Hi,
Since there still seems to be no answer for this error code anywhere, here is what helped for me: Close iTunes and restart it running as administrator - for me the error didn't appear any more after that. I am running iTunes 11 on Windows 8.
I did the same

No, this doesn't work for everybody. What worked for me was disabling Bonjour Service. It's known to cause a lot of trouble in Windows. You can disable it in the Task Manager or follow instructions you can find online. There was no need to run iTunes as adminstrator.

Well, I had the same problem and none of those solutions solved my problem, but I solved my problem by my own. That's it:
On Windows 7/8/8.1
4. On desktop go to your "YourUserNameFolder" > "Organize" > "Folder and Search Options" > Mark "Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives" > Unmark "Hide protected operating system files" > OK;
5. 'AppData" > "Roaming" > "Apple Computer" and move this folder to desktop. (This step backs up all your content from iTunes);
1. Install Revo Unistaller (The paid version is very recommended);
2. Uninstall iTunes using Revo, removing completely any trace from the installation of it (Use the advanced mode);
3. Reboot your system;
4. After the system restarts, open "Computer" > "Program Data" and delete the folder "Apple Computer". (Don't delete that one you that moved to desktop);
5. Reinstall iTunes and don't open it, after the install;
6. Reboot your system again;
7. Now go back on "AppData" > "Roaming" > "Apple Computer" and move back the that folder that you moved to desktop.
8. Now your iTunes should work again.:D
I have try to do this to solve the problem.
I have try to deactivate all my authorized PC or devices.
then activate this PC I am using right now.
It just work, I can start to download movie and music again.
Hope it can solve the issue of yours.
I had the same issue and disabling Bonjour cause iTunes to open and then immediately crash, but I realized that stopping and then RE-starting Bonjour fixed the issue - at least for now. I am unsure if it is a permanent fix or if it will only work so long as I keep iTunes open.
I HAVE A NEW PC LENOVA YOGA. I BOUGHT A SONG ON ITUNES AND THEY WANTED UPDATE ON CREDIT CARD INFO. I GAVE IT AND PURCHASED SONG. TRIED TO BUY ANOTHER SONG-AGAIN THEY ASKED ME FOR UPDATE-I GAVE SAME INFO AGAIN, CLICKED ON DONE AGAIN. WENT BACK TO PURCHASE SONG AND SAID ERROR 5105. HOW DO I GET RID OF ERROR 5105 AND IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH UPDATING INFORMATION ON CREDIT CARD-HOW DO I GET THEM TO ACCEPT THE UPDATE I MADE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO ASK ME EACH TIME AND PUTTING IN SAME INFO EACH TIME.
This is the solution that solved the problem for me.
From what I've been reading on several sites, it has to do with a corrupted installation of the needed software components. You may not think you have one, just like I didn't, since I had only recently installed everything afresh. But I had been cleaning unused drivers and stuff and I may have occasionally deleted some necessary file.
After removing everything (I used IOBit Uninstaller and it worked for me), then doing the reinstall as prescribed above, everything worked fine. I am a happy app downloader now.
I've just had this same problem and thought it was because I had just updated to Windows 10. I used one of the previous answers, which worked instantly.
Close iTunes and then reopen by running as administrator.
I had this problem for a long time and finally decided to find out why my pc versions always had issues regardless of reinstalling, refreshing the pc and etc. I tried putting my itunes.exe in the web exclusion in my malwarebytes and i didnt get anymore internet issues. I couldnt believe it.... 😟

I would suggest if you have any internet protection.. try adding exceptions for everything.
bringit2tony's suggestion worked for me, too. The first time I got the error 5105 message is when I opened iTunes after downloading Windows 10. As soon as you go to your billing page there will be a red X in the block where your security code should go. Type it in. Then click "Done." When it takes you back to the main account page, click "Done." Close iTunes, then reopen it. You should be able to download again.
No need to uninstall iTunes or disable any service !!
All u need is to reinstall the previous setup u downloaded or download a new one then when it starts to install , setup will ask to repair or remove iTunes .
Now choose repair and when it Done open iTunes to see every thing is working like a charm , no more 5105 error !
Hello,
After a lengthy chat with Apple tech support during which they were unable to resolve this issue, I came across this solution, which worked perfectly. Thank you very much!
Worked for me. Thanks!
