CS3: "an unknown error has occurred"

There is “an unknown error has occurred” dialogue that pops up when I try to save, this time when I enter text. I also had an issue when I copied the text as a smart object into photoshop and then editing that smart object in illustrator that says that the items are created in an older version of illustrator (even though they were not) and needing updating.
I have reinstalled, removed the adobe illustrator cs3 setting folder, cleared the registry. This is on a windows vista machine.
Any thoughts or advice? System Restore only goes back a few days, and this issue started 2 weeks ago or so.

This might be a permissions problem s you might have to reset the permission on the directories folder s and files which Illustrator is following to get to you files or to the place you want to save the files to. It may be related to any fonts you recently install or perhaps used for the first time. it may have something to do with you Font Cache files which might have to be deleted.
It could be a corrupt font.

'an unknown error has occurred' CS3

I keep getting the error message, 'an unknown error has occurred' trying to save files in illustrator cs3. I've read some forums and they seem to say that Zune has something to do with the error message. I do not have Zune installed on my computer. Does anyone know what causes this error message and how to fix it?
Please help!!

That is quite a general error, more than Zune can cause that. Do you get a -108. What platform are you on?

1. Open the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe folder and look for the folder TypeSupport;
2. Create a namesake folder on your Desktop;
3. Move all the contents to the namesake folder.

CS3 when saving message "an unknown error has occurred"

In illustrator CS3 when trying to saving the message "an unknown error has occurred" pops up. The only way I can get a file to save is saving it as an template. I've tried reinstalling and removing the preferences. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

AArrrrrrrggghhh!!!!!!! phew.. sorry.
I have the same problem and I have come to a schtuck. The problem began out of the blue in my illustrator CS2 which was working fine before, so I upgraded to CS3, and the problem is still there, I have tried removing the preferences, I have uninstalled all versions of illustrator including preferences from the PC and reinstalled only CS3 brand new straight out the box. Still won't save.
Any ideas anyone?
I think it's ridiculous that we have paid £2000 for the New CS3 master collection and it doesn't work properly! how can adobe release software with a problem so big as this and charge so much for it? My boss rang adobe yesterday to ask for help and after a long while of not getting anywhere the adobe guy he was speaking to said 'I've had enough of you' and hung up the phone!!! What is that all about? we are legitimate paying customers of adobe for the last 10 years or more! I have now missed a big deadline because of this and am in a mind to asassinate someone at adobe! hahahaha.
Sorry to rant guys but come on adobe! sort it out!
Anyway,
If ANYONE has an aswer or an idea of how I can fix this problem and get back to work I would be very grateful.
some info about my project incase it helps:
I am using CS3 master collection freshly installed on a Dell precision 650 PC with intel xeron processor, XP operating system, 37.6GB free hard disk space, 2 Megs of ram, Nivida Graphics card.
My Illustrator project is a 0.5x2 metre banner made up of a large number of collaged Hi resolution JPEG photographic images. The only composition I have used is Opacity masks with feather effects.
There is no text in the project and no other elements apart from the masked and feathered images.
the original images are stored on an external hard drive with loads of free space on it.
Any ideas I would be very grateful, as I said I have already tried deleting the illustrator settings and preferences files, and re-installed CS3 to no avail.
Thanks! Beth

An unknown error has occurred (-108). Adobe illustrator will now quit.

HEllo
I have an Adobe CS3 Web Premium. After installing and running the illustrator cs3 this error occurred:
An unknown error has occurred (-108). Adobe illustrator will now quit.
My friend has this problem too. I'd appreciate if you can tell me what is the reason for this problem and how can I correct it and how can I prevent it in the future. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely
Meissam Rasouli

Meissam, you are welcome.
Some of the issues are caused by corrupted files.
The usual suspect is the aiprefs file, which held almost all preferences up to 10; since CS(1), some preferences have been moved to other files in the same folder, so in many cases the advice is to move the folder to the Desktop (deleting does not always work).
In other cases, corrupted fonts are the issue. It has been noted in some cases that the -108 has occurred during loading of font, but moving fonts out of the Fonts folder has not helped.
Is the name TypeSupport, in one word?
I believe the files will be rebuilt with the default values as is the case with the aiprefs and other key files. I believe you will find that it has a new content after your starting Illy.
And it should not affect other applications. It may be used for more Adobe applications without causing trouble, but Illy is known to be more particular than most when it comes to fonts; probably because fonts are both text and curves/art, which is why we call it Type.

Unknown Error has occured on CS4

My team member run the AI CS4 on her XP SP3 machine, and all of a sudden, she kept getting the "Unknown Error Has Occured" error message even by just opening a new or any existing AI files.
What could possibly caused this?
Pls help.
Tried disabling acrotray and there's now Zune btw.

No, he meant do this
1. Quit Illustrator.
2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings folder.
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
Or try logging into a new user and if that does not work try creating a new user and log in there an see if all goes well
But the settings folder could just as well need the permissions repaired

Make sure you have the correct country selected. Click the round flag icon bottom right side of the App Store window.

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 rented a movie via Itunes on my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. Will I still be charged?

I rented a movie via Itunes on my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. I have rebooted Itunes and resumed the download of the movie only to receive the same error code. Has the movie file been corrupted? Can I recover the rental even though the time has elapsed? Will I be charged?

Did you figure this out? I haven't rented a movie in this new iTunes yet and saw one tonight I wanted to rent. Same fricken thing is happening to me. I hate this new iTunes, and I really hate that there are problems like this....why the heck do they have to fix something that isn't broken and break it? This just really stinks.

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?

I have searched the internet but most similar issues revolve around the resource center. I did find one person who just backed up the databases and provisioned a new site with success, but this has not worked. I am using the farm admin account, but all users
get this issue.
Any one got any ideas?

Anyone seen this? If I delete this project the project center loads. Obvisouly I don't want to do that though!

Project Server 2010 Task page - An unknown error has occurred

Hi All,
I have searched inside the forum for similar problems but i didn't find any solution.
We have Project Server 2010 with December CU installed and
we are
experiencing
a serious
problem with two enterprise resources.
They can login to pwa succesfully but when they enter in the Task page the following error is raised:
An unknown error has occurred
There are no errors reported in the event viewer while in the ULS Log I found only this entry but i don't know if it's related with this issue:

It's not a task related errors because i have alredy done an analysis of the resorce's assignments.
I have also verified IIS authentication settings as described in this
post but all had been alredy correctly configured.
We have a farm installation with two physical server:
Application Server with Windows 2008 R2, SharePoint 2010 Enterprise, Project Server 2010
Database Server with Windows 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 SP2
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I faced exactly the same problem: some resources try to connect to My Tasks, and get an Unknown error. No error message in ULS or Eventlog.
I hope I solved the problem, and want to share the experience here.
First, by reading this article,
http://www.projectserverexperts.com/ProjectServerFAQKnowledgeBase/Unknown%20Error%20My%20Tasks%20Page.aspx: even if the SQL Query returns me no records, it gives me the idea to delete (unpublish) some tasks (i managed to identify some tasks which raised
the problem, by assigning a test account on them, and see that the pb happened).
So I decided to delete my project from the Published Database (and keep it in the Draft of course). Than in Project Pro, I opened and Published: the problem seem to be solved.
I don't know the root cause of the pb: maybe some SQL data were corrupted for an unknown reason.
Hope it could help some one ! Don't hesitate to give feedback if you solved this pb with this solution, or workaround.

Ah not to worry i percievierd and managed to figure it out. Thanks to anyone that may have looked at my question!!

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.

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.

The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (3). How do I fix this?

I had a problem with my iPhone 5 connecting to my service provider (verizon) and also to the internet just minutes after I had used the internet to browse before work this morning. I tried soft reset, hard reset, and connecting to my computer, but nothing worked to get it back to normal. I decided to do a system wipe and restore it as well, but I get that error: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (3)." I googled that and searched for literally 7 hours without any luck. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

This has just happened to me today. I have an iphone 5 on Verizon. I was using the internet on the device normally when it started. It couldn't access any online data even though it had 4 bars of service and LTE. I restarted it and it would be stuck "Searching for network". I tried wiping the phone with no luck. It gets stuck at around 99% of the firmware restore process and hangs there for about 25 minutes before itunes gives me the error described above. I tried the recover-mode restore with the same results.
I need a working phone ASAP, this is extremely frustrating!
