Because some other library or app which depends on the same app cant be upgraded.

You need to upgrade the dependencies as well.

Post your source list

The error message is telling you that whatever version you're trying to install depends on a newer "library" than what is found in 8.04.

sudo apt-get install lmms

will give you the correct version of lmms for your Ubuntu release.

Understand that all of the applications in Hardy Heron 8.04 are over a year old.

You might try enabling the backports repository; I believe that will give you qt 4.4.
