Could not sign in - An unknown error has occurred. On my iPod touch attempting to sign-on to iTunes.
My iTunes login works on other devices.

Try refreshing the ID by signing out, 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 download again.

  • HT1414 Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

    A quick Google search for Error 2001 would indicate that this occurs when you have a jailbroken phone or were trying to downgrade iOS. Is that true for you?

  • Iphone ios6 update could not be updated an unknown error has occured 1602

    Hello,
    So I have an iphone 4s, never had any issue until I tried updating to the new ios6 and shortly while it was applying the ios6 update, it stopped and gave me this error:
    could not be updated an unknown error has occured 1602.
    To which my Win 7 64 pc would not see it anymore, and itunes would not see it.  Went through what apple suggested removed everything and reinstalled itunes, did not work.  The only way I could get my iphone working was plugging into another pc running an older version of itunes and restore it.  Once done I went back to the original PC worked fine to sync, but when I tried yet again to update to IOS6 it crashed again. 
    I have spent way too much time on this, spent way too much money on apple products (still need to update another iphone, and ipad, an itouch and an iphone 5), I need this fixed, who can help?
    Image shows what happens:

    "This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."

    Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

  • "The iPod could not be restored.An unknown error has occurred (1418)" Help!

    Hope someone can please help me.
    iTunes is asking me to restore my iPod, but an error occurs each time. This is the chain of events.
    1) I connected my iPod to iTunes and it asked if I wanted to update iPod software. I clicked yes.
    2) The iPod then changed from a colour screen to a monochrome screen.
    3) I then had problems with my USB Connection/Driver which I have now resolved.
    4) My iPod asked me to connect to iTunes and restore.
    5) I connect to iTunes and the following message appears
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" So I clicked the restore button.
    6) The restore progresses until the following message appears
    "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred. (1418).
    Basically I have read everything I could get my hands on to try and solve but nothing seems to work.
    Really looking forward to some solution.
    Cheers.

  • Is there any hope for my ipod touch .. tried to update. clicked restore and now the message i receive is The ippod "iPod" could not be resored. An error has occured (1)   could someone please help

    what does error (1) mean... not able to restore iPod touch... please help

    Usually indicates a hardware failure. Try restoring again, on a different computer if you can. And use Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. If that fails then it is nearly certainly a hardware issue as I said.

  • IPhone could not be restored an unknow error has occured (9)

    i was updating my iPhone OS when my niece knocked the cable off my computer & rebooted . Now I'm trying to restore my iPhone & getting this message ...

    That's because your phone was unexpectedly disconnected. Close iTunes, re-boot your computer, disable all security software & firewalls, then see if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • Itunes will not load due to An unknown error has occurred (-42408).

    in Windows iTunes will load but fails every time with "An unknown error has occurred (-42408)."  There is no obvious way to uninstall iTunes.  This includes manually starting iTunes from the Start menu and pluggin in an iPad2.
    How can iTunes be uninstalled/reinstalled or fixed?

    I just finished a re-install of iTunes 10.6.3.25 which worked fine.  I am using Windows Vista.  I logged off the Admin account and logged into a user account.  I plugged in the iPad2 and it never got to the sync that normally happens automatically.  then I got the -42408 error followed by another error:  iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPad "iPad".  Go to the Summary tab in the iPad preferences and click Restore to restore this iPad to factory settings.
    If I do this, will I lose all the Apps that were purchased?  Or will I need to re-download them?  But most importantly, will doing this Restore fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas or proven solutions!

  • IPod will no restore shows unknown error has occured with code 1429, how do i fix this probem?

    Ipod classic 80G will not restore, says "An unknown error has occured, error code 1429" how do i fix this problem?

    This has just happened to me today. I have an iphone 5 on Verizon. I was using the internet on the device normally when it started. It couldn't access any online data even though it had 4 bars of service and LTE. I restarted it and it would be stuck "Searching for network". I tried wiping the phone with no luck. It gets stuck at around 99% of the firmware restore process and hangs there for about 25 minutes before itunes gives me the error described above. I tried the recover-mode restore with the same results.
    I need a working phone ASAP, this is extremely frustrating!
