No More Shopping Cart in iTunes V9

After upgrading to iTunes V9 I noticed there is no more shopping cart. I queried iTunes support via chat and they confirmed:
"In the iTunes 9 there is no longer a shopping cart"
Yipes! I liked being able to stage items and then get recommendations and then add & subtract. I then did my purchasing en masse later, not item by item. It was more convenient, I could consider my purchases and find related items. I could also time a large purchase against available funds, etc.
Apple responds straight out of Zig Zigler:
"I understand. Am sorry for the inconvenience it may cause"
I realize there is a wishlist feature, but that doesn't propose items or function as nicely as the cart once did.
For me this is one step forward and two steps back. Nuts !!!

Not only was I ****** to find out that my shopping cart was gone, but I'm LIVID that when I tried to reinstall 8.21, IT CANNOT READ my iTunes because it was created by a different version.
WAY TO GO Apple!
If you're going to remove a MAJOR feature, you should either make it an attention grabbing notification BEFORE you upgrade, or you should make it easy to return to a previous version. Especially one that is sneaky enough that you actually end up buying things that you intended for your shopping cart. Due to the attachment I have for my music, that borders on misrepresentation, if you ask me.
I'm becoming increasingly unhappy with Apple's 'improvements'. This latest rollback issue just pushed it over the edge. Everything has become geared toward the iPhone (which, even if I could afford it and the plan that goes with it, is not supported by the carriers in my area) and the Nano (how can I fit 100+ GB of music on a Nano?). I am perfectly happy with my iPod 'classic' and have no reason to update, especially given the current economy. It annoys the **** out of me that iPhone software appears in my Apple update, even though I don't own one. If you want me to buy one (and I would love to do so), you could start by allowing ALL mobile carriers to carry it. But I digress...
Further, it seems that somehow my number of times a song has been played has broken, as has Recently Played Songs. When I plugged in after upgrading to 9.0, the songs I'd been listening to in the car all week did not have any numbers next to them (and yes, I was looking at the iPod list and not the iTunes list). When I checked the actual iPod itself (not plugged in) for recently played songs, NONE of the songs I'd played in the last week are there. They don't show up in the iTunes GUI, either. I don't know when this happened, but it's another annoyance. I really, really, really, really, really hate it when companies create features, let you get used to them and using them, and then take them away for something that's supposedly better. Rarely is it better.
Unfortunately for me, I've become so dependent upon my iPod (and tight in the cash department, and do not have access to a network for the iPhone), that changing to another MP3 player is really not an option. So, the question then is, does anyone know how to revert your database back without going to a previous restore point in Windows?

Cannot access shopping cart in iTunes store.

I can access the iTunes store just fine; however, I can't get to my shopping cart.
I can no longer access my shopping cart. I clicked on it today and was prompted to agree to new terms and conditions; I did so. I was then forwarded to another screen which indicated my purchase could not be completed at this time, and my selection in the left-hand column was automatically changed from 'Shopping Cart' to 'iTunes Store.' From this point, whenever I've selected 'Shopping Cart' I've received an error prompt (Unknown error 5002).
I decided to update my iTunes version, but that has not helped at all.

Spent a while in the "loop" myself (agreeing to new terms for iTunes 7.6 (29), then reviewing my account info.) - now I'm out of the loop but still getting the 5002 error. I tried signing out & signing back in, quitting, restarting, fiddling with one-click, and everything else I've seen in various discussion boards. Still no luck.
Anybody have any definitive answer???

I want my Shopping Cart back iTunes 9

How many of you want the Shopping Cart back in iTunes 9
I just went to add something to my cart today and noticed it was gone, replaced by Wish List, hidden at the bottom of the iTunes store.
Please Apple, at least move the Wish List to the menu near the link for the store. I don't know why you are hiding it!

I want my Shopping Cart back too. The Wish List feature is awful and poorly designed. Shopping Cart was so easy to navigate through - all on one page - whereas, Wish List is one cluttered and confusing page after page, often times not allowing you to delete songs from your list. Apple fixed something that wasn't broken - and ticked off many of their customers in the process.
Please, anyone who feels this way, email Apple Support and make your voice be heard.

Error 5002 - when trying to access shopping cart in iTunes

I've noticed some people had this error yesterday & it was apparently resolved, but I'm getting error 5002 today. Is this the same problem? Will it be sorted soon?

We are experiencing this sudden error now too. Up until last night, we were accessing our Cart. But, then after adding one more song and deleting some from the cart, we got the error and cannot access the account from any machine. In addition to this one, we have a brand new iMAC "24, dual Intel; a PowerBook G4, and a Gateway Laptop running XP. None of the machines can access this Cart. Our other iTunes account is fine, without problem. But, this account's cart is inaccessible. I can find no solution.

I want to purchase several songs at a time. Is there a shopping cart in iTunes?

I am trying to download several songs from iTunes stores. There seems to be no provision for adding many songs and check out. Every time I click on a song, I am asked a password, then billing information and the card is charged. So, is I wish to download, say, 12 songs, I shall have to download 12 times? I am in India.

There isn't a cart or basket - you will need to buy each item individually.

Shopping cart disappeared in iTunes 9

I just updated to iTunes 9, and overall I love it. However, I noticed that my shopping cart just disappeared. Anyone know what happened? Are there no more shopping carts in iTunes 9? Wish I had known that before I upgraded!

No, it's not the same at all! In iTunes8 you had a preference that said "Put items in cart". That meant that every other "buy" link essentially put things in a cart where you could review them before spending the money.
This is COMPLETELY different. Now you can do something much more complicated to put things on your wish list. The new behavior is to TAKE YOUR MONEY IMMEDIATELY. A single mis-click costs you money and they won't give you a refund.
All iTunes users should complain to Apple that reversing the meaning of a purchase control with no change to the user interface is not "Nice", it is Evil. Bad, bad, Apple.

Wrong Agent Determination in Shopping cart Workflow

Hi All,
I am having problem in shopping cart workflow.
If we create shopping cart with 15 or more line items then Approval is going to wrong line item cost object owner. However if we create shopping cart with 14 line items then it showing correct financial Approver. Even we raised one more shopping cart with value similar to 15 line items shopping cart and it also going to correct Approver.

After 2 days of debugging i found where is the problem. I am explaing this below.
First i created 2 Shopping cart. First one has 14 Line item which shows correct Agent.
                                              2nd one has 15 Line item which shows wrong Agent.
        CALL METHOD l_o_pdo_sc->get_item_detail
          EXPORTING
            iv_item_guid = l_r_item_guid->guid
          IMPORTING
            et_item      = l_i_item_i
            et_account   = l_i_account_i
*MOD-002:Begin
            et_limit     =   l_i_limit_i.
        APPEND LINES OF: l_i_limit_i TO l_i_limit.
        APPEND LINES OF: l_i_item_i TO l_i_item,
                                       l_i_account_i TO l_i_account.
Case for First SC.
l_i_account_i has value of Line Items. First line item suppose 1L.
After appending the l_i_account(2nd itab) has also first .line item 1L.
Case for 2nd one.
l_i_account has value of Line Items. First line item 1L.
But after appending the l_i_account has no first line item 1L.
Please give some solution to this problem.

How do i switch to shopping cart

How do I switch to shopping cart in itunes store?

There isn't a shopping cart in the iTunes store, you can only buy items one-at-a-time. You can add items to your wish list, but again you can only buy items from that one-at-a-time.

Accidental Purchase / Shopping Cart / Pending Download

I clicked on a film rental on my phone and because i had just downloaded an app a few minutes earlier it didn't ask me for my password and started to download it.
I paused the download and went on iTunes and followed the link to contact apple.
I explained what happened and wanted to find out how to remove it from the download section.
I was surprised that someone wrote back and said they had refunded the money and that i should use shopping cart on itunes to prevent this happening.
I did some digging and found out (i got an automated email from apple that seems like its out of date) one click is now the only way according to stuff i found on google anyway and has been since itunes was updated? Anyway i still havent downloaded the film but i cant delete it from the pending section of my downloads on the iphone which is what i was really bothered about.
I wrote back days ago but nobody has come back to me... couple of questions.
Is there a way to stop the download (i cant see any way and when i touch the screen it starts downloading again)technically i haven't paid so i wasnt gunna watch it.
Has shopping cart gone and is there another way around one click - i deleted my bank details so figure it cant charge me if it doesnt have any and was thinking i might just buy itunes vouchers?

The Shopping Cart feature was removed several months back. There isn't any way around the "one-click" other than just being careful.
i deleted my bank details so figure it cant charge me if it doesnt have any and was thinking i might just buy itunes vouchers?
It would charge your vouchers, or if you don't have sufficient credit balance will probably carry a negative balance and prevent you from purchasing anything else until you make up the balance. So removing your credit card is not a reliable method of preventing an inadvertent purchase. Sorry, but being careful not to buy what you don't want is the only avenue.
Regards.

Shopping Cart not Showing up In Itunes

The Itunes Music Store opens just fine. But when I click on my shopping cart I get the following: "We could not complete your Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002)." This has been going on for two days. Anyone know why and how to fix this?

Jeez..... so I just tried getting in to the cart by getting to it as a blank screen that said shopping cart at the top, then clicking on my account id....and now I am looking at the cart with all the titles (no more blank screen. AND I was able to delete a song.
this must be a very fertile forum, self-actualizing or something.
that said, i have zero confidence that i will be able to replicate this.... going to run an essential errand, come back and do all I can before the lights dim again (so to speak).
TIA

ITunes 9-- No "Shopping Cart", "Wish List" a poor substitute!

I miss greatly the easy functionality of the iTunes8 "Shopping Cart".
iT9's "Wish List" lacks SC's functionality and ease of use.
Has anyone who valued the iT8 Shopping Cart's functionality found a way to approach it in iT9?
I haven't and really miss it-- but maybe I just haven't figured WL out yet?
There seem to be two ways to populate your Wish List:
1. use the drop down menu beside the "Buy" button in iTunes Store, or
2. drag your song to your own Wish List album (i.e. an album you create with that name).
#1 method I have found to be incredibly frustrating:
a. It took my a long time to figure out how to access that WL (iT Help was silent about this).
Answer: from iTunes Store's home screen, hold mouse over your user name in upper right hand corner of home screen and an arrow for a drop-down list appears including Wish List. The resulting list had my new songs in it and a bunch that seemed to have come from iT8 (I maintained a "Shopping List album to back up my SL because periodically it became inaccessible and I had trouble getting Apple to reset it for me) but it is really unpleasant to use, especially if you have a lot of songs there. If you are trying to access the most recent songs added, it is especially cumbersome-- it's divided up into pages and the song list sub-window, within the main window, goes off the bottom of my iMac 24" screen. Therefoer, you have to scroll down to get to the song list sub-window and then scroll again within that sub-window because the song list's page isn't fully shown and you have to scroll down within it to even see all songs on that one page. Then, Worse yet, the song list is into multiple pages, each of which requires a click to see content. You cannot get an overview within your own WL. Even more frustrating, every time you buy a song, this awkward display reverts to the first line of the first page which causes you to have to go thru this whole process all over again. Ugh.
#2. The 2nd method of making your own Wish List album is better, but still requires you to deal with the awful scrolling window within a scrolling window. I can't get any large overview of the various arrangements of a song that I am searching for. iT9's approach makes me feel awkward and blind compared to iT8. To populate your WL album, you must individually drag each song into a relatively small album accurately and one at a time. This is a pain vs. just double clicking on it in iT8 to add it to my SC. Once you've got the songs you want in your WL, you can see and sort them much like you could in the old SC. So the real problem I'm encountering here is the basic way that iT9 is designed to display music search results-- what I call scrolling windows within scrolling windows. I tried using the view menu to make it the kind of sweeping view that iT8 offered, but nothing seemed to improve the view.
Has anyone else found a work-around to recover the functionality lost in replacing SC's with WL's? Any user tips would be greatly appreciated! I used to really enjoy perusing iT8 and comparing varying artists/arrangements of the same song and this has become really unpleasant in iT9. I love iOS4 for my iPhone 3G though and had to update to iT9 for that. Too bad there's such a trade-off required!

This was discussed ad nauseum when iTunes 9 first came out months ago. If you search the discussions (using the Search Discussions box above and to the right), you'll probably find some of the myriad threads on the subject.
Best of luck.

Making Muliple Shopping Carts Under The Same iTunes Account

In our home, we have one iTunes account, but there is more than one person who needs to use that account. Is there a way to make it so everyone has their own personal shopping cart instead of everyone having one shopping cart and all the songs getting mixed up?
Thanks,
Mason

Why do you need separate shopping carts?
If you are putting stuff in the shopping cart to save for later, just create a regular playlist {called iTunes store wish list and drag from the store to this playlist.
Purchase it later when you want.
Any reason you are not creating iTunes accounts for each user?
By iTunes Accounts, I mean the iTunes Store Account (credit card). Everyone has their own libraries on their own Macs. Thanks for the tip about putting the songs in a playlist. I never thought of doing that.
Thanks,

ITunes Shopping Cart won't let me delete items.

I have some items in my shopping cart that I need to delete because I've already purchased them. But the problem is that it won't let me delete them and it also says that it is not available in the Canadian Store. If someone knows how to fix this that would be great.

Same problem as well with music videos I added that were originally single purchase items and then the next day became Album Only in my shopping cart (though they really weren't) and now I can't delete them. I've tried several tricks to no avail.
I've called Apple Care twice with no resolution. They keep wanting to send me to iTunes Store support but I don't think the people answering there even know how to use a computer. They refuse to "escalate" the issue even though no one has still provided an answer. All I want is for the iTunes staff to delete my entire shopping cart contents but no.
Obvious something is seriously messed-up with the iTMS database and Apple is covering it up to prevent a huge blow to their Christmas sales. I'm sure the DBAs are working round the clock to fix this with no resolution yet.
In 25 years this is the worst support I've ever had from Apple.

I can no longer access my iTunes shopping cart.

This has been going on for about two weeks. When I click "Shopping Cart" I get an error 5002. No explaination. Error 5002 is an "unknown error".

Sorry. Will post this in iTunes forum.

More than one Follow On documents for a single shopping cart

Hi All,
How can we determine if there will be more than one follow on document created for a single shopping cart.
One reason could be if shopping cart items have different source of supply.
What could be the other reasons. Also is there any way by which we can debug and find out the number of follow on documents created for a single shoppining cart.
Thanking you all in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
"Also is there any way by which we can debug and find out the number of follow on documents created for a single shoppining cart."
There's a FM to get all the follow on documents related to the SC and all the relations per item... use BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL and retrieve the E_HEADER_REL for the SC relations, and the E_ITMLIM_REL for each item relations.. there you will see:
OBJECT_ID_A -> OBJECT_ID_B
what it means is the relation between a SC and the PO, or the SC with a BID... you can identify the object types by taking a look in the 'BUS...'
OBJTYPE_A -> OBJECTTYPE_B
SC -> BUS2121
PO-> BUS2201
BID-> BUS2200
etc...
I hope this can help you to retrieve what you need....
BR,
Gerardo....
PS: reward points please....
