Can not "Auto" "Sync" "Podcasts"

Can not automatically sync my podcasts. Got new/replacement iphone 3GS phone recently.
Set up as NEW and reloaded everything. However, my podcasts wont sync. Ihave to manually "Drag and drop".

I find the same to be true for me, and it's really frustrating. I used to be able to sync by checking the little boxes next to the episodes I wanted, choose to only update those selected, played or unplayed, and update worked fine. Now that choice is gone, replaced by "last 10" or last 10 unplayed" etc. There is a knowledge base document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/900.html
that states:
"To load podcasts onto your iPod manually, deselect Sync and drag podcasts or podcast episodes from your Podcasts playlist to the iPod icon in the iTunes window (below Devices). "
This functionality doesn't function in 7.0. Maybe in 7.0.1????? How soon???????
OK! OK! TIME OUT!
Last night I tried the dragging action, but with no apparent results. But somehow, 419 "songs" appeared on my iPod from nowhere, and I couldn't seem to determine where they were. duh! So now, I just tried going into the song list by Genre to podcast, and, lo and behold, there are all the missing podcasts I dragged there! but they don't show up in tyhe normal podcast area. I need to go home from work, reconnect the iPod to the Mac, and determine where they are. I'll update here when I do find out!!!!!

Can not manually sync podcasts

I prefer to manually sync everything on my 3G iPod (music, podcasts, etc).
Since updating to iTunes 7, it appears I can not manually copy podcasts to my iPod. It only appears to load podcasts if I choose the Sync option in iTunes.
Not exactly my idea on manually managing my library.

Ah, it has been mentioned daily esp since iOS 5 / iTunes 10.5 but has always been there as an issue.
Order of attempts:
Repair the installers
Uninstall EVERY Apple component (auto and manual)
Services: Restart all 3 Apple items (AMS, Bonjour, iPod)
I* always do the last almost, then launch iTunes, and only then connect iPod.
IF you see a yellow alert in Devices and Printers or in Device Manager, then I could find NO WAY to fix or repair other than a clean OS. Something messed up the device driver support.
If/when Windows asks "what to do when it detects iPod"? don't chose any default action, to me, based on hunch and 3 PCs, that seems to mess AMS up for some reason.
Tried with Windows 7 64-bit Pro and Home Premium, and also Deve Preview 8 (which other than the inability to update iOS to 5.0 seems to run better -- except when it comes to AMS thing! so seems Apple is not on the same page writitng drivers.

Not auto-synching Podcasts

I manually sync my music on iTunes to my iPod touch and I have the Podcast setting to sync the last 3 episodes. However when I plug the iPod in I have to manually sync the Podcasts as well. Shouldn't they auto-sync when the iPod is plugged in?

Try the power widget included in Android and turn on to Auto Sync and see if everything working via PUSH. If emails still not auto syncing try to reset the phone to the original factory settings and then reload apps.
Factory Reset option 1
From the main screen, touch menu tab
Touch Settings
Touch Privacy
Touch Factory Data reset
Touch Reset Phone
Touch Erase Everything
Warning: This will erase all data from your phone, including:
Your Google account
System and applicatin data and settings
Downloaded Applications
It will not erase: Current System software and bundled applications; SD Card files, such as music or Photos

But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

i'm not sure that because of this problem? if yes, how to do? because i do manythings such as use 5 R's and program reset utility. But i still got this problem. Help me plz.

Sorry to see your having these issues Jihant. Posted below I have some links that may assist you with your troubleshooting steps.
One of the first things you may want to look at is
1. Download and Install latest iTunes Software. You should have iTunes 7.2
2. You stated earlier you did the 5 Rs. So you have done a Reset and Restore. I would give it one more shot after you upgraded iTunes as needed.
If this still does not resolve the issue. Try copying songs over 1 at a time. Do not copy over a playlist. Then try a new play list all together. Create a new playlist.
You can also take a CD you may have and put import songs into iTunes then see if those songs will copy over.
You may also create a new user and open up iTunes in a new user and import a cd with some songs and see if the same issue occurs.
You can also try
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
And if this still does not work for you. You may want to try another computer.
or if the above article does not resolve the issue

When Syncing, got error msg "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found", When Syncing, got error msg "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found"

i've upgraded to IOS5 and also my iMac to latest iTunes.
i now found Itunes frequently issued a error during syncing "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found". i have connected the iphone4 to my iMac using USB (i.e., wired). but without doing any thing further, i go to iTunes and just hit the button to "SYNC" the iphone4 again, it will work.
so, why am i getting that error usually first time around when i connect the iphone?

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

IPhone can not be synced. The required file can not be found

I got the message that "iPhone can not be synced. The required file could not be found." I suspected it had to do with photos because it was always in the middle of that when the error message came up. Re started everything. Unchecked photo sync and it synced except I would like to have the photos sync. Any ideas on why it won't sync when I check the option to sync photos to phone?

I can not listen to podcasts on my ipod 4

I can not listen to podcasts from itunes on my ipod 4. Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

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: this iphone can not be synced. The required file is missing. Help.

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.
