  • "This game cannot be played" message??

    I have a 5th Gen ipod and I bought 2 games about 6-10 moths ago. I went to play one yesterday and the ipod gave me the message "this game cannot be played" and tells me to connect the ipod to itunes and reinstall the games. How do you reinstall the games and more so, why is it giving me this message? have some things changed within itunes via a new update or something that won't allow game to be played? help please - thanks!

    First, what kind of iPod you got because games only work for certain iPods. I know they work for iPod Video. Don't know about the others. Also, the only way you can play them is on an iPod so if they're incompatible with your iPod, then you've just wasted like $30 on games you have no use for.

  • 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.

  • Game cannot be played

    I have Royal Solitare listed on my Ipod & in my library. When I try to select it, I am getting "game cannot be played. Go to iTunes and reinstall." How do I do this?

    Hey there,
    One or more files with the game may have become corrupt over time or through the transfer process.
    Hook your iPod up to your computer and remove the game from it altogether and then resync it back to the iPod again and see if that helps. You will have to do this under the games Tab once again to remove it and add it back. Give it a
    shot. Hope this helps.

  • Possible Fix for Frequent "This game cannot be played" Errors

    I was seeing the error, "This game cannot be played," almost every time I tried to start a game on my 30GB iPod. The game would always eventually start fine on the second or third try, though.
    I was just living with the error and figured it was a bug Apple would eventually work out. Then it occured to me one day that I'd neglected the fact that the iPod is, in part, a glorified hard disk. Maybe it needed some TLC.
    So, I used DiskWarrior 4 to rebuild/repair it and the error has not appeared once since. It's been about four or five days.
    Just thought others out there might have been having the same problem...

    I also had this problem, and since I don't want to shell out $100 for DiskWarrior nor do I wish to do a restore (I manually manage my songs, photos, videos, etc.), I found that resyncing the games from within iTunes (on a Mac) is viable as well.
    1. Select your iPod to bring up the overview/management window.
    2. Select the games tab.
    3. Enable the "Sync games" checkbox.
    4. Select "Sync [Your iPod]" from the "File" menu OR right click on your iPod in the iTunes Devices list and select "Sync."

  • Texas Hold 'em...This game cannot be played?

    I have an early 2006 30GB Ipod with video and it won't let me play Texas Hold 'em. It says that i cannot play the game and I need to reinstall the game. How do I reinstall the game so I can play it?

    I have the same problem with poker, and also with tetris, and pacman!
    Have contacted apple, then re-sent me the games to download and still no luck, have restored the ipod several times just to make sure that its clean and that the games will re-install.
    Cant get anything to work.
    In a way I am glad that someone else has this problem, maybe apple will send out a fix quicker now.

  • This game cannot be played?????

    That is the statement my iPod gives me when I try to play any of the three games I've purchased. I used to play them all, until I downloaded the new 1.2.1 version onto my iPod. Now it's telling me to reinstall the games, but I have sync'd them 5 times now to no avail. Can anyone help me? Am I doing something wrong?

    I've figured it out myself, after e-mailing Apple for no help. You have to 'unsync' the games to remove them from the iPod, and then 'sync' them to put them back in. Then the games will work.

  • "This game cannot be played" Texas Hold'Em

    I have found a lot of questions on this - but no responses.
    I've even tried deleting it and re-purchasing it, which also gave the same error.
    I've played this before on my iPod, but I think one of the newer games has corrupted something.
    I have a model MA146ZP (ipod video 30Gb) version 1.3.
    Has anyone found a solution to this ?

    I found the solution - for all iPods (I had it working before and it stopped working).
    Navigate via Explorer on your PC and find the directory which has it in (I looked for music files which were in the game - you can also look for the instructions image file).
    Delete the root folder for the game and install again.
    Not sure why it broke - but this fixes it (but you lose any saved games...)

  • Why the swf file cannot be played by itself?

    Hi,
    After I run the source code, I opened the bin folder and
    locate the swf file that has been packaged. I double click it but
    the program will not run. But if I double click the html file that
    embed the swf file, the program will run.
    Am I doing anything wrong?

    Thanks for your help. However the code is too big to show
    here and I am not sure the client would allow me to do it. I am
    trying to think to shorten it, but it's hard to find where to start
    since I don;t know what actially could cause the problem. I thought
    about using external xml data is the reason. I then tested one app
    with external xml and one without. Both of the two swf can rrun
    standalone.
    So what is the general guideline? Thanks again.

  • HT1353 why are card games that are free on my phone not free for my mac

    I am wondering why the card games that I play for free on my iPhone and iPad (and PC as well) are not free for my Mac through iTunes?  It makes no sense.  I have a new 13" apple macbook pro laptop running yosemite.  

    iTunes does not sell anything for your Mac.
    You would have to buy apps from the Mac Apps store for your Mac.
    They may differ in price, because they are not the same thing.  One is an iOS app, then  other is a computer app.
    The maker of the app can choose what to charge for and what not to charge for.  It could be that one contains ads and the other does not.
    At the end of the day, then maker of the apps decides what to charge or if to charge.

  • Why after downloading Shockwave Player and installing, a box showed close which was clicked on but I still cannot play game?

    Why after downloading Shockwave Player and installing does a box showing close which was clicked on but I still cannot play the game?

    Adobe make many different things. In this forum we know about Adobe Reader (now called Acrobat Reader for about a week, it's a struggle to keep up sometimes). But you mention Adobe Shockwave Player. The forum for Shockwave Player is here -- Adobe Shockwave Player . Also be sure you aren't mixing it up with Flash Player, still a third product.

  • Why after buying apps does it tell me " cannot download  game until I sign-in to itunes on my computer

    Why after buying apps does it tell me "Cannot download game until you sign-in to itunes on ur computer?

    How large are the apps and are you trying to download them over 3G or wifi ? There is a 20 meg download limit per file over 3G, if the app is larger that that you either need to connect to a wifi network on your iPad in order to download it on it, or download it on your computer and then sync it to the iPad.

  • Why can't play are download games it keeps asking to update to flash adobe? What does that mean?

    I want to know why can't I play are download games and it keeps asking to update n download flash adobe

    If you do not have Flash Player installed, you have to download and install Flash Player
    to play those games.
    If you have an older version of Flash Player installed, you have to update it.
    1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced >  Delete  All
         Press the "Delete All" button
         Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
        Quit Safari.
        Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
    2.  Enable Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
