I can't do anything in iTunes without getting the following message:
We could not complete you iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred. (-1202) There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
Can someone help me with this? I just downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes; it didn't help.
Windows XP

FIXED!! I had this exact problem. I followed a couple of the other threads, I tried everything, latest version of iTunes, etc., etc....this fixed it. It has something do to with the root cirtificates on your PC. The Microsoft link below has a lot of information....just page down to "FIX IT" and it makes the changes for you. Restart computer, and the problem is FIXED!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This fixed the problem for me, too!
I spent five hours yesterday trying to resolve this issue, by researching on the web and carrying out the following:
checking date and time
disconnecting microsoft security essentials
unchecking "server certificate revocation" in ie9
Uninstalling and re-installing all itunes components in the correct order (twice - just in case)
Full system restore.
None of this worked!! So I wrote to apple for help and they referred me to the microsoft knowledgebase link above.
I too scrolled down to "Fix It" and this did the trick.
Unknown error -1202
