Every time I try to update or buy an app from the app store it says there is an unknown error
So everytime I try to update an app or buy an app from the app store it says unknown error (4). I don't know why it does this but it's really annoying and it has been like this for a while now. Itunes works perfectly for me. It's just the app store.
Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and see if you can update or purchase an app.

You can buy an iTunes card and redeem it at the on-line store.

I created an album and have been showing it presentation style, ken burns effects etc. Now every time I try to re-run it it starts from the end, last picture first! Can't seem to be able to reverse it. Any clue anyone?
First try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset iPhoto's preferences and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
Next, if necessary, continue with the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I think my lap top has a lot more problems, then the sun has Hot spots! :)
(not that I am down playing any one's situation, nor want to sound cynical or Condescending).
Though many of my issues have been resolved through a LOT of time, tech support and a couple friends and personal researching.
But I get the "Class not Registered" Every time I try to update Windows,
(I have Mozilla Firefox 30 and Windows 8.1)
On Top of small Error box, I get EXE..on top. But Inside the error box "Class not Registered"
Some of the other issues or problems were self inflicted by not researching properly, so to say the least I am being extremely cautious.
I have the same issue with Class not Registered, and looking for some ideas or hopefully the solution.
After I try running a windows update and any updates for my virus scan "Defender" which is what I believe windows 8 and 8.1 uses, I am not sure about Vista or Windows 7 have, I never used them.
I went right to 8 through a new lap top. Then I got Windows 8.1 (that was about a month ago)
But if anyone does find or even know an answer please reply as soon as you are able, anyone else who may just be reading, if someone gets anything that did work for them, Please Let me know.
Due to time I couldn't read through more Forum suggestions or links that may work for
My Error EXE. "Class Not Registered" :)
BUT will return later in day. Maybe anything I found an answer for I can pass on. i Have had plenty issues since I had a type of crash (Or whatever it was when I was online with a Tech from Microsoft and and he had it so both of us could control the Arrow cursor, I double checked phone number for MS and it checked out legit,
That was the beginning of many days of constant repairing That was back around July 6th 2014 Thanks to everyone who even just reads this, BuddyDThis is might because of your prior change in softwares. so first you have to do run '''sfc''' in run command. and then you see the specific problem which causes this . Since System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.

* Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.
* In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:

Every time I try to update the 4s or 4 it is saying not enough storage. I am really hating this phone now because I am not going to buy storage. We have 5 iPhones on our account and now because of iCloud it does this.
your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

I have os 10.5.8 software on my mac and I need to update the software on my mac so I can update my iphone 4s, every time I try to update my mac with the 6.0 it says it doesn't need any updates, but my mac still has 10.5.8.... any help?? Please...
You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools -
Every time I try to update iPhoto or other apps it says I can not because I bought them under a different account but I didn't.
So the Mac you have did you buy it new or used?
If you bought it used you have to contact Apple and have it removed from the original owners name and Apple ID and then register it under your Apple ID.
The iLife apps on newer Mac computers, ones that came with Lion or newer version of OS X , are now tied to the Apple ID of the original owner. No other Apple ID and password can be used to do any updates on them or Re-Download them if you wipe the drive. That is until you have that Mac's serial number removed from the origiinal owners Apple ID. -

i have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?
You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers. The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari. Hope this helps!

I am unable to update any add-ons at all. Every time I try and install an add-on or even the new "show hidden add-ons" add-on, I get a server error. How do I fix this?
You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.
Also, if your addons appear to go missing after updating there is a workaround http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/09/28/issue-discovered-with-firefox-add-on-upgrades/ And there is a 7.0.1 fix on its way. -
ITunes crashes every time i try and update genius.
I have itunes 10.1.2 and every time i try and update my genius it gets to 75% done and then I get the pin wheel and iTunes does not respond. I have heard people having this problem with older versions of iTunes but no one having it happen recently. Any help would be welcome.
A few others having this problem, and I'm sorry I've got nothing to offer. What I did get through Apple support was that because the error message is coming from Windows, it's not something "in" iTunes that's causing it. So it is some sort of incompatibility that has to be dealt with via Windows. Very disappointing, but will at least save you the grief of looking for a solution via iTunes -- there isn't one.
