Getting "Unknown Error"

I just tried to download a free game from AppStore, after entering my password I'm getting "Unknown error".  I know I'm entering correct password, it worked fine last night.

I solved it by following instructions from Demo, on another post.  Thanks Demo, it worked.

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 again.

  • I get "Unknown Error." when trying to re-log into the iTunes Store for Windows

    My AppleID and password work when using a web browser and logging in here, but not when i try to log in through iTunes for Windows.
    My events leading up to the error are below. Any suggestions for a fix/solution?
    1) "Unauthorized Computer" message when trying to play newly bought iTunes movie.
    2) Authentication Failed using AppleID
    3) Sign out completely
    3a) Try to sign in, but get "Unknown Error."
    4) Uninstalled iTunes
    5) Reinstalled iTunes
    6) Login attempt: Unknown Error
    7) Tried deleting "SC Folder" from User Tips
    8) Login attempt: Unknown Error
    Any thoughts on what I could do differently to get this resolved?

    How I solved my UNKNOWN ERROR login issue:
    I figured out that I had downloaded the 32 bit version of ITunes but I have the 64 bit version of Windows 8.    So I uninstalled the 32. and downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of ITunes and everything worked just fine.  The Windows 8 firewall was not an issue.
    How to determine your version of Win 8.     Go to Control Panel, System & Security, then System and that screen shows the version.    
    I just brought home a new Toshiba laptop and was surprised to see that I have the 64 bit version.  But pleased that I fixed the agrivating ITunes issue.
    Good luck!

    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.

    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.

  • When using my new password, I get unknown error and cannot access the app store. help?

    When trying to use my latest password, I get unknown error on my mac air and cannot get accesss to download Lion,
    Ugh, after spending an hour at Genius downloading Leopard so I could come home nad download Lion,
    Help?

    What you are telling me is contradictory information. So you will have to start over and give us proper details. One can not download Leopard for example. Or even Snow Leopard.
    Can you also give me a screen shot showing me this exact error message on your system?
