It sounds like your PC or Mac's internal HD is full. You need to delete some data or move it to an external hard drive or storage device of some sort before you'll be able to successfully complete the restore.

ITunes could not sync apps because apps could not be determined

iPhone 3G with current iOS software and latest version of iTunes using a Windows 7 PC.
- so I was transferring pictures from my Mom's iPhone to the computer and syncing other pictures back onto the phone. all well and good. then I do a general sync and iTunes said something about the computer not being authorized to sync apps or something. so i authorized it. **** (here's the tricky part: my mom doesn't use the iPhone for music or anything like that... just calls, texts, apps, etc. so when she first got the iPhone my brother just set up the phone using his iTunes account. I have no idea if this caused any sort of malfunction or not, but it hadn't in the past)*** After I authorized the computer, the phone just kept syncing and syncing and syncing, but nothing was happening so I just canceled it, unhooked it from the computer, and I thought that was that.
Well, earlier she tried to use a couple of her apps and they would open for a second and then just close. So i thought maybe I cut off the sync prematurely the night before. I came up to re-sync it and now (several times) I get this message that "iTunes cannot sync the apps to "name of iPhone" because apps could not be determined" message.
I tried restarting iTunes and the iPhone and re-hooking the phone up to the computer, but everytime it acts like it's syncing but then the message appears.
I ran a diagnostic test through iTunes and it said the iPhone was not being recognized, but it is. ??? It just won't sync the apps even though they are all still on her phone. They just don't work.
When I click on the Apps icon in iTunes when the phone is hooked up it shows all the checked apps on the left side, but the screen shot just says "Loading Device..."
Nothing is working and I would hate to remove all the apps and either have to re-organize all the pages or lose them completely even though they are all free apps.
Any ideas on what the issue is or a fix? Would this have anything to do with having two iPhone 3G phones connected to my brother's iTunes account?

Okay so I thought of something after I submitted my question.. I took my mom's phone and hooked it up to my HP Notebook PC that runs Windows Vista and synced it. after updating some apps through the iPhone's app store the phone is now working again. And my computer did not receive the "iTunes cannot sync apps..." message.
Weird, I'll see if it continues to work tomorrow. I will try to re-sync it with her Windows 7 desktop PC and see if it gets the message again or not.
Weird, but it fixed it (I assume) so I figured I'd post trying to sync with another computer or operating system as a fix.

Can't sync iPod because file was not found?

Ok, me and my sister both have iPod mini's from June of '05. Well we got my mom a nano for Christmas. Her iPod wouldn't work with our version, so we downloaded the 7.0.2 version or whatever. It worked for a while, but now there are 2 songs with that "!" next to them, and when we try to sync the iPod, it won't do it because "the file could not be found" What file

When iTunes shows a song it getting the actual file from a folder on your computer. If you move that file, iTunes won't know what to play, as the file it used to play is "gone."
Try searching your computer for that song and see if you find the file.
Also, did you move any files in the My Music folder (or the iTunes folder in that)?

ITunes doesn't sync iPad, because apps can not be determined - how do I fix this?

For the past day I when I try to sync my iPad, I get the message:
iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad, because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.
How do I fix this?

Have you moved, renamed or deleted the original files?
Has another programme on your computer moved, renamed or deleted the files?
Have you just created this iTunes Library?
Have you recently added the missing music music from an external hard drive?
If it's none of the above, what have you been doing recently? For example, have you been "sorting" your files in your file manager?

B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you!

HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer." My computer is authorized

I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong? I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Could the items be purchased by another account?

"The iPod ... could not be updated because it could not be found" on Mac?

I just updated to the latest version of QuickTime and was notified that there was a new iPod update but when I try to update it I get the message:
"The iPod "My Name's iPod" could not be updated because it could not be found."
I tried to remove the iPod Software Update folder, but that didn't work.
I also tried to restore the iPod too, but I got the same error message??
I see documents for Windows on this error message about the firmware being corrup bug not for Macs.
What's going on??

Well, back again... a new iTunes and QuickTime update via Software Update and it got my iTunes in the same state again after the web installation. DOH! I reinstalled both QT and iTunes again to fix the issue again. I can't be the only one that this is happening to so just reiterate the fix works but that I'm beginning not to trust the Software Update versions of the installers for QT and iTunes. There IS a difference and it's a buggy result of not being able to find the iPod afterward. Next time I get the prompt to update I'm going to refuse and then download it from the website.

Song could not be used because file could not be found

I recently had to purchase a new computer which came with the new Windows Vista. I had Windows XP before and from that computer I backed up ITunes on external hard drive. I have authorized this computer and installed Itunes and added the music back to folder. I can see all the music but I cannot play them due to the error song could not be used. I am having problems with the IPod and need to hook it up to computer to reset it. I am afraid it will mess up. What do I need to do? How can I get the music to play in library and if I hook up IPod will it mess it up more? Thanks for any help!!

I'm an Apple N00B and would be nice to see this answered (by Apple or someone that knows whats going on) - I realize this is a public forum, but in Googling "song could not be used because file could not be found" you (and me!) are not the only ones having this problem -
My situation is, that I BOUGHT a song from iTunes last night, it synched to my iPod OK - but in going thru iTunes today, I see the bang "!" next to the song... and not knowing all the icons yet for iTunes - it gives me that error - Saying it can't locate the song - would you (me) like to find it? - Yes, I BOUGHT it so would be nice to HAVE...
Point being, it IS on my iPod Classic - but is not on my PC??? How is this possible -
Furthermore - Since I bought it - and obviously I have it on my iPod now, but somehow is now "lost" on my PC (iTunes folder shows empty - for that song) - You'd think that either iTunes would be SMART enough to pull it from my iPod and save it to the folder (as the Album art shows in iTunes too???!) - Or that iTunes home page would recognize the "sale" and the "missing" song, and re-download it?? W-T-F Apple?
FWIW, for grins, I went back and tried to re-download the missing song - and was eager to SELL it to me again...
Again, I'm new to Apple and iTunes - so maybe there's a quick and easy fix for this - Yeah yeah - call me a Windows idiot - but suspect I'm not alone with this problem... or that it's not just a Windows issue -
Any thoughts?
TIA -

"could not be copied because you do not have permission to see its contents."

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with using my ipod or iphone with iTunes recently.
If I have a third party app that supports carrying documents and files around on the device like a flash drive (such as Azul or Phone Drive) anytime I try to add a file on the device or copy it to the computer, it says "could not be copied because you do not have permission to see its contents."
This wasn't a problem a few days ago, as I use this process all the time. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
I have opened up the read/write privilages for all folder concerning itunes as far as I could tell and nothing changes.
Thanks
-Robert

Imagine if the error mesage in iTunes told the user there was such a simple solution. For example, if it said:
"__YourFile__ could not be copied because you do not have permission to see its contents. You probably can solve this by unlocking your iPhone."
Then people could just continue with what they are trying to do, rather than having to do a search here or on Google to find out what that unhelpful error message meant. Come on, Apple!

I purchased lots of music yesterday from itunes and now i can't export to ipod because files are not found

Either you did or did not. Do you not remember?

Media is not burned to iDevices. Burning an iDevice would destroy it.
Why will iTunes not allow you to sync media to the iDevice? What happens when trying to sync media to an iDevice?

I changed my password so now when I pull up my account there is no music.
Changed password to what?
Pull up what account?
What does this have to do with iTunes?
One does not pull up an account to access their media, they simply launch iTunes.
Changing a password has nothing to do with accessing the media on the computer when one launches iTunes.
What is the actual issue that is occurring?

iTunes has nothing to do with putting media on a non-Apple device.

You need the System DVDs that originally came w/the computer in order to troubleshoot. All Macs prior to & including ML came w/System DVDs.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

Getting as message that says"The folder "Desktop" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges". How can I get into this folder?

OPen your Users folder, Highlight the Desktop Folder, do a Get Info or CMD+i on it, see if it's locked or if you have Rights & Privileges at the bottom.

Office 2004 could not be opend because you do not have sufficient access...

I just created a second user acount on my imac. I went to go and open microsoft word.
On the folder there was a little red circle with a line it it. I clicked on the folder and got this message.
The folder "Microsoft Office 2004" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges.
What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Select the folder in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and change the permissions in the Ownership & Permissions section so that all accounts have read and write access to that folder. You may need to change the folder's owner to your account first; if so, change it back when you've changed the permissions. Changing the permissions on other items in this folder may be needed.
