Unknown error occurred when trying to play film clip in Facebook.

Since the latest update I have problems when I want to watch film clips posted on Facebook.
This only happens with clips that are shown "in" Facebook, if it's a link to a clip outside of Fb it's not a problem.
When trying to watch a clip it says, either directly or various times into the clip, "An unknown error occurred when trying to play a film clip".
if I try over and over again the clip finally plays to its full length but it really annoys me.
Anybody got an idea?

We got some reports of this lately and as you say, it only happens in Facebook.
Try clearing data for the Facebook app under Settings -> Apps and se eif that helps. If not, please see this thread: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/Facebook-Videos-not-playing/m-p/727861

'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the...

Hello,
I have had a BT Vision package for a few months but we recently moved house and wanted to transfer our services. Since moving in, we have got the telephone, internet and TV channels working however we are struggling with the additional TV services (i.e. catch up, recording, on demand).
Everytime we try to play something on catch up or via on demand, or try to play a recorded programme, it attempts to load but then the following error message appears at the bottom of the screen in a red box - 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the video OutputProtectionEnableFailed'
I have phoned BT's technical department on several occasions who have not been able to resolve the issue. I have tried Googling this error message and searching BT's website however I cannot find any comments about this error. BT have offered to send a technician out however will automatically charge £99 if this is an error with the cable rather than the BT box. This is a lot of money and I am not able to risk this potential charge when I'm not sure what the problem might be.
If anyone know's what might be causing this , or has had the same error message themselves, I would be very grateful to know.
Many thanks,
SHyde

Why pages sometimes tells me : "an unknown error occurred" when trying to export a document into .docx or .pdf ?

Hello !
Since I've done the 5.0 update for Pages (and also with 5.1 and 5.2), I sometimes don't manage to export my documents into .docx or .pdf files. I get a message telling: "an unknown error occured", and the file isn't converted. Could someone help me ?

Other than using the version that works, as VikingOS suggests, look for any distinguishing features or objects that may be common amongst the files that won't convert. Particularly Tables which seem to experience the most problems.
We have had a number of reports of this by other users and not been able to finger exactly what is the cause.
Pages 5.2 has quite a few problems with exporting and this is just another.

Why do I get a message that an unknown error occurred when trying to download a NYTimes cross-word using AcrossLIte, which happens only on Firefox 4?

With Firefox 3, I had no trouble downloading cross-word puzzles from the NY Times website, using the app. Across Lite. After installing Firefox 4, each attempt to download a puzzle evoked the message that the file could not be opened "because an unknown error occurred" The puzzles can still be downloaded through Safari and Camino, so the problem is probably with Firefox 4.

Reset IE to defaults.

An unknown error occurs when trying to use daq express VI's

When I try to open the daq express VI in labVIEW 8.2 (it doesn't matter which one), the program tries to "initialize" like its supposed to, but then it says that NI Assistant host encountered an error and needs to close, then gives a message saying "an unknown error has occurred." Also, Measurement and Automation doesn't work anymore, although it did before. I searched the forums and couldn't find anything like it. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi Kodeeswaran,
What version of LabVIEW are you using? Are you seeing the same issues with Measurement and Automations Explorer?
When you reinstalled everything what order did you install all the software?
The issue might be caused by file permissions. Do you have Administrative rights on the computer? If not can you try replicating the issue while logged on as administrator. If you don't see the error while administrator you will need to change the file permissions for some necessary files:
Log onto the computer as an administrator
Browse to the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MAX directory
Right-click the MAX folder and select Properties
Click the Security tab, and click the Add button
Type in the user name and click OK
Give the user Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permission
Click Apply and then OK
If you have several different users and want all users to use the DAQ Assistant, repeat the above steps but type everyone for the user name. The above steps are written for Windows XP with a NTFS file system. For previous Windows versions, the procedure will be very similar but may not be exactly the same.

Unknown error occurred when trying to buy music from iTunes

Whenever I try to buy a song or album from iTunes it says an unknown error has occurred (-405054) and can't be completed.

I had this problem just recently.
I discovered that the problem was located here: ROOT / Users / Shared -- if you open that and the "adi" folder has a little red minus symbol in its corner, your permissions have somehow been lost. (If you can't see your root directory, open Finder Preferences and, under sidebar, check "Hard disks." That will make your root drive visible.)
If the "adi" folder has the red minus symbol, right-click the folder and select GET INFO.
Sharing & Permissions is probably set to "System: Read & Write | wheel: Read Only | everyone: No Access"
If so, your user account has no permissions, and that means iTunes can't use the folder properly.
To fix this, first unlock the folder using the padlock icon in the bottom-right corner of "get info." You will have to supply your admin password to do this.
Then click the little + sign in the bottom left corner to add a user, and select your user ID from the list of choices. Give yourself Read & Write permissions. (Alternatively, you could change the permissions of "everyone" to Read & Write; others have done that, but I was leery of doing it).
Re-lock the folder when you're done.
Hopefully that will solve it.

TS2278 Error Occured when trying to play iTunes on Apple TV with PC

15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes with a PC

Are you only having trouble streaming from this particular PC or any network client to the Apple TV? How is the PC connected to the network, specifically by wire or wireless? What is the make and model of your wireless router? I assume that the Apple TV is connected by wireless to this same router ... correct? What operating system is your PC running?

An unknown error occurred when Dreamweaver tried to connect to this Contrib

Hello all,
I just started having a Dreamweaver problem that's perplexing me...
I have 2 machines, a G4 and a G5 both running Dreamweaver ( I have MX2004 and 8 on both machines, this problem effects both versions on the G5 only).
Everything was humming along just fine until the other day when suddenly I was receiving error messages on my G5 stating
"An unknown error occurred when Dreamweaver tried to connect to this Contribute site".
Then my local folder containing the website that I was working on would go gray (in Dreamweaver) and lose it's folder icon. It would still look like it was there, just no icon. When I would click on the drop down triangle it would state, " The local root folder, (and the folders name), does not exist. Please select a new local folder by clicking the Manage Sites button".
I then ran a couple of tests on the G4 and it connected fine, I was able to edit, upload/download, everything as usual. I then attempted to connect to the site with Transmit on the G5...no problem.
In the site definition I remembered that it may be set up to work with Contribute sites, but this was not the case, the box was unchecked.
I then had the idea to export the site key from the G4 and grab it onto the G5 and import it into Dreamweaver...I did this AND IT WORKED! Once...after that back to the 2 usual errors.
I found a work around for now...do my editing/site building in Dreamweaver, and upload with Transmit...this works fine...I've found that the errors only happen AFTER I've connected with the site(s). I've tried this with the other sites I maintain and it was the exact same thing.
Are there any similar experiences out there? This has really got me stumped... can't imagine what it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hello AndyDryva
If you have the latest version of iTunes and the error code is still happening, then the next thing is to remove the SC Info folder on your computer. Check out the article below on how to do that.

Concurrency Visualizer Extension (VS2013): "An unknown error occurred while trying to start the collection process."

Not sure if this is the right place to ask about this but since my question concerns an extension I'll give it a shot.
I'm trying to use the Visual Studio 2013 Concurrency Visualizer extension to debug a simple test console application. I've set executive paging to disabled in the registry as it directed and hit "add SDK to project" in the concurrency
visualizer menu options. And of course, restarted my computer to apply the settings. When I try to "start [the concurrency visualizer] with current project" I get an error popup:
"An unknown error occurred while trying to start the collection process."
I really need the concurrency profiling to start debugging contention in my multithreaded application. Prompt assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi,
This forum is to discuss and ask questions about extending and integrating with Visual Studio (using the Extension Manager, building VSX containers for deployment, Visual Studio SDK, and more), Visual Studio Online (REST APIs, service hooks, and OAuth),

You have problems when using Concurrency Visualizer Extension, please ask in
the page under "Q AND A". Since Concurrency Visualizer is a diagnostic tool, you can post this issue in

Get-recipient | Where {$_.EmailAddresses -match "[email protected]"} | select Identity, DisplayName, RecipientType. The mailbox which is using this address will show up in the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
