Whenever I try to open an attachment I get "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred"

Title says it all. If I try to "open" an attachment, the download dialogue comes up and the progress bar begins to fill, then when it should be complete I get the message:
"The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred
Please Try Again."
I can still save the files, but then I have to delete them (and that's just a hassle). Any help would be appreciated!

Tools, Options, Attachments, Incoming. Then set to your prefered PDF reader.
An update has reset this to the internal PDF viewer rather than sticking with the one you had before. This reader does not work on my machine.

Help! Message "pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different l

I had the contents of my (dying) ibook transferred onto my emac. The tech created a new user/desktop on the emac. Now, when I try to open PDF files from a website, I get a drop down window saying this:
"Downloading - users/myname/desktop/xxxxx.pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location."
Points to note: 1) The "xxxxx.pdf" part of the above message changes each time I try to open a pdf document, even the same one, and it does not show the real name of the document (e.g. CollegeApplication.pdf). The xxxxx.pdf is usually written as gibberish, like "86hgkjh.pdf" or "sdfj99f.pdf."
2) this never happened on my laptop;
3) the settings are set in Firefox to download pdf's to my desktop;
4) I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, which I already tried opening before downloading;
5) the settings are also set to open pdfs using adobe.

I had the same problem when I installed Firefox 3, but I think the problem is due to my recent hard drive upgrade. Try changing the download location from "Desktop" in Microsoft Internet Explorer and all other browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc.) to whatever default location you prefer. I never use Internet Explorer, but I think somehow my settings were corrupted when I upgraded my hard drive. I found this solution on another site also.

Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50). Everytime I try to sync my phone?

What operating system do you have on your computer?

Whenever I try to open After Effects I get the message "You can't use this version of the application "Adobe After Effects CC" with this version of OS X?

All of my other programs will open in Creative Cloud but whenever I try After Effects I get that error messaged. I have everything updated and I have tried uninstalling and installing again but I still get the same error message.

Your AE is not up to date. 12.0 will not work on OSX 10.9.3
Mavericks broke some things.
You need the latest update to CC which is 12.2.1.5 (although they're releasing another update later this month).
Although, technically you don't need the latest update as the 12.0.1 update made AE work with Mavericks

I cant open my itunes on windows7 and when i try to sign in apple id, he shows that cannot connect to itunes store, unknown error occured (0x80090318), please help me

Hi ashraf_8900,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that it can be frustrating when you cannot open iTunes or sign in with your Apple ID. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps I would recommend. I would first recommend that you completely uninstall iTunes and all of its related components in the correct order, however. Please use the attached article for information and instructions on removing iTunes from your computer. Once removed as described in the steps below, please install fresh and test. If the issue continues, please let me know.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
Steps
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel.Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then restart your computer.
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them. Doing so might have unintended affects.
Happy holidays,
Joe

I moved my itunes library to my new MacBook Pro from my iMac using an external harddrive following apple's steps. When I plug in my ipod shuffle 4g and try to download voiceover I get The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-54)

I'm just wondering what step I should start with to resolve this. There's probably a library issue but I'm not really sure where to start with that.
I'm pretty sure that the voice over is what is giving the error with itunes because when I try to download it, it won't then the error will pop up after a few moments of itunes trying to download it. Thanks for your support!

Don't know what changed today but it downloaded and installed on the shuffle. So far so good.

When I try to sync my music from my iTunes library onto my iPod, this message comes up "the iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." I have already read all the troubleshooting options on the apple website. Nothing is working. What now?

I already tried to restore the iPod, and I tried unchecking and checking every option for what I want to sync to my iPod. I restated my computer as well as iTunes, and I feel like I am out of options. I tried doing everything in all of the help articles as well as the steps given in the article written by the tech specialist on the apple website. I feel like I am out of options. my iPod is not even 2 years old, I do not have coverage, and I cannot afford a new iPod of any kind. Please help!!!!

Had this issue only yesterday...
goto itunes and hook up your ipod
click on the ipod in itunes and goto music tab in right hand screen
untick sync music option
apply / sync
go back and re-tick the option
apply / sync
A boring and tedious solution I agree, but it did work for me

The itunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50) What do I do to get rid of this warning. I get it when I try to sync my phone or ipad

I am running 64 bit windows operating system. I upgraded to iOS6 for iphone 4s and ipad II. Since that upgrade I have been getting this error message
The itunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50)
I've updated windows thinking it was a compatibility issue. Uninstalled itunes and reinstalled with the Kaspersky off.
What is going on. Thoughts?
and if you click okay it keeps coming back for 3 or 4 pop ups before going away

Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

When I try to open Adobe InDesign, I get this message: Adobe InDesign terminated because of a serious problem/ fault. Start again to restore work in InDesign documents that has not been archived.

What can I do to start the program again, when it does not answer? The only message I get is that there is a serious problem.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply! However, it works again, after a restart!
