Keep getting 'unidentified error' when entering apple id and password
Can anyone help.
Just trying to upgrade to Maverick but when it asks for my apple ID and password I get a message saying unidentified error. All details are correct and double checked.
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.

Do NOT click on popups or webpages offering updates to Firefox.
You appear to be posting from something other than Firefox (Internet Explorer ?)
Are you able to post a screenshot, it is probably a scam.
* [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]] <br /> (Please use a .jpeg or .png type compressed image; not some massive high resolution bitmap)
(Note AFAIK Firefox is soon to start a campaign to upgrade outdated versions but even that will be through the ordinary Firefox interface not through popups)
Please see

Trying to repair a botched ITunes update, following dicrections, keep getting "fatal error" when removing Apple Mobile Device Support. Can't get past this step to reinstall. Any advice? Thanks!
Hey there!
I've spent the best part of the day unpicking this huge mess from the upgrade I completed last night - what a nightmare. I followed a tonne of advice - [actaully, this link was really helpful to me]: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm however, I still could not fix the **** thing - and that was following basically a day of uninstalling, installing etc.
In the end - I completed a system restore taking my computer back about five days, and just ignoring the new upgrade with itunes until they can get this fixed.
I hope that this might work for you and anyone else reading this. It nearly drove me to drink [!]. I seemed to get past one error message and have it replaced by another - so the system restore was basically the last resort.
Good luck - ! -
I keep getting an error when trying to update and reinstall Acrobat 7.1.4
I am running Win Vista Home Prem 32 bit. When I updated to Acrobat Pro 7.1.4, during the update, I get the error "Cannot write to C:\....\ActiveX\iehelper.dll. Clicking retry doesn't work. Now my Acrobat doesn't work--it just returns to the installation process, and the same error occurs.
So, I uninstalled Acrobat Pro with the intention of reinstalling it. During the reinstallation of AP 7.0, now I get the same error. I tried to change the attributes of the folder, but I can't do it. I am logged in as Administrator. I tried running setup as administrator, but I get the same error.
Finally, I just tried to delete the folders, hoping that the installer would work right. I can't delete the Acrobat folder/subfolders.
I know this is probably a Windows question, but I thought I would try here first.
Thanks.YAY!!! Saved it in my Mac's Firefox Bookmarks for easy future access!
Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

Hey craiglarkin,
First, I would try following along with the steps in this link:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS, make sure to follow the steps closely, including the order in which you uninstall.

Have a great day,

I have an Intel Desktop iMac and I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when it tries to load the Mac OS X update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website Mac OS X V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it? Any other suggestions. The printer is not working either - I am not sure if they are connected. Everything else is fine.
Please excuse, but I have to ask an obvious question: Did you already update using the Snow Leopard Retail install DVD? (You must do this first; 10.6.7 is just an update if you already have 10.6.) Are you, then, trying to update from whatever version was on the install DVD to 10.6.7?
Otherwise, I'd keep trying. The 10.6.7 Combo is a huge update. -

I keep getting this error when I try to download apps or songs : MZCommerce.CreditBalance Mismatch.Mobile_message Can someone tell me how to get rid of this? It is very aggravating when trying to use the IPAD.
Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference. -
I keep getting an error when signing in, it wants me to start a trial, but i have purchased the product already?
If you purchased a serial number, then click on "License this Product". You will be asked to sign in with your Adobe ID/password and you will be asked for a serial number, or you might click on "I have a serial number". Once you enter the serial number, it should be properly activated as a permanent license.

I keep getting this error when I click on the link inviting me to join a Photo Stream: "An error occurred while joining the Photo Stream. Please try again later."
I was the one who set up the Photo Stream and sent the link to myself. I called Apple and they said I did everything right and the server must be temporarily down, but it has been the same for the better part of a day.None of the fixes above worked for me. Continued getting the "try again" error message.
Tryed a bunch of things, such as going directly to icloud on Safari to open the mail message, no luck.
Tryed the following;
Went to iCloud and logged in via Safari, clicked on my account name in top right corner, selected "Advanced" on drop down menu, and selected "Reset Photo Stream".
Turned off Photo Stream on all devices and iPhoto.
Turned on Shared Photo Stream option on Mac iCloud preferences.
Tried the "Join This Photo Stream" button in my Mac Mail app .me account again.
Still got the error message.
Forwarded the original mail message to a yahoo account, selected "Join this Photo Stream" in the yahoo account mail (still in my Mac Mail app), and lo and behold, iPhoto opened and displayed the photos.
Could be this would have worked right from the start.
Oh yea, still get the "try again" message if I click on the Photo Stream button in my .me account. -
