I get "an error has occured" when trying to download from the AppStore.  I can not re-download as the button is not active.

I encountered the response "an error has occured" when I downloaded Maverick X from the App Store.  I can not try to re-download as the download button is not active.  I have tried rebooting and to get the download from apple.com but it keeps redirecting to the App Store.
Suggestions?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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.
