Can't Sign Into iTunes Account (Error Code: 0x80090302 )

If this is true, this is extremely disappointing. We need to keep older versions of iTunes if we want to manage and back up apps from iPad or iPhone devices on our PC (and not in the cloud). I have no wish to update to the poorly received iTunes 12, especially the newest version which removes features. And so, I can now (like others) not spend my iTunes balance, nor will iTunes update Genius info, download music, or perform any tasks that require a login. Dear Apple - can you please restore these functions?

An older Windows OS? I guess you feel a company should offer updates to their software being run on older and/or discontinued OSs, not me.

Regardless, my guess is this is an error on Apple's part and while updating iTunes resolves it they will eventually fix it properly. Sounds like unless you want to update your OS so you can update iTunes so you have no choice but to wait to see if that is true.

The computer I'm using does exactly what I need it to do, so why should I go out and spend hundreds of dollars for a new computer, when I'm content with what I have?. I'm not into spending money just to keep up with the Joneses, or fill rich men's coffers.

Well the music you buy from iTunes is DRM free, so you can still use the files regardless, it's not like I'm be locked out of my music collection or anything. It's the fact that we were not notified, so that we could take the initiative, and prepare for the coming of the storm. Like I said previously, I'm a Windows Vista user, and have been using the Opera web browser, which still supports this O.S. (for the time being). I've switched over to Google Play, and will not be returning to Apple in the future.

I still own a Vista PC myself, but I no longer use it very much - least of all for web browsing. Apple did post advanced notice, as they always do: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208104. If you ever visited forums where Vista users gather, you would've known about it - and you would also know that Opera 36 hasn't received a security update since August 2016, so you are incorrect in thinking that Opera still supports Vista; and the last security update for Firefox ESR 52 should be coming most any day now.

.

I only came here when I was looking for a solution to my problem. The reason I say Opera still supports Vista, is due to the fact that I'm using it now without problems, and have been for awhile-even though there hasn't been any security releases. I'm gonna have to bite the bullet soon and get myself a new computer, on the lower end. 😟

The downside of switching over to Google Play, after being a long time Apple iTunes user:

1. Your purchased albums have a limit of two downloads only, from the Google Play website.

2. The albums you buy and download have no metadata, you have to enter all that manually, and they don't contain album art either.

Hi there.

Same problem with me. Backed up the iPad on laptop this morning, now unable to buy music etc.

Fingers crossed for a speedy solution.
