"An unknown error has occurred" when creating an Apple ID

Hi,
I'm trying to create an Apple ID at appleid.apple.com, and all I get is "An unknown error has occurred."
Is Apple's Apple ID infrastructure broken?

Apple’s having trouble with the Mac App Store and iTunes App Store right now. Try again later.
(123845)

When I try to sign in to the App store, I get a message that says "An unknown error has occurred" and I cannot sign in.

When I try and sign in to the App Store, I get an error message that says "An unknown error has occurred". The Apple Store told me to contact Apple Care which I did. They determined it was not an issue with my computer and thought it was an issue with the App Store.
They had me contact the iTunes Store instead of the App Store because they said that was the technician I needed. The iTunes Store rep told me there was no issue with my iTunes account and told me "The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself."
This issue has been happening for a few months and as I said above, Apple Care said it was not my computer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Restart your Mac then try again.

I have been trying to create an apple ID for the past 2 days and cannot succeed : it states an unknown error has occurred and no ID is created. What to do?

The internet is the internet. if its not working then its something to do with your not allowing cookies from apple's site or they are having issues.

Corrupted/Locked out apple ID "An Unknown Error has occurred" logging into support?

I was forced to use a different apple id to log into this support community because all attempts from different devices and browsers using another ID have ended up at the password prompt with "An unknown error has occurred" at the community login screen. The ID can still be "manged" and appears to be able to make purchases from the iTunes Store over the internet. A phone incident case number 388249960 was opened and I spent over an hour on the phone with this problem. The ID in question was set up more than two years ago to help with my wife's iPad 1 which we paid 800 plus for,,, all the storage and bells and whistles. Recently she started using the iTunes store to purchase and download television series and we got in trouble because her directories were filling the c:drive on a Vista Business computer she normally uses. Before starting to deal with the problem of storage, I tried to make sure everything was up to date and downloaded/installed the latest iTunes 11.0,1,, to her machine. I already had it on another machine running Windows 7 and two older Windows XP machines. All of them were "tested" for home networking to our Apple TV so that I could go to the TV and find a computer which could be used as a source for streaming music, videos, etc., etc. all based on her ID. As of this writing, I believe all of that functionality still exists, but, when I navigate to support and try to log in using her ID and password, I get re-prompted for the password and then "Locked Out" when "An Unknown Error Has Occurred" pops up above the login via the web site.
I am writing this after much agony and travial via an obsolete instance of Windows Explorer running on Windows XP Home Premium on an old portable using a newly created Apple ID which does not appear to have the same problems logging into the support community. Can anyone out there help me?
I have gone to war with Comcast's "free" security enhancement software "Constant Guard" believing that it might be the source. This machine had it installed at one time and has had it completely removed, but... it still experiences the error when my wife's ID is used.
The issue may be related to the recently added requirement for secuity questions and recovery email addresses which I tried to address for her ID and inadvertently ran into conflict/problem with using certain other email addresses with her ID. Perhaps something is corrupted in the database for her ID, or related to problems with support for esoteric things like Microsoft's .NET enhancements which I have long been using on my computers, or possibly Constant Guard "started" the problem because it was probably running when account security data was being updated via the Apple web site? I tried to get information about what I thought was the "recovery email address" associated with her account and was told by Apple Web sites that it was "in use" as an apple ID and could not be used as her recovery address. When I called trying to confirm that this ID was "mine" I was able to provide one of two security clearance pieces of data, but not enough information to get the support person to straighten things out for me. I ended up creating "yet another" ID just to get clear of the mess.
I made a suggestion to one of the folks I spoke with that an improvement to the functionality of apple ID's would be to support "consolidation" of accounts so that if several different Apple devices had been registered with different ID's and they all belonged to the same user(s) that a "common ID" could be created.
I'm reluctant to post apple ID's in a public support forum, and would prefer to deal with this by private email. or phone.

Then contact Apple directly.
This is a user to user technical support forum. No one here has access to manage Apple ID's other than their own.
There is no Apple presence here.

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 got "Invalid link" when I to reset my security questions from rescue email. Moreover when I log in into my Apple ID and click on Passwords and Security I'm thrown out with the message "An unknown error has occurred".

Here is my problem:
Need to change my email with the one that currently I'm using for rescue
Planed to change first the rescue email with a new one.
But:
I Forgot the security questions
Followed the reset security questions instructions.
Got the email on the rescue address but The link I've got on my rescue email to reset my security questions is invalid. By now the 3 hour window for the validity of the link is gone.
If I go via Apple ID, I login successfully but when I select Security I'm thrown back into Manage your Apple ID screen that displays now as well this message "An unknown error has occurred"
Tried several times, the same again and again.
On top of the long hours on the forums I spent 20 minutes over the phone with the US support on international charge, eventually I hanged up while waiting too long for the 3 rd expert but got an email later on indicating to clear my browser history and try again, which didn't work. Case number 519598448. Used my laptop with IE and my iPad, same result.

This problem now appears for me too.
When using iforgot.apple.com email-verification clicking the reset link results in the "Invalid Link" error.
The error, that caused me to do this (password failing to verify against iCloud) has vanished since though.

Unable to log on with apple ID - error message "an unknown error has occurred"

When I try and log on to apple website using my apple ID, I get an error message saying "an unknown error has occurred". How can I fix this?
I've changed my password several times and was able to successfully make a purchase from Itunes using new password, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

For whatever reason, I can now log in to the apps store with one of my ids. It says my other account no longer exists so I can not update pages and numbers. It will not let me rebuy these programs under the working account because my computer recognizes that I bought them before.

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?

"Unknown error has occurred" when changing primary email for Apple ID

It tells me the primary email I'm changing it to, is available and everything, but when I click "save changes" it sends me back to the Apple ID log in page and gives me the message "An unknown error has occurred".
How can it be Unknown? How can I fix it? I wish I could ask Apple directly, but I live in a country where I don't think it possible to call them. I've searched and there seems to be no way to contact them through email or something.
What can I do?? This is very stressful.

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.
