Getting Unknown error when updating apps

Has anyone seen this when trying to update apps on iPad 1?

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again.
NOTE - in iOS 5 go to Settings>Store>Tap your ID and sign out.

Keep on getting unknown error when updating ipod

I keep on getting unknown error (-4) whenever i try to update songs and podcasts into my ipod video and it won't update anything at all!

I know it does not deal with the same error number, but try this article. Also, make sure your iTunes and iPod software are up-to-date (see here for iTunes and here for iPod).

Why do I get unknown error when I try to add to my iCloud storage

Why do I get unknown error when I try and add storage to iCloud account ? I have funds in account but I do not have a credit card # on file.

This didn't solve it for me. Card details already there, and iTunes purchases working fine.
But just to be sure I' have re-entered and resaved my card info and checked, re-entered and re-checked my appleID info.
Still not working.
Anyone got any other suggestions?

Why do I get "unknown error" when trying to download apps with my iPhone when I put the correct password in?

I keep getting "unknown error" message come up when I try to get an app. I have put my password in correctly but I then get a message saying I've put my password in incorrectly too many times. So I change my password but I still get the "unknown error" message. I have changed my password 4 times now and nothing is working

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.

I have a problem connection to app store on iPad2. I get "unknown error" as a message. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix?

Sometimes - and I stress sometimes - this can help. Sign out, restart your iPad and sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out. Restart.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. 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 sign into your account. Then try to update your apps.

Same deal for me. I found an answer at ipadforums.com that fixed it for me. Go to settings, click on store, click on your user Id, sign out, and then sign back in. Hopefully it works for you too.

5002 error when updating Apps Windows Vista

Past week continually getting this error message saying there was a problem with the iTunes Store, please try again later.
I have contacted Apple support by email and have a case number. I have followed the advice given including re-entering payment details, re-installing iTunes to ensure I have the latest version, deleting the SI directory, and other actions.
I can still update Apps in my iPad. Anyone else getting this? Not to happy with unknow error, please try again later
Bill.
Edit: Also getting occasional error when closing iTunes reporting iTunes has been closed to protect windows.

Just tried again, downloaded App updates from iTunes on my VAIO Vista PC.
Apologies for being so impatient! Still do not like unkown error in iTunes store message as it seems unprofessional not to know what was wrong.

Could not purchase error when updating apps

When I try to update apps on my iphone, I get the error "Could Not Purchase "Insert App Name Here". An Unknown error occurred (5002)."
Mac Pro, OS X 10.7.5. iTunes 11.0.4. I have never had this error before. Until I updated of course :>(. Before the update button read "Update Free Apps" or something like that. Some of the paid apps update fine, but not the free ones, and all the updates R free regardless...

*Restore is a last option you can try. There are more options below you can try before a restore
*Erase all content and settings is also a last option to try
-Reset Network Settings, This will erase all WiFi Passwords, VPN info if you set that up and may also remove your Apple ID off the iPhone to be added later. Does not affect actual data content.
-Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings - Confirm - Once iPhone is backup and running proceed to update an App
You may also wish to sync a free app from iTunes to the iPhone. This will carry over your latest iTunes account information and then update App that needs update again. If you feel you need to deauthorize the iTunes account and reauthorize the account more information about this below.

Keep getting unknown error when connecting iPod?

Each time I try connecting my iPod in I get an error message in iTunes. It does the same thing when I connect my iPhone in too.
The iTunes version is the one before 9.2 came out.
I get an error saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPod because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)."
Please help I'm not sure what's wrong and can't find anything on this issue! D:

well last I tried it did but I'm not using it now because it's at geek squad for repair so that's why I'm using the mac. I've always had this problem with this mac but never addressed it since I used my pc in the past. I think the problem may be is the mac needs updating. It's a G3 but I'm planning on taking it in and having it updated to the newest os/processor, all that good stuff.
But I just switched usb cables and that seemed to work for the time being. Thankfully

"unknown error" when syncing apps

I can download from the App Store (most of the time, at least), but every time I download to iTunes and then try to sync to the iPhone, I get an error like this:
The application "XYZ" was not installed on the iPhone "(iPhone name)" because an unknown error occurred (-4).
Anyone seen this, or (better yet) know what to do about it?

I have this same problem with 6 of my apps now. A month or so ago (before the update?) a second sync would clear this up. Now i get it every time I try. Something is definitely broken here.
A workaround that may worked is to deselect the apps giving you the error (from the Applications tab in iTunes), sync, then re-check them and sync again. This has worked for me in the past.
I do hope Apple fixes this annoyance though.

"Unknown error" when updating an iPhone 4 from 5.1 to 5.1.1 and "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" when restoring

OTA update says there have been an error updating. When I try to update or restore to 6.0b4 (iPhone3,1_6.0_10A5376e_Restore.ipsw) - the device is registered in iOS Provisioning Portal - I still get the same errors. What am I doing wrong?

Unknown error when downloading apps

Hi
I have this problem on both my Mac and my iPhone. When I first got my Mac and my iPhone, I used my family member'ss Apple ID, and downloaded a lot of apps. Afterwards, I created my own Apple ID.
I'm facing this problem now where everytime I update (free) apps, it would ask me for my old apple ID information, which I don't have anymore.
The only option I see is to delete the whole app and re-download it again on my ID. It worked for 90% of my apss. However, there are some apps that still show up on the updates page of App Store, after I deleted it. And when I try to download it, it would ask for the password of my old apple ID (where I originally download with). I change the email and password when I was prompt, and it gives me "unknown error" "We Could Not Complete Your Request, There was an error in the App Store, Please try again later(4).
I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
Thanks.

Getting unknown error when uploading to iCloud

When I try to upload a document to iCloud from pages, I get "An unknown error occurred." This happens at the point where it's creating a word doc. If I continue it comes back with this error "One or more of the selected download formats couldn’t be created."
This is a document I started with Page on my iPad, downloaded to the mac via iWork.com and am now trying to upload back with updates. If I tell it to continue to upload after the error, the document does not show up.
Steps (nothing advanced here):
"Share" menu -> "Upload"
I am using the latest Mac version of Pages on 10.7.2 and latest iPad version of Pages on iOS 5.
My goal is to just sync the document for my own personal use between my Mac, iPad & iWork.com. No need for sharing here.
Thanks,
G

This seems to be a few problems all at once. I narrowed down the "word" error to something in the template. I rebuilt the file using a blank document, copied the text over to and copied back from TextMate (to strip out any formatting) and then it at least *said* it uploaded without error. When I then looked at the iWork.com web page the doc was not there. I'll move this over to the iCloud threads to see if I can get an answer on why it's not showing up.
