itunes error 5002 resolved
5002 error comes in itunes shopping cart, Go to preferences and turn off the shopping cart feature and order with one click ordering. this bypasses the whole shopping cart error and allows you to download your song/tv show/movie easily.
Problem with Permissions
Mac OS X users can try to solve the “Error 5200” problem (and other cryptic iTunes errors) by following these instructions to repair the permissions of the iTunes Music Folder:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93069
The permissions may have been altered when migrating the music folder between computers or partitions. They may also be altered by an upgrade of the OS (e.g.m moving from Tiger to Leopard) or by an iTunes upgrade.
The Apple artnum=93069 makes no mention of error 5002 and did not help. Setting “one click” only worked after quitting and restarting iTunes. Changing back to “shopping cart” now also works. I suspect there was no need to set “one click” and that any change to account information (even a null change) would work. I don’t know how to make the problem return to test this.
Changing the nickname works.
Too many apps and updates!
My fix for the dreaded 5002 error:
NOTE: If you screw up and wipe out your Applications you are on your own. You should also know that iTunes may want to reinstall all your applications on your iPhone/iPod, so it might be best to hold off doing this until you’re ready for this (and bear in mind that my experience with iPhone application remove/install hasn’t been stellar, and I’ve had to completely restore from scratch a few times).
1. Back up Mobile Applications from /Users/myusername/Music/iTunes by dragging them to another disk — simply moving them elsewhere on the same disk doesn’t work, since iTunes keeps track of their location. Duplicating the folder would likely work too, if you haven’t got anywhere else to copy them.
2. Once you have the Mobile Applications folder backed up, and have verified and reverified that you’ve got a copy and haven’t simply moved the folder, open iTunes WITHOUT YOUR IPHONE/IPOD CONNECTED and select all your applications and delete them. (if your iPhone/iPod were connected, it would now start helpfully deleting apps)
3. When they’re all gone, quit iTunes
4. Start iTunes again and verify that you have no apps listed.
5. Drag your backup Mobile Applications folder to your open iTunes window — if you have default iTunes settings (copy/manage my music), then iTunes will start re-adding your applications. The nice thing about this is that it also eliminates all the duplicate apps and renames along the way — all those updates you keep doing don’t get rid of older versions, so these just pile up as “Application 1”, 2, 3, etc. You may end up saving a lot of disk space. Many apps have gone through name changes too, so you may clear up some confusion and duplication too.
6. Read the iTunes notices carefully — you will likely get something like “an OLDER version of this app already exists, do you want to replace it” (you DO), or “a NEWER version of this app already exists, do you want to replace it” (you DON’T), or sometimes a mention that this app already exists as the same version (replace it).
7. Quit iTunes, then restart it to “set” the changes
You will end up with a pristine iTunes Mobile Applications folder at the end of this process, and will likely save some space too.
Your 5002 error should also be gone too.
REMEMBER:- you might end up loosing your data so it is recommended that you make a backup copy of your original data.
