Getting "Unknown Error" whenever I try to Download from iTunes or App Store

I first noticed something strange when my phone started randomly asking me to input my Apple ID password. Then my password stopped working on my Apple TV. It prompted me to reset my password, so I did. Now the new password is working on everything (Apple.com, Apple TV) but I am still getting this cryptic message when I try to download music or apps to my iPhone 4S.

Issue resolved.  I received feedback from my MacRumors forum.  I recently activated my cookies filter on my Cisco router - which I forgotten about.  Deactivating the cookies filter solved the iTunes/App Store download problem.

  • HT204406 Getting "Unknown Error" Check internet connection when downloading from itunes match

    I recently uploaded all of my songs from my PC to the itunes match cloud. I was able to sucessfully download a few songs last night. Now when I try to download the songs I get an "unknown" error and to check my internet connection. I have confirmed that my internet connection is working because I am able to access outside websites. I'm not sure where to go from here. any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you,

    There are many versions of this song in the UK Store. If you contact Apple from the iTunes section of the website (make sure you have the purchase details to hand), they should credit you so you can purchase another version of the song.
    When you contact them, mention the problem file so they know to pull it.

  • I had to install a new hard drive on my macbook air and now I am getting unkown error whenever I try to login to itunes

    I had to install a new hard drive on my macbook air and now I am getting unkown error whenever I try to login to itunes. Apple support suggested I reset my password so I did that and still the problem is occuring. Itunes and the app store are working normally on my ipad and iphone. Does anyone know what the problem is. The new disk was installed in France coz I am on holiday there. could there be something I need to change in my settings? I need help urgently as I am trying to finish an assignment and need to be able to access and download from icloud.

  • I repeatedly get "unknown error (4)" when try to download upgrades

    App Store tells me to try again later but I consistently get this error.  I recently had my Apple ID corrupted.  I thought it was fixed but could that be the problem?  Any suggestions are much appreciated!

    I am also having this problem only in the Mac App store... my iPhone updates just fine.  But I've had 2 apps on my mac that I've been trying to update for well over a week, and keep getting the "unknown error (4)"  I have already recently reset my Apple password... Apple actually made me change it very recently... and everything works fine on my iPhone, and I can sign into my Apple account just fine on my mac... it's only when trying to update in the Mac App store.
    I have closed the app store program completely and re-started, that does nothing.  I hated already resetting my password once because I had one I preferred to use that's easy to do quickly for me on my iphone, and they made me change it to something more complicated... I don't want to have to change it again just for this, that would be ridiculous anyway and should have nothing to do with this error, especially since they JUST made me change it like a month ago and since that new password works fine everywhere else within Apple! Closing/resetting the app store does nothing, my recent password does nothing... nothing makes sense with this error!  What the heck is going on??  It's bad enough here on my mac, I can only pray it doesn't start acting up on my iphone also, that would really tick me off!
    I just wish they would get this figured out and fixed ASAP!!!

  • I keep getting an error when i try to download the itunes update pleasenhelp, I keep getting an error when i try to download the itunes update pleasenhelp

    I'be been trying to download itunes update it comes up with an error
    i have tried ti download i tunes 11.0.3 and again an error keeps coming up
    please help

    That is odd. I would uninstall iTunes from the computer and re-install it from scratch. The cool thing is that it won't delete any music or backups and such. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925?viewlocale=en_US this here link walks through uninstalling and re-installing iTunes. The basics are going to your control panel and removing iTunes, Quick time, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support, Bonjour, and Apple application support. Then go to iTunes.com and download a new copy of iTunes. This should resolve the issue!
    If you need further help uninstalling iTunes you may want to call 1-800-my-apple.

  • Can't download from iTunes or app store

    When I enter my password to download an app I get this message. "Cannot connect to the store
    A secure connection could not be established.
    Please check Date & Time setting"
    everything is fine in the date and time setting.... Please help.

    I am having the same problem. It started yesterday 4/18 evening. If I try to download apps or even update apps already on my Iphone I get an error message that says "Cannot connect to the Store A Secure connection could not be established. Please check your Date & Time settings." I have checked the settings they are correct. I have tried changing date and time and then changing back.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • Icloud photo library won't work unless connected to wifi.  If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from iphoto library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.

    If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from icloud photo library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.  If it's truly "storing" a low res version on my phone it shouldn't have to download anything.  I can understand the uploading of pics to library only being done over wifi, but there are plenty of times I'm going to want to send a pic when I'm not going to be near a network.  It does work occasionally, but the norm is that I get the error.

    Hi Ed,
    There is issue with Windows 7 when you send the email. It gives the message you specified.
    But you can always use Adobe Email client to send your images. In this workflow also you would get the error message but you can ignore it and continue to send the mail.
    Thanks,

    I just purchased a month to month subscription for Acrobat Pro and I am getting an error when I try to download the software. after about 50% of the way, it just crashes.
    Thank you,

    I am having the same problem - the install crashes around 40%. 
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.2 and purchased Acrobat Pro monthly subscription.  The error message is: 
    'Acrobat installer has encountered an unexpected failure.  Please try again.  If it continues to fail, contact Adobe support.'
    I have tried several times but keep getting the same error message.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Error Message:  I keep getting this error when I try to download apps or songs :  MZCommerce.CreditBalance Mismatch.Mobile_message   Can someone tell me how to get rid of this?  It is very aggravating when trying to use the IPAD.

    Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
    Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.

    The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files).  Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac.  You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).
