Help! Message "pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different l

I had the contents of my (dying) ibook transferred onto my emac. The tech created a new user/desktop on the emac. Now, when I try to open PDF files from a website, I get a drop down window saying this:
"Downloading - users/myname/desktop/xxxxx.pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location."
Points to note: 1) The "xxxxx.pdf" part of the above message changes each time I try to open a pdf document, even the same one, and it does not show the real name of the document (e.g. CollegeApplication.pdf). The xxxxx.pdf is usually written as gibberish, like "86hgkjh.pdf" or "sdfj99f.pdf."
2) this never happened on my laptop;
3) the settings are set in Firefox to download pdf's to my desktop;
4) I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, which I already tried opening before downloading;
5) the settings are also set to open pdfs using adobe.

I had the same problem when I installed Firefox 3, but I think the problem is due to my recent hard drive upgrade. Try changing the download location from "Desktop" in Microsoft Internet Explorer and all other browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc.) to whatever default location you prefer. I never use Internet Explorer, but I think somehow my settings were corrupted when I upgraded my hard drive. I found this solution on another site also.

I am having trouble with downloading a zip file. When I do, it gives me the error message (filename) could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.

(filename) could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.

My iTunes opens in safe mode but when I try to sync my ipad? It says apple mobile device service could not be started because an unknown error occurred 1084

It says apple mobile device service could not be started because an unknown error occurred 1084

I figured it out on my own, and it was an odd fix. I added a password to my account in users, and then made Apple Mobile Device service log in through my account, and now it works.

I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred" HOW do I fix this?

Every time I try to download the new version it just says I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred - Try saving to disk first and then opening the file"

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Hope this is the right forum to ask this question - I get the above error message when trying to download the update of Adobe Flash Player on my Mac desk top. I have done this successfully before but not now. Have I accidentally changed a setting or something?

Hi Captkirkoes,
If you are getting an error when attempting to update the operating system on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

The iphone could not be restorted. An unknown Error occurred (21).

when i restore my iphone using itune this error pop up".The iphone could not be restorted. An unknown Error occurred (21)". what should i do? my iphone cant open..

This is a solution to this problem, but you have to have all your iPhone data backuped before you set the iPhone into DFU Mode (Device Firmware Upgrade Mode)
Please Follow the following instruction Step by Step
     - Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC via the 30-pin connector.
     - Hold Power and Home-Button for ten seconds.
     - After ten seconds, release the Power Button, but keep the Home button pressed until iTunes sees the        device.
     - Once your device into DFU mode, there will only be a black screen on your iPhone.
If you successfully performed these steps, iTunes will give you a message that a device was found in Recovery Mode and restore it to be.
Now you SHIFT and Restore in iTunes button to press together, so that iTunes can refer to the IOS firmware to which you are restoring. If you have followed these steps you shouldn't get the Error 21 anymore.

"The iphone software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occured (-23)"

FYI,
Iphone 4 - iOS 4.3.3 (I would like to update to iOS 5)
Currently in DFU Mode, connected to my Lenovo (Windows OS) laptop.
Now the itunes asked for:
- Remind me later
- Download and update
- Download only.
I try to download and update, after i back up my iphone; when i click update, It's warning from ITUNES
"The iphone software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occured (-23)"
Anyone can help me regarding this problem?

error 23 indicates a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The mac address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. out of date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
Who can help me??
Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
- make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
- do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
- perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
- make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
- after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
Still, I will go through the other tips too.
(will post progress)

I cannot open my Itunes? I keep getting this message: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred. (-50) Help! I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall, but get the message that ITunes.msi cannot be found.

Why am I getting this message when I try to open my ITunes: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)."?

These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
