What to do with "Unknown Error"

I have just finished re-creating a website that had been published and is no longer in my iWeb domain file. I went to publish it and get an Publish Error that simply reads "Unknown error". How do you go about knowing how to fix this? I am at my wits end.

I got the unknown error message when I created a new page and did not change the graphics. In other words, I left the default picts iWeb created. Changing them and typing in new text fixed the problem and the site published normally.

I went to another Apple store today and again brought up the issue of my iPod not syncing. As I mentioned before I've attempted to sync using two XP Pro computers with identical music files, different hardware but fully up to date XP Pro, including iTunes. Both failed. Identical music files on two iBooks running OSX (10.3.9) with up to date iTunes synced every time.
Add to this that I went to two different friends with very different music libraries and had problems on their machines as well (both XP machines, one home, one Pro)...neither person had problems with syncing their newer iPods.
At the store the guy did a restore of the iPod (something I've done many times) and he tested some 300 music files with no problem. He restored it again and gave it back to me.
I brought the iPod home and successfully synced 3853 music files with ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS! I don't have any clue what was different when he did the restores, but it worked.
Of note, before anyone asks, everytime I've ever tried a sync on all of my computers or my friends computers, I've always triggered a restore to try to fix the iPod.

Ipod touch won't sync music comes up with unknown error 13019

my son's ipod touch 2nd gen won't sync music with itunes library, comes up with unknown error 13019.
i tunes library is running version 5.0.1, ipod touch running 4.2.1 (highest upgrade available for this generation I have been told)

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.

Hi sailesh.chopra,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to update because of an error 6. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.

3GS froze, then said Activation required, now fails to restore with unknown error (1)

My 3GS froze while using Navigon, then showing a pop-up saying "Activation required". When tapping the pop-up, an unusual white question box regarding location service shows up, after tapping "next" the process hangs. Connected to iTunes later, same procedure again, hangs again. When trying restore with iTunes, the whole load process looks ok, but at the end fails with "unknown error (1)", probably when trying to rstart the phone. I tried all variations (restore mode, DFU mode, hard reset) but no luck. The phone was recently officially unlocked (AT&T), could this be a factor? Or is this a harware problem? Any ideas aor hints welcome.
Thanks,
Manfred

Thanks for the pointer to the KB article. Error 1 is missing from the list provided by iTunes (more information), but I was afraid it means hardware. Will try on another computer, but I'm afraid the phone is sick.
Thanks,
Manfred

"No headers or footer ware added because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error." in adobe professional 6.0, what to do with this error?

"No headers or footer ware added because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error." in adobe professional 6.0, what to do with this error?

My suggestion is that you reconsider whether your in Non-Drop frame. NTSC standard is Dropframe 29.97. I'm afraid you may have this backwards. DVX100's default to dropframe (29.97fps) in the USA. FCP could be encountering a pulldown cadence every few minutes because it expects a frame drop that is not there.
Remember the frame drop only occurs every few minutes so this makes sense. With standard NTSC capture (not 24fps pulldown removal) such dropped frames don't mess anything up. They just subtly shift the timing and sync of the audio track. You could have captured this way for years and rarely seen a problem with short clips. When doing a pulldown removal, a missing or in your case extra frame can confuse the pulldown removal system as it expects to find the video encoded in 29.97 rather than 30fps.

I created an iCloud account for my sons ipod tried to sign into the App Store and it just keeps coming up with unknown error can you help

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

i have updated my itunes but when im restoring my iphone 5 phone it keeps coming up with 'unknown error occurred (3) please help as i cannot even turn my phone on now

Hello there, BundyA.
Error 3 is usually associated to security software settings. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information and links for troubleshooting the issue:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
This section should prove useful:
Configure your security software
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

No matter what I do I cannot restore ipod classic. Ipod is corrupt with unknown error 1439.cannot restore the ipod Have tried all options but . can anyone help?

I recently bought a second-hand ipod classic. When connecting to itunes the message reads that the ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored to factory settings. However, this does not solve the issue and I get the message saying unable to restore, unknown error 1439. No matter what i have tried through apple support i get the same result. My computer runs Windows XP but I have also tried on my laptop which operates Vista and still no joy. Anyone able to solve this one?

Normally unknown error is due to timeout, cause by
connected to slow USB port at the front of the PC, or using USB Hubs - Better connect to the USB HUb at the back of the PC. (Some Laptop, has only one High Power -USB2.0 port
USB resource low, due to sharing of other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices when Restoring.
Winsocks conflict with iTunes - Disconnect Internet and Stop firewall and Antivirus, emails apps.
Your hardisk is dying, read this earlier post by tt2.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17776595#17776595
This wont solve your problem. but is very helpful in troubleshooting.
It would also help, if you can state
Which version of iTunes are your running?
What is your iPod software version as shown in the iTunes summary page?
Have a nice day!
