Why do I keep getting "an unknown error has occurred" when I try to update or add an app? I have plenty of memory left. Suggeestions?

Why do I keep getting this message "an unknown error has occurred" when I try to update or load an app. The issue is not space (memory) as I have 2/3 memory left to use. Any suggestions?

Hi ...
Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) reinstalls the App Store for you which may help. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.7.3.
If that doesn't help, if you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
If you have an app called LIttle Snitch installed, that can prevent apps from updating.

Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
Thanks!
disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

Hi ...
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

Trying to download Maverick, and keep getting "an unknown error has occurred'

Trying to install maverick, keep getting 'an unknown error has occured' message when I try to login to my apple account

Just saw the post from makras.
There are always a few problems with a new OS. Apple can't police every maker of crapware that's on the planet.
If you have a WD external drive, I would transfer (not clone) the files from it to another non-WD external drive that doesn't have crapware on it, and then erase the WD drive, and then never ever again buy a WD drive.
You will find many posts on the Apple Discussions from disgruntled narcissists (a few borderlines too) who blame Mavericks for their computer problems.
Mavericks is excellent (at least for me).
Every new OS has some incompatibilities with older software. That's why if someone is an early adopter, they should understand this, and if they have a low tolerance for frustration, or are uncomfortable with basic mac maintenance and troubleshooting, they should not be an early adopter.
Seems like the vast majority of problems that people complain about on the forums are related to crapware they have acquired on their computers from previous installations and promiscuous downloading habits.

I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4GS iPhone

I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4S iPhone.
Please Help!!

I had the exact same problem. Worked fine for a couple days then suddenly getting this error. I fixed it, however.
Do this:
Open the App Store app on your phone.
Go to the "Featured" section.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on your Apple ID.
Screen pops up. Choose "Sign out".
Scroll to the bottom of the "Featured" section again.
Sign back in.
Try your download again.
This worked for me. Good luck!

IBooks for IPad 2 Unknown error has occurred when I try to download ?

iBooks for IPad 2 Unknown error has occurred when I try to download ?
Every time I try to download iBooks from AppStore it give me a unknown Error when it starts to load. Has any one else ever had this problem and any way to fix this.
Thanks

Fixed!!--Same error issue, but I hadn't downloaded any apps that required syncing. New iPad2 this Wednesday (6/15/11). Per other suggestions on this forum I tried hooking up to the laptop (already had latest iTunes loaded before my iPad2 came), iTunes started up, went to Apple iStore, login, confirm payment, try to download 'iBooks' it says I already have it. Look at the iPad and it's there.
This fix took all of 3-minutes and all is good. Now to learn to move things around. Newbie here Thanks to the forum for tips on things to try. I need to go back through documentation to see why I had such a problem. Not exactly plug-n-play, but then again, I fighting the urge to 'right-click'. Love the iPad2 so far. My first Apple-anything.

Why am I getting an unknown error has occurred when trying to download apps

For the past 12 hours I have been getting a message, 'an error has occurred' when trying to update any existing apps or downloading any new apps. Anybody experiencing the same thing or know what I can do?

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.

Getting "An unknown error has occurred" when trying to save a new contact

Scenario:
Using Outlook 2003 and Oracle Connector for Outlook 10.1.2_03 against an OCS 9 installation.
When I make a new contact and try to save it I get an error message in a popup window (with the title "Microsoft Office Outlook") with the text "An unknown error has occurred.".
Anybody seen this?
How can I troubleshoot this?

The first thing to do would be to set up logging through Connector. Under the Help menu, select "Outlook Connector Troubleshooting..." and the dialog has a few logging options. The section that might be of interest here is Calendar, since that is where your contacts are stored.
Other than that, try recreating your user's Outlook profile to see if that fixes the problem.

App Store gives "An unknown error has occurred" when I try to log in

I know I'm using the correct username and password -- using a different one gives a password-specific error, and the username/password works correctly elsehwere.
I have applied all updates, and rebooted.
I just had my SSD replaced (got the machine back today), and the apple store put snow leopard instead of lion on it -- my lion upgrade was purchased in the app store previously. So, I currently have mountain lion on this machine.
Thanks!

urgh... just noticed my previous post said i have mountain lion... i meant that i have snow leopard. no idea why i messed that up!
anyway, i just tried reinstalling snow leopard from the usb key that came with the computer. Then, I installed software updates until it told me there were no more updates. After that, I tried the app store again, and it still is giving me the unknown error. really irked by that. may have to take it back to the apple store yet again, to see if i can figure out why the app store won't work.

My ipod keeps saying that an error has occured when i try to sync it to itunes

When i try to sync my ipod touch up to my computer, the ipod syncs but i cannot get music off of my itunes account onto my ipod.

Whatis the exact wording of the error message?

I keep getting "an unknown error has occurred (-50) when syncing my iPhone 4s over wifi.

Don't know why this is happening. It starts the sync just fine, then after step two it stope and gives me this error message. How can I fix this?

I'm having the same issue. Have you found a fix for this yet. If you refer me it would be much appreciated.

SICE LAST NIGHT I CANT GET ANYTHNG OFF THE APP STORE, MY PHONE HAS 4.3.3 AND IS JAILBROKEN I CONNETED TO AN OPEN WIFI LAST NIGHT BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN MY DOWNFALL!

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?

Why do I keep getting "an unknown error has occurred" when I try to update or add an app? I have plenty of memory left. Suggeestions?
