Unknown Error (-53) after last "Patch Tuesday"

I'm unable to sync my iPod Touch since the day after last "Patch Tuesday". I get an alert referencing an "unknown error (-53)" every time I try to sync. I've tried the usual windows steps; uninstall and reinstall, reboot multiple times, disable all anti-virus, anti-spam, firewall, curse, pray, etc. I've done a search here and Googled but haven't seen any discussions.
Is anybody else having this problem or is it just another windows anomaly requiring a format and clean install?

Have someone with a PC running Windows XP download the shuffle Reset Utility and apply it to your shuffle.

I used to update my iPhone 4S applications whenever a new update is available, but at this time, "unknown error" displays after entering my apple id password. Anyone who could help, whom they might have experienced? Thanks

Hi Christianjr,
When you say you reset your network settings, what do you mean, exactly?
I saw another post on this issue, and the poster indicated that they resolved the problem by turning off their cellular date option and wifi options in Settings, and then turned them back on.
Also, resetting your phone may help - press the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold both down until the Silver Apple appears. Once it is back up, click on the update option and see if it fixes the problem.
If none of those things work, then need to have details on what you did to reset your network settings....

After March Patch Tuesday: Unresolvable Windows 7 Validation errors

I have had a stable Windows 7 Enterprise installation with the initial MAK Product key for a couple years. After the Microsoft Patch Tuesday monthly set for March was applied, the system started complaining with a popup window "You may be a victim of
software counterfeiting". It had a hyperlink entitled "Go online and resolve now" which resolved to
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/?OSV=6.1.7601.2.00010100.1.0.004.09.1033&LS=3&LegitCheckError=00000052&GenuineInfo=00000000&Channel=0&ErrCode=00000000
This presented a new Internet Explorer window "Validation Status: Action Required" with a hyperlink, 'Validate Now" which resolved to
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/GenerateHTA.aspx?displaylang=en&Error=52&OSV=6.1.7601.2.00010100.1.0.004.09.1033&GenuineInfo=00000000&ls=3&page=avsValidate
It resulted in a popup window asking what I wanted to do with legitcheck.hta
Embedded in its code, it loads some javascript at http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/static/js/CommonFunctions.js"
I saved legitcheck.hta and then ran it, it loaded an Internet Explorer “DownloadValidationSupport” web page which offered two steps, Download then Continue.
The Download link was for WindowsActivationUpdate.exe
I did download WindowsActivationUpdate.exe and run it, but every single time (there were many), after running it, every time if I selected Continue, I always received the messsage:
Please wait for the install to complete and then click Continue or view the Troubleshooting tips
At any time (before, during, after) the above processes, if I went to Control Panel - System, at Windows Activation Windows Activation it always stated:
Status: Not Available
Product ID: Not Available
Next I ran the Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics Tool. At the Windows tab it reported:

If I run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F012' I get the uniformative message popup "An error has occurred .. You can also contact Microsoft (a generic message) ... Details Code: 0xC004F012 Description: The Software Licensing Service reported that the call has
failed because the value for the input key was not found.
For "fun" I ran
cscript slmgr.vbs –rilc
but the licensing rebuild made no difference in the Windows 7 validation error
I would like to get the system to actually run a validation check and if necessary require the MAK key. What is the process to eliminate this bogus "software counterfeiting" state?

Thank you for your time considering this. The problem seems resolved.
I noticed that the path was missing for some Start menu items, the icons were not correct. The system environment variables TMP, TEMP, and windir had been deleted. The Windows Activation errors probably started shrotly after the system environment variable
were deleted.
After I restored the environment variables to their standard values, I ran WindowsActivationUpdate.exe, it went through the downloading update package, then installing update steps successfully.
With the standard environment parameters reestablished the MGADiag Copy function worked. I noticed then that it included a lot more information than what is displayed in the one popup window, similar in length to some of the other postings here with output
from MGADiag
In the course of troubleshooting the Activation error before posting here, I had issued the slmgr /rearm command to see if its action in resetting the activation timers would allow me to re-enter the MAK.
When WindowsActivationUpdate completed, then when I went to the Control Panel item for System. I was able to go through the validation process. Now the install is validated again.
Since the March Patch Tuesday set consisted of 12 updates I can't point the finger at any one for being the root of this problem.

Unknown error -50 after computer wakes from sleep.

I've been having a problem for a couple of weeks now. After waking the computer from an extended sleep. I start having strange errors. For example.
*The desktop will not let me move items to the trash. It still makes the trash sound but the folder stays on the desktop. When I try to create a new folder on the desktop, I get "Unknown error occurred (-50)".
*iTunes is unable to save my library, and I get another "unknown error -50". My Mail program will not get mail off the server. I know there is mail because it's on my iPhone. I get no error message with mail. Address book has an error message that my address book file is corrupt, and cannot save. Safari will not shut down even with Force quit.
I have tried to repair my preferences and the disk utility finishes instantly after i start the repair, saying that it's done.
I try to shut down my computer and it hangs because of Safari. I do a hard boot and the computer gets to the apple screen and hangs. I do another hard boot, and the computer restarts, and everything works again.
Is something happening when the computer sleeps that is messing everything up?
I thought I might have a hardware problem so I ran the Hardware check, and it says everything is fine. Anyone else having this problem? I have already tried a clean install, and 2 archive and installs, the first with my preferences and the second without. But I still have the problem... what do I do?

Well, I've just gotten off the phone with Apple. After being transferred to a senior technical adviser, his assumption is that it is probably the logic board. We did run the apple hardware test, which it passed. But ironically, I had no mouse function the whole time because it was frozen up in the corner (thank goodness for the enter key).
After lots of silence on the line, he determined that since the computer wasn't even 30 days out of warranty, that he would classify it as Dead on Arrival (since it has had problems straight out of the box, has had repairs and is still having issues), and arranged for sales to contact me (on Monday of course) to replace it. I'm sure it will be another refurb, and I pray that this one treats me well. I'm really tired of loading & reloading all of my data. I have an external drive due to arrive Tuesday that I can create a back-up on of this machine, and transfer it all via Time Machine when the new one is in my hands. So let's hope this is last you hear from me! Thanks!

Again after last patch: Windows 64 - PDF preview handler not working

Adobe's PDF preview handler doesn't work unter Windows XP/Vista/7 64 bit. Because of that PDF preview e.g. in Windows explorer or MS Outlook isn't displaying PDF preview.
This issue has been discussed in this forum some months ago, and this page gives a solution that has helped:
http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html#fixer
Instead of fixing this well-known issue with the last patch Adobe decided again not to fix. And after installing the patch you have to repair PDF preview handler again...

Hi Sree,
According to your description, your case related to Adobe PDF Preview Handler. This is third-party product. I am afraid this is out of our support. Please ask in their special forum
https://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums
By the way, after do some search, it seems not working for 64bit machine,
>> It is working fine in Windows 7 and Vista
Also work fine in win7/vista 64bit????
If your scenario is not working in 64bit machine, try to put "adobe pdf preview handler 64-bit fix" in search engine. Good luck.
Have a nice day!

Unknown Error 13019 After Latest Upgrade

After performing the latest upgrade to my 3GS yesterday, whenever I synch it, it appears to finish but then gives the message at the end "... iPhone cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (13019)." Everything seems to work afterwards. Any ideas/suggestions?
TIA!

After Restoring my iPhone, I was able to Re-Sync it with my Mac. It took about 20-30 minutes, but it worked. No more "unknown error 13019."
I tried unsyncing and syncing and all that and it did not make the error message go away.
Fortunately, I did not loose any info before or after this happened.

? - unknown error (9) after updating and restoring

Please, HELP!
After downloading iPhone update 1.1.1 for iTunes and installing it iTunes is telling me that I'm required to click 'restore' and then it gives me the message:
The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
I've tryed almost everything but it doesn't work. Please, help me!!!

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

Windows 7 unable to connect to mobile hotspot after last patch

Hi,
I recently re-installed the Windows 7 on my laptop. I applied a lot of patches.
I have two phones: one blackberry curve and an android Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Since yesterday I was able to start the tethering on the smartphone and activate the mobile hotspot. Windows 7 was able to connect to the mobile hotspot without any problem.
Yesterday evening I applied the last patches and this morning I restarted the PC to applied them.
Now Windows is not more able to connect to any mobile hotspot. However, is still able to connect to a standard Cisco WiFi network.
Does anybody have any idea why?
Thanks

Since issue only occurred after you installed the last patches, in addition to the wifi driver, I also suggest you uninstall the latest patches for a test, seems something conflits with them, what is the result?
Regards

I keep getting "unknown error -42110" after deleting SC folder

My son, daughter and I share a computer running Windows 7. We each have our own iTunes libraries and logins. My son's iTunes library crashed last week and completely needed rebuilding, This was a major pain. He still can't access about 10 purchased songs, due to some 90 download issue. He kept getting the "unknown error -42110" everytime he would open iTunes. I went the this forum and they suggested that deleting the SC folder would fix it. It did, but now the other two accounts are getting the -42110 error every time that iTunes is opened by the other user. This is with iTunes 11.02.26.
It appears that only one SC folder exists in Windows 7 in this location
C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
Can anyone suggest a different fix?
I believe that continuing to delete this folder will just cause the error to move to another user.
The error itself seems pretty rampant on these boards, but I haven't seen anyone discuss the exact problem that I am having.
Thanks

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Captivate 8 Unknown Error returned after post of quiz results

I am posting quiz results to an Internal Server using the InternalServerReporting.php script. The entry gets written to the server but a result of "Unknown Error" is returned to the student. I have the captivate HTML file at the root (C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/). I have tried suppressing the Popup window for Student Name and Student ID by entering values in the cpQuizInfoStudentID and cpQuizInfoStudentName variables but I still get a return popup window with the "Unknown Error"

yes, PHP is setup and it works. As I mentioned, I'm able to use the Quiz Results Analyzer to pull quiz results just fine from the internalserverread.php file, even though the users get an "unknown error" message.
So we do run a Windows domain based on a Windows Server 2008 domain controller; strangely, when I'm logged in to a workstation and take the quiz, I don't get the "unknown error". It only seems to happen to other users, which points to a permissions problem but all of the permissions are clearly set on the PHP files to allow read/write for all domain users. I even created a dummy account replicating all of my profiles memberships/permissions and it didn't work on that one. Besides, if it really was a permissions issue, why would Captivate allow those people to post their results to the internalServerReporting.php at all? As it is, despite the "unknown error" message, they post their results just fine.

[solved] Typing error sound - after last update

Hey guys, after last update every time i make some mistake while typing on console (rxvt) or at the file search on gnome, this weird sound comes out from pc speaker (some eletric bizzz). I can't find anything related to this, does anyone knows if that is some kind of configuration of Xorg or it's a bug?
Thanks for any help!

DDIC_FIELDS_NO_ACCESS Error messages after ECC6 patches

Dear All,
we have just completed the support package update process of our productive system.
Our system is an ECC 6 installation on HP-UX, using an Oracle 10 database.
After the successful patching process of the ABAP stack and the kernel,
we procceeded with the use of the SAP Load Generator (sgen) to re-generate all objects of the software components that we use.
While the job RSPARAGENER8 was running, there were error messages in the system log.
The error messages in sm21 and st22 were the following:
DDIC_FIELDS_NO_ACCESS
Short text
     Error when accessing Dictionary table "HRDEPBSVASENS_LOG_P14N91_QOTB".
What happened?
     Processing had to be terminated because an internal error
occurred when generating the ABAP/4 program "CL_HRDEPBSVASEN_P14N91_TOOLS==CP".
Error analysis
     When accessing the attributes of Dictionary table
"HRDEPBSVASENS_LOG_P14N91_QOTB",meaningless values were found.
Since this is a Productive System it is very crucial that we solve this
issue immediately.
We have not been able to find any relevant SAP notes on this issue and this is why your help will be valuable.
Please advice for necessary steps.
Regards,
Kontogianni Eleni

Hello!
I am seem to be having these issue with many tables in my upgraded system (I am upgrading from 4.6c to ECC 6.0).
I have been able to resolve the problem by activating the tables again.
Is there note or fix to solve this problem for all tables?
Would Mass activating all tables be a good idea?
Has anyone else encountered this?
So far I have the problem with the following tables:
T496D, TZPA, TZK01, TZK02, TZC37, TZB0A
T399X, T156S
TVAKZ
TVLP
TCORU
