HT4623 keep getting a generic error message when updating

I keep getting a generic error message when trying to update my iphone3gs. I have done it while connected to the computer and through wifi. When I am connected to the computer it stated, check your connectivity as the update timed out (I did a check and everything worked fine) when I tried through wifi, it just said it failed to update. Um, no help there.

I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me... I only had to reset the iTunes cache
1) Open iTunes
2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

I keep getting the follow error messages when I try to sign into iTunes store or redeem a song code: We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again

I keep getting the following error messages on my Mac when I try to redeem a song code: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later." and then, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

Hello, constance132.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when receiving error -50.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7:  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

I keep getting time out error messages when trying to install flash player

I've put a new install of Win 7 64 bit pro onto a new hdd. All other s/w has worked fine and not given me any issues except for adobe flash player. If I just install FP 11 it installs ok. Issue happens when I try to install the "other" version for Steam. The install screen stops at 11%, shoots up to 47%, then I get a timeout error message. If I uninstall and install the Steam version 1st it works then the regular version gets the same timeout error. I have folllowed all advice from previous threads on this topic such as disabling firewall (I use Panda), a clean adobe install using the flash player uninstall program and removing reader as well then going through the registry and removing all mention of adobe, etc, etc.
I found a partial way around this. I installed the Steam version of flash player, then found a website that I could download flash player 10 executable from. I was able to run that and get both versions of flash player going on my system. Then the flash player went and found the update to version 11. I've just tried to install that and I end up with the exact same error messages all over again.
Is there website that I can download the executable file for flash player 11 from or a link to it on the adobe website?

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

Help. I keep getting the same error message when I publish

It no longer allows comments on the new entries. I have no idea what is up.
the error message is “/Web/RSS/iWeb/Site/Blog/rss.xml”.
Can you help?

I have phoned Apple care but no joy.
I have sent the following to •Mac Customer Support:
I am using iWeb version 1.1.2 [Browser Safari 3.0.2]
Yesterday I was able to update my website without a problem.
Today, when I try to publish changes to my site I get the following message at the und of the uploading process.
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/RSS/iWeb/my site's name/Blog/rss.xml”
I noticed this first at about 0900 GMT
I attempted several times with the smallest of updates with the same result.
I tried a computer restart - permissions repair. No joy.
4 others have reported the same problem on the discussion board within an hour [one more just posted!].
I was about to try reinstalling iWeb but now suspect that it is something outside my control.
I will post any reply I get here.

Keep getting 'NOT READY' error message when trying to re-authorize my computer after a hard drive re

need help, very frustrated
can not get it to work
also having trouble with Reader, I get a message that the book can not be downloaded because it is already in my library but it does not appear and so I am unable to read it

also having trouble with Reader Do you mean with ADE (Adobe Digital Editions), or with an ereader device.
Might be worth double-checking your authorization.
If that doesn't help, post back with more detail.
~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

I keep getting the following error message when using Firefox: Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIDOMJSWindow.setTimeout]

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

I keep getting crashes and error messages when trying to use LiveCycle. So far, the most I have been able to is create and name 3 text boxes.

Despite having uninstalled, reinstalled, change compatibility, run as admin and a host of other "fixes", LC keeps crashing, closing out and otherwise failing to operate. At this point the most I have been able to accomplish has been inserting 3 text boxes and then naming them. As soon as I change the caption name on the 3rd box (or sooner) the program stops working and I get the wonderful message from windows telling me, the program has stopped. I needed the extra input from Windows because, you know, when the program crashes I was just thinking it was naptime. 2.5 hours I have spent so far trying to fix this. Someone please help me!!

Sounds to me like openssl is installed on your system but the info on it is now missing from the local pacman database (/var/lib/pacman/local). In other words, pacman forgot that you installed it. So in your second clip of code, pacman is complaining that files belonging to openssl exist in your filesystem, since you do have it installed but it no longer knows that.
Don't know if this is the proper way to fix it, but I imagine forcing a reinstall of openssl (pacman -Sf openssl) should get pacman to reinstall openssl so that it knows it is installed.
Bregol,
pacman -Sf openssl
seemed to have fixed it. Did not know of the force reinstall option. The necessary directories in /var/lib/pacman/local/openssl have been created.
Thanks,

Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?
This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
Good luck,
Hunt
