When purchasing a song in iTunes, I am getting an Unknown 5002 Error.  Why is this happening?

I am trying to purchase a song from iTunes.  I am getting an error, "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (5002).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later.
This has been happening all morning.  I am unable to purchase this song on my PC, my Mac, my iPhone, or my iPad.  On the iPhone or iPad, no error is received, it just goes to the download section, says "waiting" as the status and then disappears.  I have also tried to change my credit card on file and I am still getting the same error. 

Check out this Apple document -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
"Error 5002"
This alert is often the result of an issue with verifying your billing.

    Can anyone help solve this problem?

    I've done a search on here and haven't found any solutions posted for it for windows computers. You could try posting in the iTunes For Windows forum and see if you get any suggestions in there (are you able to download other items from the store e.g. a free app ?) - I use a Mac, the only things that I could think of to suggest trying is see if you get the same error on a different iTunes library :
    creating and/or opening a different iTunes library : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    or using a different user account on your computer in case it's a problem with that user account.
    But you may want to try the iTunes For Windows forum first, apart from anything else you are likely to get better help for the above

  • When I select a photo from photo library, the wrong picture displays.  Why is this happening?

    When I select a photo from the Photo Library, the wrong picture displays.  I'm unable to find the picture selected, making it very difficut to apply wall paper or to contacts.  Why is this happening?

    I restarted the phone and forced the app to close and neither resolved the issue.  I then had the bright idea to remove the sync of photos and remove all the photos from the device.  I checked the Photos app and it was empty.  I then synced again with the photos selected and all the pictures were restored.  The photo library now displays the photo I select.

  • After I purchase a song on iTunes, it doesnt get transfered to my iPod!why?

    I have the old kind of iPod nano and im on iTunes and I have never used it before..And i tryed downloading a song onto my iPod and i have the usb cord plugged into my computer and my ipod but after I purchase the song and it says it downloaded it it isnt on my iPod..

    Did you authorize your computer? Authorization can be done by playing the song for a few seconds on the computer. Your computer must be authorized prior to syncing purchases to your iPod or the files will not be transferred to the iPod.

  • I have added a work colleague to my family's members on iCloud so we can share the calendar for work appointments. However whe heakes purchases on iTunes I now get charged. How can I stop this happening?

    ive added my work coleague to my iCloud account so we can share the calendar on our I-phones for work appointments. when he makes a purchase on iTunes i now get charged though so how do I stop this from happening? also can I just share only work appointments or do i have to share the whole calendar with him? Can I select what he sees?

    Hi Frantic503,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works. 
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar. 
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Episodes of a podcast which I see on iTunes won't transfer to the iPad. Why is this happening?

    I have subscribed to a podcast called Polònia (by TV3) and I have applied the same settings as for all other podcasts I have working fine. I click on get all episodes and keep all unplayed episodes too, on Settings. Whenever I click on Sync, the episodes remaining for this podcast won't copy to the iPad, even if they show perfectly downloaded on iTunes. As a result, I can only get hold of this podcast downloading it from the iPad, BUT every time I sync with iTunes, the episodes downloaded via iPad on its own will disappear, as they get deleted when synchronising.
    Can anybody help on this?
    Many thanks!

    Shut down and restart the app...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the offending app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the app

  • When i try to set  up iCloud, it deletes all my calendar info. why is this happening and how to fix it?

    When I try to set up iCloud, it deletes all my calendar info.  Why, and how to prevent deletion of important info when setting up iCloud?

    When you set up icloud and turn on calendar syncing, you get a panel that asks whether to merge the local data on the device or computer with icloud data.  You must have responded NO.  If the calendars are now gone from your mac, then your only hope is to restore the data from your Time Machine backup.

  • I have MBP 13 late 2011:Will it be able to support a 3tb hardisk?Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

    I have MBP 13 late 2011:

    Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

    Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power.  Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
    When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash.  If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash.  An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.
