Error has occurred. Cannot save changes.

When I try to purchase an app, I get a screen asking me to fill out security questions. I fill all of them in and click on "done" and it says "an error has occurred. cannot save changes". I did a google search and apparently this has been going on for several years. But no where did I find a solution.

Were you able to find a solution? I have the same problem

  • Error message: iMovie cannot save changes to the library!?!

    iMovie crashed my computer and now I can't creat a new movie.
    Here's the full error message:
    iMovie cannot save changes to the library.
    The hard disk where your library is located may be full or unavailable or permissions may have changed. To avoid losing your work, quit iMovie.
    What's up with this? I tried trashing the preferences, but got the same message. I have a 27-inch late 2013 iMac running Mavericks with 445.55 GB free space.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    You've already tried trashing iMovie preferences (By the way think in Mavericks you have to reboot as well after this for the new preferences to take effect) .  One other thing to try is creating a new user account, logging in and seeing if you can create a new project in iMovie (of course you won't see your exisitng projects).  If you can then iMovie itself is OK.  If not  then the only other thing I can think of is re-installing iMovie  (see http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/How-To-Re-Download-Apps-From-The-Mac-Ap p-Store.htm)
    Is everthing else working OK after your computer crash?  Maybe you should also run Verify disk in Disk Utility.
    Maybe someone-else has some other suggestions (I have not heard of this problem before)?

  • How can get Dreamweaver to stop error message: an ftp error has occurred- cannot connect to host?

    Dreamweaver is locking me out when I try to connect to the host via ftp. I get the error message: "An ftp error has occurred - cannot make connection to host". This error message started yesterday when I used the wrong host ftp address too many times. I have since received the correct ftp address from my website host, but the system won't even let me log in...it just gives me that error message when I click the connection button on the panel. My website host recommends that I uninstall Dreamweaver and re-install it again. My concern is, if I un-install the Dreamweaver app, which I downloaded from the Cloud, will the Cloud know I've un-installed Dreamweaver and allow me to download it again? Please help.

    See my response in your most recent thread. Please don't double post like that - it can confuse things considerably when replies come in to both threads.

  • A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001)

    When I attempt to use Software Update I get the following message: "A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001)"
    I am connected to the Internet, can connect with iDisk no problem. Manual downloading also works.
    Any ideas? Do I trash a corrupted file or what?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I troubleshot this problem with a helpful Apple tech person who provided a workaround:
    Establish a second identity. After you log out of your own identity and into the second identity, you can successfully use software update. He had me trash a number of items deep within the system but nothing else worked. I also ran the Utilities program both off the system and the 10.5 disk with no effect.
    So far then, the only solution appears to be the second identity route or to manually download and apply updates. Quite a mystery I'd say!
    Any ideas out there?

  • I tried to install ios7 last night and the screen is now on itunes with the usb symbols  Plugged the ipod into the laptop where itunes is stored.  Tried to restore only to be advised that a 3194 error has occured  cannot get any further please help!!

    Hi  I tried to install ios7 last night and the ipod touch now has a frozen screen with the itunes logo and the usb logo  I plugged the ipod into my laptop and tried to restore only to be met with the message 3194 error  cannot restore this ipod  please help thanks

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • 'An unknown error has occured' on save

    Hello forum,
    I've read lots of threads with this title, so I'm sure you have too, but I haven't yet come across one that addresses the specific problem I've been encountering. I have it occuring in a couple of files right now - neither will allow me to save as AI files, but are perfectly happy with EPS. The first time it happened I systematically deleted stuff until I narrowed it down to one problem object, no more than 15 or so paths and nothing obviously unique or strange about it. Now it's just happened again, and again a single, relatively simple object is causing the hiccup. Delete the object, file saves fine. Redraw the object, file saves fine. I guess my question really is, why would an apparently innocuous object, or perhaps path component of it, cause Illustrator to act like this and how can I avoid it?
    This problem has persisted through using CS3 and CS5, deleting prefs etc.

    I just went on deleting until I was down to a single path that still won't save. I can wiggle it around, change its weight, convert its anchors...
    ...as I was typing I fiddled a bit more, changed its colour and it saved. But that doesn't make any sense; every other line was the same colour!

  • I tried restoring my Ipad 2 and when it was trying to update the new software, this thing pops up saying an error has occured cannot update software. My ipad is still stuck on the apple logo.

    I tried restoring my ipad 2 and when its trying to extract the new software this pop up appears on the screen and says ERROR: cannot update software or something. My ipad still doesnt return to the home screen. It's still stuck on the apple logo. I only had this for a year. Is it broken?

    If your ipad had no problems before, then it is your computer then may fail you. Try to restart computer and ipad.Try to disable antiviruses. If that happens again and you have apple store close by you can set up appointment, or try another computer.

  • Keeps coming up an unknown error has occurred have tried changing the password numerous times

    There are many forms of unknown errors. Was there anything else along with this mentioned?

  • Word 2008 A file error has occurred. Check your network connections . . .

    Word 2008 12.1.2 throws an error dialog when trying to save a docx file:
    "A file error has occurred. Check your network connections or make sure the disc is properly inserted and not defective (nameoffile.docx)"
    Newsgroups recommend to trash the Normal.dotm and let Word re-create that template but that doesn't solve the problem.
    Newgroups also recommend specifying the file location of User Templates. That's doesn't help either.
    A new file, however, does not appear to be a problem after following these suggestions. So there may be something wrong with my file.
    I suspect it has something to do with the gutter and mirror margins because when these features are manipulated, Word 2008 inserts an extra "section next page" that I am not happy with, and the page numbering and sometimes section numbering gets thrown off.
    Actually, I don't care WHY it's happening. I just want to know HOW to avoid this error. I cannot save changes to an important docx file anymore.
    My work around: "Save as" to doc format and continue working!
    However, I would prefer to keep working in docx format because Word bloats doc files incessantly, but docx seems to keep file size in check.

    that was only a temporary fix. It didn't work well for long. Back to problems with both doc and docx versions of the same file.
    Are there any other general swathes I can make, e.g. repair permissions (been there, done that)? I have trashed Normal.dotm, the 2008 preference files and repaired permissions.
    docx files throw the error dialog, doc files crash Word on a regular basis.
    Any more ideas?

  • An unknown error has occurred manage appleid

    I needed to reset my security questions so i went to appleid.apple.com . however when i clicked manage my id and tried to log in, it would redirect me back to the previous page saying "An unknown error has occurred" I had changed my country from USA to Singapore before this.

    I was with the same issue, but when I tried on the following day, it works. I guess it was a problem with the server. Try it again, I think it will work.

  • When I enter my password to purchase a song, I need to create new security questions. Whenever I finish making thm and submit them, a box says "An error has occurred. We could not save your changes." How do I make it go away?

    When I enter my password to purchase a song, I need to create new security questions. When I finish writing them out and I hit submit, a box comes up with the words: "An error has occurred. We could not save your changes." What does that mean and how do I make it go away?

    Potentially the issue may be the combination of actual distance and the presence of any Wi-Fi interference at the location of the AirPort Express that may be the culprit here. The bottom line is you would want the Express to be within a 25+ dB range of the Extreme to be sure that it can consistently stay connected to it.
    For more details on proper base station placement, check out the following AirPort User tip. Please post back your results.

  • "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (-48)"

    *The iPod "Ash" cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (-48)*
    Has anyone else had this pop up to themselves or does anyone know how to get anywhere on getting it fixed.
    When I try to upload my iPod onto my iTunes, once it gets recognized that pops up and it won't progress anymore. I've tried the Five R's, which haven't helped me and it has also screwed up my album covers, but that is the least of my worries.
    If anyone knows how to help me out, that would be very appreciated.

  • Illustrator files cannot be opened: Could not read the file because an error has occurred.

    I cannot open some files from  Illustrator which contain PNG files placed. When I try to open the file, I get a message saying: "this png contains addtional data for Adobe fireworks, which will be discarded upon save." When I press "ok" I get the same screen again. When I press "cancel" I get: "coulld not read the file because an error has occured". I am currently working on a Mac Mavericks. Using Illustrator cc and Fireworks CS6.

    Eliana,
    If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
