IPod cannot be synced. Required file not found?

I havent had any trouble syncing my ipod until last week when i purchased a song. When i dragged the song to a playlist on my ipod, it appeared grey in my playlist (because it was still loading) and then disappeared. I repeated this until i gave up and I reported this as an issue to itunes. When i tried again it worked and i thought maybe the problem had fixed itself, but i tried to add a CD to my ipod a few days ago and it only synced half of the songs. Now when i try to sync the leftover songs an error box pops up saying "The iPod (name of ipod) cannot be synced. Required file not found."
Some songs will sync perfectly normal, some load but disappear, some eventually just sync, and some won't sync at all. Has anyone had this problem/ can anyone help SOLVE it? please and thank you!!!

Try this:
Let your iPod charge up.
Attempt to sync a large play list.
When the iPod shuts down and you get the error message, quickly click through the dialog boxes on iTunes so when the iPod comes back up iTunes will attempt to sync again.
When the sync starts again after the iPod reboot, click the little X in the bar that shows how many tracks have been loaded. This will stop the sync and you'll be able to eject your iPod.
After it's been ejected, unplug the connector from the iPod and see what happens to the battery indicator. Mine goes down to almost gone and red - then after a few minutes it comes up to about 2/3 strength - but it should be full after being fully charged and just syncing a few hundred tracks.

Unable to sync iPad; Required File Cannot be Found

I'm not able to sync my iPad to my Mac. Each time I try to sync I receive the message "The iPad cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found".
I tried the Restore option in iTunes, but continue to have to same issue. I've been syncing the iPad almost every week since I got it and just started about the same time as iTunes was upgraded.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

It seems that your iPod/iPhone/iPad photo cache got corrupted.
Go to your iPhoto library
Right click and choose show package contents
Delete the folder "iPod Photo Cache"
Close iPhoto Contents folder
Restart iTunes and re-sync. This should solve the problem.
Your iPhoto library will be re-optimised for syncing to your preferred device.
Hopes this solves your problem.

Cant sync iPod require file is not found

Has anyone received this error message?
If so, anyway to correct it?

Same thing has happened to my ipod, the purchased songs I got will not stay on my ipod because it wont sync. "Unkown error (-48)" pops up everytime i click on a song in my ipod, therefore i cannot update my ipod at all and i have it set on manual so i usually drag my purchases but im stuck now. Apple needs to fix this possible glitch/bug if thats the case pronto.

Iphone 4 cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found

Tried to sync my iphone 4, but this error comes up. Cannot be synced. Required file cannot be found. Please help.

The problem is itunes lacks the permission to get into the folder that it defaults the library where the items have to be in order to be synced to your device. So what you need to do is to go into my computer and click on your local disk( usually its C.) and without clicking anything else right click and it will bring up a menu go down to new and add a new folder by the name of itunes media or something. Once you have the folder, open itunes and go up to edit at the top and prefereances. go to the advanced tab and the first thing will be an area showing the location of your itunes media folder. That is the location itunes lacks permission to get to, so what you are going to need to do is go to click change, that will bring up a location for you to change it to. At that point simply find the folder that you created which should be right inside your local disk(not inside any other folders) then just put all your stuff you want sent to itunes here and you are set.

"iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone".

I get the message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" every time I sync the iPhone 3GS with iTunes by USB. Can anyone help? Please !!!!

I posted the following to "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "xx" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. What does this mean??" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15820680#15820680
I haven't seen it mentioned but the secret is to
Sync only selected calendars
Select "Remove Calendars" from the popup window
(This is ambigous: from where are the calendars removed? From the device being synced to)
Click apply.
Oops! My memory is already gone stale. I think I left no calendars selected, then clicked apply. Then I selected the calendars that I wanted, then clicked apply.
In any case, I had a blank calendar on my iPad and then I had all the updated events that I wanted on my iPad.
Thanks to all who provided some of the essential clues to resolving this problem.

Required file cannot be found to update ipod

required file cannot be found to update ipod
I recently had my hard drive crash and lost everything. I had all my music and photos on my ipod photo 60GB. I used a free version of ipod agent to transfer all my music and photos from the ipod to the pc (operating system XP). I placed all the music and photos on a back-up internal F drive, Which successfully worked. I then installed i-tunes. My music and photos were transfered into the new i-tunes program and I could play them. however, some songs were not transfered due to a message saying the songs were not authorized to play on this computer. When I tried to up-date my i-pod ,a message came back saying the ipod could not be updated because required files cannot be found. I then used ipod updater and retored the ipod to factory settings and deleted all the music on it. I also deleted all music in the itunes program and re-installed i-tunes. After re-installing i-tunes and ipod with all new updates, I again placed all music from my back-up drive F. Only 5,645 out of 7,255 were recognized. All my photos did transfer over correctly. A message said the others were not copied because they were not authorized to play on the computer. I got to this point twice and started to transfer the songs. but both times when copying music, by the time artists in the Cs' came a message came-up stating "the ipod could not be updated the required file cannot be found" My questions 1. why can I see the songs in the "f" drive and p[lay them from there but not have them all transfer into i-tunes? 2. What file I'm I missing that enables me to update my ipod? The message does not tell me the specific file
ipod photo color 60g Windows XP

The missing files referred to are the music files themselves, i.e songs.
Have you told iTunes where to look for your music folder? Go to edit/preferences/advanced/general and look at the location in the box 'iTunes Music Folder Location'.
Also, you may need to authorize the computer for any iTunes purchased music.

The IPhone " 3 drea 3" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found

i updated the software on my iphone last night to the 2.0 and when i tried to sync my phone to put my songs back on it i got this message "The IPhone "<3 drea <3" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found" whats wrong with is and how do i fix it ??

Just another finding on my part ... I was able to sync my "last imports" from iPhoto, which were a bunch of JPG files that were scans of old family photos. As soon as I tried to sync other folders from the library, that's when I was notified with the error. Do you think this might be a complication with RAW images? I also thought about file names ... most of the photos have the sequential DSCNxxxx title.

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.

When Isync my iPhone with my mac desktop I get this error message, "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". Can anyone help?

When I connect my iPhone (ios 4.3.3) to my Desktop Mac I get an error message. "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." This happened while I was downloading photos from iPhoto.

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
