Unknown error when trying to copy music from itunes to ipod

Message appears "copy to the disk IP failed unknown error -53. Any ideas?

good gracious, Dick. you keep getting hit by exotic error messages. (in these circumstances, a -53 code is reasonably rare.)
just checking on something. what got you past the "exception" message that you were getting when you were trying to launch itunes? (thinking here that info on that might possibly give us a heads up on what might be happening with your -53.)

Has anyone heard of error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?

Has anyone run into error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?

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.

8008 Error when trying to download movies from iTunes

I've searched Google and the discussion boards but no one seems to have a fix for the 8008 error when trying to download movies in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes, my Mac Mini is up to date with all of it's patches, I've tried deleting the movie in the download folder and redownload the movie but I still get nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks,

If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.

TS4526 Unknown error when trying to play video from netflix or HBO go.

When I try to play a video from Netflix or HBO go it attempts to load and says unknown error please try again later. I've been trying this for several days. I logged out then logged back in with no change. It seems to play the other apps okay. I've only had the apple tv for a couple months and the software is up to date.

Had the same issue and found this information. Just tested and it worked for me. Hopfully helps some else also!
Answer: Change your DNS setting in the iPhone/iPad Wi-Fi settings.
That worked for me. My original DNS settings were assigned by my WIFI router a. I removed these and placed in: 208.67.222.222 (Open DNS server IP)
To make this adjustment go to Wi-Fi, locate your selected Wi-Fi network and click the blue arrow beside it to being up advanced settings, click in the DNS area to change it.

Getting an error when trying to download music from Family Sharing

My husband & I are signed up for family sharing. When I try to download any of the music I get this error, "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
What does this mean & how do I correct it?

Howdy mrscaskin,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you recently setup Family Sharing and are seeing an alert when trying to download a past purchase from the iTunes Store. The article linked below will explain the alert you’re seeing and provide information about using Apple IDs with multiple devices.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each device or computer was associated with your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days remain before your associated devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID.
I hope this helps.
-Jason

Getting Error 9812 when trying to buy music from ITunes store

I want to buy one song from the ITunes Store. I am able to access the song, but when I push the "Buy Song' button, it says "Unable to access Itunes store - an unknown error occurred - 9812". I have tried to fix ITunes through the Control Panel - this did not help. I tried switching ethernet cords - this did not help. I am able to access the internet and receive email so I don't understand why I cannot access the store.

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.

'Unknown Error' when trying to save files from CS under Leopard

We recently upgraded to Leopard, and reinstalled our CS apps. Photoshop and InDesign work fine. Illustrator, however gives us an 'An Unknown Error has Occurred' when trying to save any file. After dismissing the alert, a window pops up, informing us that, 'Can't save preview, but all other information was saved successfully. The file couldn't be found. ID=-43.' This happens when trying to save a new file, or an existing file, when saving with PDF preview is checked, or unchecked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I deleted preferences on both machines. The Intel seems to be cured. All file formats save, printing, and importing are functioning normally.
The G5 however is only modestly improved. I can now at least create and save files. Printing also functions. However if I attempt to use the template dialog box or to import (place) a file the dialogs crash the application.
My suspect is a corrupt font, but until I have time to track down which one it is, I'll have to limp along as is...
