Cannot Sync Trivia Pursuit APP.

I Have an "Ipod Nano, (1st Gen)," and "Itouch 16GB." After purchasing and downloadinf Trivia Pursuit from Itunes I cannot sync the application to either device. I originally wanted the app strickly for the Itouch but found to my dismay it apparently won't run on that device. However, indications are that it is suppose to load and run on my Nano. The app has an "IPG" extension.

If you are referring to the game Trivial Pursuit (which is not an app), then it only runs on the 3rd/4th gen nanos, the 5th gen iPod and the iPod classic. It states this at the top of the games page, and I guess you are referring to a game since it has the extension "ipg" (iPod game).
It won't run on any other iPod or on a computer.
Apps only run on the iPod Touch and I cannot see a Trivial Pursuit app in the iTunes store (at least, not in the UK store).

Cannot sync iPhone as apps were deleted when it was connected to iTunes. Now cannot upload music. What should I do?

My iPhone was connected to my computer and to itunes. I deleted apps from my iPhone directly, when it was connected. Now I am unable to sync my iPhone.
When I try and sync, it goes through the process then a message appears:
" iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined."
On the 'apps' tab in iTunes, a list of 13 apps appears, when I now only have 6 on my phone.
This is stopping the iPhone syncing fully, and I want to upload all my music to the phone.
Does anybody have any idea what I could do? I am reluctant to add all the apps again as soem I have to pay for, and one, Post Secret is no longer available.
Thankyou!

I think we may have an answer here as these 2 threads seem related to our problems. Unfortunately it's not an answer that's welcome.

ITunes cannot sync... apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined.

I am trying to activate an original iPhone. I keep running into issues (partially because the rest of the world is activating 4Gs phones). I would appreciate any help that is available.
I am working on a MacBook running OSX 10.5.8. My iTunes has been updated- 10.5.
I am currently getting a message- iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone “MRL iphone” because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined. The iphone screen shows the usb cord/plug pointing to the itunes logo whether attached to a computer or not. And says slide for emergency use.
-I have restored to factory settings several times both from a previous backup and set up as new phone.
-I have even attempted to use another Mac and a family member's windows machine with similar results on all.
-I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
-I have put the phone into the recovery mode and restored from there
-I have restarted both the computer and phone numerous times
-I have replace the SIM card with a new card from the provider
-I have received an email saying the phone was activated (and have called to verify with the service provider)
I'm sure there are other things I have tried as well that I am forgetting, as I have been at this now for about 3days. There have been times when I got nothing but a breif "accessing iTunes store" and then a white screen with the grey word iPhone in the middle. At least now I have the normal summary screen when clicking on the device. Unfortunately I am still getting an error "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone “MRL iphone” because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined." I am not attempting to sync apps, just sync the phone to get a current/clean backup. I will want to sync the apps, just haven't been able to get that far.
By the way, prior to starting this process the iphone worked perfectly- no issues. This just seems to have become an issue when I attempted to restore to factory settings for a clean start with the new line.
This is the furthest I have been able to get in the process. I really need to get this up and running soon as I will need the phone for the work week.
Please help!

Not sure if this is a solution or not but it seemed to work for me. Simply restart your iphone.
From the iphone troubleshooting page
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Cannot Sync third party apps with DTM 6.0

I just downloaded and installed DTM v6.0 and cannot find the area in which to set up third party (Add-ON) software for synchronization. Did they forget about this? Please help. Thanks

Ahhh...OK...that makes more sense now. From your first post, it seemed like you wanted to sync the actual app (as in, for instance, backup the actual app and then restore it after an OS reload...as opposed to reinstalling the app after an OS reload). But, now I see that it is the App data that you wish to sync.
To be 100% clear -- is this a sync function, similar to how the desktop software synchs with your PIM (e.g., Outlook) for organizer data? Or is this a backup function, where the data is backed up for use in a subsequent restore?
Thanks!

I cannot sync all buyed apps from my Ipad

I have bought several apps through the app store on my Ipad 2. Itunes on my laptop (W7) does not 'see' them and so I cannot synchronize them. My greatest concern is the backup in whatever way from my apps.
I am a beginner user with the Ipad, but a lot of experience with windows.
Thanks for thinking with me.

Cannot sync any downloaded apps!

Please help!
When in iTunes and 'looking' at my iPod's Applications page, the screens I see are all slightly faded out, as well as all check boxes. I cannot select anything on that page, however all the other pages are fine!
This happened since downloading a free application called "Mazefinger Plus". I have checked all the settings on the iPod, and the restrictions are fine. The iPod is up to date and the apps already on the iPod work just fine (I should add that the "Mazefinger Plus" application shows on my iPod's Applications page on iTunes, yet is not on the iPod.
I have resynced and resynced, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
Then see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Cannot sync Dictionary/Thesaurus app from iTunes

My iPad said I had to sync this app (free) from computer as over 20MB. ITues show the icon in my app section but the little icon on iPad keeps disappearing. I have tried downloading it twic now.

Did you download the app iTunes on your computer successfully? Why would you have to download it again? If you see the app in your iTunes library on your computer, the app should be there and not need to be downloaded again.
If the app is in the iTunes library on your computer, you have to select the app to sync. In the Apps tab in iTunes, select the app by clicking in the box next to the name of the app and then sync. In order for it to sync to the iPad you may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner in iTunes.

ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined

There are dozens of reports on this bug on the forums, and not one of the suggestions worked for me. After reading slocks post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/17157627#17157627, I noticed that iTunes did indeed back up different apps each time I quit, restarted, and re-attempted sync, and that it always failed on the same one (USA Today in my case). I deleted USA Today from my phone, quit and restarted iTunes, and synced again. iTunes reinstalledUSA Today for some reason, but the sync completed then successfully, and all subsequent syncs also complete successfully. I then noticed that the App Store was promptimg me to update USA Today, which I did fully expecting that the update would cause the problem to recurr, but it did not. So it appears a corrupt app is causing this problem, and deleting the app from your phone may resolve it.
If you are getting this error, my suggestion is to watch during the sync, and note which application is being copied when the sync fails. Delete that app from your iPhone, and try to sync again. Please post the results here. Thanks!

For me app wasn't the problem, the problem was the app needed updating. I updated all in my iPhone, but that wasn't doing it. I followed what someone else did and updated my apps "in iTunes" and it was perfect!

Confirmed!
I was getting the same error message. After reading your post, I updated all my apps in iTunes. Sync worked as normal after that. Now we'll have to see if this happens again when other apps are updated.

Hello...
Would there be anyone here on this forum - possibly from Nokia - who could provide some help ?
BTW, when the synchyronization of thre calendar fails (ie sync range larger than 1 week), as I explained before the PC Sync window simply disappears while the N95 remains in syncing mode. If starting back PC Sync, the last message in the log is "the mobile phone has not responded".
This looks like a very common message, as I read from other posts, but I haven't seen one single solution for this.

I cannot sync apps from Iphone to Itunes. Itunes says apps cannot be determined.

I have tried syncing my apps many times already and this first time Itunes says that apps cannot be determined. Has anybody else gotten this error messege on Itunes? If so how did you solve the problem withouth having to restore the iphone to factory setting?

See these previous discusssions:

not determined

My iphone will not sync to my itunes library. Everytime I try it says that it can't sync because the apps installed cannot be determined. I don't care about the apps I just want my music! Help!

When I try to sync my iphone to my itunes it starts going through the steps and then just stops. A little ! shows up beside my iphone under the devices tab in my itunes, when I click on this it the says that 'Itunes cannot sync apps to the Iphone because the apps cannot be determined'

If all you want right now is your music, you can turn off the option to sync apps, that should help.
With your iPhone plugged in, open iTunes, and go to the page with details about your phone (on the left side of iTunes, it should be under the Devices header). When you are there, go to the top, click on the "Apps" tab (next to "Info"), then uncheck the box that says sync apps.

I am trying to sync my iphone 4. Get error :"itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined"

I wanted to sync my iphone 4 (cdma). I have synced it before successfully. I am getting an error "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" and the apps and items follwoing apps in syncing (photos for example) will not sync. Items prior to apps synced (calendar/contacts). I restarted both my iphone (currently on ios 4.2.8) and my computer, itunes was on 10.6.1, same problem. I installed itunes 10.6.3, same problem. I had been waiting to update ios to 5.1.1 and would like to do that now, but wanted to sync first. Anyone have any ideas? I am stumped! Thank you.

ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined error message

I've been getting the "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined" error message for a while. I have tried restoring my iPod but as soon as I try to sync it again (even with nothing changing in iTunes or on the iPod) I get the same error message. Whenever I want to add music to my iPod I have to delete everything and then wait hours for it to restore which is ridiculous. Anyone have any other suggestions for fixing this problem?
I'm using a 3rd generation iPod touch with 4.2.1 software and iTunes 10.5.3.3

The fact that there is so many discussions with no clear answer is the problem.
I went back and looked through all the different suggestions and and tried them all to make sure I didn't miss anything. What finally worked for me was making sure all apps were updated on the iPod and making sure all apps were updates in iTunes (under the Library>Apps tab NOT under devices) and then syncing.

The software on iphone has expired + Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined + Can't restore = Help!

Hello guys, I'm begging for your help, I've read so many threads, nothing works for me. I hope you will try to help me
First message I get when I connect the iphone is
"The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version"
Then it tries to backup but I get
"Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"
When I click check for updates it says I have the latest version (5.0)
When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again"
Tried that MANY times but no luck.
This iphone was on a developper account but it is not anymore (removed from developper account).
I'm the administrator on my PC. When I'm on the summary of my iphone it shows N/A as my phone number.
Back up to icloud doesn't work because I didn't set it up before it stopped working
When I try to activate it directly from the iphone I always get "Could not activate iphone. Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarely unavailable..." (for the past 3 weeks :s)
I can access my music and everything from itunes.
I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work.
I also tried device manager, select PC, scan hardware for changes (read it worked for some) but not for me after that I don't get the
"The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version" and "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined" ...I just get "Itunes could not back up iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone" + "itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established with the iphone"
Please help me make it work again! I'd go to an apple store but I'm in south-east asia at the moment and there is nothing like it in 700km +
This little machine would be perfect to travel with, it's a shame it just stopped working like 3 weeks ago, just said I needed to activate it again ...
Thanks a million times!

I can't access it on the iphone as I said
On itunes in summary I have "Software version: 5.0"
Yes I tried to restore it
"When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again" ...did that many times but always the same error message
"I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work."
