Itunes freezes and gives "unknown error -1202"

How do I solve this? When I sign out of one account to get into another, iTines freezes and must be shut down. Also when I try to access anything in my account or even "redeem" gift cards, then it gives the unknown error -1202.

Well get this....
I have been emailing Apple about the problem, and "Vaibhav" has been no help what so ever, He asked me today to send him a photo of the itunes gift card (code and all) which I think is a little suspect..
I have actually fixed the issue of the gift card myself, I signed into itunes on my parents computer and entered the code, and its now showing in my account.
The problem now (this feels like its never going to end) is that when i have tried to purchase an album (+ by Ed Sheeran fyi) itunes asks me to accept an updated terms of service, i tick the box and click accept, and the bloody 1202 message pops up again:
"We could not complete your iTunes request. An unknown error occured (-1202). There was an error with the iTunes store, please try again later"
I'm getting seriously wound up now with this problem, I've reinstalled itunes twice since christmas, and honestly i feel like apple are just mugging me off!
I've replied to apple with pretty much the post i've just written, now i'll await their reply.........

This forum is for questions from people who administer iTunes U sites. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iTunes or iPod forums.

Try this first - 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.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Adobe XI, freezes and gives an error about Adobe 10 not working.

I have adobe XI. I am trying to read PDFs off an exe but it keeps saying "flash player 10.0 r2 has stopped working" and it stops responding. I cannot close the window unless I do a reboot. This exe runs fine from my husband's PC and his is the same version of reader as mine. I already tried the unchecking of the protected mode (although his is still checked) but no luck. I even uninstalled, tried 9.5, uninstalled that and retried XI...still no luck. Sometimes it will open one PDF but then it freezes and won't respond again. Any advice?

No videos, just PDFs with text :/
I also don't have flash player 10, I have flash player 14.
It's why I don't understand the weird error.

Bridge freezes and gives cache error

Recently, I have been having an issue with Bridge CS6. Every time I start Bridge, I get a message that says "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation".
After following all these instructions, still no change. I re-installed the entire application and still no results.
I am using OS 10.9.4
Any ideas....

Try this, it worked for me.
Hold option and command key together while opening Bridge. Reset settings window appears. click "Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache". See if this works. (OS 10.7.5)

I have this same problem. It's like it is not Authorizing this Mac.
What happens when you try to listen to a preview on the Music Store?
Mine asks me to authorize again and gives me the error exactly as you said above.
What happens when you try to view your account information (in Music Store, click on your account name in the top right corner)?
Mine lets me authorize sucessfully and shows me my account information.
I have emailed iTunes support about this and they replied with a generic answer about Deauthorizing and re-authorizing the computer.
I even tried, to no avail, the tips here...

Instructions to get the phone back working temporary.. till there is a real fix.
1. turn off the phone
2. fire up iTunes
3. press and hold the home button, plug in the cable, hold till you get to see the recovery mode
4. iTunes will the allow to choose restore the phone back to 5.0.1 ( no other choice)
5. iTunes will then ask you to choose which previous backup to would like to recover.
(note: please do not reboot your phone unless necessary, i realize at times after reboot, it goes back to sq1)

I just recently downloaded iTunes and whenever I try to access the store It says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). I have windows xp and it's running on service pack 2. I have downloaded and redownloaded iTunes many times. I'm getting very frustrated! Please help!

I have the same error for Windows Vista. I read all the community posts and followed the suggested fixes including numerous uninstalls and installs, clearing cache, choosing various SSL TL options, turning off all spyware and nothing has worked. My internet works fine for all my other programs so not sure what is going on with Itunes. I will not buy anymore products through
Apple Itunes.

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
