Unknown error on iPad 2

Dear All
For some reason I have been unable to download any updates or purchases from App Store/iTunes. When I put in the correct ID it comes up with Unknown Error, no specifc code. I have changed my apple ID twice and this hasnt worked. I have also rebooted the iPad twice. everything works fine on my other devices. Running OS 5.0.1. This has just started today and has been working fine since today
Any ideas?

I had the same issue.  I went into my settings found the Store Icon and logged off and logged back in and it worked for me. Hope this helps.

  • YouTube unknown error on iPad and iPhone

    When I try to load on YouTube I get unknown error...  How can I fix ts?

    Do you have two routers by any chance? I had a VPN router (non-wireless) and another router (wireless to provide WiFi) connected to it. Well, I didn't need the VPN router anymore, so I removed the VPN router and changed the settings of the wireless router to use it as the only router at home. Now it's all OK. Looks like it had to do with the router, but I cannot tell exactly what caused it.
    That being said, I could view YouTube with no problem for a long time with the same settings, so I don't know why it started all of a sudden.
    All is good for now for now. Hope this helps.

  • Unknown Error during Recovery - iPad no longer Recognized by iTunes

    I have a 3rd Generation iPad which I was attempting to perform a factory reset.  I received an "Unknown Error" during the process and from that point on I have been unable to get iTunes to recognize my iPad in recovery mode (or otherwise).
    I have tried every thread on the subject, but I found one interesting thing.  If I connect the iPad with the same cable, etc. to another computer it immediately recognizes it in recovery mode and offers to restore the iPad.
    It seems like my computer is not recognizing the iPad because it was in the process of restoring the device when the error occurred.  Does anyone know if there is a way to reset or fix this issue.  I would prefer not to update iTunes and download both the new iTunes and iPad software again and use another computer if it is not necessary.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey KSHItunes,
    That was a good test to try your iPad on another computer.  It does seem to isolate the issue to something with your computer setup.
    Although you would prefer not to update iTunes, there may be steps in this article which can help.

  • Tried to update my iPad  OS from iTunes. Frozen and got an "unknown error msg". I tried to restore the iPad to factory settings..got the same

    I bought today a new iPad from Rideau Store. The setup guys didn't update to latest software version. I tried to do myself trough iTunes, which notify me that an upgrade is available. After a while the upgrading process froze with a msg "unknown error ..". I clicked on the More  info  button and I got a page saying "due to a scheduled upgrade of Apple's support system some feature are not available.
    The bottom line is that now the iTunes does detect the iPad being in recovering mode and asks to restore it to fabrics defaults. I tried to do this and again I got aqn "unknown error"
    Finally I run the iTunes diagnostics to check the connectivity between my iPad and my HP laptop (iTunes). For unknown reson the iTunes does not detect my iPad. See below the diagnostics log:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    sign in, again with id and password
    then do update.

    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.

  • "unknown error" while downloading app on iPad

    When trying to download iBooks on my new iPad I get an "unknown error message. Can anyone help? Thanks

    If you looked around, you'd see several threads on this.
    This is a problem being experience by several people, so the issue has to be on Apple's end.  If you want to download iBooks now, connect your iPad to your computer, and download it from iTunes, then sync it to your iPad.

  • An unknown error occurred (-1) while trying to restore Ipad 3 new

    Happy iPad users, I may need some help from you please.
    I’ve got a problem with my iPad new 32 GB WiFi + 4G LTE.
    I bought it just recently in China and was using it for nearly one month without any issues.
    Then at some point i started getting synchronization problems with iTunes and applications that I have downloaded did not run properly or simply won’t start on my iPad. Then I’ve lost cellular signal.
    Trying to resolve the issues I had to reset iPad to factory settings and after that I could not register it with apple. I tried many times with no success.
    Then I went through some internet articles and decided to restore my iPad and finally I’ve got my almost new iPad stuck is restore mode!!!
    I cannot get it out of restore mode and I cannot get it restored.
    When I try to restore it I get the following message:the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
    The ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
    Here are the things I’ve done so far trying to restore it
    Tried to restore in on Windows XP – no luck, same message
    Tried to restore it on Windows 7 – no luck, same message
    Tried to restore it on MacBook – NO LUCK, SAME MESSAGE
    Tried to use recovery fix option on redsn0w. Did not help. I tried different versions of this program with no success. Maximum what I had is my iPad was entering “white apple mode” after clicking fix restore button.
    Tried to restore iPad from DFU mode both on Windows XP and Windows 7, no luck, same message (error -1)
    I suspect that my iPad may have a hardware issue however I still hope it can be fixed with your help.
    We don’t have an official apple support centers where I leave and I would like to try all the options before I send it to abroad apple support center or to a shop where I bought it.
    Please can anybody help me with advice on how to fix my iPad?
    Thank you all in advance.

    I am facing the same issue, have you had luck getting it solved?

  • The iPad could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)

    As a lot of people had last night the Apple servers were very busy with iPads and iPhones upgrading to iOS5... So I waited until this morning to upgrade.
    iPhone 4 no issues at all and now using iOS5
    iPad (version 1) backed up but not is coming up with the following error:
    The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)
    Typically error 1 isn't on the list and I can only find a handful of similar comments with no luck in fixing this.
    The error appears when trying to restore the firmware and I have tried rebooting my mbp and iPad multiple times. I have even resorted to installing iTunes on my Windows 7 PC where I also get the same error.
    Anyone had any luck in getting past this?

    I am having this same problem. I haven't plugged my ipad into my computer in 6 months or so but some of the apps (like ABC shows) are now asking for the the iOS5 so I figured I needed to go ahead and get everything updated. I have an ipad1 16G, with wifi and Verizon 3G and am using itunes on a pc.  The cellular was turned off when I plugged it in, but the wifi was turned on. It is now stuck in an endless loop where it tells me that itunes has detected an ipad that needs system restore, but when i try to restore, it eventually comes back with an error that says "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)."
    I plugged in and updated my iPhone 4 and it updated no problem.
    I see that all these notes about this problem are back from October and November of last year. I'm wondering if anyone has had it recently or if a solution has been identified?
    It sounds like if I keep trying the restore over and over again like 100 times, it might eventually work?  I don't think it's fair for me to have to buy a new device since it was apple's update software that broke it.
