  • I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4GS iPhone

    I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4S iPhone.
    Please Help!!

    I had the exact same problem.  Worked fine for a couple days then suddenly getting this error.  I fixed it, however. 
    Do this:
    Open the App Store app on your phone.
    Go to the "Featured" section.
    Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on your Apple ID.
    Screen pops up. Choose "Sign out".
    Scroll to the bottom of the "Featured" section again.
    Sign back in.
    Try your download again.
    This worked for me.  Good luck!

    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 can't connect with the App store.  It says "An unknown error has occurred"

    This just started a few days ago on my MacBook Pro.  My account is working fine - I can access it on my phone.  But I can't get to it on my computer.
    The first sign of trouble was when I tried to use a previously purchase app.  The app wouldn't open and gave me a message saying it wasn't purchased on this computer (which it was) and that I needed to enter my password.  When I entered it, it said "An unknown error has occured".  The first time it happened, I rebooted the machine and then the app opened and I was fine.  Next day same problem.  Our IT guy (not a real IT guy, I work for a small company and he is the most knowledgable about computer so he gets to do double duty) suggested making sure all software was up to date.  I downloaded updates, the computer rebooted, and I was fine again.  Day three comes and same problem.  Rebooting didn't help.  IT guy suggests upgrading to latest OS.  But when I try to access the app store to get the new OS, it asks for my password, and then says "An unknown error has occurred".  The computer can see my account.  It has my ID right, and I have a credit balance which I just updated last night and is being properly reflected on the home page.  But I can't buy anything or see details about my account.  I keep getting the same pop-up.
    Any idea what is happening or how to fix this?

    On what OS?

  • App Store login results in "An unknown error has occurred"

    When I'm trying to login into the app store, I'm always getting the error "An unknown error has occured".
    I tried to use a different login and the result is always the same.
    I'm able to login into iTunes from the same machine, I'm able to login into this forums and I was able to associate the MacBook into the same apple id.
    Why is the App Store the only thing that is not working?
    Thanks,
    L. Pinho

    I solved it (found an entry in another forum).
    Delete the NetworkInterfaces.plist file, that's it...
    Why? I don't have any idea

  • Getting "An unknown error has occurred" when trying to save a new contact

    Scenario:
    Using Outlook 2003 and Oracle Connector for Outlook 10.1.2_03 against an OCS 9 installation.
    When I make a new contact and try to save it I get an error message in a popup window (with the title "Microsoft Office Outlook") with the text "An unknown error has occurred.".
    Anybody seen this?
    How can I troubleshoot this?

    The first thing to do would be to set up logging through Connector. Under the Help menu, select "Outlook Connector Troubleshooting..." and the dialog has a few logging options. The section that might be of interest here is Calendar, since that is where your contacts are stored.
    Other than that, try recreating your user's Outlook profile to see if that fixes the problem.

  • 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.
