  • HT201210 why do i get an unknown error when trying to restore my Iphone 3GS,

    i was informed (by app store icon i had apps that needed to be updated ,
    i said ok to the 2 updates ,
    the phine then asked me (as usual) to insert my pass word
    it said i had used wrong pass word and re-enter it which i did
    this then  set my phone to keep switching itself on and off repetedly
    i tried to switch off the phone using the power button  butg at first this did not work,
    i then pressed reset  (power button and home button, as requested in the user guide
    my phone then came back on with the itunes  and usb logo tgelling me to connect to itunes to do a restore ,
    after the phone tries to update itself with the download
    although the phone trys to reboot and use the down load it just keeps disconnecting fron my computer
    and itunes come back with an error message telling me it cannot make contact with the phone
    there are no other fixes on your site
    so now my phone is out of warranty it is now useless
    i had though of upgrading to an iphone 4S but am now thinking do i want to do that now this has happened
    maybe its time to go back to android  also recently bought an IPAD touch which up to now is fine
    but not sure if i should keep this as ive never had this happen to me before and the phones are so expensive
    my old galaxy android phone still works fine , so ive now put my sim card in there and works fine after 5 years continuous use
    what would you suggest i do now
    what will you do  to make me stay with apple ????

    First, turn off your CAPS lock.  Typing in all CAPS is considered screaming/yelling and many will simply ignore your posting.
    Are you currently having issues?  Is it when trying to purchase only on the device?  Are you able to complete purchases via iTunes on your computer?

    I keep getting an unknown error when trying to connect to the store. I ran diagnostics and it says secure link to itunes store failed. I've tried all suggestions from apple and nothing will work.
    Please Help

    I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me...  I only had to reset the iTunes cache
    1) Open iTunes
    2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
    3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
    4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

  • Why am I getting a -50 error when moving music to my iTouch?

    Why am I getting a -50 error when moving music to my iTouch?

    As Jim as stated, you do not want the OS, video app, and media all competing for hard drive access.
    It may have worked before, but that doesn't mean will work henceforth, as you have learned.
    A FW800 portable drive will cost about $75.00.

  • Why am I getting the 404 error when on pinterest?

    Why am I getting the 404 error when on pinterest?  This is happening on my iMac and macbook.
    I have tried to clear my history, tried in safari and in firefox, enabled and disabled Javascript, and allowed 3rd party sites.
    Please help!!

    No you are not alone. I tried to create an apple ID and then access the app store and itunes and got the same error code. Spoke with tech support for over 45 minutes and we tried everything. Tech support seemed to think that it had something to do with credit card registration. Suggested that I use a different credit card. I modified my account settings with a different card and still had the same errors. At this time I have no confidence that Apple has any idea what the problem is.

  • Re: the 'noise' effect. I get a 'unknown error' when encoding my movie.

    When I am using the add, 'noise' effect I get a 'unknown error' when I  try to encode my movie. Help.

    Yes, I have an idea: do not use a string for $parameters; use a double-quoted here-string:
    $parameters=@"
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    etc...

  • Why im i getting "an unknown error has occurred" message when i sign into the app store

    Im getting "an unknown error has occurred" message when i sign into the app store. I don't have a problem signing into anything else. What could the problem be?

    Were you able to find a solution to this issue? I am also getting the 'an error has occurred' message when trying to download or update any apps on my iPhone. Restarted, updated, re-booted, etc etc, nothing has worked.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • I am getting an unknown error when trying to download a word document from mail to pages, any help

    I am trying to download a word document from mail into pages and I keep getting an unknown error message, are there special settings for this? Any help much appreciated!

    Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.

  • HT4972 I keep on getting a unknown error when I go to app store?

    I keep on getting a unkown error when going to app store?

    Here are a number of things to try. Try signing out and back in again first.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
