  • Why im i getting "an unknown error has occurred" message when i sign into the app store

    Im getting "an unknown error has occurred" message when i sign into the app store. I don't have a problem signing into anything else. What could the problem be?

    Were you able to find a solution to this issue? I am also getting the 'an error has occurred' message when trying to download or update any apps on my iPhone. Restarted, updated, re-booted, etc etc, nothing has worked.

  • Itunes will not load due to An unknown error has occurred (-42408).

    in Windows iTunes will load but fails every time with "An unknown error has occurred (-42408)."  There is no obvious way to uninstall iTunes.  This includes manually starting iTunes from the Start menu and pluggin in an iPad2.
    How can iTunes be uninstalled/reinstalled or fixed?

    I just finished a re-install of iTunes 10.6.3.25 which worked fine.  I am using Windows Vista.  I logged off the Admin account and logged into a user account.  I plugged in the iPad2 and it never got to the sync that normally happens automatically.  then I got the -42408 error followed by another error:  iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPad "iPad".  Go to the Summary tab in the iPad preferences and click Restore to restore this iPad to factory settings.
    If I do this, will I lose all the Apps that were purchased?  Or will I need to re-download them?  But most importantly, will doing this Restore fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas or proven solutions!

    what does "unknown error has occurred" mean when trying to login to the app store

    Welcome to the Apple forums.
    Good idea to fill out your profile so people can see what machine you are writing about.    
    Also a good idea to do a little research through the 'More like this' panel to the right of your initial post.    Each of the threads also contains more leads so it is amazing how much you can learn from them.
    Good hunting.

    Don't know why this is happening.  It starts the sync just fine, then after step two it stope and gives me this error message.  How can I fix this?

    I'm having the same issue. Have you found a fix for this yet. If you refer me it would be much appreciated.

  • Error An unknown error has occurred when adding email to Apple ID

    I am trying to merge two Apple ID's into one. On one I changed the primary email address to an unused email address so I can take the former primary email address and add that email adress to the second Apple ID. When I try to add the email address that used to be the primary email address of the first Apple ID to the second Apple ID (either as a change to the main email address or add a secondary email address) I get the error "An unknown error has occurred." When I go back into the first Apple ID it will add that original email address as a primary or secondary account without any issues. But I get the same error if I try and add that original email address to any other Apple ID (I even tried adding it to a third Apple ID). It would appear that an email address used as an Apple ID cannot be used with any other Apple ID account. Is that correct?

    Apple’s having trouble with the Mac App Store and iTunes App Store right now. Try again later.

  • Help-unknown error has occurred when logging into mac app store

    I am unable to log into the mac app store. It says "an unknown error has occurred" i can log onto itunes without any issues. ive read some discussions and tried to delete networkinterfaces.plist but it doesnt even seem to exist, ive looked in 3 different preferences files. I also tried to create a new user id from the mac store and it doesnt even recognize when i click to create user. what can i do next???  Thanks

    Sorry,
    you don't need any app Store. That - sorry - bullshi. is mother of all problems.
    There is the usuall Software Update process - all can find in finder menue below the apple logo. So why I have to update my iLife and iWork via App Store? Can't this be done by Software update as before? No, we need something special and we also deny any other possible way, like download from apple support page and install manually. No, everybody needs App Store - and then we get an issue after software update and don't get a fix? Sorry, that what I dislike most  - a bad customer support.
    So, no one needs App Store for a Fix - all apple has to do is simply provide a simple MacUpdate via Software Update process and all is fine again.
    And Software Update is just in such cases the best choice and most possible way to fix such problems - and we need also a valid and good second way - if all strings get cut...
    We need ways without any strong internet - because I know places, were you cannot download a MacOS

  • The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)

    Every few minutes, I get an error message from iTunes that says:
    "The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)"
    Quitting and restarting iTunes doesn't seem to make the error go away.  All of my music and movies seem to play just fine - not sure why the error keeps popping up - any clues?
    - iTunes library is located in it's normal spot (~/user/music/iTunes/)
    - OS 10.8.2
    - iTunes 10
    - iMac 27" early 2010

    Thanks again for the gracious response UV.
    You've pointed out a problem...there are a lot of WAV files that I have like unreleased live shows of bands like the Beatles, Neil Young, Miles Davis etc that I've gotten off Bittorrent trading. When I look at the "get info" part of the song in iTunes the details that I've hand entered (dates, venue, song, musicians,etc) does show up.
    But when I go back to the actual file itself, many are simply tagged something like "track 1" and the only way I currently keep track of all this is how I organize my library ( Musician or Band folder \ Album folder \ indivual tracks). There are literally thousounds of songs that I've entered data for on these WAV files.
    Besides getting my current error problem fixed, has anyone who trades live shows come up with an easier way to organize their music. I understand that I may be in the minority with all my WAV files and that many users simply upload CDS, or mostly buy tracks online which is easier to simply grab the data back if they need from some database. I feel like I'm missing out on something big. Maybe I just need a different program for my particular application (archiving & playing music). ANy ideas from other bittorrent traders of unreleased material?
    I am learning more and more about how this all works by the minute, and have taken your advice UV about copying all my current library info and putting it somewhere safe. Hopefully this means everything I've entered up until a few days ago will be fine. Still, I have plenty music waiting for me to hear in FLAC files that need to be decoded into WAV files; but I want to wait to do this until I can be certain all my hard work entering data won't go to waste and my error problem has been fixed.
    thanks for all insights - Sonny

  • 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.

  • Unknown Error Has Occurred

    I used my illustrator CS4 just find for who knows how long, at least a year, and then yesterday I went to create a new file upon opening the program and when I clicked new website or even new print document I get an error message that an "Unknown Error Has Occurred" I tried to open an Ai document and I got the same thing. I've looked online and I see this message most of the time with a specific file, but I didn't even have a file. I was just trying to start new. What could have happened? And, what can I do to get my Illustrator working again?

    Erika,
    For rarer cases where the advice given by Monika fails to bring relief, you may
    look through and try out the relevant among the Other options;, maybe with special attention to the font cashes (item 11).
    Even more seriously, you may: uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.
