any help appreciated.

Answer 1

The error was mainly because of the Javascript services - SitecorePath was mentioned wrongly.

I suppose to leave it as 'sitecore/content/myapp', but i changed to ''sitecore/content/' thinking that it needs to be changed.

Answer 2

This can be happened if you deployed your JSS application to the Sitecore and then made the changes at page level in Sitecore and for that, the respective items are not in correct workflow and JSS expecting them in specific workflow. To solve this, go to the User manager and find the User - JssImport and make that user as Administrator.
