App not installed because it could not be found

Last week during the flurry of updates before iOS 7 was released, one of the updates I received was not installed because the minimum iOS was now 7 and my iPhone has 6.1.4. When I found out the problem, I went to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications and removed the incompatible app and replaced it with the one that had been moved to the trash. I then deleted the incompatible app from my iMac. Now however, everytime I sync, I get the message that the app wasn't installed because it couldn't be found, even though the correct compatible app is in the folder wher it belongs AND is installed on both my iPhone and iPad. Any way to get iTunes to stop trying to install a non-existent app?

Hello there, Romad.
The following Knowledge Base article has information on how to download previously purchased content. You'll be best served by deleting the app in question and following the instructions that follow:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Everytime firefox updates I loose my Blue Mountain access. the pop-up reads Create & print plug-in could not install because it is not compatable with firefox 4.0.1

went to use create & print in bluemountain got "In order to use create & print in Mozilla you must download and install latest version. Do you want to install plug-in?" (clicked OK). Next message was "Firefox prevented this site (www.bluemountain.com) from asking you to install software on your computer" (clicked Allow) Next message "Create & Pring plugin could not install because it is not compatible with firefox 4.0.1" -- this sound like a firefox problem not bluemountain. Please help... I am paying to use bluemountain and firefox is not letting me get my $$$$ worth out of that site.

Launch Disk Utility in /Utilities. Then, click on the volumes under the top-level disk. The one that has this listed on the bottom is the boot volume.

You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.

The application was not installed because it is not signed

Hi
I am having a weird problem with some apps following a restore.
When I synch with iTunes, some apps are installed, and others get an error "the application was not installed because it is not signed".
These are ordinary apps, such as facebook.
The really strange thing is I can download the apps direct to the iphone, but instead of them appearing as a brand new app, all my previously recorded settings are restored.
The Capacity bar in iTunes is showing a large amount of 'other' data being stored on the phone. Its as if the apps are being transfered to the iphone from my PC, but just not being enabled.
I am running iTunes 9.2.1.5 and iOS 4.02 on a vista 64 PC.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Grant

If you are seeing alot of "Other" in the capacity there is a issue with the software you loaded onto the phone. When you did the restore did you restore from backup?
If so restore again and setup the device as new. Then sync all content back and should resolve the issue.
Hope this helps!!

The following NEF files were not imported because they could not be read.

Had to reinstall LR 3.3 and when importing NEF files from Nikon D90 the following message appeared,
"Some import operations were not performed.
The following files [NEF] were not imported because they could not be read"
Windows 7 user w/administrator rights. Assume files are not corrupt. Able to see thumbnails fine.

Move the files to a local drive, or use a card reader. Don't read directly from the camera if you are having problems.
Previews outside of Lightroom prove nothing, because most apps, including Explorer, just read the embedded preview made by the camera. Lightroom can be a good litmus test because it reads most of the image information and makes its own preview. During this process it is finding the file corrupt. Lightroom does not write to proprietary files (in most cases) so if the file is failing to be read, then it is the file that is the problem, not Lightroom.
Make sure you inspect all the parts of the import chain to rule out a bad cable or something.

Application not installed because it is not signed

None of my music or videos would show up on my iPhone 4, so I am trying to restore it but now no applications will install back on the phone. It gives the error "Application not installed because it is not signed" for 69 out of the 72 apps I am trying to re-install after a restore from iTunes. Any suggestions please.

I acquired my Verizon iPhone less than two weeks ago and had the same problems reported here - many, many "...Application not installed because it is not signed" errors. On following the Apple Troubleshooting advice, iTunes deleted everything I had downloaded on the iPhone.
After reading this thread, I turned off my network card and then turned off Zone Alarm. This time, everything sync'd on the first try.
Yes, it ***** to have to do that, but you don't have to REMOVE your ZoneAlarm; just disable it temporarily to get the sync done. It is a pain, yes, to not be able to use the computer to connect to the Internet for that 15 minutes or so, but if you do it right you won't be at risk and you'll be able to back up your phone/load music and etc.
Until ZoneAlarm fixes itself, this is our best option.

It says "can not install the driver: could not find media for this driver"

I have tried almost everything on net but not able to solve this, plz help.

= No SB0220 support available? SO, IS THERE exactly a model numbered as SB0220 AT ALL?
I think there is not.
Yes My Sound Card is exaclty SB0220. I have downloaded the patch and start it. After that I configured the installer and now I have creative drivers. But are they the best for my sound card? After all I`ve pathed the installer and some sort lied it. If the drivers are for my model, why should I path it's
Yes, I've seen a true SB0220 too on a picture after writing that comment so there is true SB0220 model. But, are you sure your card is SB0220? Did you look the number from a sticker on card board w/ serial number lik MSB022xxxxxxxxxxx where the SB022x is the true model number for your card.
Why you didn't got drivers installed for your card is, because the installer doesn't support the model SB0220 (supported cards are listed in ctcomp.dat -> this is the file ctcomp.exe patches).
IIrc, those drivers are the latest ones for your card. If you like to, you can try soft-mod your card the way, you can use Audigy series drivers (which are a bit newer) -> http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-2.php (i.e. you just use ctcomp.exe utility to patch the installer for Audigy drivers (use these drivers st - http://www.station-drivers.com/telechargement/creative/%20audigy%205.2.0.042.exe) (newer installer maybe can't be patched w/ ctcomp).

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

Printer driver was not installed. operation could not be completed

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1
windows XP system.
Cannot add the Adobe PDF printer get the error message:
Printer driver was not installed. operation could not be completed
Software installs/repair try to install the Adobe PDF printer but they do not. No error message; just that the Adobe PDF printer does not show up
I tried adding the Adobe PDF printer manually.
The drivers start to load and then fails giving the error message in the subject line.
I cleared the print spoolers and rebooted.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat /rebooted/reinstalled. Install says it adds the Adobe PDF printer but nothing happens.
Problem exists for all users including Administrators.
I have renamed the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 and C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\Printers folder.
Both are recreated when I try to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer.
I can add network printers with no errors.
I have cleared Adobe PDF printer from registry. e.g.:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3\Adobe PDF Converter
I even imported Adobe PDF registry entry from a working system taking care to adjust the system values accordingly.
I also verified permissions for registry keys and application/driver folders were set correctly.
I have completely reloaded the installation software and imported the Adobe PDF drivers from a working system.
Not sure if this an Adobe issue, but that appears to be the only printer I cannot re-add.
Any constructive ideas on what to try next would be appreciated.

When I upgraded to Reader 9.4 I lost all ability to print Adobe pdf's. Finally uninstalled 9.4, re-installed 8.2, changed the filename "high quality.joboptions" to "Adobe PDF converter.joboptions" and was back in business. Pretty screwey fix, but after getting no help from online chats with Adobe and a day's lost work I was happy to have it.

This means iTunes can no longer locate the file in the location specified via the Get Info window for each individual track. See the article for assistance.

Since downloading Yosmite on my MAC I have not been able to download photos to LR 5. Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).I have been working with several forums and have dtried going into preference

LR 5 - using it on a MAC-
Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).
I have been working with several forums and have tried all recommendations and none have worked.
I have tried reloading new LR 5 - and it worked for a short time and then stopped.
Very frustrated that I cannot talk with someone at Adobe.
The folks that have made recommendations are great but once their suggestions dont work they drop the link,
Is there someone or someplace I can take my computer to fix this issue.
It seems to be a problem between LR and Yosemite.

The permissions have been changed on the destination folder where the photos are to be copied into.
You must make sure that the permissions are set to Read and Write.
Or perhaps the destination folder has been changed accidentally to something else, and you need to change it back to whatever it used to be.

I get an error message "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (266)..

I get an error message "the following files were not imprted because they could not be read (266) on Lightroom 4 on my desktop.
No problems importing the files onto my laptop. Using a SANDISK card reader and card. What's going on on the desktop?

Leanne, check the write pernissions on the folder/drive you are attempting to import into on your desktop. The message usually means "cannot be written" - a not so clear message.

"Files not imported because they could not be read" from SD card.

Trying to import photos from my disk. Was able to download 2/3 of chosen files. Came back to do the last 3rd, and a message pops up, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." then listed the file names that were not imported. Thought maybe it was the card, or a fluke. New disk today, same issue. Any resolution ideas

Usually, that error message comes up because the files couldn't be written. Yes, I know, it's weird.
Generally, it's because you are trying to write to a folder or a disk that is protected some way. You need permission to write to that folder, and on Windows 7, you need to have ownership of that disk and folder--running as an administrator isn't enough.
What operating system are you running, and what version on Lightroom?

Files not imported because they could not be read. L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos

Files not imported because they could not be read. L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos and video visible when card inserted but not able to import. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".
