Safari cannot install profile due to unknown error

hello
I was browsing a couple of sites today, and during browsing, i received a message saying "safari cannot install profile due to unknown error" , i am not to sure which of the sites gave this message, and browsing over them again does not give this message. I am using an iPad 2 16gb wifi. when going to General -> Settings , i dont have a profiles tab, so am not sure what profile it was trying to load. i also have nothing changed in my settings that i can see, should i be worried, that there is some spyware or malware loaded?. can an ipad get any kind of bad things through a profile install?. i have looked online but cannot see an answer.

You can not download items from the internet with an ipad, you can download from the app store or from itunes or some cloud services (dropbox) but not from browsers, there is an Iphone app for we transfer in the app store that appears that it can be used on an ipad as well.
You may want to take a look, its free

Portlet cannot be displayed due to unknown error

In our application we are getting Error, "portlet cannot be displayed due to unknown error" from ALUI portal. There is no enough informaiton apart from this. This error is not consistent, can happen any time.
Can you please advice what could be the cause?
Thanks,

Start the "BEA Ali Logger service" on your portal server machine. Then when the problem occurs you can analyze \bea\alui\ptlogging\logs\portal\portalserver-log.spy to find out more information about what might be causing the problem. You can also set up a wireshark network capture log using the ringbuffer mode which lets you collect logs in a loop. This way if there are network issues you can find out about that too. If you're not comfortable setting these up or analyzing them an oracle support engineer can assist you if you open a case.

I cannot update my iPad and notes it cannot be updated due to unknown error (6). I have not yet updated my Macbook to Yosemite (which I do not intend to do so yet) so would this be the problem and if so, how can I update the iPad?

I cannot download Firefox 4.0 it says cannot be open due to unknown error, so try saving to disk. Why and how do you save to disk when it just says "click here" for upgrade?

i have tried to download the newest version of Firefox and when i click on " click here" it downloads the version 4.0 then when it's finished a window flops down and says,
Download Error, users/sue/downloads/Firefox4.0-4.dmg could not be opened ,because an unknown error occured. Try safing to disk first and then opening the file. ok?"
so how do i save it to disk if i'm clicking on a "click here' word on the web page?

I totally agree, there have been many Mac users that have been effected by this.

HT2250 I cannot install itunes due a bonjour error

i am trying to install itune 106 but the install only gets halfway and crashes with an error message "Cannot remove older version of bonjour"
What do I do?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

ITunes Cannot connect to iPhone due to unknown error (0xE8000065)

Hello!
When I plugin my iphone to a wall, it refuses to charge (it just keeps making a bleeping noise).
And when I try to connect my iPhone to iTunes, I can't. It just says: iTunes Cannot connect to iPhone due to unknown error (0xE8000065)
Any suggestions? I replaced the battery hoping that would do the trick, but nada.
Cheers

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
Did you try a different charger and a different cable? If it won't charge the error will go away soon also when the battery dies.

Installed itunes 11 and now I get the following message 'The itunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error has occured (-50)

Installed itunes 11 and now I get the following message 'The itunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error has occured (-50). How do I fix this problem?

Same problem here since latest update. As usual poor support from Apple with no answer or fix for this bug.

While downloading podcasts to my library, I am getting the message, "the iTunes Library file cannot be saves. An unknown error occured (-54)." Any idea of what is going on?

While downloading podcasts to my library, I am getting the message, "the iTunes Library file cannot be saves. An unknown error occured (-54)." Any idea of what is going on?
Thanks.

The problem went away on its own. Not sure what was the problem but perhaps somehow the system was out sync internally due installing Lion 10.7.3/Snow Leopard 10.6.8/10.7/10.7.3 with iTunes 6 installing after the 10.7.3 and then needing to be installed again after the second 10.7.3 install from the updater model.
I kept accepting the error message and checking iTunes music file. No podcast downloads were actually rejected.

Can't copy music to ipod ("cannot be updated... unknown error (-50)"

Well, the last month has been pretty much a nightmare with my beloved ipod (60gb with video, and I'm using a Powerbook G4).
My immediate problem is this: after transferring about half of my music onto my ipod (which I'm doing from scratch, because of another issue that will come up later in the post), I got an error message saying "The ipod 'Disco Stu II' cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)." I click ok, and am stuck here. I cannot eject my ipod - when I try to, I am told that "it contains files that are in use by another application" - although I'm not running any other programs (except, currently, Firefox). When I click "ok" to that, the first error message recurs. When I close itunes and move the ipod icon from my desktop to the trash, I get a message saying that the disk is in use and could not be ejected. Relaunching Finder doesn't change this. Reopening itunes, nothing changes. It's possible that if I restart the computer, I'll be able to eject the ipod, but this also seems like it might end up doing more damage.
The larger problem: this type of thing has been happening often recently. A few weeks ago, I was copying music from an external hard drive onto my ipod, when itunes suddenly quit. I don't remember all of the details, but I got a message saying the ipod couldn't be read or written to. I said ok, ejected the ipod, and to my horror found that it was now empty. When I plugged it back in, itunes gave me a single option to restore the ipod. I called AppleCare, who walked me through an alternate version of restoring (unfortunately, I don't remember the details here either). I was then able to put music back on my ipod, and for a few weeks it worked okay. But last night I had my ipod plugged into my laptop's usb for charging, and while my back was turned another error message (I think this was another "cannot be updated"), and again I was stuck with a single "restore" option, so once again, I had no music on my ipod. Which is why I'm trying to refill it now, without much luck.
Other possibly relevent stuff: earlier tonight, while my ipod wasn't connected, itunes caused a kernel panic. I thought (hoped) that this meant my copy of itunes was the problem, so I trashed my copy (as well as my itunes preferences... but are there other things that I should also be trashing?) and downloaded and installed a new version. Apparently this wasn't the solution, since the immediate problem happened after I installed the new version.
Any help appreciated. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to cry, or throw things.
Adam

Update: I restarted the computer and, surprisingly, itunes could read my ipod and was able to transfer music to it. I still received one or two of the "unknown error" messages while transferring the rest of my music (carefully, less than 100 songs at a time). However, I'm still unable to eject my ipod either through itunes or finder. I was only able to do it by restarting again. Knock on wood, the situation seems tolerable now, but I expect to be living in fear that my ipod will stop working for the next few weeks. Any wisdom would be appreciated. thanks!

The iPad cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1140).

Since updating my iPad to iOS 6 and updating iPhoto to 9.4, I have been receiving the error The iPad <name of my iPad> cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1140).
The syncing seems to be centered around photos. I used to have the box checked next to "Sync Photos from iPhoto" and now the only way that I can get the iPad to finish sync without error is to uncheck that box.
Any ideas how to fix this problem or what that code is?
A couple things that I should mention:
1) Photo Stream is Off on my iPad.
2) If you click on the Photo app it shows that there are no photos on the iPad. Screen says No Photos or Videos - You can take photos and videos using the camera, or sync photos and videos onto your iPad usining iTunes.
3) If I go to Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera it shows that I have 4.2 GB of data used by photos and camera. Clicking on it, it shows that 3.7 GB is Photo Stream and 551 MB is Photo Library.
4) If I got to the same usage screen on my iPhone 4 running iOS 6, Photo Stream is listed as 1.5 GB.
I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the space on the iPad, but I assume this error as something to do with iTunes thinking there is a library on the iPad that isn't there. That's just me assuming though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same issue. After updating all iOS devices to iOS 6, then updating all software on my iMac to the latest versions (including iPhoto 9.4), everthing was working as it should. I was able to sync all of my devices (New iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone4) with the iMac early this morning.
Subsequently, I opened iPhoto for the first time since installing 9.4, a window popped up informing me that my photo library had to be converted to work with the iPhoto 9.4. I clicked okay, and let the conversion process run its course.
About ten minutes later, I attempted to once again sync my iPad with the iMac. The sync process would run for a few seconds, then stop with a window popping up saying "The iPad cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1140)". I then attempted to sync the iPod and my iPhone, with the same results.
After consulting the discussion forums, it looked like lots of other users are encountering the same problem, and that it was somehow related to the new iPhoto. Someone suggested turning off syncing photos from iPhoto, which I did. With photo syncing turned off, the rest of the sync program now runs without a problem.
I've submitted a bug report to Apple. Hopefully, enough other users have done the same, and Apple will fix whatever it is that's causing the problem.
