Will not let me update on iMac (bought in 2012) when I click update it says Unknown error please try again later. What can I do to fix this?
My iMac is a 2012 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i5. When I sign into my apple ID a unknown error pops up and says to please try again later. Right now I am running OS X 10.8.5. Anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. Thanks.
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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. 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 by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

I've used Facetime on my MacBook Pro a bunch of times but today it's not connecting. It is giving me this message: "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." Has anyone encountered this same error and come up with a fix?

Everytime I try to update my iPhone this happens: The iPhone cannot be updated because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is teporarily unavailable.
Please try again later.
Can you please tell me how to fix this? Thanks in advance.We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation. -

Hello,
I upgraded my Playbook yesterday as the software was released and today I decided to do a security wipe and start fresh. The device rebooted and I followed the prompts, entered a valid WiFi SSID, connected to the WiFi network and when it tries to do a software upgrade (Normal Process) I get the following error message.
The software update cannot be verified. Please try again later. (15)
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

I am using photoshop elements 9 and need to upload a session of photos I just took in NEF raw, but it gives me an error saying it cannot open the photos. I read in another forum that this probably means I don't have the latest update installed. I try to get the update and it gives me an error saying that photoshop is unavailable and to try again later. I am on a time crunch and need to figure this out asap if possible! Any help is greatly appreciated!

There must be an easy setting somewhere that I'm missing, because my wife's laptop works when she shops on Amazon and she's using Firefox with Win7, as well. On my PC however, (IE) works just fine, but Firefox will not show images of the products I want to buy.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -

If not this:

I have tried to purchase albums by Muse dated 2003 and earlier from the iTunes Store in Denmark.
For all of these I am getting the response:
"Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later.".
Well its been like this for one week now.
Is it still "being modified" or is it an access error that should not be there and that I am getting a misleading error message?
Apple please help !
Thanks,
