I keep getting an "unknown error" when I am trying to install an app. After I have put my correct apple ID in.

First, turn off your CAPS lock.  Typing in all CAPS is considered screaming/yelling and many will simply ignore your posting.
Are you currently having issues?  Is it when trying to purchase only on the device?  Are you able to complete purchases via iTunes on your computer?

    I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me...  I only had to reset the iTunes cache
    1) Open iTunes
    2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
    3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
    4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

  • Why do I keep getting an unknown error when trying to download an app from the app store on my iPod touch 4th generation when I put in the correct password?

    I keep getting the same unknown error has occurred when trying to download an app what is wrong?

    as an example.. from the sprint forum for a different device (unsure what device.. it's just not an iphone since no iphone or ios device has these settings -- ive seen this advice several times and I believe it's some form of android.. but not sure)
    advice from the carrier advisor --
    "Clear data in the Dialer and Dialer storage.... under manage Applications> All.
    That is Settings - Applications - Choose All to view All choices - then find Dialer and clear the Data. Repeat this for the Dialer Storage as well. I personally also deleted the message thread first from the text message window and my log history which is a menu item from your call screen."
    and another for you from a customer -- it is sprint again.. but this time a Samsung Epic
    "OMG ... if someone can't tell me how to fix this "9230: Message sent using invalid number of digits..." error, I'm going to scream.  My husband and I both have Sprint Epic phones and love them EXCEPT for this one problem! Help!"
    Maybe they should sue Samsung?

  • I keep getting a "Transcoding error" when I try to burn a blu ray. I have elements 8 and the clip is only about 8 1/2 minutes long

    I have 4gb of ram and running Vista. Dont know why I keep getting this error, its not like I'm burning a full 2 hour movie.
    any help would be appreciated.

    b
    Thanks for the update.
    Please remind me, are you still working with Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1, and are your plans to incorporate your new internal hard drive into the Windows Vista 32 bit computer setup?
    In Photoshop Elements 8, the path to the Scratch Disks should be Full Editor/Edit Menu/Preferences/Performance and the available Scratch Disks choices there. See Description under the Scratch Disks list for overall suggestions.
    In Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1, the Scratch Disks will be found under the program's Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.
    Just do not move, delete, or rename any files/folders that are source media in a saved/closed project.
    Major consideration is to check the new drive periodically to confirm that the drive letter is ot changing on you.
    Did you know that you can import a raw format image into Premiere Elements, but you need to install the Camera Raw plug-in in Premiere Elements as well as Photoshop Elements. But, in a 32 bit operation and dealing with the huge dimensions of the raw image, image size is going to be a consideration in Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.. The program will not let you import a still image with a total pixel count greater than 16777216 pixels.

    More later. Sounding good.

  • Why do I keep getting an unknown error 4002.

    Why do I keep getting an unknown error 4002. I seems to happen 5 or 6 times a day. iTunes seems to be working fine but it's kind of annoying. The window pops up and says "We could not complete your iTunes Store request." It tells me that there was an error in the iTunes Store and should try again later. I click OK but it just won't stop.

    You may not have 'intended' to use iCloud but you did. Backup your contacts and calendars, sign out and restore your data.
    Now that you have published your email address in a public space you can expect the spammers to have it, I will ask for it to be removed but we're probably too late.

    I keep getting an "unknown error-42408" message when I try to buy music - it then tells me to try again later, which I have done. 

    Hello suesq75,
    This error message indicates that there are one or more components of iTunes that are missing or damaged. Reinstalling iTunes should resolve the issue.

    You can download the latest version of iTunes here.

  • 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.

  • HT1338 I keep getting a Networking Error: when i run Software update. i have 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to at least 10.6 or later. i know the network is working perfectly.

    I keep getting a Networking Error: when i run Software update. i have 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to at least 10.6 or later. i know the network is working perfectly.

    Snow Leopard OS 10.6 is not available via Software Update, it is paid upgrade.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • I keep getting a 4000 error when trying to burn discs....only been since the update....Help

    Ever since the Itunes update, I keep getting an 4000 error when trying to burn my music to disc.  How do I fix this?

    Zachy,
    It goes something like this...
    Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
    Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

  • I am getting an unknown error when trying to download a word document from mail to pages, any help

    I am trying to download a word document from mail into pages and I keep getting an unknown error message, are there special settings for this? Any help much appreciated!

    Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.

  • Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S.

    Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S. It freezes itunes and I can't do anything else. I see that there is an update for my phone and I need to back up, upload new apps, etc before installing. I plug my phone in and get this error every time. I am using a Win 7 SP1

    Howdy Susie48825,
    It sounds like you are getting an error that mentions the sync services when you connect your phone to your computer and so you cannot sync your device. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article that  mentions an error regardign the sync services named:
    iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2690
    Start with these steps:
    1. Check that iTunes is up-to-date
    Ensure that you have updated to the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Reset Sync History
    Resetting your Sync History is a simple step which may resolve some syncing issues. If this works, iTunes will prompt to Merge or Replace the information on your device when you next attempt to sync. To reset your Sync History:
    Disconnect your device.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button, and then reconnect your device.
    If this resolves the issue, and you know all of your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your computer:
    Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
    Click Apply.
    If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
    Click Apply.
    There are additional steps to use in the article if needed, but these will get you started.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    Please help.  Keep getting a conversion error when trying to convert a PDF to a .docx. Advice?

    Sara,
    Please see my answers in bold below.
    What browser are you using? Try clearing the cache, or using a different browser. N/A
    Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website. Within Reader.I disabled the OCR and this did not work either. Try converting from within Reader, and disable OCR as detailed in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Are you on a networked computer? Make sure that there aren't any firewall/proxy settings that are preventing you from uploading files to the Internet. Not having problems uploading the file--that works fine.
    Make sure the file is within the file-size limit of 100 MB. It is <40.
    I get the error message, "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online."
    Thanks for your help in advance.
