Getting an "unknown error' when trying to sign into iTunes Store

When I try to sign into the iTunes store, it is giving me an "Unknown Error" message, without an error code or anything. I have tried restarting the computer and that didn't help. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Windows 8
iTunes 11
Thanks

I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me...  I only had to reset the iTunes cache
1) Open iTunes
2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

  • "Unkown error" when trying to sign into itunes store

    When I try to sign into the itunes store it says "unkown error" when I try to sign in. If I try again it prompts me to reset my password, which I did twice because I thought maybe I was just an idiot and forgot my password 3x, but that's not it. I can sign in fine online, apparently, using the password that I just reset. However, itunes still will not let me log in, and it's driving me nuts. I've signed out completely, I've restarted my computer, and it still wont let me log in.

    Please help, because itunes customer support is full of incompetant, condescending, *********.

    I get the following error when trying to use the itunes store "your apple id has been disabled".  My account was disabled when someone else had been using it without my knowledge.  I changed my apple id password and the apple id is still fine, but itunes has it disabled.  I verified that the computer is authorized for this apple id.  What to do now?

  • TS1702 I am getting an unknown error when trying to update or purchase apps from the apps store. This is new, after the new OS update. Help

    Hi, I get this unknown error message, twice when trying to update or purchase new apps. It was working fine, then just stopped. I changed my password, but that hasn't worked. Help!

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    1. Settings>Store>Apple ID.
    2. Tap your ID and sign out.
    3. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.
    4. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

  • I am getting an unknown error when trying to download a word document from mail to pages, any help

    I am trying to download a word document from mail into pages and I keep getting an unknown error message, are there special settings for this? Any help much appreciated!

    Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.
