TS1410 Error message: This game cannot be launched. This may be the result of a full iPod.

My iPod suddenly gave me the above error message even though it is an 80GB system and I have used only 20GB of space at the most. Now, my iPod is not being recogonized on my computer nor iTunes. In addition, I can't get this error message to clear off and my music will not play. Any suggestions on how to correct this issue?

"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.

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.

Error Message "This iPhone cannot be used because..."

I am trying to use my iPhone with a new laptop. I installed iTunes most recent version and it works fine.
When I plug my iPhone in, I get an error message: "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."
I have been using my iPhone (and various iPods and iTouches). I have never had a problem plugging them in and POOF, they show up in iTunes. None of them will show up in iTunes in my new computer.
What am I doing wrong?

Is this any good:

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later. You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back. My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
You may have Numbers '09 installed. Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save. Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

Get error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading" even when attaching 1 file

I attached multiples .pdf files to an email. Tried to attach the next file before the previous 1 finished attaching. Got error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading". Was never able to attach that 1 file to the email that I received the error message for; was able to attach subsequent files to that same email & send it. Now, I often get the same error message, even if I only attach 1 file & esp. when attaching .ai or .jpeg files. What can I do to fix this problem?

It looks like nobody has an answer for this despite of the 80 something views!
And here i thought Adobe admin would be monitoring the forum, but surprisingly, they don't even have the answer for this!!!

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!
