LR 2.1 - Importing catalog sees 'Unknown Error' and fails.
Anybody else seen this dialog box?
'Could not import catalog due to unknown error'
This is happening in LR 2.1. First catalog import attempt. I've had no issues previously.
Upon importing, LR will go through the whole process as though importing, and then at the end of the progress bar, I get the above dialog box. And nothing's there. The import failed.
Anyone else seen this? Suggestions?

Hey Geoff,
Great to hear from you, as always. :)
Well, there were more un-cataloged images that may have been contributing to the situation. I had created web-rez images for my client within subfolders of the main client folder. Once I synchronized, the images were added. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error message at the end of my import. Now, the weird thing is, if I import the LR catalog only, it disappears after the error message. But, if I tell the import to include the 'Digital Negatives', which includes all the session files (RAW,PSD, jpegs), after the import and then the error box, everything seems to be there and actually looks fine. At least as far as I can tell. I can see the all the files, the ratings, the keywords, etc. A little un-nerving though to say the least. I'm afraid to dump my original catalog and folders.
FYI, what's going on is that I work on my current client sessions (including all related files) off of my MacBook Pro as my 'Current' catalog. I then have my main LR Catalog (all other images) on a back-up RAID drive. So I'm trying to export from the MBP, over to the back-up RAID LR Catalog.
Again, the 'Export' seems to go fine. Not sure what's going on here.
Thanks for your help and input.

hey all just trying to set up my ipad synced up with itunes but now if i try to download any apps i put my password in then comes up with unknown error and wont download any help would be great
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. -
I cannot sign in to the App Store.
I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
Please help me.
RheaYou 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.

I already did the hard reboot many times, re-send service book though i do'nt think it's needed, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the facebook application too but still getting the same error everytime i try to post a status update. I can comment to messages on my wall and other profiles, the news feed is updating in time too, i can also log-in and out to facebook with no problem, as well as other applications on my phone like foursquare, BBm, ubersocial, BB protect, BB app world, etc, are all working perfectly fine. And now I don't know what seems to be the problem.
I've already contacted my network provider and told me that the error i'm getting is beyond their scope.
Is anybody having the same problem as mine?
Can someone in BB support team help me regarding this issue and tell me what should I do?

I am running OSX 10.6.8 and when I try to install the latest security update there is an unknown error and the update cannot be implemented. I still have to restart my computer each time I try. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

AME - Unknown Error encoding failed/freeze/hangs h.264
Hi Guys,
I am using Premiere Pro CS (6.0.3) update. I have been working on Premiere , After Effects and AME for at least 1 year. I bought Adobe Production Premium Box. Usually I use footage from Canon 5d and GOPRO 2 and 3. Lately, longer video have been crashing after 10 min when rendering to H.264 - mov or just h.246 in 1080p 25fps (both using AME and Direct Export in Premiere). I never had this problem before with longer videos (10 min long and more). I tried different source paths, no effects, frame blending, turn of Mercury Playback engine.
Messages:Unknown Error Encoding failed - if using AME (sheep sound)
Or: Freeze - the program does not repond and I have to close it
Using direct premiere export - freezes or just stands still during rended/hangs.
MXF, loosles AVI seems fine.
I tried different projects and all formats. I checked CPU temp and it is max 60C.
I lost all hope. Is it hardware?
Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
MB Asus m4a785t evo
AMD Phenom II x4 955BE
Nvidia GTX 580 DCII (Cuda)
SSD - system (256GB)
2 x hdd 7200 (2x500GB)
Ps. i used cache clean, mercury playback on/off, different GPU - still crashes on H.264 (Youtube 1080, Vimeo 1080, Android Table 1080 25fps)
Any tips?
ArtiThat dreaded sheep!
While I would still want more RAM for AE to operate off, I dont think that is the problem. The only other thing I persoanlly can suggest is that that is an installation error on AME.
Uninstall all programs that use AME - Premiere, After Effects, Flash etc, restart yourt machine then reinstall.
Then try again. -
I found out what's wrong only because I still have an old (2010) Macbook Pro and it's Airport software gets the same error, but it tells me what the problem is and let's me fix it. The problem was I changed my AppleID password and it's apparently stored in the Airport Extreme. The windows version just says Unknown Error and offers Software Update, but there is no update. The problem is Airport Utility keeps opening and repeating this error on all Windows machines. If I didn't have the old mac there would be no way out. Please update Airport for Windows.
PS: I don't have a new Mac because:
1. Price is more than $1,000 higher than comparable PC.
2. No 17" laptop offered.
3. Can get a really good graphics card.
4. Limited availability of the really high performance Intel chips.
5. Price is too high (oh, yes, I said that already).You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

I'm working in Premiere Pro CC 2014 on an early 2014 iMac. I started to notice my session was getting kind of buggy - audio clips started missing from my timeline, effect controls on some of my video clips had set themselves to the defaults. So I was trying to fix some of these things as I was editing. I save compulsively (like after every couple of edits), so I had not noticed that my session was no longer auto-saving.
Suddenly Premiere crashed. The recovery file will not open "due to an unknown error." The original file that crashed will not open either (same message), and I notice the file size is about half of what it should be. When I tried to open an auto-saved version, I discovered that the last auto-save was last night at about 10 p.m. (I quit working last night at about 1 a.m., so it just spontaneously stopped autosaving midway through my edit session.)
I followed all the suggestions I could find in forums. I trashed preferences, and I moved all my media into other folders. But the session won't open even far enough that it starts asking for media. When I create a new project and try to import my old edit sequence, dynamic link won't even get to the point where it asks me to select what sequences I want to import. It just sits there forever trying to open the file and can't.
Any suggestions?Additional info - As I look further into the problem, it's even worse than I thought. The autosave files that say they're from last night are actually referencing work from days ago. So evidently, my auto-save is either putting incorrect time stamps on the files, or the project files are referencing old sequences. Either way, I cannot seem to locate a project file that contains a reasonably recent version of my cut, even though the time/date stamps on the files indicate they shouldn't be that old.

On 2 occasions my iphone has come up with the message that it needs to be restored to factory settings, but on trying to do this, itunes displays the message that it is unable to restore phone due to unknown error. Any tips?
Unless you have a jailbroken phone that has altered the baseband, that usually a hardware failure, in which case you'll have to take it to the Apple store for evaluation.

Because I only have satellite internet available to me, I have to download YouTube files in my download window. Several times now, one or two of maybe five or six files, all being downloaded simultaneously *to the same directory*, will abort with an error message "<filename> could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location". However, you don't get a chance to save it to a different location, the whole damned file has to be downloaded again from scratch. This is actually with IceWeasel 17.0.10, a thinly-disgusided version of Firefox 17 LTS, running on 64-bit Debian 7.1 multihome.
I realise this may be a plugin problem rather than a Firefox problem, I'm not sure of the exact relationship between the two, but I'm using TubeEnhancer 2.6 to do the downloads.
Whatever the 'unknown error' might be (and it's not a permissions problem, other videos being downloaded at the same time will save correctly to the same directory!) it seems beyond belief that it's not possible to give the user a chance to save the file somewhere else, as the error message suggests. It's so frustrsting to have to go through the whole download process again. Surely Firefox is storing a copy of the file on the hard drive as it downloads, is there really no way that this can at least be recovered when the error occurs, even if it's not possible for some reason to give the user a second chance to pick a directory and filename?OK, so I tried disabling the other addons and (I'm sure this is coincidental!) the problem actually got WORSE, not better, i.e. more aborted downloads.
This is a long-standing problem with both Firefox and Thunderbird, both programs will happily tell you *during* the download process that they've downloaded X MB of Y MB, but if the download aborts, then there's no indication that it's done so on the dowload page. All that is needed is to retain that expected download size figure when the download has terminated, so that you can easily see whether unattended downloads completed or not.
Yes, I suppose those of us who have to use satellite internet services are in the minority, but the only hours when I can download anything are between 0200 and 0700 my time, and I do like to get SOME sleep at nights! -
Error compiling movie - unknown error - encoding failed
I am running a 2.40 GHz Quad Core with 8GB RAM
I have a deadline on a video project in Premiere Pro CS4 with 4 video timelines and 8 audio timelines with many transitions and key frames with hours on two sequences of work completed and ready to export to an AVI file and burn a DVD. The 30 minute sequence with only 3 timelines converted to AVI file okay. The larger sequence with more timelines, keyframes, etc. will not export through Adobe Media Encoder for a Microsoft AVI file or an Uncompressed AVI file - getting the above error message each time. Getting same errors when exporting a dynamic link to Encore to burn a DVD.
The sequence acted funny when I loaded the fourth video timeline so I deleted it and waiting untill the completion of the sequence to add any of that fourth timeline to that sequence and I did not even try to load the fourth timeline that I wanted to add...
Here are the error messages I am getting:

I have been going back & forth with Adobe Support with troubleshooting advice. I am running a 2.40 GHz Quad Core, 8GB RAM - had to upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit for computer to recognize more than 2GB RAM, had to purchase Premiere Production Premium CS4 because Adobe no longer supported Premiere Pro 2.0 & Adobe does not support Windows XP-64 bit (so Windows Vista was pushed down my throat...) I have followed the Adobe instructions to Optimize Windows Vista for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, I have uninstalled and re-installed the full program more than once. I have defragmented my computer, I have performed the disk cleanup and deleted all temporary files, etc. to make sure my computer is running optimally.
I have read the other Adobe threads that talk about CS3 & earlier similar error messages, but have found nothing with this particular message. I have deleted the fourth timeline off of the video and tried to see if that would make it work, but it did not.
Does ANYBODY have any suggestions on how I can further trouble shoot to get this project out or know of a way that I can export this project to another program to get an AVI file and a DVD burned with custom menus...I am using a 1TB Hard drive with 300 GB free space. Yes, I always have to delete projects off to make room for new projects. I have 3 750GB hard drives in my computer in addition to the main C drive that I am using. Once a project is completed and a client is satisfied, I move the final AVI file off to one of the auxillary drives and delete the entire project from the C drive. Then I defragment, delete temp files, disk cleanup, you name it to get the drive ready to use for the next project. I have followed the Adobe protocol for all of this as well as my computer vendor. I got rid of 95 GB of temp stuff several days ago with the disk cleanup and another 45 GB after deleting another project off my computer... so looks like I am doing these things..please advise if you know of anything else.
In the meantime, I am going to try to export to the MPEG2 -DVD export to see if this will work. I did get an uncompressed file of 31 GB created which errored out at 24:24 minutes into the project and the AVI will not play so it is worthless so I am going to delete it. I went to the timeline at 24.24 minutes and there is nothing unusual about that portion of the clip. This is the largest and most tedious timelines of the project because it is stacked 3 video timelines high with just a a few pieces of the 4th timeline in the project. 24:24 on the timeline is just another keyframe of moving the keyframes up and down to show which video camera version I want visible in that portion of the video - fading in and out of the project with the key frames...
I will let you know if I can get an MPEG2 file. Will this be a good enough quality to put on a DVD. This is a standard NTSC 4:3 format video... -
I have been trying to buy 850,000 credits for $49.99 (on sale for now) for one of my Ipad games (Pharoah slots). I can get so far with my log-in information and then the screen indicates there is a problem and that I need to contact Itunes/ww. Then another prompt indicates "Unknown error". Any ideas as to what is causing this?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

VZ Messages - unknown error and low res pictures
I just installed VZ Messages on my iPhone 5 with IOS8. The app shows an "unknown error" message that doesn't seem to have any effect but it's hard to tell. What is this?
Also, all of the pictures I receive are low quality. In the native IOS message app, the pictures look great. It doesn't matter who sends it to me, iPhone or Android. Is there a setting that should be changed?
Thanks.mjross33, I know that this would concern me just the same. Given the issues are related to the picture quality it may be best ot go into a local store to get a hands on approach to see what may be going on. http://bit.ly/3SdsA
