An unknown error message appears when I try to update an app from the app store

Beginning about a week ago, I get the message "an unknown error occurred" when I try to update an app from the app store on my iPhone 4s. The same update works fine on my iPad 2.  Resetting does not solve the problem.

try updating on your PC with itunes, then sync your phone to your pc.

    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?

    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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

  • 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 iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    Dear Lawrence Finch: 
    If you're still around I hope you see this message, as you're the FIRST person (after reading every link, thread, other sites, apple support articles, etc.) to mention JB may be causing this iTunes popup window to REPEATEDLY occur:
    "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted."
    No, I did not hack anything (are you kidding?  Grannies don't hack!), but I unknowingly bought a 3Gs iOS 3.1 from ebay that was not advertised as JB.  Since it is like brand new, I was going to keep it (because my old backup is iOS 3.1.2) & was trying to simply restore & update, which (I thought) would remove the JB (that's what everybody says at forums, etc).
    Instead, after "erasing all settings/content" (inside phone's Settings to get the prior person's name out of there), it is now stuck in White Apple Mode.
    Put it in DFU/Recovery Mode & connect to iTunes but that stupid above message keeps appearing & I have already read/tried EVERYTHING to get rid of that message, starting with: 
    1.  OLD phones (3Gs) with OLD iOS 3.1+ should work FINE with OLD Mac (iBook) with OLD OSX (Tiger 10.4.11) with OLD iTunes (9.2.1[5]).  So that can't be the problem.
    Here's all the other things apple & others say to check which I already checked:
    2.  USB ports are FINE, both work FINE, so that's not the problem.
    3.  No "extra USB devices" are connected, ONLY a mouse, & then the phone (yes, I tried it w/o the mouse connected but that didn't help).
    4.  No "usb hubs."
    5.  Latest iTunes for this OSX has already been DL'd (iTunes 9.2.1[5]).  If you know of a newer one for this OSX, please advise.
    6.  No antivirus software.
    7.  No security software.
    8.  No routers; only 1 comcast modem, period.  Wired Ethernet.
    9.  No wifi gadgets, no wifi at all.
    10.  No firewalls, except what is on iBook in the SHARING/System-Prefs. section.  It's turned OFF.
    11.  Did the hosts/terminal thing sudo nano whatever it was.  There were only 3 lines, NO gs.apple.com:
    xxxxx local host
    xxxxx broadcast host
    xxxx local host
    Oh, & btw, ATT officially unlocked this phone (after I filled out their online forms) but I can't finish the process via iTunes to get their Confirmation that "Device is Now Unlocked," so I can use T-Mo.
    So that's it.  If you have any other ideas of what to do from here, since from your comment, maybe it's the stupid JB on this phone that is causing the problem (???), please advise.
    Many thanks!

  • Error message 1004 when i try tp update apps

    i get error message 1004 when i try to update apps on my ipad

    This actually has a very simple fix, that has worked all the times I have seen it.   Simple goto Settings > Safari >  Then reset the cookies, Reset the Cache, and Reset the History.  Now turn the iPad off and then on again.  It should work fine now.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • When I try to download Mavericks OS from the App store, it says "waiting". The download process doesnt actually start. How can i fix this?

    when I try to download Mavericks OS from the App store, it says "waiting". The download process doesnt actually start. How can i fix this?

    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select Mountain Lion. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Unknown Error message appearing when editing Nikon D810 files on Lr 4

    Hi Guys,
    Recently bought a Nikon D810 and whenever I import files and have a play around with them Lightroom will freeze and then come up with the Unknown Error message. Just wondering if anybody else has encountered this and if so, what you have done to rectify it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pete

    Then they must be using Lightroom 5. According to the list of supported cameras, support for the D 810 was added in Lightroom 5.6. I seriously doubt that any of your friends are actually using it in Lightroom 4 Unless they are using software to change the camera model in the exif data.
