I cannot sign into App Store. "unknown error" and then "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

I cannot sign in to the App Store.
I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
Please help me.

You could try this.
Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Using FF to access my AOL emails I get "There was an error while loading the message. Please try again later." Access is OK via Chrome, IE & AOL's own desktop.

    "There was an error while loading the message. Please try again later." is a recent (3/4 days) error message I get when accessing my AOL emails. I can access the page and move them between states but cannot open them to read. Chrome, IE and AOL's own desktop open emails OK & can access them from the wife's PC using my AOL details. Have cleaned the history tab of everything in FF, have also removed it with add/rem progs and reinstalled - still I get the above message.
    PC - W7 Pro 64 bit, 16GB RAM etc.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
    <!-- VERY important to include-->
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

  • In AOL email, checking individual messages in the regular system results in this error message: There was an error loading the message. Please try again later.

    In accessing AOL email through the full version, I can navigate within my account (old mail, new mail, spam, etc.) fine, but when I try to open an individual email, I get this error message: "There was an error loading the message. Please try again later."
    This is identical to a problem someone else was describing in another thread....unfortunately, nothing you suggested to him seemed to be working. I WAS tricked into opening a file attached to an email immediately before this started, so I think its a virus or something. ANYWAY....I AM able to open the messages when I use AOL's basic version. Initially, the problem seemed only to be in Firefox, but I've tried with Internet Explorer now also, and its the same thing, and the basic version is accessible while the full version is still blocked.
    On both browsers, following the error message, I can't even click on the individual messages to TRY to open a different one, and there are some not-quite-right boxes and x's and things that appear on the screen that don't belong.
    PLEASE tell me you can't make this go away....I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox....that didn't work. I've also fun McAffee, and that didn't change anything.

    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

  • An error has occurred. There was an error communicating with the server. Please try again later.

    I have a simple form which allows users to submit receipts as attachments.  I have some required identifying information (name, etc.) and then three optional slots for attachments, along with optional text boxes for descriptions.  The form tests fine with attachments on my computer and on a couple other computers we tested with.
    However, I am getting complaints from several users that they see the following message when they hit "Submit": "An error has occurred. There was an error communicating with the server. Please try again later."  Any ideas why this might be or how I can fix it?

    Do you mind emailing the URL of your fillable form to me ([email protected]).
    I would like to investigate as to what the issue might be with Internet Explorer.
    Sorry for the inconveniences.

  • The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

    Hello
    i am getting this error:
    Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error and was unable to
    complete your request.
    Could not connect to JRun Server.
    the problem is that when i try to submit for email i am
    getting this
    the button is supposed to submit a email to ---->

    Sometimes a quick trick to try is to do a <CFABORT> on
    the first line of code..run it, nothing will happen, then take it
    out.. and when you run it again you'll probably get the detailed
    diagnostics that'll tell you what it's not happy about.
    Otherwise...just progressively comment out code until it
    starts working, and you've isolated where the issue is.

    When I try to manually backup my ipad2, I receive an error message stating "There was a problem completing the backup.  Please try again later" ... and this happens each time I try to back up.  Grateful for suggestions ...

    Seems to be a common enough problem. I've deleted the partial failed backup from iCloud, restoring all 5Gb of storage. Then started a manual backup. After about 20 minutes I get the same error message. I have repeated this several times. According to my iTunes on my laptop I managed one backup to iCloud from there but it is pointless if u can neither backup to or restore from iCloud via my iPhone 4. I had hoped ios 5.0.1 would solve this glitch but ....
    So much for "it just works".
    I have yet to see any suggested fix that works for me. Any other suggestions?

  • I signed into icloud on my phone and then lost all my contacts.  what should i do to get the contacts back?

    I signed into icloud on my iphone 6 and somehow all my contacts are now gone in my address book.
    Does anyone know how to retrieve the contacts.  The  message said if I signed out of icloud I'd lose
    all photo streams and any data on the phone.  Can someone help???
    Thanks.

    I'm afraid you're out of luck.  If it says incomplete you won't be able to access the backup.

  • I get this error in PS3: Could not complete your request because of a program error

    Only for opening raw files, but not JPEG.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    You're welcome.
    There are detailed instructions on page 3 of the ReadMe file provided with the Camera Raw 4.6 update...
    http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_4.6_ReadMe.pdf
    A quick check of the camera list in the above ReadMe file does indicate that the D90 is supported, so it should work for you.
    After running through the installation, double check that you have successfully installed Camera Raw 4.6...  Do this:
    1.  Start Photoshop CS3.
    2.  Choose Help - About Plug-in from the Photoshop menus.
    3.  Look through the list...  Do you see one and only one entry for Camera Raw...?
    4.  When you click on Camera Raw, does it show version 4.6.something?

Try again later (100). Your Apple ID has been disabled, contact iTune support". However,the problem still persists even after my password has been successfully reset. What is is the error in the app store? I really need help to resolve this issue.

  • Could not complete your request because of a program error after text layers prompt

    For the past 4 months I have been receiving a message saying "Some text layers might need ot be updated before they can be used for vector based output.  Do you want to update these layers now?"  In the past I simply click update and go on with my business but now I am receiving a an error message saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error."  If I click no on the update it loads the PSD file but then if I try to edit anything on the PSD file I receive the same error.  I have done the following troubleshooting:
    1. reinstalled photoshop
    2. repaired mac permissions
    3.  deleted preferences settings in photoshop
    I did create a generic photoshop file and saved it and loaded it with text and everything but with no error.  But I did not receive the text layers update prompt either.  This works fine, so I basically can say that I narrowed it down to the specific file or something in the file.  But also I have tried 10+ different PSD files that prompt for the text layer updates and all receive the same error now. 
    Any thoughts?

    You have a bad font on the system and it knocks out the text engine. Remove it.

  • When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error:  "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (11111).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later"

    When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error:  "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (11111).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later"
    I am running the latest iTunes 10.7.0.21 for Windows 7.
    This error occurs if I try to either update the app or if I delete it and attempt to redownload.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad.  I am unable to update the apps or install the apps from within the App Store on iOS.
    I do not have an AOL ID, as is a common issue with this type of error.
    From what I can tell, my Apple ID account seems fine.  I logged in, changed some information, and ensured my credit card is valid and updated.
    I can download new apps just fine.  I am unable to update or install apps I have purchased in the past.

    After 30 minutes this morning, no resolution. Then another tech support call this afternoon, 15 minutes in, was escalated to a Tier 2 (Senior) advisor. He said something similar to the above ("this is one of the strangest things I've seen"). He was chatted with iTunes guys and took all my info into the case and was escalating it over to engineering. Said they would be in touch.
    So, no solution...yet.
    Just to clarify:
    iTunes on Windows7: trying to update an existing app, or re-download a prior app, gives the (11111) error. Downloading a new (free) app worked fine.
    App Store on iPhone5, iOS 6.0.1: click on UPDATE, switches to INSTALLING...for a second, then switches back to UPDATE. No error message (and nothing in Diagnostic data).
    App Store on iPad 3, iOS 6.0.1: same as iPhone 5.
    Definitely account related.
    I have cleared the store cache, signed out and back in, deleted the credit card data, and re-added, rebooting PC and iPhone...nothing works.
    Will post if I hear anything back from Apple.
