An unknown error occurred. You may be able to continue without problems

iMovie 6 continues to crash for me. I am receiving this error:
An unknown error occurred. You may be able to continue without problems. I have restarted, deleted prefs, Repaired permissions. I am running latest Leopard OS (10.5.3).
Any one experiencing the same?

So, every time you add a cross dissolve transition between photos in an iMovie project, the project crashes. What format are your photos in? jpg seems to be the most trouble free. RAW , Pict, and bmp, sometimes more problematic. Scanned photos?
If this is the only transition where this happens, you might try using the Overlap transition. But obviously this would be just a stop gap measure and not a satisfactory solution.
Since you have been updating your operating system, I would do another permissions repair using the Utilities app on your Mac. Wouldn't hurt to trash the plist file again, either. Restart your computer, even though you already have tried that. Close all other programs while running iMovie. (Sometimes the Norton anti-virus programs cause some problems, for example.) Also, 13GB of free space could be a little tight. Wouldn't hurt to try clearing some more space. 25GB is what many users of this forum recommend. You already are trying out opening the project in a new account. If none of the above works, I would think that you are left with reinstalling iMovie. I don't know whether the problem is with the new operating system itself. I have not heard of any problems with Mac OX 10.5.4 or 10.5.3, but there may be some bulletin out that I haven't seen.
Because the problem appears in other iMovie projects, but not in other programs, that would indicate that the problem is confined to iMovie rather than any generalized disk problem. (Still, it wouldn't hurt to run First Aid from the Disk Utility app on your Mac.)
Good luck with this. Perhaps some others may have suggestions as well.

Hello All, can anybody help?
The Problem
We are running SharePoint 2013 and document sets that have an excel file and a PowerPoint presentation both in the document set folder and we have mapped this to a unc path
\\SP.companyname.com\@SSL\DavWWWRoot\Documents
Once a link(graph) is added from excel 2010 (Ctrl C) then go into PowerPoint 2010 Paste > paste special > paste link (As Microsoft Excel Chart Object) click ok the graph goes into the PowerPoint presentation.
The graph/Table is added but in Power point 2010. Perfect.
The problem is when we close excel and try and click on the graph(link) we get the following error “The Server application, source file, or item can’t be found, or returned an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server
application”
If we right click then we get
The Linked file was unavailable and can’t be updated
Has anybody else experienced this issue?

Hi,
Usually this issue is caused by the Protected Mode in Adobe software, since it's not a Microsoft product, the information I can provide is quite limited. I suggest you contact the support of Adobe first, ask if they can provide any suggestion.

An Unknown Error Occurred
You may be able to continue without any problems. You may also wish to save, quit, and re-launch iMovie HD.
the above is what is displaying when I try to add a transition of any kind between any two of my still photos. Typical project of old photos, ken burns effects on some, not on others. Was working fine yesterday.
I'm a bit new at trashing preferences: went to harddrive>library>preferences and trashed anything that had imovie on it, then went to harddrive>user>myname>library>preferences and did the same.
No difference was seen, still the same error. Seems I'm having some odd quirky problem. Did I miss any preferences? Any ideas on what to do to fix this?
Thanks

I cannot apply transitions, I keep getting this:An Unknown Error Occurred

When I try to apply a transition, I get this message: +"An Unknown Error Occurred+
+You may be able to continue without any problems. You may also wish to save, quit, and re-launch iMovie HD."+ I did so. Several times. I even saved as a new project. I even shut down and booted from my install disk and ran Disk Utility, repaired permissions and repaired disk. No problems.
When I try to apply a Video FX, like Fast/Slow/Reverse, the clip shows the usual red line underneath but it never completes. It stays red.
Here's my best guess: The common denominator here is a video clip I imported...not from my camera. It was widescreen, or 16:9, or to be specific, 640x272. I wanted it to match the rest of my movie so I used QT Pro to change it to 640x480. Then I used someone's suggestion to drag that into the iMovie's Package Contents Media folder. It worked. That is, when I reopened my iMovie project, that clip played at 4:3 ratio. Beautiful. And that's the only thing I can think of that could be causing this problem.
Any help, please. I am wasting so much time fooling with this.

In addition to the above maintenance, you should also delete preferences by closing down iMovie and trashing the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist located in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. On relaunch, iMovie will creat a new .plist file to replace the one that you deleted. Often that simple procedure will solve problems like yours.
Additionally, check to make sure that you have sufficient disk space on your start up disk for iMovie to function efficiently. 20GB to 25GB is frequently recommended by users of this forum.
Make sure that your iLife programs are all up to date, particularly Quicktime.
Sometimes 3rd party or Quicktime plugins can conflict with iMovie and cause problems. If you have such plug-ins, temporarily disable them by moving them to a different folder.
You also could try opening your project in a different user and see if perhaps the conflict is specific to your user ID.

Why can't I log into my iTunes account, Unknown error occurred (-54)

Recently I had my Macbook pro reformatted back to factory conditions. After downloading all the software updates I tried to log into the iTunes store, but everytime I get the message " We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An Unknown error occurred (-54)"
I am able to connect to the iTunes store itself and look around and preview songs. but I can't log in to my account. I have the latest version of iTunes, and I haven't altered any settings in iTunes, so I'm confused as to why I am receiving this error message.
The other discussions and trouble shooting pages referencing the error (-54) seem to all talk about ipod sync issues or not being able to access the store in general. So if anyone has any further insight as to why I'm receiveing it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I found the solution to this on another forum. I was able to fix this by manually disabling the firewall on my mac. From the command line:
sudo ipfw disable firewall
Match will then run fine until I do the corresponding enable or restart the computer.
I don't understand enough about the internals of the mac to know why changing this using the Terminal is more effective than simply disabling the firewall from settings, but it is. If you run this command line, it will make the -54 error go away.

Ipod cannot be synced unknown error occured (-48)

_Help needed please!_
I've just got a new laptop, downloaded the latest version of itunes on it, connected my ipod to it (old click wheel version 20GB) and this error message keeps popping up:
*'The ipod "ipods name" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured. (-48)'*
I've never had a problem with my ipod or itunes before, but now this error keeps occuring and it won't let me add any music to my ipod or remove any music from my ipod.
I preferably don't want to restore my ipod because i don't have all the music on it on my new laptop, so I'd lose a lot. I gather syncing the ipod will match what's in the itunes library to the actual ipod? I don't want to do this anyway as I have nothing in my itunes library & i don't want the music that is on my ipod removed, so i'm very confused....
*Anyone have any ideas of what i should do?????*

Your iPod will mimic your iTunes so if there is no music in the library it will wipe the other music that you have on there off so if you don't want to lose the music its probably not a good idea to connect it
as for the error
the same thing happened to mine for a while when i first got my ipod it would sync 250 songs or so and then come up with the same thing.

Hi all,
I have the same problem with my Windows 8.1 laptop and my guess is that since I changed my Internet Provider who now delivers IPv6 addresses the problem occurs. A frieend who has a different provider does not have the problem in his home, but when he tries using iTunes at my home with my network he gets the same problem.
I have already solved a previous problem with Outlook 2003 not being able to receive emails from my wifes GMail account although everything else worked fine. The solution here was to enter the IPv4 address of Google POP-Server in the hosts file, overriding the IPv6 address.
Maybe something similar helps with this iTunes error.
If someone knows the hostname of the iTunes Store server, it could be pinged and the IPv4 address could be determined and then entered in the HOSTS file.
I'll continue trying in this direction and will post a solution if I find one.
If someone has the iTunes server name or IPv4 address, please post it.

"The iphone software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occured (-23)"

FYI,
Iphone 4 - iOS 4.3.3 (I would like to update to iOS 5)
Currently in DFU Mode, connected to my Lenovo (Windows OS) laptop.
Now the itunes asked for:
- Remind me later
- Download and update
- Download only.
I try to download and update, after i back up my iphone; when i click update, It's warning from ITUNES
"The iphone software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occured (-23)"
Anyone can help me regarding this problem?

error 23 indicates a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The mac address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. out of date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

An unknown error occurred. You may be able to continue without problems
