Cannot find "file to sync photos"?

I'm am trying to update my photos. But everytime I try sync my phone it prompts with an error. can't find the file. phone cannot be synced. Why?

ok one more question
The file syncing issue now seems to be resolved & the ipod connects to the PC without too much argument now
the only outstanding issue is that I have seom videos within my pictures. Previously these existed within the Pictures folder, but I could still play them
However now this doesn't happen & in the Pictures folder I just get the first frame of the video, without being able to play them. I don't know why suddenly it won't play them
They are all in mp4 format. as most are home videos I wanted to keep them in the Pictures folder rather than move them into the official Videos section
thanks

Can't find file to sync photos - why not?!?

I recently re-organised my photos on my PC & changed the file location for the photos to sync to my iPod. I reconnected the iPod & it went through to organise the photos in a new photo cache as I would expect...but then when it went to actually move the pictures onto the iPod, I get told 'can't find file' and so it does not sync
I can see the pics in the cache, the location of the photos on iTunes is right, but they don't seem to talk to each other & so nothing happens
anyone seen this before or have any suggestions??
thanks
Ian

Telling me it cannot find file while syncing

the exact message that comes up when i'm trying to sync my iphone is , "The iphone "Kelly's iphone " cannot be synced. the required file cannot be found." now i've reinstalled itunes four times figuring that would get the file back that i'm missing but apparently not, any suggestions? please help i have no idea why it wont work. it started after i had my last itunes update. before then never had a problems with anything.

OK I've found it but if anyone else needs it heres how to find it
1) close iphoto and itunes
2) find the iphoto library in finder, most probably located in your users folder under pictures.
3) right click on iphoto library (might be named diferently) and choose show package contents
4) delete the folder caches and ipod photo cache.
5) restart iphoto
6) restart itunes
if itunes asks that the library is linked with another ipod, say yes to the warning to re sync with your ipod/ iphone

Cannot sync photos-says cannot find file, will not sync

eveytime I try to sync, when it gets to photos, iTunes has an error window with no code that says "Cannot find file, cannot sync" Everthing else backs up and syncs except photos. My husband uses the same mac and he can sync just fine, no errors.

For iPhoto the link said:
If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture album, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
From the Finder, choose Home from the Go menu.
Once there, open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.) If you have moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location in Finder first.
Control-click the iPhoto Library or Aperture Library file and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
In the next window, locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and drag it to the Trash. Important: Do not remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
Close the Finder window.
Are you doing step 3? You can also right click and select Show Package Contents. It works both ways for me. I just tried it.

I photo freezes under 'cannot find file'

When I open iphoto it works fine for a few seconds but then it freezes and says 'cannot find file .........'
I then have to force quit because it says it's 'not responding'
I don't know why the files have gone from iphoto because I can still find them if I search for them and they seem to be in the correct place.
For the moment I cannot use iphoto at all so please help!
Thanks

When it says that it cannot find a file, does it mention the file types?
Some other things to try:
Rebuild the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Spotlight and finder cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

Spotlight and search field in Outlook on MacBoon cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

Reinstall on both.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.
     Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings.

When what is clicked?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

"cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

Cannot find file #01, do you want to search?"

We recorded a song yesterday and saved it as properly as the other sessions we also recorded. Today I want to open it, but it always says "Cannot find file #01, do you want to search?" But I've got the problem only with one file, the other songs are ok.
The odd thing is: the file is there, also the tracks in the file and the recordings in the tracks appear. But the music inside the recordings is gone. Also the media file is empty. I'm quite desperate and my band will kill me. Can anybody help?

Did you move the songs to the current folder AFTER you added them to iTunes? Sounds like you did. Big mistake. You may just have to delete you library and re-import them from the current folder. Once you've done that, leave the files where they are. iTunes can't track where you're moving your music to from one place to the next.

None of the links in my TOC or INDEX work. Cannot find file is the error message.

The files are on a networked drive. Win7. FM 8. I've renamed files. Regenerated. Created a new book. Nothing works.
I do have hyphens and underscores in the file names but no other special characters.
Need help urgently.
The error message is:
Cannot find file named
\SOL\Data\TechDocs\DRAFT\Shiva\OperatorManual\096-0461-001C-1.
fm.
Make sure that the file exists.
Note that the TOC and INDEX are listed in the book w/o a path while the body chapter has the entire path (above) listed in the book view.
Thanks

IIRC, FM8 had an issue with a path having more than 5 (or 6?) sub-folders. Try bringing the files up a few levels or create a mapped network drive down to the lower levels.

System cannot find file specified during install officejet 6500

I started my HP solution center software today to do some scanning over my wireless connection. I received a message box indicating I needed to reinstall the original software that came with my OfficeJet 6500 wireless 709n printer. when I started the software it recieved the message 'system cannot find file specified'. No information was given on what file it was looking for. I then downloaded the software from the HP site (OJ_AIO_6500_E709_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe) and encountered the same result. I hookup up my printer via USB and it appeared to go looking for driver updates. After that the HP solution center software would run but would only connect to my printer if the USB was connected. Still cannot run the printer software set.
I recently upgraded my windows 8 64-bit to window 8.1. It worked before that. This is not the only software that was broken by the process. Any help on how I can re-establish my wireless connection to my Officejet 6500 would be appreciated.
I also tried the Microsoft 'Fixit' solutions but they are not available for windows 8.1 :-)...

Hello All,
Try using the scrubber built into the CD or download.
From original CD installation:
1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer.
2. Open "Computer", and then right click on the CD drive and choose open.
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the L3uninstall.exe (near the bottom of the list).
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
8. Restart the computer.
9. Download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard.
10. When it comes to the screen asking to accept the terms, don't yet. There will be a few options near the top of the Window. I need you to choose "Connection settings" or "Internet connection usage settings" (It will be something similar to what I just stated). It will give you the options to turn off automatic updates, I will need you to change all of these options to "Off" / "No".
11. Once they're set to "Off" / "No", continue with the installation like you did before.
If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
1. Type %temp% in the run field
2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the L3uninstall.exe (near the bottom of the list).
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

11. Once they're set to "Off" / "No", continue with the installation like you did before.
Also, make sure all of the Windows Updates have been completed.
Let me know if this works.
Thank you,

I cannot find wi-fi sync option on Summary Tab..

i cannot find wi-fi sync option on Summary Tab of my device.
i already check the version of iTunes (10.5) and
updated my device into iOS 5.
then, i tried to sync iPad2 via wi-fi, but i cannot find that option on summary tab of device.
i have to use USB cable stil.
i re-installed iTunes but it doesn't work.
i don't know how should i do.

As previous posters have said, it appears the OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) is the minimum system required for Wi-Fi Sync. I sure wish there was a post somewhere or a page in Apple's Support area that indicated which features are supported (or not) by the various version of OS X that are supposedly compatible with the iPad 2. Anyone find one?

Version XI Cannot Find File USING VBA Shell Command

I open Adobe Reader from an Access VBA Shell command. After upgrading to Version 11, the Reader opens but I get the Error Message. "Cannot Find File".
This was on a Windows 7 Machine running MS Access 2012. I had an older PX with XP and Access 2003 on it, so I ran the program on it with Version 10 and the Reader opened with the
file passed to it using the Shell command. I updated Adobe Reader to XI on the XP machine and I got the "Cannot Find File" message. I went back to the Widows 7 machine anbd removed Version 11 and reinstalled Version 10 and the Shell command worked like it did before. Does anyone know if there is a work a round for the Version 11 error as I have many many customers that may update to Version 11 and my program is not going to work for this particular function.
Appreciate any help, thanks.

Q1 Answer
I use Shell because it has worked for years and it is a build in VBA function and ShellExecute uses Windows API, and I took the easy route.
As I'm sure you know Shell is for exe, com or bat files and ShellExecute enables
the opening of files such as txt, pdf... etc by file association.
Q2 Answer
The exact string is
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" C:\FoxFales Data\FoxFalesStaff\Alerts\GenericSupplies.pdf
The path for AcroRd32.exe is retreived by reading the registry entry "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\"
Q3 Answer
If you paste the above command in the CMD shell you get the same result. Reader Opens, but opens with
the message "Cannot Find File".
Newest Results
In the forum I found threads that indicated that if in Security (Enhanced) you had "Enable Protected Mode At Startup"
enabled there were some unpleasant results.
So I turned it off and lo and behold Reader XI with the Shell commandfrom VBA works!
But as a matter of interest I turned it back on and tried the API call ShellExecute, as you so politely suggested,
and...IT WORKED with "Enable Protected mode At Startup" enabled.
I don't understand why Reader XI lets ShellExecute work and not Shell, but I'm happy I have a solution
Thanks for you help
