Why iPad2 cannot download any application saying An unknown error has occurred?

I have been using by ipad2 with latest sw update -ios5- without any problem.
Just today when I  wanted to update some applications I just received a pop up massage saying an unknown error has occurred.
I can neither download an application nor make an update.
I tried couple of times the force quite and reboot. But the problem is still there.
I will appreciate if someone knows the root cause and suggests a fix
Many thanks in advance,
Monfort

Somehow this issue has been solved by itself.
I do not really know why this happened and how it is solved.

    Sign Out of your Account... Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    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.

  • It says "An unknown error has occured" when trying to download apps?

    Just got a new iPod touch 4g from my parents. Trying to download apps and it is saying "An unknown error has occured". Any idea? I am all registered and stuff for app store and such. I have no idea and this *****. Any ideas?

  • When I try to sign in to the App store, I get a message that says "An unknown error has occurred" and I cannot sign in.

    When I try and sign in to the App Store, I get an error message that says "An unknown error has occurred". The Apple Store told me to contact Apple Care which I did. They determined it was not an issue with my computer and thought it was an issue with the App Store.
    They had me contact the iTunes Store instead of the App Store because they said that was the technician I needed. The iTunes Store rep told me there was no issue with my iTunes account and told me "The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself."
    This issue has been happening for a few months and as I said above, Apple Care said it was not my computer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Restart your Mac then try again.

  • I can't connect with the App store.  It says "An unknown error has occurred"

    This just started a few days ago on my MacBook Pro.  My account is working fine - I can access it on my phone.  But I can't get to it on my computer.
    The first sign of trouble was when I tried to use a previously purchase app.  The app wouldn't open and gave me a message saying it wasn't purchased on this computer (which it was) and that I needed to enter my password.  When I entered it, it said "An unknown error has occured".  The first time it happened, I rebooted the machine and then the app opened and I was fine.  Next day same problem.  Our IT guy (not a real IT guy, I work for a small company and he is the most knowledgable about computer so he gets to do double duty) suggested making sure all software was up to date.  I downloaded updates, the computer rebooted, and I was fine again.  Day three comes and same problem.  Rebooting didn't help.  IT guy suggests upgrading to latest OS.  But when I try to access the app store to get the new OS, it asks for my password, and then says "An unknown error has occurred".  The computer can see my account.  It has my ID right, and I have a credit balance which I just updated last night and is being properly reflected on the home page.  But I can't buy anything or see details about my account.  I keep getting the same pop-up.
    Any idea what is happening or how to fix this?

    On what OS?

    When im installing the iLife bundle package, it says an unknown error has occurred. What do i do?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    Try deleting the cache associated wi the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Try the App Store.

  • There was a problem downloading ... An unknown error has occured -42018...

    Dear all,
    After upgrading to i-tunes 7 I'm not able anymore to download music. If I run diagnostics everything seems fine.

    However downloading the songs I bought doesn't work.
    Following error:
    "There was a problem downloading "...". An unknown error has occured (-42018). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    But my network is active and the diagnostics turn out OK. Please help me out!! I have songs to be downloaded that I have already payed for.

    This didn't work for me, but to any who may be interested, I also was experiencing unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2. But I managed to fix the problem on my machine.
    I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill
