  • HT201272 Could not sign in - An unknown error has occurred. On my iPod touch attempting to sign-on to iTunes

    Could not sign in - An unknown error has occurred. On my iPod touch attempting to sign-on to iTunes.
    My iTunes login works on other devices.

    Try refreshing the ID by signing out, restart the iPad and then sign in again..
    Settings>iTunes & App 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>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

  • HT1414 Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

    Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

    A quick Google search for Error 2001 would indicate that this occurs when you have a jailbroken phone or were trying to downgrade iOS. Is that true for you?

  • 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 ;-)

  • HT2731 What do you do when you get the message could not sign in an unknown error has occurred

    What do you do when you get the message could not sign in an unknown error has occurred when it ask for your password while trying to download apps?

    In settings I signed out of my iTunes account, then signed back in.
    It’s now working for me… Hope this helps.

  • "The iPod could not be restored.An unknown error has occurred (1418)" Help!

    Hope someone can please help me.
    iTunes is asking me to restore my iPod, but an error occurs each time. This is the chain of events.
    1) I connected my iPod to iTunes and it asked if I wanted to update iPod software. I clicked yes.
    2) The iPod then changed from a colour screen to a monochrome screen.
    3) I then had problems with my USB Connection/Driver which I have now resolved.
    4) My iPod asked me to connect to iTunes and restore.
    5) I connect to iTunes and the following message appears
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" So I clicked the restore button.
    6) The restore progresses until the following message appears
    "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred. (1418).
    Basically I have read everything I could get my hands on to try and solve but nothing seems to work.
    Really looking forward to some solution.
    Cheers.

    i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured

    "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.

  • Whenever I try and log in to download something off the App Store it says could not sign in an unknown error has occurred. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I am using an iPad 2 32 gig. And I can't download anything and it is starting to make me super angry.

    restart, reset, sign out and then back in to the app store, setting>general>reset>reset network setting

  • I am trying to download an App in the iTunes Store but I keep getting an error message that reads: "Could not sign in - An unknown error has occured." Why?

    I've downloaded the latest iTunes, set the DNS to 8.8.4.4, set the search domain to google.com, reset my Apple ID and password, restarted iPhone 4, closed out of the iTunes Store App, reset the router, reset the internet connection etc. etc. with no luck still. Everything else on the iPhone and internet connection is 100% functional with the exception of me being able to connect to the iTunes Store to download an app. Why? How do I fix it? Thank you for any and all responses.

    Ok..
    Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo may help this.
    Restart your Mac after installing the combo then try downloading Lion.
    It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
    BEFORE you do this make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    Read this article before upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities
    And here >  What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"? What upgrade or substitute options are available for common incompatible applications? @ EveryMac.com

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
