"An unexpected error has occurred"... (AirPort setup)

I have just bought the new AirPort Express 802.11n Wi-Fi thingie.
I simply cannot get it to connect to my wireless internet at home!
I have tried factory resetting it 5 times. Each time, it shows up once in AirPort Utility, and I try to get it to join an existing network, it gets to the screen where it says "Waiting for ... ...'s AirPort Express", and every time it gets an "unexpected error" message. After this occurs, the amber light is still flashing, and AirPort utility cannot even detect the AirPort and I have to perform another factory reset to start the process all over again.
I am running a mid-2011 27-inch 3.1gHz Intel Core i5 iMac, and I have Mountain Lion version 10.8.1.
It might be worth pointing out that I bought the AirPort in the hope that it would alleviate my issues with Mountain Lion's now infamous continued dropping of Wi-Fi...
Please help!
EDIT: I get the same "unexpected error" message after I have done a factory reset, and I try to set the AirPort up to join an existing network from my iPhone 4S (which is running iOS 5.1.1).

And also, it happened on the latest generation iPod touch, running iOS 5.1.1. Utterly flummoxed here.
Each time the problem happens, it is during the AirPort restart phase.

  • "An unexpected error has occurred" - setting up Time Capsule - now happening on 2nd TC

    Hi!
    I'm sorry if this has been asked a thousand times - I'm brand new to owning an iMac and a TC.
    I tried to set my first TC up last week, got through to where it said, "Waiting for AirPort Time Capsule" and every time I would get "An Unexpected Error Has Occured, Please Try Again." Reset it 5 times, did everything again - same response. Called Apple Care, they had me do it another three times, got the same thing. Told me to drive the 50 miles one way to go to the Apple Store to return it. I did that tonight...
    Now I have a new TC, and I was assured that it wouldn't happen again. Here I am....with the same error message at the same point in the setup.
    I can connect to the internet through the TC on the brand new network I created (every time) - however, my brand new iMac will never configure the TC. I have the TC directly connected from my AT&T Pace Router to the TC by ethernet cable, and the globle on the AirPort Utility is the only thing on there, with the green light for the Internet - it says connected - all of that good stuff. At the bottom, it says, "No configured AirPort base stations have been found..."
    I've updated everything I can on my iMac and through the AirPort Utility, so everything is up to date.
    Anyone have any clues before I call Apple Care....again and they tell me that this has never happened before? (ugh)
    Thanks!

    Sorry you have had such a bad first impression..
    Is the ipv6 turned on? This was an after thought as they seem to have released both firmware and utility and woken up after the event to the fact they actually needed ipv6 on to manage it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    Otherwise I don't see what you are using to connect to the TC from the iMac.. is it wired or wireless??
    Can I suggest you do the setup again.
    This time use ethernet to the TC.. in full isolation from the network. And do the setup manually.
    You may need to factory reset again.. sorry about that .. and start over.. only the Mac plugged into the TC.. nothing else.
    You may need further help just post where you get up to and we can sort out what is happening from there.
    This often works easier at the start from the airport utility in iphone or ipad if you have one.

    Hi - When I go to synch my Ipad 2 (v. 4.3.5) with my iTunes (v. 10.4 (80) and only when I have selected to synch photos from my Aperture (v. 3.1.3) I get the following error in iTunes: 'Unexpected Error Has Occurred (-50).  If I try to synch from iPhoto, no problem.  If I remove the 'synch photos' no problem synching.

  • I get "An unexpected error has occurred" whenever I try to create item in a list or view site permission page

    I am working a SharePoint site with a custom masterpage and css. Everything displays just fine and the site functions with several subsites, and so forth. I have double-checked to ensure that important content placeholders were on the new masterpage, even
    if they were "hidden" from view.
    However, a new issue came up this week: I was moved from a contributor to a designer list so that I could convert word files in a doc library in web pages. When that change happened, I lost the ability to select "add new items" to lists or add
    events to calendars. [not sure if causation, or just correlation] On a similar note, no one--not even those with higher permissions levels than me---can access the "site permissions" page in browser now (not sure if this coincides with my issue over
    the lists/calendars, but in both cases the notification "an unexpected error has occurred" comes up).
    I temporarily switched a subsite to the default masterpage, and lists and site permissions page functioned fine--no error. Therefore, it appears as though something in the custom masterpage (or embedded css?) is causing this error to come up. But what could
    it be? 
    I ran across a forum question that mentioned a bug related to alternative css:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/53151269-dd61-4c71-8263-c1880450a1bb/sharepoint-2010-unable-to-access-site-settings-site-permissions-from-a-site-created-from-a-template Solutions
    said to check the correlation ID and use powershell. The guy in my department who checked the correlation ID said that nothing useful came up, and I got the impression that the powershell solution didn't work out for him either (I don't work on that side of
    things; I am on the design side). 
    So, does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Again, I have checked and double-checked those content placeholders in my custom masterpage - they are all there. I built the site using one of Randy Drisgill's masterpage templates.
    Up until this point, I haven't had any issues with the template, my custom code, etc. 

    I am having the same issue, was this ever resolved?

  • SharePoint 2013 - In document library, an unexpected error has occurred when a user clicks on ellipsis then "EDIT"

    Just as the title infers, I have a user who is experiencing an unexpected error when he clicks on "EDIT" after clicking on the ellipsis. Document in the Document library is an MS Word file.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that an unexpected error has occurred when a user clicks on ellipsis then "EDIT".
    Please make sure he has the edit permission.
    Please make sure the Office 2013 is installed correctly on his computer.
    In addition, I recommend to use another brower to check whether it works.
    If so and the error message persists, please check the SharePoint ULS log to find more information about this error, the ULS

    cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update.  Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

    Hi mike,
    Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
    Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
    I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
    Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,

  • While ordering book:'Unexpected error has occurred, please try again later'

    Hello,
    Not sure if this is a suitable forum, but when I was using Iphoto '08 V7.1.3 (latest version), and I tried to purchase an album, the following error always appeared : "Unexpected error has occurred, please try again later".
    It always appears after iphoto has transfered all the data across after I click 'Buy Now'. And it is driving me crazy!
    I called up apple support and have tried to do whatever they told me to, which includes:
    1) Creating a new album
    2) Creating a new apple i.d.
    but its all futile! The dreaded message always appears!
    Does anyone know if theres any way I can just SEND THE THING over manually, in a CD or something, cos I really want the album book! Or, do any technical guys here have any idea?? Im also kinda tired of waiting on the hold line on the phone!

    I wish I could help - but I am having the same exact problem. It is totally frustrating to make the book and then go through all the steps only to have the same message appear.
