"unexpected error" when connecting to Express after reset

Hi, I had a Time Capsule connected wirelessly to two Airport Expresses - one to extend the network and the other to stream music. Recently I had to replace my old iMac and at the same time I upgraded the Time Capsule to the new 3Tb model. The iMac is the 27" late 2013 i7 running the latest release of Mavericks. the iMac is connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet cable.
I'm trying to reinstate the configuration I was using but am having trouble connecting to the Express.
I do a factory reset of the Express. Amber light flashes slowly.
I turn wifi on on the iMac, click the icon and select the airport express from the drop down menu. Airport Utility starts gathering information, then says it's joining, then examining base stations on my network and then "An unexpected error occurred. Try again". Trying again doesn't help.
Curiously I get a message from Norton Vulnerability protection that it has blocked an ARP Cache poison attack. Turning off Norton Vulnerability doesn't help.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Todd

The "unexpected error occurred" is decidedly unhelpful. All that AirPort Utility knows is that something is preventing communication with the Express, for reasons that it cannot determine.
What model number Express do you have? Examine its case for a four digit model number preceded by the letter A. The model number is in the red box shown below:
Turning on Norton Vulnerability can't help either. Uninstall that worthless garbage completely, so that your Mac can work as designed. ARP Cache poison attack, my posterior.

Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1

My current wireless setup is and has been the following: Phone Jack --> DSL modem ---> Airport Express via Ethernet cable
Off of that connection we've been able to wirelessly run our MacBook, Apple TV and iPhones for several years.
We recently left for vacation, so I unplugged everything (apparently a huge mistake). When we returned from vacation, the wireless connection was intermittent and kept being dropped.
If I connect the Ethernet cable directly from the modem into my MacBook the internet works fine.
I tried refreshing the Airport Express by unplugging it and cycling it through. It continued to drop.
By opening the Airport Utility, a firmware update was recommended. However, since that update the Airport Express isn't detected anymore.
I tried a hard reset and Utility finds the Airport Express under "Other Wifi Devices" but then, at the end of trying to "Join the Airport Express to the Network" I get an "Unexpected Error" message.
Airport Express Model Number: A1264
Airport Utility: 6.3.1
OS: 10.8.5
I am very frustrated and way out of my league here with understanding how this all works and what I can do to fix it. If anyone has any suggestions or expertise to offer, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time,
Amanda

Hi AMM222,
"Unexpected Error" message with Mountain Lion and AirPort Utility 6.3.x. Hopefully this is just a matter of enabling IPv6.
AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
Click OK.
Click Apply.
The AirPort device should now appear in AirPort Utility.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Server Error: Unexpected Error when running Napa SharePoint 2013 App

I am getting an error "Server Error : Unexpected error" when I try to run a SharePoint 2013 app in Napa Development environment.
It starts the process normally but after it shows "Uninstalling previous version" it throws the error. This has been happening since yesterday.Someone help

"no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" error when connecting a TNS database co

Hi
"no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" error when connecting a TNS database connection
I have the same problem 'error code' when testing the connection to a database although I have an APEX db that connects without a problem.
I have re downloaded jre & SQL Developer just to ensure all files are where they should be with no luck.
I've also tried most of the suggestions in various threads.
Does anyone know what exactly causes this error?
eg; should I be looking for a file called 'ocijdbc11' & put it into the 'java.library.path' path?
Can anyone explain to a newbie at db connections what I should do?
I'm using the 'thin' client as the checkbox is clear & I don't know what path to enter into the correct file to make this work??
This is & needs to connect as a TNS connection & was working fine until recently, the only change I can think of is a move of files from the 'C' drive but I thought redownloading SQL Developer would slove this.
Thanks

When you reinstalled SQL Developer, did you install into a new directory (ie rename or delete the old directory first)?
I don't know if system setup contains directory references (which might be invalid after moving the location of SQL Developer). Does renaming your system2.1.1.64.45 directory (in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\SQL Developer) help? Note that your connections are in the connections.xml file in the o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.2.36.55.30 subdirectory of system2.1.1.64.45 - you will either need to export connections before renaming and then import again after or copy this file to test if you can connect.
Finally, the TNS Names directory preference is just a way of telling SQL Developer where to look for the tnsnames.ora file, rather than just assuming it will pick the right one. If you go to create a new connection, do you get the right list of TNS aliases? If not, then set this preference to the directory where the right tnsnames.ora file lives.

FireFox keep saying "unexpected error" when trying to print web pages.

FireFox keep saying "unexpected error" when trying to print web pages. The print preview works OK, but when you try to print that "unexpected error" jumps up.
Please email me on what to do to get FireFox to work.
I don't see anything in the FAQ that might help me.

Hi,
Please also try this setting: Windows start menu or Control Panel > '''Devices and Printers''', right-click the printer > '''Printer properties''' > '''Advanced''', and select '''Start printing after the last page is spooled'''. In this case you can also close Firefox after spooling is over (usually much faster than direct printing), and printing will continue.
Also as a general case, if you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

I keep getting this error when connecting my phone (0xE8000001)

I keep getting this error when connecting my phone (0xE8000001) to iTunes. Sometimes the phone will try and sync for a little bit then it disconnects. What gives?
And yes, I do have the latest version of iTunes (7.3)

i kept getting all the same errors and i just figured it out. after getting an iphone i went from pure excitment to anger as i plugged it in and realized i needed to upgrade to tiger. then i spent over an hour installing tiger and it still didnt work. i got the same itunes error of not recognizing. HERE IS THE FIX....TURN OFF THE IPHONE AND REMOVE FROM THE DOCK. DONT JUST PUT IT TO SLEEP, HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON UNTIL IT ASKS YOU TO SLIDE TO TURN OFF. THEN CLOSE ITUNES. NEXT TURN THE PHONE BACK ON BY RE-DOCKING. START UP ITUNES IF IT DOESNT START IMMEDIATELY. YOU SHOULD START HAVING FUN NOW, ALBEIT SLOW ON THE 1.1 USB.

Unexpected Error When Creating Network

Running 10.9.1 and getting "Unexpected Error" When Creating a new network. Need help getting started.
Thanks for the support!

You need to use the alternatives under options..
It will never pick this option itself.. so click Other Options.
and use replace an existing device.
Or simply remove the existing setup and start over..
Reset to factory every time you start a setup.. and create a new network.. then reset the older units once this is working and use them to extend the network.
Personally I prefer to replace and start afresh as it just leads to less issues.
As far as range is concerned the new AC models are variously reported as excellent to worse than existing old models.. wireless is simply another form of voodoo only in white plastic instead of black.. which sort of suits the black arts better.

Unexpected error when re-enabling an AD account

Hi,
I am receiving an "unexpected-error" when exporting a previously disabled account to AD as a re-enabled account.
Here's the scenario:
User is returned to the delta view, which should move them back to the Active Accounts OU (from the Inactive Accounts OU).
The export does move the user to the Acitve Accounts OU, however, the user is disabled, and the export reports "unexpected-error".
A subsequent sync will change the user to enabled without any errors.
The event viewer reports this error, that baffles me a bit:
"BAIL: MMS(1848): tower.cpp(3855): 0x80004005 (Unspecified error)
BAIL: MMS(1848): csobj.cpp(2112): 0x80004005 (Unspecified error)
BAIL: MMS(1848): expcall.cpp(864): 0x80004005 (Unspecified error)

Forefront Identity Manager 4.0.3576.2"
All my searches say a hotfix addressed this in ILM, but I'm unsure if that would be an appropriate approach for FIM.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you for any help.
Sami

Thanks Ed,
Phew, sorry to hear your case was not solved …
On the other hand, this is yet another indication and confirmation of where the issue seems to be. I was told pretty much the same by Microsoft Support. I can actually confirm, based on my tests,
that the change must have occurred between FIM and FIM R2. Code extensions originally written for MIIS worked just fine in FIM but break in FIM R2.
How come Microsoft did not anticipate that their change will break existing logic? I would have expected some kind of advanced notification/warning in the FIM R2 documents …
My problem is that we need to move on.
In absence of any solution from Microsoft after so many months, I’m reviewing our business logic to code around this new restriction; essentially I’m trying to remove the blocks of code
that would lead to such a scenario.
I’ll post an update if I hear of any resolution from Microsoft.

Unexpected error when trying to sign in to sync

Version 32.0.3 installed. I've been getting a message that Firefox unable to sync for the last **days So when i tried to log out of sync and log back in. I get an error "unexpected error" when i try to log in. So i tried to create a new account and get the same issue from the log in page. Have looked at everything listed on troubleshooting sync page Still the same issue.

HI mfackler,
That usually means something has gone wrong. If you have already tried to sign out and back in in accounts.firefox.com please provide the following troubleshooting information for further investigation:
* How do I turn on sync logs:
# Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
# Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
# Logs and error messages will be located here
Please also use pastebin.mozilla.org for sharring any errors that relate to this issue.
Thank you.

Error when connecting to terminal

Hello,
I have a BB 8100, Desktop manager 4.6.
Synchronization was working correctly 3-4 weeks ago.
Today, when I tried to synchronize, I had this error message:
0 x 80040fb3
I tried to debug this with the procedure of modifying Last name, first name, etc.... with no success
I tried several time to synchronize again but without success.
Now, the situation is even worse!
New message when I connect my BB to my computer. When I launch Desktop manager, I have the following error:
"Error when connecting to terminal. Make sure that your terminal is correctly connected, then try again"
I can not anymore try to synchronize!
This is very strange, it never happened before.
Nevertheless, Desktop Manager recognize my BB, as I can read on the buttom left part of the screen: Terminal connected (code Pin) recognized xxxxxx.
HELLLLP!
Thanks

Hello RianaZaire,
Unfortunately, I still have the same error Message.
I have not been able to solve the situation.
I reinstall twice the software.
I tried to connect my Blackberry to my computer with a new cable.
I still have the same error message.
I don't know what to do.
Maybe somebody will read our messages, and help us!
Maybe this information has a link with my blackberry problem:
I also have a problem with an another device. (a TOMTOM GPS system), which happened almost at the same time.
Usually, when I connect this device, it will directly open the GPS sofware ( where I can download the new updating stuff). But since this Blackberry problem, I can not do it anymore. Impossible to connect the TOMTOM onto it. It is not recognize onto my computer.
For information, I also do synchronization of my adress book between my phone and TOMTOM.

Error when connecting to MDM from different lan

Hi,
I got "Image Server Login Error" when connecting with client to server from different LAN, server is up, and i can connect to it when i in the same LAN. Ports 20003, 20004, 20005 for MDM server discovering and repository port 2345 is accessible through router. Running SP2 5.5.24.06.
Rem: it's not a port problem, when port 2345 is closed i got "WinSock error on connect"
PS: When I used MDM SP1 i connected to him properly in the same case.

Hi Dmitry,
If your repository is set to port 2345, then 4 subsequent ports should be openned also, i.e. 2346-2349.

Error When connecting proxy

Hi,
When I try to connect proxy in application, it is not connecting instead when I check whether it is going through proxy or not it is telling that it is establishing direct connection only. Here I have posted part of the coding. Please If any error give me a hint.
            System.setProperty("ProxySet", "true");
            SocketAddress addr = new InetSocketAddress("webcache.mydomain.com",80);
            proxy=new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP,addr);here in this code part I am checking whether is connecting with proxy or not.
URL u = new URL(url);
URLConnection uu=u.openConnection(ScrapperInterface.proxy);
try
                URI uuu = uu.getURL().toURI();
                List l=ProxySelector.getDefault().select(uuu);
                for (Iterator iter = l.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); )
                     Proxy proxy = (Proxy) iter.next();
                     System.out.println("proxy hostname : " +proxy.type());
                     InetSocketAddress add = (InetSocketAddress)proxy.address();
                     if(add == null)
                         System.out.println("No Proxy");
                     else
                         System.out.println("proxy hostname : " +add.getHostName());
                         System.out.println("proxy port : " +add.getPort());
catch (URISyntaxException ex)
                Logger.getLogger(StartThread.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}Output is:
proxy hostname : DIRECT
No Proxy

Re: Error When connecting proxy You didn't get any error when you created the connection. Your title is misleading. Probably you are misleading yourself - see below.
System.setProperty("ProxySet", "true");That does nothing. There is no such property, contrary to widespread belief.
SocketAddress addr = new InetSocketAddress("webcache.mydomain.com",80);
proxy=new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP,addr);... and using java.net.Proxy has nothing to do with system properties in any case.
URLConnection uu=u.openConnection(ScrapperInterface.proxy);Here you are opening a URLConnection via the proxy. As you got output from the code further down it is clear that this step must have succeeded. So all the code below is pointless.
URI uuu = uu.getURL().toURI();Here you are getting the URI you created the connection for.
List l=ProxySelector.getDefault().select(uuu);Here you are getting the Proxies the default ProxySelector would have given you for that URI. Nothing to do with the URLConnection you created, and nothing to do with the Proxy you created either.
InetSocketAddress add = (InetSocketAddress)proxy.address();So here you are testing the proxy address for the system's default proxy for that URI. Again, nothing to do with what you did above.
What you should be doing here is using the URLConnection you have already created. Not testing an address.
