An unknown error has occurred when trying to sign in , and I know I putting in the correct info, this stinks can anyone help? Because apple isn't...

urgh... just noticed my previous post said i have mountain lion... i meant that i have snow leopard.  no idea why i messed that up!
anyway, i just tried reinstalling snow leopard from the usb key that came with the computer. Then, I installed software updates until it told me there were no more updates. After that, I tried the app store again, and it still is giving me the unknown error. really irked by that. may have to take it back to the apple store yet again, to see if i can figure out why the app store won't work.

  • I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4GS iPhone

    I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4S iPhone.
    Please Help!!

    I had the exact same problem.  Worked fine for a couple days then suddenly getting this error.  I fixed it, however. 
    Do this:
    Open the App Store app on your phone.
    Go to the "Featured" section.
    Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on your Apple ID.
    Screen pops up. Choose "Sign out".
    Scroll to the bottom of the "Featured" section again.
    Sign back in.
    Try your download again.
    This worked for me.  Good luck!

  • Getting "An unknown error has occurred" when trying to save a new contact

    Scenario:
    Using Outlook 2003 and Oracle Connector for Outlook 10.1.2_03 against an OCS 9 installation.
    When I make a new contact and try to save it I get an error message in a popup window (with the title "Microsoft Office Outlook") with the text "An unknown error has occurred.".
    Anybody seen this?
    How can I troubleshoot this?

    The first thing to do would be to set up logging through Connector. Under the Help menu, select "Outlook Connector Troubleshooting..." and the dialog has a few logging options. The section that might be of interest here is Calendar, since that is where your contacts are stored.
    Other than that, try recreating your user's Outlook profile to see if that fixes the problem.

  • Error: AN UNKNOWN ERROR HAS OCCURRED when trying to update the Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software on an Apple Macintosh computer.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When the camera is connected to an Apple Macintosh computer, a prompt appears that says an update is available for the PMB Portable software. Selecting to update the software later causes the application to not respond and display the unknown error has occurred message. The PMB Portable update is required to make it work with the computer.
    Follow the steps below to resolve this issue.
    IMPORTANT:
    The computer must be connected to the Internet to complete the steps in this solution.
    For the MHS-CM5 and MHS-PM5 bloggie cameras it is necessary to download and install a firmware update before installing the PMB Portable update. The firmware update is only required when installing the PMB Portable update and is available from the same page.
    Select the option to Update Nowin the PMB Portable window.
    Download and save the PMB Portable update PMBPMAC12_Upgrade1004a.dmgfor Mac.
    After completely downloading the update, close the PMB Portable window. Make sure the application is closed by removing or ejecting the UNTITLED or NO NAME icon on the desktop. However, leave the PMBPORTABLE icon.
    Close any other unnecessary applications that may be running on the computer.
    Open the PMBPORTABLE icon on the desktop.
    Drag the PMBP_Win.exefile to the trash.
    NOTE: If PMBP_Win.exe file is locked and cannot be moved, unlock it by doing the following:
    Select the file.
    In the drop-down list, click Get Info.
    In the General section, next to Locked, click to remove the check mark.
    Empty the Trash to completely remove the PMB_Win.exefile.
    Run the PMBPMAC12_Upgrade1004a.dmgto install the latest update.
    Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

  • IBooks for IPad 2 Unknown  error has occurred when I try to download ?

    iBooks for IPad 2 Unknown error has occurred when I try to download ?
    Every time I try to download iBooks from AppStore it give me a unknown Error when it starts to load.  Has any one else ever had this problem and any way to fix this.
    Thanks

    Fixed!!--Same error issue, but I hadn't downloaded any apps that required syncing. New iPad2 this Wednesday (6/15/11). Per other suggestions on this forum I tried hooking up to the laptop (already had latest iTunes loaded before my iPad2 came), iTunes started up, went to Apple iStore, login, confirm payment, try to download 'iBooks' it says I already have it. Look at the iPad and it's there.
    This fix took all of 3-minutes and all is good. Now to learn to move things around. Newbie here  Thanks to the forum for tips on things to try. I need to go back through documentation to see why I had such a problem. Not exactly plug-n-play, but then again, I fighting the urge to 'right-click'.   Love the iPad2 so far. My first Apple-anything.

  • Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

    Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
    Thanks!
    disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

    Hi ...
    Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
    Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.
