Can not sync my 3GS.  Get error message:  this iphone can not be synced.  The required file is missing,  What file?

If you're on a mac, close iPhoto if it is open. In Finder open Pictures and right-click on iPhoto Library. Select Show Package Contents. Right-click the iPod Photo Cache folder, select Move to Trash. Now sync and the "this iphone can not be synced.  The required file is missing" error should be fixed.

  • TS1538 iPod can not be synced the required  file can not be found

    ipod canot be synced the required file cannot be found

    Hi folks. Am REALLY struggling here and hoping for some help. I too am constantly getting the 'iPhone can not be synced' message since upgrading to a new MacBook and trying to sync my iPhone 3GS. Have tried updating to latest iPhone software and hasn't helped. Have tried all the stuff mentioned above (dumping that file etc) and no luck. When I go to my sync page for photos, even if i un-tick the sync photos option altogether, this error keeps appearing. Very odd and very frustrating. Can't sync - seems to stall at last step of the process every time.
    I'm guessing it is photo related as the pics on my iPhone are now all lowres and blurry, and it is asking for sync to iTunes to get high res images onto the phone.
    Also have problem going the 'other way'! WHen I go to iPhoto on Mac and try to download new photos taken on iPhone.. I keep getting the message 'The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognized format."
    help please
    Nick

    Did you turn off all Windows & other pc-related firewalls, virus and "real-time scanning"?  If necessary, d/l all software you need to the desktop and disconnect to prevent any visitors, if you are Level 6 you know all that.  But I've found all the problems w/pcs & iphones/itunes have been related to defender, mcafee, etc.  And your error message was one I used to get, the other was something about not being authorized even though I was signed in as administrator.  Hope that helps, it worked for me.
    Thanks for your input.
    iTunes has to contact Apple during the sync process, but iTunes can only sync the phone, if you can launch iTunes, which seems not to be the case, as "...the required software is not installed.."
    And, even if I have reached level 6, please remember, that not everybody is used to phrases like "d/l" or "w/pcs", especially if your post can have more than 160 letters

  • 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..

    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 is the issue, had this phone 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!

  • HT1937 Hi few days ago I bought a second hand iphone 5 white 64 gb, and when I try to activate it I see the following message: "This iPhone can not be activated for service.please contact your carrier or AppleCare"

    Hi few days ago I bought a second hand iphone 5 white 64 gb, and when I try to activate it I see the following message: "This iPhone can not be activated for service.please contact your carrier or AppleCare"

    So then do what it says...contact Apple or your wireless carrier.
    However your phone is probably locked to another carrier and cannot be used on yours.

  • Error message: this computer is not supported by the system recovery media.

    I replaced a bad samasung hard drive in my Pavilion dv6z 3200 with a Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 32 MB Cache 2.5 Inch Solid State Hybrid Drive ST750LX003 and when trying to restore Windows 7 64 bit OS get the error message "this computer is not supported by the system recovery media"

    Is the new hdd at least as large a capacity as the original? Can be larger capacity, but sometimes smaller will cause error.
    Enter BIOS by tapping F10 key. Is all system info intact/complete?

  • ITunes can not run because some required files are missing.

    I got a message that said something like "iTunes can not run because some required files are missing. reinstall itunes." I tried to reinstall iTunes but I kept getting that message. So, i uninstalled it, and tried to install it again. this did not work. I think that Quicktime is actually what is broken, because iTunes installs fine, but the Quicktime installation failed. When the installation failed, i got a message that said, "Installation failed: error code: -3"
    I then tried installing Quicktime with the standalone installer. The installation got further, but it then failed as well, giving the error code -1603.
    What can I do to get this reinstalled, and if you can't answer that, how can I contact Apple from Iraq? Thank you.

    hmmm...that happened to me at one point to, and I'm trying to think back, I believe I was able to uninstall it by using the standalone installer.....
    Try these steps and see if anything helps, and then in the troubleshooting section, look up the specific error number you are receiving...

  • Ipod can not be synced the required disc cannot be found

    Can anyone tell me how to solve the error:
    "ipod can not be synced the required disc can not be found.
    I found a similiar post, but then lost it when my computer froze up
    and now I can't locate it.
    Thanks

    Oh my God! I'm having the exact problem with my new 30G iPod with video, which I got as a replacement with my warranteed iPod. It resets itself when I sync, or even when I restore the iPod. I was on the phone for two hours with multiple Apple technicians, who couldn't figure out what's wrong and asked me to send it for repair. You know what? They couldn't find anything wrong with it, so they sent it back. Not surprisingly, it still doesn't work. To be sure that it's not my system that's causing this problem, I tried syncing on two computers, two operating systems (WINDOW XP and OS X), and two USB cables. So I'm definitely sure it's not my system, which leads me to think I also got a LEMON! Now I am on the phone yet again, actually am being put on hold for the millionth time. I wonder if michlexi, or anyone with the same problem, was able to find resolution??

  • Get Error Message "itunes cannot run because some of its required files ...

    complete message that i see in a pop-up window -- "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
    I check windows update. Microsoft says I'm up to date. When I reinstall ipod off the CD and/or itunes/quicktime from iTunesSetup.exe file version 7.0.2.16 it installs ok. If I choose unintall then reinstall or if I repair the itunes software the install program says everything is fine.
    However when I connect to Ipod. The ipod window comes up in itunes and then shuts down real fast. Itunes continues to work but i can't see the ipod.
    The showstopper happens when i shut down itunes after the attempt to connect the ipod. When I restart itunes i get the message -- "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
    Reinstall **** resumes.
    What files are missing?
    It would be nice if the interface offered more details. Or I could go online to a self diagnostic and repair web page like Microsoft offers.
    Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler. -- Einstien..
    I think things are too simple...
    What are my options?
    Help Please.

    "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
    Just uninstall and reinstall. If you get some kind of error in the uninstall process, then if it were me, I'd use windows system restore to restore your system right before the original install of iTunes. Even if you don't get the error when you uninstall, it sounds to me like it hasn't been installed properly. So if you decide to go with system restore and the same thing happens, I would download a fresh copy of iTunes installer from their website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Make sure you download the one for Windows.
    "I check windows update. Microsoft says I'm up to date."
    This is because that you are. Microsoft has nothing to do with iTunes updates.
