Some of the apps in your itunes library were not installed on the iphone because they are not compatible with this iphone

I've just spent 2 hours before work last night, and another 3 since getting back, trying to figure out why iPhone 3G syncs kept dropping my Skype and Shazam apps.
Performed 3 full time-consuming restores.
Then every other bit of online advice I could find.
Clicking "reset warnings" finally revealed this ( image included )
I had always trusted iTunes to know *** phone I had . . but I guess not.
Then a chat with a Skype agent reveals they don't support older versions . .  or my 3G phone without iSO.4 !
Are ALL companies so out of touch with those struggling in the economic realities since 2008 ?!
Apple, Skype, etc . . . . "Hey Gang !, don't forget to update every blessed time we innovate relentlessly !!  Buy, buy, buy !!  . .  or ----- BYE !

To answer that question you would have to ask those companies.
To get around the issue, you could always install the older versions of those apps that do support iOS4, if you still have them or can find them.

  • The shared library is not compatible with this version of itunes

    I have a G3 running Jaguar (and iTunes 6) that hosts my MP3 collection. Until recently, this worked great as a shared library, happily showing up in iTunes on other machines on my network, including my Powerbook.
    Then I got iTunes 8 on my MacBook Pro.
    Now, when I try to access it from my MBP with Leopard, I get the message "the shared library Nick's Music is not compatible with this version of itunes".
    Can I somehow run an older version of iTunes as well as v 8.0 on Leopard?
    Is there another program that can access that library and run on Leopard?
    Any other solutions?

    I solved it myself...What I did was to backup the old library, run iTunes 6 to create a new library, move that new library, edit iTunes 6 preferences to use the library in it's new location, then restore the iTunes 8 library to it's original position.

  • Some of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because they cannot be played on this phone

    I have been getting this error message even though I know that the videos I am trying to sync to my iPhone is in the right format, mp4. I have about 4 GB in videos and all of them are in this format but the new videos I am trying to sync to the phone (about 11 of them) in the same format cannot be copied over.
    Any clue?
    I am using iPhone 4 on the latest iTunes version on a Windows 7 PC

    I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

  • "Some of the applications in your iTunes library were not installed..."

    "...because one or more errors occurred."
    I've been getting this message for a couple of weeks now. Basically iPhone is unable to update any new versions of ANY applications downloaded to iTunes. I was hoping that 2.1 would fix this but looks like it hasn't, much to my disappointment. This is an infuriating bug. Is there anything that can be done about it? Really not happy about this.

    I think I may have found a real solution (NOT a workaround) that both fixes the problem AND preserves specific app data, though I can't take credit for it (that belong to an Apple Store "Genius" somewhere in the US of A). It first appeared in another related thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1685284
    It goes like this:
    "+1. Upgrade to iTunes 8 and iPhone 2.1+
    +2. Sync iPhone so you have a backup (I make a zip of my backup directory and save it off just in case - see http://tech.kateva.org/2008/08/iphone-backups-are-stored-in.html for details)+
    +3. Restore iPhone to original state using the restore button on the info tab. This wipes the phone.+
    +4. When the phone mounts iTunes will ask if you want to treat it as a new phone, or restore from backup.+
    (An addendum: I've done a couple of restores in the past - for unrelated reasons - and have come across the "Locked SIM" and "Emergencies Only" problem after the restore. This appears to be a problem with the reset phone suddenly not recognising the SIM. I don't know if this is a widespread issue, but it certainly seems to be the case for Vodafone SIMs, but I do know that the fix is to simply remove the SIM - while the phone is on - and replace it. I might add that this is Vodefone's universal fix for all SIM-related problems.)
    +5. Restore from backup. This doesn't restore everything -- but don't worry.+
    +6. Sync (this will take a while if there's music involved).+
    +When all is done everything should be in place. In the past the restores still left me with a lot of cleanup, but this time I only had to arrange a few icons. My passwords were restored.+
    +Now, why do I think this will solve the problem?+
    +When I did this iTunes said I had no updates. The App Store on the iPhone said I had 4 updates. I actually used the App Store to apply the updates -- a process that has NEVER worked in the past and has been trouble for many people. This time it smoothly applied the updates, and when it was done it said there were no more left."+
    I've now had an opportunity to test this and can report success - phone now updates apps from either App Store or iTunes correctly - all the updates sitting in App Store were applied smoothly - and there's no data loss.
    Some caveats:
    1. DON'T attempt this first thing on a workday morning (like I did) - the process can take a long time.
    2. Switch to "Airline" mode - a call right in the middle of the process will terminate it and you'll have to start over.
    3. I run a Mac system, so I don't know if the fix works for Windows or other OS users. Reports back from Mac OS people are running at 100% fixed so far.
    4. It appears to be the combination of the latest phone OS (2.1) and iTunes 8 that lays the foundation for this fix. Make sure you've got both installed BEFORE you start this process.
    Please report back on success or otherwise.

  • When trying to sync Playbook with laptop get "Your Blackberry device is not compatible with this feature"

    Just picked up a Playbook and am using Blackberry Bridge with my Torch 9810.  Bridge works great but having issues with syncing my Playbook with my laptop through a USB connection.
    Desktop Software recognizes the Playbook just fine and I can do backups but no joy with syncs.
    Playbook also doesn't show up as a drive on my laptop, but the Torch does show up.
    Did a search of the forum and tried some of the recommend fixes (wireless off, bridge off, TCP/IP start).  I get the popup that Windows is installing new hardware but no drive.
    Did I missing a solution listed in the Forum?

  • HT5457 Upgraded iphone 4 to IOS 6.1 Can not restore apps. "Some of the applications in your iTunes library were not installed because one or more errors occurred" error message

    I made the mistake of upgrading my iPhone 4, a seemingly innocuous task if you follow the Apple commercials' rhetoric.
    Now I can not restore any of my apps and before I go to far, I am wondering if I wil be able to restore my purchased apps?
    Is there an easy fix, before I waste hours on the phone with Apple tech support?
    Why is it becoming so complicated to run a telephone?
    Thanks

  • Some of the items in your iTunes library were not copied to your ipod

    It's a gen.5 ipod with video and works fine with almost everything. Sometimes I get the above message.

    I've de/re-authorised the mac, but no joy.
    Ideas?

  • Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipad because they could not be found

    Hi All, problem with my ipad mini. When trying to copy music over I get the following "some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipad because they could not be found". I reset the ipad, as new, not a backup copy, and managed to rectify the problem, right until I downloaded IOS 6.1.3, now the problem is back and the previous solution does not work. The songs can be easily transferred to my ipad and iphone, so they are no problems with the itunes library.

    The issue is in iTunes, not the iPad.
    In the itunes music library go to the songs that you miss, rightclick and choose "show in Finder", that results in "not found" and you have the option to locate (and "connect" them), if they are gone from your computer, you will have to restore them from a backup or TM.

  • 'Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied..." Errors

    I keep receiving the following errors when syncing content between my MacBook Pro and my Apple TV:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the Apple TV because they could not be found."
    The items the error refers to are no longer on my MacBook Pro because I have deleted them. How can I get Apple TV to overlook, or bypass, the already deleted Podcasts?
    Thank you.

    Ok, this is what seems to have happened. I deleted three podcasts without listening to them. The ATV didn't, however, delete them. I found this out when I redownloaded the podcasts that were causing me difficulty, and noticed that there were now two of each on the ATV.
    Here's what I did. I completely deleted my small library of podcasts; removed the files from the iTunes library when prompted to do so. I resynced my library. All podcasts were gone ... except the three that were causing the problem. I resynced. This time the main titles for the podcasts were there, but the files "could not be read"; finally, I resynced, went away for 30 or some minutes, and voila, no more podcasts.
    I will try to reload my podcast regulars later on.
    1. Delete all podcasts from iTunes
    2. Remove files when prompted to do so
    3. Resync Apple TV
    4. Walk away; go outside; enjoy the fresh air.
    5. Check your Apple TV
    6. If all is well, reload your podcasts; if not, try another resync.
    Hope it works for 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!!

  • Some items in the iTunes library were not copied because they could not be converted error

    When I try to sync my iPhone with my Windows version of iTunes I get the error "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because one or more errors occurred."
    The error for all 3 of the songs is: "iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    The 3 songs are all songs that I have purchased from iTunes recently. One of them is just one song of an album that I purchased. If I go to my iPhone and download the songs from my purchased music section, they will download and play just fine. However, every time I sync the iPhone and iTunes I get the same error.
    I am using iTunes10.6.3.25. I am running 6.0 iOS on the phone.
    Thanks!

    I stumbled across this thread for the same issue.  I had 12 songs  that suddenly wouldn't sync from iTunes on my iMac to my iPhone 4. 
    I use iTunes Match and the missing songs were both purchased from iTunes and matched from CD's I had ripped.
    Per Winnits I also ended up deleting them and downloading them to resolve the issue.
    I took a screenshot of the error window ("Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone "My Name iPhone" because one or more errors occurred.") showing a list of the songs.  Then I disconnected my iPhone.
    I then deleted each song (but NOT from iCloud) and sent the files to the trash.  The iCloud download icon immediately appeared and I clicked on it to download the song again.  A few of the song titles were the same, either from different artists or a couple of live and studio versions.  I deleted each one since you can't tell the specifics from the error message.
    Then I reconnected my iPhone, let it sync and everything was fine, no more error message.  I've no idea what the issue was…perhaps a corrupt file, who knows?  I'm just glad it wasn't more than the dozen I ran into.
    Hope that helps anyone that follows!

  • Error Syncing: Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied

    for the avoidance of doubt, these files could not physically be on an external disk which isn't connected ? or could you have deleted the actual files from the iTunes music folder via explorer ?
    what about the main iTunes music library ? do the files have a "!" next to them ? do you get a +*would you like to locate+* warning when you try to play them in iTunes ?

  • One of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod

    i have been trying to figure what the problem with my ipod touch is, im downloading songs from a different source and not itunes store, recently i have had a msg being displayed at the end of synching 'some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod'. however the songs play fine in itunes.
    i have re-installed itunes several times, deleted all my music and iported it again. retored my ipod and still i have the same msg. its only stating 8 songs so far that cannot be copied onto my ipod. please can someone help as ive tried everything that i can possibly do. thanks.

    Hello mobyash,
    Have you tried converting each of these 8 tracks to a different file format and seeing if they will then sync to your iPod.  See this Apple support document for information and instructions on how to convert a song to a different format.
