Make sure you have the correct country selected. Click the round flag icon bottom right side of the App Store window.

  • Cannot access Adobe Folio Builder using Indesign (CS6) on Windows 7, error message is 'An error has occured while trying to sign in to the Folio Builder Panel' [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE]

    Cannot access Adobe Folio Builder using Indesign (CS6) on Windows 7, error message is 'An error has occured while trying to sign in to the Folio Builder Panel' [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE]

    Yes, I can open the DPS portal via the Folio Builder panel within InDesign. Although I have created Folios locally within InDesign CS6, the DPS portal is empty and everthing greyed out with just the text "There are no folios to display. Create folios with the folio builder in InDesign".
    If I try to sign in within the Folio Builder panel in InDesign, I get the error message [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE] . In addition I am also not able to access the "Help" menu from within InDesign although I am connected to the internet.
    To complicate it even further, I am working in the UK whereas all internet control (firewall) and licences are handeled by head office in Germany. I am not sure if this is a firwewall issue or not but if the IT department in Germany could get support from Adobe to understand the access requirements, this may help.
    Hopefully using the forum someone out there will know the answer.

    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.

    This helped me.
    Go to Start -- Accessories -- Command Prompt, make right click and choose run as administrator
    Type this command : netsh winsock reset
    then restart your computer, everything should be ok after this. Good Luck.

    Have either of you had any luck with this issue.  It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes.  I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Brett,
    Well done getting the wireless network secured.
    You have to precede the (hex) password with a '$' in Mac OS, to tell the Internet Connect dialog box that you are keying a hex password (rather than ASCII). This is because the Mac has detected that the network is WEP protected, and leaves it to you to decide how you want to key the password.
    As an alternative, in Internet Connect (or from the AirPort icon menu), you can elect to join an "Other" network. If you select your network again, it'll come up with "WEP Password" as the option of Wireless Security. You can change this to "WEP 40/128-bit hex" and then not have to precede your password with the '$'.
    Alternatively, you could tell us the make and model of your wireless router and we can tell you how to set, and use an ASCII password. From your 10-character hex password, we can see that you're using 40/64-bit WEP. Non-Apple routers can be a bit fussy when using ASCII passwords with 40-bit WEP (don't worry, this is also true for Windows PC's using 40-bit WEP too), but we can talk you through it.
    As a final alternative, as you have such a whizzy Mac, as long as your wireless router supports it, you could use WPA security, and never have to worry about ASCII / hex / '$', etc. Older Macs (particularly original AirPort cards - not AirPort Extreme - and OS9) were limited to 40-bit WEP.

    Hi rebjrbaker,
    I'm guessing that you're trying to log in to the service from within Reader. If that's the case, you may need to update the version of Reader you're using. Choose Help > Check for Updates. You should be using version 11.0.9 (this update was just released on Tuesday, 9/16).
    Best,

  • 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!

  • I got "Invalid link" when I to reset my security questions from rescue email. Moreover when I log in into my Apple ID and click on Passwords and Security I'm thrown out with the message "An unknown error has occurred".

    Here is my problem:
    Need to change my email with the one that currently I'm using for rescue
    Planed to change first the rescue email with a new one.
    But:
    I Forgot the security questions
    Followed the reset security questions instructions.
    Got the email on the rescue address but The link I've got on my rescue email to reset my security questions is invalid. By now the 3 hour window for the validity of the link is gone.
    If I go via Apple ID, I login successfully but when I select Security I'm thrown back into Manage your Apple ID screen that displays now as well this message "An unknown error has occurred"
    Tried several times, the same again and again.
    On top of the long hours on the forums I spent 20 minutes over the phone with the US support on  international charge, eventually I hanged up while waiting too long for the 3 rd expert but got an email later on indicating to clear my browser history and try again, which didn't work. Case number 519598448. Used my laptop with IE and my iPad, same result.

    This problem now appears for me too.
    When using iforgot.apple.com email-verification clicking the reset link results in the "Invalid Link" error.
    The error, that caused me to do this (password failing to verify against iCloud) has vanished since though.

  • 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.
