"An unknown error has occurred" iphone 4 when downloading any app from app store

Every time I try to download any app (paid or free) from the appstore from my Iphone 4 I get this same error.  Any help would be appreciated.  I've tried updating my credit card info, as well as changing my apple ID password - neither had any effect.  This is the first time I've tried to download an app after installing the latest iOS though.  Anyone else having this same issue? or know of other things to try?  Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much.
I renewed my credit card details at Apple and it caused the error message.
It was easy to understand what happened/ what to do by reading your message.
I hope that Apple make the message more friendly.
Appreciated

    Welcome to the Apple forums.
    Good idea to fill out your profile so people can see what machine you are writing about.    
    Also a good idea to do a little research through the 'More like this' panel to the right of your initial post.    Each of the threads also contains more leads so it is amazing how much you can learn from them.
    Good hunting.

  • Trying to download Maverick, and keep getting "an unknown error has occurred'

    Trying to install maverick, keep getting 'an unknown error has occured' message when I try to login to my apple account

    Just saw the post from makras.
    There are always a few problems with a new OS. Apple can't police every maker of crapware that's on the planet.
    If you have a WD external drive, I would transfer (not clone) the files from it to another non-WD external drive that doesn't have crapware on it, and then erase the WD drive, and then never ever again buy a WD drive.
    You will find many posts on the Apple Discussions from disgruntled narcissists (a few borderlines too) who blame Mavericks for their computer problems.
    Mavericks is excellent (at least for me).
    Every new OS has some incompatibilities with older software. That's why if someone is an early adopter, they should understand this, and if they have a low tolerance for frustration, or are uncomfortable with basic mac maintenance and troubleshooting, they should not be an early adopter.
    Seems like the vast majority of problems that people complain about on the forums are related to crapware they have acquired on their computers from previous installations and promiscuous downloading habits.

  • Error An unknown error has occurred when adding email to Apple ID

    I am trying to merge two Apple ID's into one. On one I changed the primary email address to an unused email address so I can take the former primary email address and add that email adress to the second Apple ID. When I try to add the email address that used to be the primary email address of the first Apple ID to the second Apple ID (either as a change to the main email address or add a secondary email address) I get the error "An unknown error has occurred." When I go back into the first Apple ID it will add that original email address as a primary or secondary account without any issues. But I get the same error if I try and add that original email address to any other Apple ID (I even tried adding it to a third Apple ID). It would appear that an email address used as an Apple ID cannot be used with any other Apple ID account. Is that correct?

    Apple’s having trouble with the Mac App Store and iTunes App Store right now. Try again later.

  • Brand New iPod- Brand New Account- Could Not Sign In An Unknown Error Has Occurred

    Just got home with a brand new iPod touch from the Apple Store.  iOs 6.0.1
    Set up a brand new Apple ID and iCloud account. Verfied and confirmed the account via email on the iPod.  iPod has not been attached to a computer.
    I am attempting to download some free apps from the App Store and I get the following error:
    Could Not Sign In  An unknown error has occurred.
    I went into Settings/iTunes & App Store and attempted to enter my Apple ID and Password.  I get the same error:
    Could Not Sign In  An unknown error has occurred.
    I clicked on Forgot Apple ID or Password?  I then select Enter Your Apple ID.  I go through the Password Retrieval process in iForgot.  I select Answer Security Questions.  I verify my date of birth.  I correctly answer my Security Question.  I attempt to enter the same password I already have (in an attempt to eliminate the scenario where my password may have been mistyped).  I get the following message:
    The password specified has been used in the past year.  Please select another.
    Now I know that the password I have been entering in the App Store and in Settings is correct becasue I just set up the new account and have only had one password.
    I cancel out and close the Safari iForgot window. 
    I go back to the App Store and attempt to login using my correct Apple ID and an intentionally mistyped password.  I get the following message:
    Your Apple ID or password is incorrect.
    Now I know the Apple Store does indeed recognize my correct Apple ID/Password combo, otherwise I would get the same Unknown Error message.
    I have attempted to force quit all apps, reboot, re-try and reboot ad nauseum, but to no avail.
    So, someone at Apple, tell me, what the heck is going on? How do I proceed?

    I've just found the fix!!!!!! I downloaded itunes to my home PC and logged in using my newly created account, a message came up saying that i've not used this account yet with itunes and I need to confirm settings. It basically took me through my credit card information and personal details (strangely it wanted my title as a required field, yet on the ipad setup it didn't - maybe check this field is filled out in your account settings). Then it gave me a message saying I was ready to use the account. I logged into my ipad and all was good - literally did it 2 seconds after seeing the message on my PC. I hope this helps you also ;-)

  • An unknown error has occurred manage appleid

    I needed to reset my security questions so i went to appleid.apple.com . however when i clicked manage my id and tried to log in, it would redirect me back to the previous page saying "An unknown error has occurred" I had changed my country from USA to Singapore before this.

    I was with the same issue, but when I tried on the following day, it works. I guess it was a problem with the server. Try it again, I think it will work.

    Have either of you had any luck with this issue.  It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes.  I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem.  Any help would be appreciated.
