When i connect my ipod shuffle to itunes i get an error message the ipod cannot be synced, the required disk cannot be found anyone have this happen? How do i get past it?

I seem to recall that this may be cause by overloading the USB bus (lack of power to go around). Shut down your computer. Reset the iPod shuffle using this procedure.

Disconnect ALL peripheral USB devices, including keyboard and mouse. Power up the computer. If you need your mouse, connect it and launch iTunes. Connect the iPod shuffle to a direct USB port and try the sync again. See if there is any difference.

Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

Count me in! This error message makes no sense. What disk are they talking about?

With those symptoms, it's probably worth checking on the digital signing issues discussed in the following document:

(Your "required disk" message is also a possible symptom, even though you're not getting a -50.)

Cannot be synced the required disc cannot be found

ok so i read through 10 pages of threads to see if someone else has the same problem before posting, i had itunes installed before i had an ipod as i used it for work, i have about seven hundred songs in my library, although most of them are in another folder for work, when i got a 1G nano for xmas i tried to sync it, so because there were so many songs it took a selection and made a playlist that i cant remember what it was called, all the songsi wanted in my ipod were not there, my sister deleted the playlist saying all i needed to do was tick the boxes i wanted in the ipod, so i unticed the 700 songs and only kept the ones i wanted, but when i tried to sync it, it cleared the ipod and gave me the message, the ipod my ipod cannot be synced the required disk cannot be found, i put in the set up disc but that never did anything, i pressed on sync and it came up "playlist no longer exists, so is it because my sister deleted the playlist that they set up, is it a smart one? if so how do i get it back and then how do i get the songs i want on my ipod, i have spent all day trying to uninstal and instal etc, sorry it's long but i dont know what to do! please help

Hi jonathanisonline,
This error message seems to have its root in digtal signing issues for PCs. Try the Solution recommended in this article, and see if you have any sort of success with that error you are having:

Also, the general advice from here might be worth a try, as well:

That error is usually resolved by deleting your iPod Photo Cache folder. See the following for its location:

IPhone cannot be synced The required file cannot be found

could you help my iphone cannot syncing it showing a message "The iphone .......... cannot be synced, The required file cannot be found". I trying to reinstall a itune, update my iphone it still showing a message.

Hey Rawins,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines the error message you are receiving and steps to a potential resolution:
iTunes: Unable to sync photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697
- This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
If you encounter any of the above issues or another issue while syncing photos, try the following:
1. Ensure that you are syncing the device with the computer with which you normally sync photos.
2. Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off Photo syncing.
3. Sync your device.
Important: This will remove all synced photos from your device.
4. Disconnect your device and update to the latest version of iTunes.
5. Remove your iPod photo cache.
6. Connect your device to iTunes.
7. Select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn on Photo syncing.
8. Sync your device.
If you still see an alert that there is not enough space to sync your entire photo library, selectively add photo albums until the device is full.
Thanks,
Matt M.

During itunes sync i get an error message "iphone cannot be synced. the required file cannot be found." Why is this happening?

During itunes sync i get an error message "iphone cannot be synced. the required file cannot be found." Why is this happening?

Close "iPhoto" if it is open. Open the "Pictures" folder and right-click on "iPhoto Library." Select "Show Package Contents." Right-click the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, select "Move to Trash" and sync your iPhone. The error message should no longer appear.
if that doesn't work,
uninstall itunes and download the lastest version

Syncing: "the required disk cannot be found".

Trying to sync my daughters Ipod touch 4th gen and it goes thru all the motions and then says "the required disk cannot be found". The Ipod is connected up and charging and has synced before so why not now?? Pls Help!!!!
I can see the ipod on my Computer. I am using itunes 10 and windows vista.

Are you also syncing photos? If yes, try to delete the photo cache, explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

IPod nano sync problem "Cannot be synced,the required disc cannot be found"

I keep getting this error message when I try to sync music on my nano. It happened before so I took my nano to a Mac store where they "restored" (erased), it. Then I had to remove all iTunes files from my pc and re-install, which I did. I was able to sync one time right after that, but now that I uploaded more music I suddenly can't sync anymore. I have removed and reinstalled iTunes once again, but no success. I'm also not able to "restore ipod" from my pc, it just gets stuck in the process. On one attempt to sync I got an additional error message saying "iPod needs to be formatted for Windows, would you like to format/restore now?" I didn't try it, now I can't get that message to pop-up anymore. I've never used my iPod with anything but my pc, so not sure why it wouldn't be formatted all of the sudden. Please advise.

I am suddently having the same problem with a similar message. I've tried syncing to both my nano and my suffle and I get the message "Cannot be synced, the required disc space is not sufficient. I've emptied both appliances and still get that message when I try to sync. Even something as small as a single song.

IPod cannot be synced the required disc cannot be found

Hello i dont know if someone already posted about this, i couldnt find something like it.
My iPod is a Shuffle first generation
When i connect my ipod to my computer it detects its as normal (Driver F or G), then itunes opens and then says "ipod has been succesfully synced" as it always does, but now when i try to put a song in it it stays for like 5 minutes with "Syncing iPod do not disconnect" after those 5 minutes a message appears:
"The iPod "IPOD" cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found."
I tried restoring it but i couldnt it said something about error in iPod so it erased all files in the iPod including the ones in iPod control hidden folder. The weird thing is that i connected it to 5 iMacs from my school and there iTunes had no problem syncing music to my iPod and i could listen to it and everything but when i returned home the old problem came back, i dont want to go to my school to sync my iPod everytime i want to erase or put another song in it.
Please i need to solve this ive had my iPod for 1 1/2 years and it worked perfect until recently and i live in mexico i cant order a replacement or anything. i think this happened after an itunes upgrade i think it was 7.4, my ipod has the latest version for ipod shuffle first generation 7.5

I have the same problems with 2 different ipod shuffles (1 is a 1st Generation, the other a 2nd generation). I have tried them on several different PCs with the same error. I followed the apple document listed in this disussion an none of the solutions work for me. I ended up using the Apple reset tool to get them working, only to have the problem come back when I trying syncing with pcs that have I-Tunes 7.3.x or 7.4.x. After resetting it again, I found a PC that hadn't been updated for a while and had I-Tunes 7.1.x. That worked as I expected and I was able to sync multiple times without any issues. I would be willing to go back to that version except the I-tunes backup I have is 6 months old and missing alot of music purchased since then and the current libraries don't work on the older version. Any suggestion on what is going on with the 7.3 and 7.4 versions of I-Tunes and the shuffles and how I can resolve the problem?

When I synch my ipod touch I get the following message "The Ipod touch cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? this error occurs at the point it is syncing the photos - all other things seem to be syncing fine.
