Unable to update error tied to Unable to purchase error?

I have tried changing the DNS servers to both Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) and openDns (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) and have had no luck updating to 5.1. I have tried multiple Wi-Fi connections. I haven't tried updating through itunes becase I havent had a chance to plus I just moved and don't have internet hooked up at my new house yet. I really don't want to have to wipe my iphone 4 just to download 5.1. I am wondering if this "unable to check for update error is tied in any way to the "Unable to purchase _______ and ___ other apps at this time error." I am interesed to know if anybody who is having trouble updating to 5.1 also gets the unable to purchase ___ error.

I have this problem too, I keep getting pop ups saying that my iPad 2 is unable to purchase certain things I haven't even purchased!
Plus I have been trying to download the 5.1 update since it was released last Wednesday with no luck, I keep getting the same unable to check for updates error message...
It's frustrating seeing as both my iPads and iPhone 4s and apple TV can't be updated... I don't want to have to alter any dns settings. Why should I have too!!!
Anyway how would changing the dns settings help an apple TV ?
It's about time apple let us know what's wrong!

Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243)

Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243) - Please help me!!
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad E530. This laptop is only brands new.
KB954430, KB973688 & KB2538243 - These three updates keep giving me problems. In Windows Update, under "view update history" these keep showing up as failed. I also get the error, "Code 643".
At the end of the installation it tells me three updates are failed to be installed and when I shut down to try to update, Windows always configures up to ~15%, then fails, and reverts changes, then prompts me to install updates the next time I turn my computer on. Each time, I have to re-install every update that I had installed prior to shutting down.
I went through Trouble shooter - "Fix it" numerous times, Repaired Net framework profile and also followed few instructions I found from the net such as running "Reset Register Windows update Components" but nothing works so far.
I even tried manually installing KB954430 but it told me "An error occurred during the installation of assembly component. 7B30B69B-OE6C-B7EO-A06B-D6B9ABF34537 HR RESULT: 0 x 80070BC9" and the installation bar seems to stop at "Publishing Product information", then rolls back the installation.
If you need more details, please tell me & Thanks in advance

WIthout proper system info and the detailed error report nobody can say much. Most likely you run out of disk space.

"Unable to update, log in with account that purchased app"

Hi
I get this error: "Unable to update, log in with account that purchased app" more or less, when trying to update apps on my other macbook pro. I *am* logged in with the account that purchased the apps; I ONLY purchase apps from apple's app store (iOS and MacOS) with one account and one set of banking details. I *do not* have more than one account with apple AT ALL.
Please can someone at apple remedy this bug?
It seem related to the fact that I upgraded the hard disk on the machine that is complaining; it seems to no longer recognise the machine in question. It allows me to purchase and install new apps, but NOT upgrade/update.

Ok, here's the latest update on this problem.
I tried to open an app that had been downloaded and I tried to do an in-app purchase (specifically, the FreeMemory app upgrade). Since it was a new hard disk, the computer asked me to authenticate the app against the app store; in other words, the anti-piracy thing kicked in. Then, when I gave my MAS password, the MAS asked me to verify my billing details. Thereafter, it allowed me not only to run the app and do the in-app purchase, BUT it stopped complaining about updates not being permitted with this account.
So maybe this is a bug Apple needs to pay attention to: viz., if the hard disk is new and you think the app store details are faked, ask the user to verify billing details straight away rather than leaving them in the dark as to why they think they're logged in, but they're not authenticated fully, and wondering why they can't update.
I will monitor the situation, and if any further problems come up, I will report them here, but for now, this seems to have fixed it.

Unable to purchase anything since update o 9.02

Since updating to 9.02 I'm unable to purchase anything from the UK iTunes store. It gets stuck on "Accessing iTunes Store..." and eventually times out with an error message.

I have not yet upgraded, get the same error, and I am on 9.0.1.8..
also got the same agreement deal on my iPhone.. It cruised past it, but it's the only way I seem to be able to purchase from the iTunes store as of now..
Google search doesn't turn up anything yet, except that Apple TV finally got the 3.0 software update.
So it's not just 9.0.2 with problems, but potentially all iTunes users, or at least version 9 users.

Unable to "purchase" or download free APP updates

I am trying to download free App updates on my iphone but it says unable to purchase try again later. so i waited a couple days, and it still wont work. and itunes wont update them either. I have the 2.2 software ive tryed to restart it i cant figure it out. anyone know what the problemo is?
thanks

I had the same problem. I just fixed it. There are several posts on many forums addressing the "5002" error that date back to the IT8 roll out. My solution started with the post linked below.
http://gosublogger.com/2009/01/how-to-fix-itunes-error-5002/comment-page-1/#comm ent-5330
After trying the suggested fix I posted the following:
Thank you for posting this work around. My iPhone 3G has been unable to update apps as well as iTunes 8 running on my MBPro. I followed your instructions to the letter, but still have the same symptoms with “5002″ error. Next I backed up my Mobile Apps folder again (after the reinstall (I kept the original backup as well)), deleted all, and synced with my iPhone 3G. At this point only the apps from my phone are in the iTunes Mobile Apps. folder. No success. I still get the “5002″error in iTunes, and “unable to purchase” when updating apps using iPhone.
Any suggestions?
UPDATE:
After an extensive Error “5002″ Google search, I discovered the post linked below.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1716575
I logged onto my iTunes account, and discovered that there was now a blank Credit Card security/CCV field next to the CC number field. Also there was a weird message in red stating that my address did not seem to be traditional for my area, and required editing or some such nonsense. I deleted a few characters in the address field, re-typed them exactly as they were, filled in my CC CCV code, and clicked done. All problems fixed!
I hope this helps..

I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

This sorted it for me:
Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

With this computer I am unable to purchase anything at the iTunes store. The message is: We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202). There was an error in the iTunes store. please try again later.
