    "This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."

    Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

    Hi, I keep getting an error message saying "the itunes library cannot be saved. an unknown error occurred. (-50). Any ideas on how to stop this appearing? Thanks!

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

  • My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not.  Current software on Mac and iPod.

    My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync.  I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes.  HELP! J

    First try to resolve #2 by:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

  • I can't connect with the App store.  It says "An unknown error has occurred"

    This just started a few days ago on my MacBook Pro.  My account is working fine - I can access it on my phone.  But I can't get to it on my computer.
    The first sign of trouble was when I tried to use a previously purchase app.  The app wouldn't open and gave me a message saying it wasn't purchased on this computer (which it was) and that I needed to enter my password.  When I entered it, it said "An unknown error has occured".  The first time it happened, I rebooted the machine and then the app opened and I was fine.  Next day same problem.  Our IT guy (not a real IT guy, I work for a small company and he is the most knowledgable about computer so he gets to do double duty) suggested making sure all software was up to date.  I downloaded updates, the computer rebooted, and I was fine again.  Day three comes and same problem.  Rebooting didn't help.  IT guy suggests upgrading to latest OS.  But when I try to access the app store to get the new OS, it asks for my password, and then says "An unknown error has occurred".  The computer can see my account.  It has my ID right, and I have a credit balance which I just updated last night and is being properly reflected on the home page.  But I can't buy anything or see details about my account.  I keep getting the same pop-up.
    Any idea what is happening or how to fix this?

    On what OS?

  • Unknown Error message on the App Store

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • I can't open the new "Purchased" feature in the store.  I've downloaded the latest Safari, but I keep getting the error message that the latest Safari has to be downloaded.  Anyone have any solutions or have ran into this problem?

  • Apps fail to update on iPad. I get the error message that the app cannot be updated at this time

    HI
    I keep getting the error message "the app cannot be downloaded at this time" when I try to update any of my apps.

    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

  • I purchased the entire season of The Pacific. After downloading 3 of 11 episodes I keep receiving an error message that the remaining episodes cannot be downloaded at thist time. This has continued for several days.

    I purchased the entire season of the Pacific from the iTunes Store.  After downloading 3 of 11 episodes, I continue to receive an error message that the remaining episodes could not be downloaded at this time.  This has continued for several days.  There is plenty of room on my iPad 2.

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
    There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
    Hope this helps,

  • I was installing an update when I got the error message that the MSVCR80.dll file was missing.  It wants me to reload itunes.  What do I do?

    I was installing an update when I ogt the error message that the MSVCR80.dll file was missing and windows error 126.  What do I do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I cannot find OS x mavericks 10.9.0 in the app store and I cannot download a newer version because it requires 10.9.0

    I cannot find OS x mavericks 10.9.0 in the app store and I cannot download a newer version because it requires 10.9.0. I have looked everywhere and its really annoying. I know it was taken off the app store when 10.9.10 came out but I need it to get 10.9.4 so I can play Total War Shogun 2. any help to get 10.9.4 would be appreciated. 

    It's no longer available. Unless Apple says otherwise, which they probably won't, you need to upgrade to Yosemite instead.

  • HT1338 I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Hi,
    I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Typically this is caused by the internal list of compatible devices in the Mac being out of date.  All you should need to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Update (even if there are no updates, the list will still update), restart the Mac, connect the printer to the Mac, and add the print queue.  If that doesn't work, let me know.
    I am a printer tech for HP.
