Why am I getting an Error 5002 when attempting to access my iTunes cart?

Before I upgraded to iTunes 8 (and QT 7.5.5) accessing the iTunes store was easy and error free. My cart was full of potential purchases that I would select from when I had the money to pay.
With iTunes 8 all I get is
*We could not complete your iTunes Store request.*
*An unknown error occurred (5002).*
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
*+What do I do to correct this problem?+*
I've done all the usuals (deleting plists and caches, repairing permissions; safe boot).

I can't say what went wrong with the original installation, but I forced a re-installation with Pacifist 2.5.2. As a result, I could see my iTunes cart with my all my selections still in it. However, I could not add anything to the cart, such as this week's free single. So I made a snapshot of my cart for recreation later and deleted everything in it. After so doing I could add items to the cart and all functionality returned!

    What computer operating system?
    And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
    The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
    The following is the iTunes' document how to.

    Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    If other than above, please supply more details to help us help you.

  • Why do I keep getting an "error 5002" when trying to purchase my wish list?

    Why do I keep getting a "error 5002" while attempting to purchase my iTunes wishlist?

    I've been trying to figure this out for the past four days myself. I tried everything I could to reset my account information since most of the forums indicated the problem was with my payment information. That didn't ring true for me because I regularly make purchases with no problem. In my case, the problem was that one of the songs I was trying to purchase had been purchased previously. I found this out when I went to each song in my wish list individually and hit the buy button. Surprisingly, each song was purchased and downloaded successfully. When I got to the sixth song or so in my wishlist, iTunes told me that I had already purchased that song and asked if I wanted to download it again. I said yes. I then hit the buy all button for the remaining songs (the behavior that had not worked previously and generated the 5002 error) and the download happened properly.
    I realize that the 5002 error seems to be generated by multiple issues, but that is what worked for me. Perhaps you could try the same approach and see what happens if you haven't already resolved your issue. Good luck.

  • Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a template?

    Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

    You are getting an error message because there is an error.
    Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

  • Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

    I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

    Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv  file?
    This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
    There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
    Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
    Good luck,

    why do i get an error message when entering accurate credit card information?

    If you would like help from these forums then saying what the error message is would be useful.
    The card is registered to exactly the same name and address as you have on your iTunes account ? And it was issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are ?
