IPad app store "unknown error" message when updating app

iPad app store "unknown error" message appears when updating app

Kathryn,
Had the problem also.  Found in the forums and it worked for me:
go to settings
go to app store or "store" on my ipad
click on the apple id
sign out
sign in, again with id and password
then do update.
Hope this helps.

  • TS3219 Is anyone receiving a "unknown error" message when updating/getting new apps?

    Before and after installing the new update I started receiving an "unknown error" message when trying to update apps. I changed my password thinking that was it but I am still getting the error message.

    Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again and see if that works for you.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sign in again -Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign in.
    If that doesn't work either, reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Unknown error 400 when updating apps through iTunes.

    I have been getting an error message 400 when trying to update apps from the app store on my macbook. I can only update them from my iphone. I am able to purchase and download the original apps as well as music and movies. Are there any fixes for this issue? I do not have this problem on my imac.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem and after a full day on the phone with Apple, there was no solution. Then, I tripped over it! The issue was with a third party program that was supposed to be allowing all traffic, but wasn't. The program is NetBarrier and once it was removed and my MacBook Pro was rebooted, all was great. The iMac wasn't affected (in my case) because I never installed that program on the iMac.
    I blogged it here: http://www.wickedblog.com/2010/03/23/itunes-wont-update-apps-itunes-error-400/. I hope this helps others avoid hours of searching.

  • Error message when updating apps

    This is what I get when I try to update an app:
    We could not complete your purchase
    INSTALLERROR_DISTRIBUTION_SIGNED_BYAPPLE
    I have deleted preferences, cookies, caches from Library that was suggested from one topic. I tried the code in Terminal too suggested from another topic. Nothing works.
    The App Store has always run EXTREMELY SLOW, but now I can't even get it to work at all.

    it seems like a bug

  • Unknown error message when trying to update or download Apps?

    Hello!  I have had no problems till now, and have been happily downloading and updating for 9 months.  Yesterday I received an unknown error message when I tried to update an App on my IPad 2, and have since been unable to update or download. Have tried closing down and restarting, changing password, and usual things.  Any good ideas? Does this happen often?  Everything is working, I simply can't download from App store.  Thank you for any helpful suggestions.

    Read my post in this discussion. Signing in and out of the account worked for the OP in that thread.

  • Why am I receiving an unknown error message when try to upgrade OS 10.8 to Yosemite?  It also says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later (4)."

    Why am I receiving an "unknown error message" when I attempt to upgrade my X OS from 10.8 to Yosemite?  It says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later (4)."  This happens only when I check for updates/upgrades for my software and then try to upgrade Yosemite in the App Store. Thanks for any help!

    Hi.

  • Error message when updating Itunes...can not open Itunes program

    I am recieving error message when updating Itunes for my computer.  The error message reads "MSVCR80.dll is missing and the other error message reads Error 7  (Windows error 126)"  I can not open my Itunes.  I have reloaded the Itunes onto my computer but still have the same error messages.  Please help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • "Unknown Error" Message when saving Illutrator CS3 file

    I get this unknown error message when attempting to save an illustrator file.(CS3). I tried to open and then save several files with the same resulting error message. As a work around, I have reverted to working in CS2 until I can get this resolved.

    Chris -
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
    Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

  • I am getting an un expected error message when updating the setting to "extend network".  Is there an obvious setting I may be missing?  Cisco router being used.

    I am getting an un expected error message when updating the setting to "extend network".  Is there an obvious setting I may be missing?  Cisco router being used.

    If you are trying to "extend" using wireless only, you may not be aware that Apple designed the "extend" feature as a proprietary setting to only work with other Apple routers.
    It is extremely unlikely that this will work with a Cisco router.
    If your plans call for connecting the AirPort Express to the Cisco router using a wired Ethernet connection, it should be possible to configure the Express that way.

  • Can't download mountain lion from app store, shows error message: retry/cancel and starts from begining

    can't download mountain lion from app store, shows error message: retry/cancel and starts from begining,
    I alreasy paid for it
    Can I get a direct download link other than from app store

    Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.
