Authorization-Could not complete Music Store Request. Unknown error -208

My daughter, has an IPod and uses Itunes ver 6.
She only uses her ipod and itunes from a single computer.
Recently, I upgraded her Hard drive - Everything was copied over at the partician level to the new drive using Maxblast 4.
ITunes now comes up ok but She cannot play any of her purchased songs or videos. It even has removed the purchased items from her Ipod.
When I try to play a purchased song or video from Itunes. it prompts me to authorize the computer.
When I do that and enter the user name, pw info, etc it returns a screen that says Machine Authorization was Successful. You Have authorized a total of 1 machines out of your available 5. but when I click OK it then gives me another screen saying We could not complete your Music Store Request. An Unknown error has occurred (-280 ) There was an error in the Music store. Please try again later. I have tried multiple times over the past 2 days and get the same response. How do I fix it?
HP   Windows XP  

Interestingly enough - I can access iTunes by using the search feature. For example if I want U2 I can search on U2 and get into the store. But under no circumstances can I get to the iTunes Home page.
It’s not a firewall - at least no on the network. I have 5 Mac’s on the network - all but one have no problem with iTunes - even when I log in under the problematic account. It seems to be something on the one MacBook that is blocking iTunes.
Hope somebody can help.

  • Could not complete iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-4)

    Apologies if this is a FAQ, these forums are a little hard to search.
    Mac OS 10.5.1
    iMac 2.8
    ITunes 7.15
    iPod
    IPhone
    I recently upgraded to the Mac above, added Lepoard, and could sync my music successfully. Then added an iPhone to the list in the last week or so, and also could sync. However, started to get error messages for many of the music in the library, which seemed to require me to re-authorize using some of the older account names I purchased under. Any attempt now to re-authorize the music, or re-authorize (or de-authorize) the computer, with any of the accounts, gives me the messsage in the subject line.
    "Could not complete iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-4)"
    So now I have about 30 gigs of uplayable music. Not happy. Any ideas ?

    I just synced my iPhone and got some errors stating that a few songs weren't authorized to play (it synced fine yesterday). I decided to deauthorize all computers (since I forgot to deauthorize two older ones a while ago). When I tried to reauthorize, I kept getting the -4 error. I had to try at least 5 times before it finally worked. Apple's servers must be getting hammered.
    I'm not sure if this matters... but on the last attempt that worked, I went to the menu-Store-Authorize Computer (instead of clicking on a iTunes purchase to authorize).
    <My address book (synced to Yahoo) is also unable to sync with my iPhone suddenly, too. Something weird is going on>

  • Install Xcode: We could not complete your purchase. Unknown Error.

    After I upgrade the system to Mavericks, I remove the Xcode.
    Then when I use the terminal, the system prompt saying whether to Get Xcode or Get Command Line Tools or something like that. (because I am using git)
    Now I want to install the new version of Xcode, but MAS says: "We could not complete your purchase. Unknown Error."
    I've tried all solutions out there can be found, like:
    1. sign out/back the account
    2. remove app store cookies
    3. delete the app store cache
    4. delete the /var/folders
    Nothing works.
    I doubt it has something to do with the already working Command Line Tools. But I cannot find this can uninstall it since it is installed alone without Xcode.
    Please help.

  • Could not complete iTunes store request error 4002

    When I try to update the Genius app I get the above message " We could not complete your iTunes store request  An Unknown error ocurred, 4002". I also get this error message when I launch the ITunes. I've searched the ITunes for Windows commmunity and found noithing but I found some fixes for Macs with the same problem. Help!!!!!!

    Perfect - thanks so much!
    For anyone else wondering, the clue was in what was displayed on the screen after I turned iTunes Match on again: it asked whether I wanted to add this computer. Having copied my iTunes library over from the old machine, I'd completely forgotten that iTunes Match identifies each computer uniquely (not each iTunes Library), so was never going to work with this one until I specifically added it. Sorted!

  • Flash export MOV could not complete because of an unknown error. Please help.

    This problem has come up in the forum a few times and no solutions are given.  Hope you can help.
    I am running Flash Pro CS6 and want to export a MOV file.  The export seems to work as it should until after building the audio track, and then I get an error:
    Could not complete the operation because of an unknown error. 
    My settings are:
    Quicktime is H.264, frame rate: current, quality: high, multi-pass: yes
    Audio: MPEG-4, AAC, 44.1 KHz, 16-bit mono
    Stop exporting after time elapsed

    You can use either AVI or MOV but MOV will give you a bit of lossless compression (small file size reduction over uncompressed AVI).
    What I mean by lossless is try exporting to MOV, in the video settings set the codec to "Animation", keep the colors at RGB (Millions) or if you need alpha then RGB+Alpha (Millions+). Keep the quality set all the way to the highest. Then go in audio settings and choose anything you like. Export the movie.
    Now take the very large MOV file it made into Adobe Media Encoder. Once it's imported, choose a preset (H.264, etc) and choose your desired compression settings. You will see there are a lot more compression settings. Also set your audio options. Then when you're done customizing your preset just click the green start icon and let AME compress your high quality source to a much smaller file size.
    Just clarifying, after you import your video in AME and you choose your preset you have to click the presets orangeish hypertext to customize the presets settings. It will not overwrite that preset so don't worry about what you change. Pay special attention to the bottom of the custom settings panel because it lets you see the output file size. Adjust your quality controls until you hit the file size you want (both video and audio). You also have a preview panel so you can see the output at any part of the timeline using those settings.

  • Could not complete iTunes Store request.  The Store may be busy.

    ***?!
    i got two iphones. the first one activated just fine.
    the second keeps giving me this on a different iTunes account on a different laptop.
    i don't even get to the first page of activation. is the iTunes store for iPhone activation down?

    Sure blame Vista. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, but instead of going into detail, I'll just say that I rebooted my MacBook Pro into OS X (latest version with all updates) and got the same error. I know this error isn't an overload because I'm not even getting as far as everyone else is. The error also comes back immediately leading me to believe this is the default error message for 500-level server errors. Of course try explaining that to the moron's you get on the phone (granted... they are friendly... just unhelpful, though it's clearly not their faults).
    This is insane. I can't believe how terrible this launch went. They KNEW they'd get this many people on. How could they not stress test their system? Plus... everyone you call is no help at all.
    I'm just going to go in and trade this for annother and then I'll bet I'll be free of this bug (and be able to at least get to the point where I'll be waiting for my activation email, like the rest of you).

  • Could not complete iTunes store request... still!?

    Am I the only person who STILL can't access the activation process in iTunes? It doesn't seem like this is still happening for most people. I have been trying for several hours. I do have the most current version of iTunes.
    Weird...

    What version of the Mac OS or Windows do you have? You must have OSX 10.4 or above, and some versions of Vista (I think the 64 bit versions) have been having problems (as iTunes 7.3 doesn't work properly on that version of Vista).

  • The plugin could not complete because of an unknown error

    I keep getting this error message ever since yesterday using AI CS4. On Friday it was working fine, opened it up yesterday and this happened. It happens when I select certain tools such as rectangle (or any shape tool), magic wand and you cannot use the tool. Happens also with both new documents and existing files -  Once the error pops up, you click ok and it pops up again...and again, every time you move the curser (only way I've found to stop that is to move the curser up to the top of the page and press enter then select a different tool. How do I get rid of this and get my tools working again?
    Thanks in Advance!

    Pokie,
    For sudden strange cases, you may look at this general list (5) is hardly relevant in this case):
    You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC, and reinstall.

  • Adobe Save for Web Error - Could not complete this operation, An unknown error has occurred.

    I can't create a .gif and everytime I do get that error above.
    Is there anyway I fix this?

    I found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
    1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
    2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
    3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
    Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
    Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!

    we could not complete your itune request An unknown error occurred (12002)

    Same problem here. My user1 account (non administrator - but not managed ie. standard) ok for itunes store. My new user2 account (managed/parental) not ok - hangs for about 10 mins then gets the above (-50) error message.
    The user1 I created while setting up my imac was originally an admin account. iTunes store always ok here. I created a new Admin account. Took out administrator privilege on user1. User1 still ok with itunes store. Admin account also ok with store.
    Created user2 - managed / parental - enabled access to itunes. Also enabled parental itunes store access in iTunes preference settings. No go for user2.
    Disabled firewall - still not ok for user2.
    Made user2 into administrator - this acct can now access itunes store.
    Took out admin privileges of user2. Again - error (-50) comes up.
    Made user2 into standard (non managed). Store still not ok.
