Error: AN UNKNOWN ERROR HAS OCCURRED when trying to update the Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software on an Apple Macintosh computer.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

When the camera is connected to an Apple Macintosh computer, a prompt appears that says an update is available for the PMB Portable software. Selecting to update the software later causes the application to not respond and display the unknown error has occurred message. The PMB Portable update is required to make it work with the computer.
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue.
IMPORTANT:
The computer must be connected to the Internet to complete the steps in this solution.
For the MHS-CM5 and MHS-PM5 bloggie cameras it is necessary to download and install a firmware update before installing the PMB Portable update. The firmware update is only required when installing the PMB Portable update and is available from the same page.
Select the option to Update Nowin the PMB Portable window.
Download and save the PMB Portable update PMBPMAC12_Upgrade1004a.dmgfor Mac.
After completely downloading the update, close the PMB Portable window. Make sure the application is closed by removing or ejecting the UNTITLED or NO NAME icon on the desktop. However, leave the PMBPORTABLE icon.
Close any other unnecessary applications that may be running on the computer.
Open the PMBPORTABLE icon on the desktop.
Drag the PMBP_Win.exefile to the trash.
NOTE: If PMBP_Win.exe file is locked and cannot be moved, unlock it by doing the following:
Select the file.
In the drop-down list, click Get Info.
In the General section, next to Locked, click to remove the check mark.
Empty the Trash to completely remove the PMB_Win.exefile.
Run the PMBPMAC12_Upgrade1004a.dmgto install the latest update.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

HT1338 i have a imac g5 that hashad the os reinstalled recently and is running 10.3.7 and when i try to serch for updates it says an error has occured while serching for updates.what can i do

Please help me

One who has a G-5 can upgrade to 10.5 Lepoard. This will increase your chances of finding software.
For a browser you can use TenFourFox which is a rewrite of Firefox 10.4 SPECIFICALLY written for PPC Macs.
These sites should give you a shove in the right direction:

Why do I keep getting "an unknown error has occurred" when I try to update or add an app? I have plenty of memory left. Suggeestions?

Why do I keep getting this message "an unknown error has occurred" when I try to update or load an app. The issue is not space (memory) as I have 2/3 memory left to use. Any suggestions?

Hi ...
Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) reinstalls the App Store for you which may help. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.7.3.
If that doesn't help, if you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
If you have an app called LIttle Snitch installed, that can prevent apps from updating.

The following error occured when searching for on-premises exchange server

I look after a company where I installed a new DELL server last year, The server is running Windows Small Business Server 2011 which we installed. Exchange 2010 was installed as part of the Windows Small Business Server 2011 installation. At the time we
did not configure Exchange because they use external POP accounts for email. Eventually they wanted to move over to Exchange
When we created the user accounts using Windows SBS Console, it created a local mailbox for each user
No problems - [email protected]
Since late last year every time I create a new user within SBS Console, it errors creating the mailbox
Add a user account and assign a user role
Getting "Unexpected error occurred" when Setting up an e-mail account for user
Looking at the error "Unexpected error occurred" & MessagingManagement "Unexpected error occured"
The user account is created ok just no e-mail address is created for the user
I never thought much about this at the time as we weren't using Exchange email accounts. I decided to have a look at this issue over weekend
When I try to open Microsoft Exchange Management Console I'm getting "Initialization failed"
The following error occurred when searching for the On-Premises Exchange server
When I try to open Microsoft Exchange Management Shell, I get a similar error
I've download & run EMTShooter which just identifies there is an error & gives me the same error
I've installed & re-installed WinRM IIS Extensions
I've checked all the settings in IIS, Default Web Site, PowerShell, Modules & Paths...
Still cannot connect to Exchange
I've trawled through the internet for two days checking & testing every solution but no luck
I've checked every setting against another Windows SBS 2011 Server we've installed & works
I cannot find a difference
Can someone help me or point me in the right direction?
Peter Ralphs

Thanks for the reply Cara
Here's the original error I was getting when opening Exchange Management Console
Initialization failed
The following error ocurred while searching for the on-premises Exchange server:
[server.myd.local] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination computer. The content type is absent or invalid.
For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic. It was running the command 'Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true -SuppressError $true -CurrentVersion 'Version 14.1 (Build 218.15)
I got similar error when trying to access the Exchange Management Shell
VERBOSE: Connecting to SERVER.myd.local
[server.myd.local] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination computer. The content type is absent or invalid.
For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [],
PSRemotingTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PSSessionOpenFailed
When I opened the Exchange Management Console this week, the error had changed slightly
Initialization failed
The following error ocurred while searching for the on-premises Exchange server:
[server.myd.local] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client received an HTTP server error status (500), but the remote service did not include any other information about the cause of the failure. For more information,
see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic. It was running the command 'Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true -SuppressError $true -CurrentVersion 'Version 14.1 (Build 218.15)
I could only run Exbpa from a command prompt (obviously no access from Exchange Management Console)
This is the result of the Health Check Scan
Organization: First Organization
Default Global Address List Changed
The 'msExchQueryFilter' attribute of the default Global Address List 'Default Global Address List' has been changed. Default: '(Alias -ne $null -and (ObjectClass -eq 'user' -or ObjectClass -eq 'contact' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox' -or ObjectClass
-eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList' -or ObjectClass -eq 'group' -or ObjectClass - eq 'publicFolder'))'. Current: '((Alias -ne $null) -and (((ObjectClass -eq 'user') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'contact') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox') -or (ObjectClass
-eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'group') -or (ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder'))))'.
Admin Group: Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)
The default public folder database is remote
The default public folder database for mailbox database 'Mailbox Database' on server SERVER isn't local. Public folder database: CN=Public Folder Database 1529293969,CN=Databases,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=First
Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=myd,DC=local.
Server: SERVER
Disk timeout changed
Disk timeout on server SERVER.myd.local is not set at the default of 10 seconds. This is normal if third-party storage software is installed. Current timeout value is 160 seconds.
Client RPC binding found
The 'Rpc_Binding_Order' is set on server SERVER.myd.local. It is possible that either the Exchange or Outlook client is installed on the server. Current registry value: ncalrpc,ncacn_ip_tcp.
One thing I've noticed from the start is that the error occurs when it is "searching" for the Exchange Server, it then goes on to name the server [server.myd.local] it knows it's there but cannot access it ?
Another thing I've noticed is that it always refers to the "remote server" this server is Windows SBS 2011, it's the Domain Controller, DHCP Server, DNS Server & Exchange Server all in the same box
I also noticed that the Health Check stated that "The default public folder database is remote"
Has this something to do with it ?

Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
Thanks!
disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

Hi ...
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

IBooks for IPad 2 Unknown error has occurred when I try to download ?

iBooks for IPad 2 Unknown error has occurred when I try to download ?
Every time I try to download iBooks from AppStore it give me a unknown Error when it starts to load. Has any one else ever had this problem and any way to fix this.
Thanks

Fixed!!--Same error issue, but I hadn't downloaded any apps that required syncing. New iPad2 this Wednesday (6/15/11). Per other suggestions on this forum I tried hooking up to the laptop (already had latest iTunes loaded before my iPad2 came), iTunes started up, went to Apple iStore, login, confirm payment, try to download 'iBooks' it says I already have it. Look at the iPad and it's there.
This fix took all of 3-minutes and all is good. Now to learn to move things around. Newbie here Thanks to the forum for tips on things to try. I need to go back through documentation to see why I had such a problem. Not exactly plug-n-play, but then again, I fighting the urge to 'right-click'. Love the iPad2 so far. My first Apple-anything.

Error has occurred when transferring f

I have problems transferring files using creative media source. Whenever i attempt to do so, an error will immediately prompt out saying 'an error has occurred when transferring file'.
I've also tried using windows explorer, and the error this time was 'cannot copy -song- the directory or file cannot be created'.
Anybody knows what's the problem? I've tried reinstalling the software, but it's still the same. Please help.

<FONT face=Helv size=2>
Here is what you should do:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MuVo plugin .0.05 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
Note: You should also update the firmware and driver (if any) of your MP3 player.

An unknown error has occurred when trying to sign in , and I know I putting in the correct info, this stinks can anyone help? Because apple isn't...

urgh... just noticed my previous post said i have mountain lion... i meant that i have snow leopard. no idea why i messed that up!
anyway, i just tried reinstalling snow leopard from the usb key that came with the computer. Then, I installed software updates until it told me there were no more updates. After that, I tried the app store again, and it still is giving me the unknown error. really irked by that. may have to take it back to the apple store yet again, to see if i can figure out why the app store won't work.

I get "an error has occured" when trying to download from the AppStore. I can not re-download as the button is not active.

I encountered the response "an error has occured" when I downloaded Maverick X from the App Store. I can not try to re-download as the download button is not active. I have tried rebooting and to get the download from apple.com but it keeps redirecting to the App Store.
Suggestions?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
