HT1339 Error: This game cannot be launched. Ipod will not respond

I have an error message on my iPod classic. It states, Error: This game cannot be launched. And now my iPod wheel will not respond. I am unable to shut it down or connect it to my iTunes.

Try a hard reset. This procedure does not erase any content stored on the device. It is similar to rebooting your PC. To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

"This game cannot be launched error" iPod Classic 160 Gb

I have an iPod Classic, 160 Gb. I purchased Sudoku from the iTunes store.
The game downloaded to my computer; and it shows in the iPod Games tab.
It appears to sync to the iPod, but in the iPod's games menu there is no icon for the game (just the black and white dice). When I try to play the game, I get the "This game cannot be launched error" with the prompt to reinstall the game.
Are there any fixes for this? I've tried all the troubleshooting in the support docs, and nothing seems to work.

Thanks for your suggestions; however none of them worked.
I contacted technical support, and the only suggestion they had for me was to request a refund - because for some reason, unknown to them, the game doesn't work on my iPod.
I'm not generally a ranter - I try to be polite to people, in person, on the phone, online - wherever, but I have to say that in my experience, Apple seems to have the worst support of any company with which I have ever dealt.
After being told no less than eight times, by five different representatives from iTunes support, I was referred to technical support, who told me in essence, "tough cookies" (although the representative certainly didn't say that, he was quite polite).
I had to double check that I was talking to "technical" support.
I've been a faithful iPod user for many years; but this experience has certainly soured me. I will have to think long and hard before buying another Apple product if the support I have experienced is indicative of a typical support instance.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Try a hard reset. To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around, so don't be afraid to try it more than once.

my ipod classic is stuck in the 'this game cannot be launched'mode.as a result i cannot use it for any think.it is not full.
thanks for your help.

Try resetting the device. The hard drive may not be full, but the device RAM might be. If resetting doesn't work then perhaps you have many large playlists and these are reducing the amount of free RAM for games.

"this game cannot be launched" and ipod is frozen

Ipod says, "this game cannot be launched" and ipod is frozen. it is a 160 gig clasic. any thoughts?

Usually a hard reset takes care of this issue. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Any luck there?

"This game cannot be launched"

I just got my new 120 GB iPod Classic 3 days ago. I was listening to it all day and when I sat down and tried to play solitaire, the iPod froze up and gave me an error that said "This game cannot be launched. This may be the result of a full iPod."
The iPod is NOT full. It won't turn off or go back to the menu. I tried holding down the center button and toggling the hold button but nothing has changed. Help?

Reset the iPod by holding down Menu+Select for about 6 seconds. Like rebooting your computer this should clear out the iPod's working memory and allow it enough room to launch the game. I while ago I found that a large(ish) number of complex smart playlists seemed to trigger similar problems which ceased when I reduced & simplified the playlists that I put on the iPod.

"This game cannot be launched... Please Reinstall..." -Help. Please.

Alright. So I just recently got some games off the internet for my 4th generation iPod Nano and i installed it and it synced just fine to my ipod. Everything seemed to work up until i actually tried to play the game.
When I clicked it an error message came up saying:
+"Error. This game cannot be launched.+
+Connect you iPod to iTunes and reinstall the game.+
+For more info, please vist: http://apple.com/support/ipod/"+
I went there, it obviously didn't work.
I've researched this problem everywhere and trying different methods such as restarting the ipod (center+menu), unsynching and syncing back in, going onto another account and installing there. Nothing seems to work and i have no idea what to do. I really want these games. :\

I am having the same trouble. Games work fine after I sync at my home computer. But after I have plugged it into my computer at work, i get the same message - "game cannot be launched". Then I have to plug it in at home, uninstall the games, and reinstall them. Then everything works fine. This has happened four times now, and plugging it in at work, where I obviously do not have the games on my computer, seems to be the problem. I think Apple needs to come up with a patch for this.

Launch Error - This file cannot be launched

Hi all,
I renamed a class file in a flash build and now every time I try to debug my project (cmd+F11) I get an error window saying Launch Error - This file cannot be launched.
I have tried wiping the project and moving the files in to a new one and also restarting FB4 but with no luck. I have also tried setting up a brand new blank project and this will not launch either.
The problem seems to only be with Flash projects as a new Flex project runs ok.
I am running Flash Builder 4 , Flash CS5 on a Mac 10.6.4 and debugging in Google Chrome 7.0.517.41
Any suggestions?
Cheers

There is no adl listed in my list of active processes in Activity Monitor. I have tried rebooting my machine, restarting all my software and projects and cleaning my projects. No luck yet.
If I just switch to flash and run the fla directly it works fine so it must be Flex specific.
Cheers for the suggestionsso far . Keep em coming if you have them

Funny you should ask... At about the same time that the Xserve was discontinued, we also lost our channel rep of nearly 14 years. Right now we are not sure who our rep is. I have however, sent this to as many people in Apple that I could think of. And I plan on continuing to reach out to as many as possible.
The sad reality is that this decision is impacting customer deployments and the future of customer installations. Apple strives for market share and loves to tout those numbers. But the numbers we fought for over these last eight years are going to disappear.
As much as this impacts our business, we are making up for it in enterprise deployment of systems. We will survive and lead in our geographic area. I do not fear that. But OS X Server is a UNIX server and with it has come all of the benefits of a UNIX system, including legitimacy in a data center. The Intel Xserve cemented this reality because of its hardware configuration and form factor. Yes, we have G4 and G5s still in service. But those are mostly in all Mac shops that understand the benefits and can work around the buzz word limitations. But fortune 100/500 IT departments did not really get on board until the release of the Intel server.
Still beating the drum to raise awareness. Spread the word and talk to your Apple reps.
Also, ask about the direction that Apple's Enterprise team is going. If the news I hear is correct, then our fears about all things pro and enterprise going away are likely true.

Error: "This game cannot be played."

I get this error when I try to play any game I purchased from the iTunes Music Store:
This game cannot be played.
Connect your iPod to iTunes and reinstall the game.
The only way I know of reinstalling is turning off syncing for games and applying, then turning it back on again and applying so it installs again. Why isn't this working for me?
This is not the same as the failed to authorize message.

I cannot load the game I purchased onto my iPod. I get the following error message:
The game Mahjong was not copied to the iPod "Rich's iPod" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer.
I am using the PC version of iTunes. My generation 5 video iPod is running ver 1.2 of the iPod software. I shut down and restarted the PC but still have the problem.

Flex Builder 3 error: This file cannot be launched

All of a sudden when I try to run my app from within Flex
Builder 3, I get a popup that says:
This file cannot be launched. I right click on my mxml file
and the option to set it as default is greyed out.
How can I make this error go away?
Thanks

I've filed a number of bugs about a lot of things :P
Part of the problem for me is that I am using Vista x64 and
there are known issues with Eclipse 3.3 and the Logitech SetPoint
drivers on that OS. Basically, in FB3 I get corrupted Property
Dialogs and Preferences (can't change key binds, or set compiler
config, etc.). It does work in Eclipse 3.4M4 with the plugin, but
then Design Mode doesn't work properly (images and style are
wrong), and that is unsupported by Adobe. So basically I switch
back and forth between the two whenever I need to access the
dialogs lol. Given that kind of situation, it is difficult to know
what is a propblem with my specific config, and what is a bug.
Generally one of the things I see is my embedded fonts start
showing up as errors when I hit compile, then I have to do a clean
build. CSS errors/warnings show up in the main mxml file instead of
the CSS file (at the CSS file's line numbers).
I've also seen issues where modules aren't saved to the
properties files properly. Lack of conditional compilation support
(debug versus release at the bare minimum) in FB3 is annoying
(though you can do it with ANT).

HT1853 My laptop lost connection with itunes while my ipod was in do not disconnect mode. My ipod will not respond now and still shows do not disconnect?

My ipod was connected to my laptop and in the 'Do not Disconnect' mode. My computer rebooted after security scan and now my iPod is stuck in the 'Do not Disconnect' mode. The iPod will not turn off, nor will my itunes recognize it is connect.

Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Ipod will not respond, constant beeping... HELP!!!

This morning I was listening to my fully charged 30GB ipod, that I bought 15 days ago, and I pressed the |<< button to skip back to the last song I played, when the ipod froze. The screen will not light up. The click wheel will not respond. The screen says the song is playing, but it isn't. I can't reset it, because as I said, the click wheel will not respond. Also, my MacBook will not recognize it when it's plugged in.

My fifth generation iPod is having the exact same problem! Please help, the beeping will not stop and the iPod not only isn't responding, but neither iTunes nor the computer itself is recognizing that it's connected.
