Cannot find required disk

When I try to sync my ipod it tells my cannot sync ipod because itunes cannot find the required disk. We get this error on my new 5th generation nano and my husband's 2nd generation nano, so I assume it is a computer problem. We have recently reinstalled itunes but that did not fix the problem.

  • Syincing error message "Cannot find required disk" - Help!

    I have a third gen 4gig nano that I got at Christmas. I added two CD's onto it when I got it. Now, however, I'm having trouble syning anything else - that's all I've been able to put on it are the two CD's even though I've added more into my library. I keep getting the error message "Cannot find required disk". Can anyone help me or tell me what I need to do?
    Thanks in advance!

    Even though you're not getting a -50, I'd check on the following document. (Your message is one of the possible symptoms of the problem outlined in the document.)

  • IPod Classic 120GB cannot sync, "Required disk not found"

    Somebody, please help! iPod Classic 120GB charcoal, current OS as of about a week ago (won't stay synced long enough for me to see what it is), iMac 24" 10.6.4, iTunes 10.0.1. Let me know if you need any more info and I'll try to provide it.
    Everything was absolutely fine until I updated to the newest version of iTunes. Now, when I plug in my iPod, it says it's connecting then jumps straight to the "Okay to disconnect" screen. It never shows up in iTunes at all. After doing this repeatedly, I unplugged it then immediately plugged it in again before it had finished the progress bar on the "Okay to disconnect" screen, and it finally showed up in iTunes, but it gave me an error of "iPod was not properly disconnected" then "cannot sync - required disk not found" and disconnected itself again.
    I tried resetting it (menu+center buttons) while it was plugged in, and this did nothing. iTunes still didn't recognize it at all.
    About a week ago, I followed some instructions somewhere and toggled the "enable disk use" option (I usually keep it unchecked) then was able to restore it. The songs were added back in a bizarre order (not alphabetical, not chronological, songs within an album added out of order, jumping from artist to artist, etc.) and I had to sync it again for three random albums that it missed the first time, but once everything was in again it was fine. I haven't added any new songs or playlists to my iTunes library since then (just changed a few ratings and I like to keep track of play counts), but when I tried to sync it again this morning, I got exactly the same errors.
    The only difference this time is that it alerted me that one song in my library (a song I happen to like very much) could not be synced. The song still shows up on my iPod, but will not play. It still appears and plays in iTunes on the computer.
    The iPod works perfectly in day-to-day use and is a little over a year old. I take very good care of it (my previous iPod is four or five years old and still works fine) and it has never had any problems before this. It has almost 100GB worth of music (no other media, just music), which makes it pretty annoying to have to restore it more than absolutely necessary. What is going on here and is there some way to fix it that will last longer than a week?

    Hi, yeah I'm experiencing the same issue as everyone else with a 120gb iPod classic using iTunes 10.1.1 (4). Started about the time of OSX 10.6.5 update and hasn't been resolved with the OSX 10.6.6 update.
    iPod attempts to Sync but now quits without even appearing on the computer let alone iTunes.
    I have ESET security but quitting the app doesn't help.
    I also have an iPhone 3Gs and that's still syncing fine (thank heavens), via a different library.
    I've since managed to wipe the iPod clean (back to factory settings) as forced to do so by following the instructions in another post to remove the iPod Photo Cache. I then moved my iTunes folder to another directory for safe keeping.
    I set up a clean iTunes database thinking my old one might have been corrupted. To do this you open iTunes from scratch while holding down the option key and select "Create Library". iTunes then remembers the last library created whenever you open the app.
    When I am able to see the iPod summary screen (a rare occurrence now) I see that "enable disk use" is checked ok - this has been noted as a problem in previous forums. So that's not the issue.
    Actually the iPod doesn't even stay connected to my 2010 unibody MacBook Pro when the iPod is switched over to disc mode. It immediately goes into "OK to Disconnect".
    So I now have a clean iPod, and clean iTunes - all empty and essentially useless!
    Anybody out there with any ideas? Plllleeeeeeeese?

  • Boot camp, "cannot find installation disk."

    What do I do? It's a Microsoft download from the MSDN Academic Alliance (Win 7 Prof. 64-bit) and I am getting this error.
    I downloaded the Win 7 Prof. from Microsoft's MSDN AA site on a PC.
    Opened boot campo and created the partition and the CD is visible in finder (.ISO) but boot camp says "cannot find installation disk."
    So I moved the .ISO to my desktop and burned a new CD using the iMac Superdrive and receive the samer error.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Boot Camp will not install from an ISO file. You must have a bootable DVD. Whatever is on your disc image it apparently is not what is on a bootable DVD. You may simply have a .exe installer application that will only work on a Windows machine or on a pre-exisitng Windows system on a Boot Camp partition.

    Can you further explain on this part?
    Do you already have an OS installed to the system? If you do, does the message pops up when you do the OS installation?

    Is that the second slot from the CPU ? If not, then insert it into that second slot. Afterwards do a full CMOS clear, and then retest.
    Also remove that GPU card for now and test with only the onboard graphics.

  • Installation cannot find a disk to install on

    Hello,
    Very short version of the problem:
    *Tiger installation does not detect any harddrive to install to*
    Full story:
    Yesterday I bought my very first iMac. It's a 20" wirh 2Gb ram and 300Gb disk.
    It was preinstalled with Tiger. I did the updrade to Leopard mself. No problems there.
    Then I treid to install Windows using bootcamp.
    Since then, a lot of problems.
    The system will not start anymore.
    So, since this is a fresh system, I have no problem starting all over again.
    I can't directly start with Leopard since they are only upgrade disks, so have to install Tiger first.
    When I have the install-1 Tiger disk in the CD and start the system, the upgrade
    starts.
    *But at a certain point it shows the box with available Harddrives to install to.*
    *That box is empty on my screen !!!!*
    *This is the problem: The apple cannot find my harddrive anymore.*
    does anybody have a clue what to do now?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • ASMCA cannot find candidate disks

    hi gurus
    I installed 11gR2 clusterware software on Redhat Linux 4.7 I cannot see any disks in the "Create Disk Group" window when I run ASMCA. I changed the "disk discovery path' to '/dev/raw/* from default,but still nothing was find.
    *[root@maoxl etc]# ls -l /dev/raw*
    *total 0*
    *crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 162, 1 May 16 12:29 raw1*
    *crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 162, 2 May 16 12:29 raw2*
    I have checked the read write permission on the disks(raw1,raw2 here),it's ok,why ASMCA cannot find them?
    Thanks very much!

    If you read this you closely, you will find:
    a.) Using /dev/raw is not needed anymore, you can directly use the block devices (e.g. /dev/sd*).
    b.) Your user right should be grid:asmadmin (or at leas oracle:asmadmin) and not oracle:oinstall.

  • Replaced Drive and had 10.4 OS on it cannot find original disks

    I need to get an installation OS copy for and intel black macbook serial W8730496YA4. The disk went out and I just replaced it but I cannot find my original installation disks and the guy at the apple store said that they don't even have copies that old. I don't want to pay over 100 i just want the OS so my mac will work....  Help

    If you don't have your install disks you can get the 10.4 gray disks by calling Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need.
    Or you can get the Snow Leopard retail installation disk for $29 if you have at least 1gb of RAM and a working DVD drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY  You won't need the box set unless you want both the full iLife '11 and iWork '09. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers for $20 each.

  • Cannot find install disk

    I just moved and cannot find my install disk. Got a "Volume needs to be repaired" message while doing some maintenance. Is there anyway to correct this without the install disk? If not, how do I get another one without coughing up the dough?

    Hi habsolutely, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    Other threads say *call Apple w your serial number*. There is a charge, much less than new system.
    Good Luck, JP

  • "Cannot sync ; required disk cannot not found"

    haha this is now the 2nd shuffle I have plugged into my computer and can no longer load any songs onto it and have deleted existing songs on 1. (1 being brand new and one being the shuffle I have always used with this computer). I go to transfer 1 song (I have even tried autofill) and it pauses for the longest time and then gives me the error "The Ipod "name" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found". Anyone know what this "disk" happens to be?? I have yet to try with my Ipod mini in fear that I will erase all the songs off of there as well. Ive done the 5R's and all that mess...but Im hoping someone here has had a similar problem?
    thanks!!

  • Ipod Nano won't sync, keeps saying cant find required disk. Can someone help me?

    Ipod wont sync, keeps saying required disk cant be found?

    Try these steps listed below.
    1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (i.e. *Device Manager*), and leave it open for now for later use
    2. Start up iTunes
    3. Next, connect your iPod.
    4. Go to your iPod Settings and select the “Enable disk use” option from under theSummary tab.
    5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Go ahead and hit OK
    6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
    7. Quickly switch to the Device Manager window and right-click on any item within the window and select “Scan for hardware changes”
    8. Finally, switch back to iTunes, and try re-syncing your iPod to see if it helped.

  • Oracleasm cannot find asm disks on boot

    Hello!
    RAC 11.2.0.2 on SLES10.
    I have configured asmlib on a RAC system (multipath configured) and everything worked as a charm before booting node 2 in the cluster. Problem is that after reboot of node 2 i cannot see my asm disks anymore on that node. This only happens on node 2. I dont have this issue after rebooting node 1. However, if i do a manually "scandisks" on node 2 it sees the disks again and the cluster starts successfully..
    I cannot see any difference between the two nodes.. the asmlib rpm's matches the kernel version.
