You shoudl contact the developer of that website and ask what that code means. When you do please be specific, asking a question such as;
I am visiting www.gamesitedownload.com and attempting to download yourgames version 1 on my 2013 27" iMac which is currently using OS X version 10.8.5. I use Safari as my browser, when I attempt this download I get a download failed" Error Code 5. Can you assist me?
Thank you for responding. I did contact the website and was told that the problem may be with iTunes permissions and to open disc utility & run repair permissions. So I opened disc utility but I thought it would be better to run "verify permissions" first. After doing that, it showed that everything in iTunes permissions needed repair so I ran "repair permissions". After that I went back and ran"verify permissions" again. Again the result was the permissions were wrong. I should add that everything worked fine when I first got the computer. The problem began when I Used migration assistant to transfer the files from old computer which had Snow Leopard OS.
Please carefully read Apple's Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore located at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
So I can give up on trying to repair "permissions". Thank you. In all my searching of topics, I never saw that one before. Again thanks for taking time to help.
