ITunes tell me that an unknown error occurred when trying to connect to my iPod. What can I do to change this?

When I plug my iPod into he computer, iTunes then says it cannot connect to my iPod, it say an unknown has occurred.

Try turning off the Firewall and disabling anti virus software.

Why do I get a message that an unknown error occurred when trying to download a NYTimes cross-word using AcrossLIte, which happens only on Firefox 4?

With Firefox 3, I had no trouble downloading cross-word puzzles from the NY Times website, using the app. Across Lite. After installing Firefox 4, each attempt to download a puzzle evoked the message that the file could not be opened "because an unknown error occurred" The puzzles can still be downloaded through Safari and Camino, so the problem is probably with Firefox 4.

Unknown error occurred when trying to play film clip in Facebook.

Since the latest update I have problems when I want to watch film clips posted on Facebook.
This only happens with clips that are shown "in" Facebook, if it's a link to a clip outside of Fb it's not a problem.
When trying to watch a clip it says, either directly or various times into the clip, "An unknown error occurred when trying to play a film clip".
if I try over and over again the clip finally plays to its full length but it really annoys me.
Anybody got an idea?

We got some reports of this lately and as you say, it only happens in Facebook.
Try clearing data for the Facebook app under Settings -> Apps and se eif that helps. If not, please see this thread: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/Facebook-Videos-not-playing/m-p/727861

'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the...

Hello,
I have had a BT Vision package for a few months but we recently moved house and wanted to transfer our services. Since moving in, we have got the telephone, internet and TV channels working however we are struggling with the additional TV services (i.e. catch up, recording, on demand).
Everytime we try to play something on catch up or via on demand, or try to play a recorded programme, it attempts to load but then the following error message appears at the bottom of the screen in a red box - 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the video OutputProtectionEnableFailed'
I have phoned BT's technical department on several occasions who have not been able to resolve the issue. I have tried Googling this error message and searching BT's website however I cannot find any comments about this error. BT have offered to send a technician out however will automatically charge £99 if this is an error with the cable rather than the BT box. This is a lot of money and I am not able to risk this potential charge when I'm not sure what the problem might be.
If anyone know's what might be causing this , or has had the same error message themselves, I would be very grateful to know.
Many thanks,
SHyde

Why pages sometimes tells me : "an unknown error occurred" when trying to export a document into .docx or .pdf ?

Hello !
Since I've done the 5.0 update for Pages (and also with 5.1 and 5.2), I sometimes don't manage to export my documents into .docx or .pdf files. I get a message telling: "an unknown error occured", and the file isn't converted. Could someone help me ?

Other than using the version that works, as VikingOS suggests, look for any distinguishing features or objects that may be common amongst the files that won't convert. Particularly Tables which seem to experience the most problems.
We have had a number of reports of this by other users and not been able to finger exactly what is the cause.
Pages 5.2 has quite a few problems with exporting and this is just another.

Unknown error -3256 when trying to connect to itunes store

since I updated to itunes 7.0 I can't connect to the itunes store anymore. I really want to purchase new music and for over 3 weeks I haven't been able to connect anymore. It's so annoying! My internetconnection is always working perfectly. I have tried updates, reinstalled everything, but I can't get it to work. I would be so greatful for help!!!
The exact error message is: I tunes could not connect to itunes store du to an unknown error (-3256)

Dito to everything that has been said so far! In the UK though, we don't even have a phone number to be able to actually speak to someone about this. Apple better get on it and put some kinda statement on the site about it. Hate to admit this, but I've spent nearly the whole of Christmas Day stressing about this!! AAAAARGH!! Let's hope it gets sorted. However, I have read some other topics about it and other people are saying that their ipods stopped working after d/loading the latest software... Was gonna consider uninstalling it but without it you can't actually d/load any vids!! Total catch 22!
Merry Christmas folks! Let's keep our fingers crossed that it gets sorted!

You could try this.
Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Unknown error occurred when trying to buy music from iTunes

Whenever I try to buy a song or album from iTunes it says an unknown error has occurred (-405054) and can't be completed.

I had this problem just recently.
I discovered that the problem was located here: ROOT / Users / Shared -- if you open that and the "adi" folder has a little red minus symbol in its corner, your permissions have somehow been lost. (If you can't see your root directory, open Finder Preferences and, under sidebar, check "Hard disks." That will make your root drive visible.)
If the "adi" folder has the red minus symbol, right-click the folder and select GET INFO.
Sharing & Permissions is probably set to "System: Read & Write | wheel: Read Only | everyone: No Access"
If so, your user account has no permissions, and that means iTunes can't use the folder properly.
To fix this, first unlock the folder using the padlock icon in the bottom-right corner of "get info." You will have to supply your admin password to do this.
Then click the little + sign in the bottom left corner to add a user, and select your user ID from the list of choices. Give yourself Read & Write permissions. (Alternatively, you could change the permissions of "everyone" to Read & Write; others have done that, but I was leery of doing it).
Re-lock the folder when you're done.
Hopefully that will solve it.

An unknown error occurs when trying to use daq express VI's

When I try to open the daq express VI in labVIEW 8.2 (it doesn't matter which one), the program tries to "initialize" like its supposed to, but then it says that NI Assistant host encountered an error and needs to close, then gives a message saying "an unknown error has occurred." Also, Measurement and Automation doesn't work anymore, although it did before. I searched the forums and couldn't find anything like it. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi Kodeeswaran,
What version of LabVIEW are you using? Are you seeing the same issues with Measurement and Automations Explorer?
When you reinstalled everything what order did you install all the software?
The issue might be caused by file permissions. Do you have Administrative rights on the computer? If not can you try replicating the issue while logged on as administrator. If you don't see the error while administrator you will need to change the file permissions for some necessary files:
Log onto the computer as an administrator
Browse to the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MAX directory
Right-click the MAX folder and select Properties
Click the Security tab, and click the Add button
Type in the user name and click OK
Give the user Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permission
Click Apply and then OK
If you have several different users and want all users to use the DAQ Assistant, repeat the above steps but type everyone for the user name. The above steps are written for Windows XP with a NTFS file system. For previous Windows versions, the procedure will be very similar but may not be exactly the same.

Unidentified error occurred when trying to connect to database (was: Dreamweaver issue )

Thanks

If your testing server is XAMPP or MAMP, you should put your site files in the htdocs folder of your local testing server.
C:\xampp\htdocs\YourSiteName
C:\mamp\htdocs\YourSiteName
If you use WAMP server, you should put your site files inside www folder.
C:\wamp\www\YourSiteName\
These are the default directories used by localhost when previewing in browsers.
Then define your local testing server in DW. See screenshots.
Advanced tab: Testing Server model.
If you haven't already, log-in to your local server's phpMyAdmin to create an SQL database and table.

Security package specific error occurred when trying to connect to Orchestrator with remote Runbook Designer

When I try to connect to Orchestrator server with Runbook Designer installed on my laptop I get an error saying "A security package specific error occurred.".
Entry from Designer log file is below. I've tried to set error level to 3 and 7 but got no additional info about the error. I'm unable to find any details of the error on server or client side in any logs (Event Log or Orchestrator trace logs).
Connecting to Orchestrator Management Server with local Designer installed on the server works fine.
Orchestrator is installed in AD environment and security groups are properly configured.
Can anybody help?

I'm having a similar issue with one of our runbook servers. i cannot deploy any IPs to it. I get the error "A security package specific error occurred". I can open the designer on the runbook server, connect to the management server, and look at
runbooks. They wont run on the server without the IPs though, but it doesnt seem like a connection issue. i have also tried uninstalling/re-installing the runbook server and i get the same.
Has anybody else run into this?
Edit:
Heres an error fromthe event log:
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server <Service Account>. The target name used was HOST/server.domain.domain.com. This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client. This can
occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using. Please ensure that the target SPN is registered on, and only registered on, the account used by the server. This error can also
happen when the target service is using a different password for the target service account than what the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) has for the target service account. Please ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both updated to
use the current password. If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (domain.domain.COM) is different from the client domain (domain.domain.COM), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains, or use the fully-qualified
name to identify the server.
So maybe I was just given the wrong account.

ITunes tell me that an unknown error occurred when trying to connect to my iPod. What can I do to change this?
