want me to add a creditcard number, only via that way they can help me, but I don't have a credit card anyway near.
    When I buy myself a new apple product, I won't be able to buy new music or apps....
    Is it possible when I open a new account, and ask apple to transfer all my data to my new account?
    When I have to buy all my music and apps once again, that is going to cost me hundreds of euros, or can I use 2 accounts on 1 device?......
    Thanks in advance.

    You can't transfer content from one account to another account, so creating a new account wouldn't gain you much.
    Do you mean that it's the security questions/answers that you can't remember (they are asked when you try to buy something for the first time on a new computer) ? If you do then if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).

  • ITunes 9... I can't buy any music!

    I want to buy some music... I really do... but I can't! iTunes hangs when I want to view an album, hit the "back" button, or do much of anything in the iTunes Store. It says it is accessing the iTunes Store, and the progress bar goes about half way, then stops. Eventually it times out and drops the action. Very slow. Anyone else have this problem? It seems very buggy, I'm suprised this was released this way.

    i just upgraded to v9, and now i can't buy any music either. i get "accessing itunes store" when i hit "buy this," then it just hangs.
    the last time i upgraded itunes, it refused to recognize my iphone, so i couldn't upgrade to iphone os3. the apple store geniuses and apple support told me i was the only one having this problem - then a week later apple issued a general fix for "problems with recognizing devices." hmmm.....
    so, i'm thinking i agree with you- let's wait a bit when releasing new versions - this is tedious.

  • With an empty iTunes but a music-filled phone, how can I get new music to the iTunes then to my phone without deleting the music on my phone?

    The computer I had all of my iTunes music on recently got a virus and was completley wiped. I will now be attempting to use my laptop for iTunes, which I just installed. But now my iPhone 4 has 150+ songs and my iTunes has none. I know I cannot transfer my music from iPhone->iTunes, but can I download new music to my iTunes, then sync my phone and not lose all my music? I am basically asking if I have only 20 songs on my iTunes that aren't on my phone, is there a way to sync and add the music from iTunes to my phone (already has music on it) without replacing it with everything I have on it?
    Thank you so much!

    You can't. Sorry. In order to sync with a new iTunes library, the media on the phone will be wiped.
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be re-downloaded at no charge. Anything else will have to be restored from the last backup of your computer before it was wiped or you will need to purchase 3rd party software to try and extract the music from the phone.

  • I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred" HOW do I fix this?

    Every time I try to download the new version it just says I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred - Try saving to disk first and then opening the file"

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • How can I add new music to my ipod without losing the music already loaded on another computer

    I Can't load new music onto iPod with my new computer without losing all that is already there.

    That is correct, you can only sync your iPod to one library at a time.

    Thanks, but unfortunately, this is not a message, it is the HTML page that it shown after a student registers for a course. I can see how to preview it at
    but I can't edit it here, nor anywhere else I can find...note that I am looking the "Registration Confirmation" link (last one).

    Go back to the article you asked this question from and pick a method of contacting Apple. Posting in these boards isn't one of them.

    Import the music on the external HD into iTunes.  If you don't want iTunes to make a new copy of each track that is stored in your iTunes Media folder on your PC's internal HD, make sure the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library option is NOT ticked from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences.  Just remember that if you go this route, you'll always need to have your external HD plugged in before you start up iTunes.
