    My dealer has tried and failed (twice) to correct this and I have tried deleting the two items in the Itunes folder but no luck!

    were you able to get help on this?  I need help on error 5002 as well.  thank you

  • Hey guys, I'm trying to update my itunes but it keeps on saying error, and when i try go onto itunes it keeps saying connection restarted!!

    update keeps saying error when i try download the new itunes and when i try and go onto my itunes it keeps saying connection restarted, check connection!! any help would be appreciated!!

    A few things to try.
    Download iTues from here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    and save it on your PC, it's generally best to do this if you are having problems.
    Try using a different browser for the download.
    If you are using a wifi connection, try a wired connection if you can.
    This problem has been associated with router problems also accessing the internet via a wireless dongle.
    Try restarting your router.
    But in the end if none of this helps the simplest thing is to get a friend to download iTunes for you and put it on a memory stick. Preferable checking that it works first.

  • Why is Square Enix music giving me error 5002 when I try to buy it?

    When I try buying Square Enix music, I am getting error 5002.

    It is not JUST Square Enix music that is causing the issue. Support does not seem to know the answer either, or they just do not want to admit that it clearly is an issue on their side.
    If you're experiencing the same issue as me, you can likely buy the whole album itself just fine, even if it's a bit more pricey than just getting individual ones.

  • Error 5002 when I try to buy new music

    I recently pre-ordered a song on the iTunes Store for iPhone 5, but when it was reappeared early the song came up as purchased on the store but not into personal purchases. When I logged onto my PC it recognised I needed to download it but kept coming up with error 5002? Does anyone know what I can do?

  • Unknown error -42408 when I try to authorize new PC to play old purchases

    I got a new computer and when I moved my iTunes purchases over, many of them cannot be played. I try to authorize them for this computer and it says "unknown error try again later (-42408)" This really blows because I seem to have lost a number of songs to this problem. Songs I purchased from other sites transferred fine. Any ideas?

    With that one, I'd try the following document. (On Windows 7, I'd start with the section about User Account Control.)

  • TS1389 It keeps coming up with an Error message when I try to Authorize it.

    First it wouldn't read the iPod.  Now it keeps coming up with the -42408 error message when ever I try to authorize it.  What is going on?

  • TS1589 Had to replace our Airport Extreme when it stopped working (still under warranty).  Now I can't get anything but flashing amber light. Airport utility says "error occurred" when I try to get it set up.

    Had to replace our Airport Extreme (802.11n) and now can't get anything but flashing amber light.  Have gone the route of turning off modem (overnight), restarting everything this morning and at least when I turned on the laptop (no desktop) the Airport Utility opened automatically.  I put in the info for the Airport Extreme that we had previously (password, etc) but it couldn't connect (said error occurred).  I would assume this is because of the flashing amber light?

    I am having a similar issue.  However I've had my airport express for over 3 years.  Yesterday we had to reset the router as it wasn't broadcasting.
    Today having same issue so we reset the router again.  And now still blinking amber.  When I go to the Airport Utility I can't even go to the Manual Setup as I'm getting the Error 4.  Internet works fine as the router and modem are hooked up to my computer via Ethernet cable.
    I did a factory reset and the AE is broadcasting again.  but I can't get in to protect the network.  And it's still blinking amber.
    Any thoughts would be great.

  • Error 9813 when I try to authorize my tracks

    Is there a problem with authorizing more than two accounts of purchased music on one computer? My brother's music is already authorized but when I added my purchased music and attempt to play them, I try to log in but get the error 9813. I wasn't sure if this was just a biproduct of the technical issues the store has been having today or not. Any help would be appreciated.

    Doublechecking. Did you also check on the system preferences (for Sharing) as per the 1008 section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?

  • I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison"

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd
