I repeatedly get "unknown error (4)" when try to download upgrades

App Store tells me to try again later but I consistently get this error.  I recently had my Apple ID corrupted.  I thought it was fixed but could that be the problem?  Any suggestions are much appreciated!

I am also having this problem only in the Mac App store... my iPhone updates just fine.  But I've had 2 apps on my mac that I've been trying to update for well over a week, and keep getting the "unknown error (4)"  I have already recently reset my Apple password... Apple actually made me change it very recently... and everything works fine on my iPhone, and I can sign into my Apple account just fine on my mac... it's only when trying to update in the Mac App store.
I have closed the app store program completely and re-started, that does nothing.  I hated already resetting my password once because I had one I preferred to use that's easy to do quickly for me on my iphone, and they made me change it to something more complicated... I don't want to have to change it again just for this, that would be ridiculous anyway and should have nothing to do with this error, especially since they JUST made me change it like a month ago and since that new password works fine everywhere else within Apple! Closing/resetting the app store does nothing, my recent password does nothing... nothing makes sense with this error!  What the heck is going on??  It's bad enough here on my mac, I can only pray it doesn't start acting up on my iphone also, that would really tick me off!
I just wish they would get this figured out and fixed ASAP!!!

  • Getting "Unknown Error" whenever I try to Download from iTunes or App Store

    I first noticed something strange when my phone started randomly asking me to input my Apple ID password. Then my password stopped working on my Apple TV. It prompted me to reset my password, so I did. Now the new password is working on everything (Apple.com, Apple TV) but I am still getting this cryptic message when I try to download music or apps to my iPhone 4S.

    Issue resolved.  I received feedback from my MacRumors forum.  I recently activated my cookies filter on my Cisco router - which I forgotten about.  Deactivating the cookies filter solved the iTunes/App Store download problem.

    I found htis other post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3401328?start=0&tstart=0
    I also found this in another post
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

    A -69 suggests a damaged movie file.
    Just in case (even though it's for different error message numbers), perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

    why do i get 3072 error code when trying ot download 6.0.4

    Some details, please?
    Based on the version number, you seeking to upgrade Safari?
    What OS X version?
    How are you upgraded or downloading the software?   (Directly downloaded, or via Software Update?)
    Have you tried quitting all applications, and then performing the Software Update?   (Discussion per this thread — but that thread is for iTunes, and I'm guessing you're looking at Safari here?)  If that doesn't work, I'd keep everything quit, reboot, and try again.

  • I keep getting an error message when trying to download i tunes. It says it's looking for MSVCR80.dll and I find it on my computer so I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

    I keep getting an error message when trying to download itunes. It says it can't find "msvcr80.dll, but when I search for it on my computer it is there. My itunes was working just fine before I got the message to download the latest upgrade. I've not had any problems doing that before now, so don't really know what to do.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    cornman30
    What computer operating system?
    And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
    The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
    The following is the iTunes' document how to.
