Cannot sync photos or mail accts since new app's installed

Hi,
I have recently installed a new app' and also updated some old ones. Since then every time I try and sync my iPhone it comes up with the message "Cannot Sync "AKs" iPhone. The required file cannot be found."
I have tried to restore it to no avail. I am loathed to try and upgrade to OS4.0 as I am somewhere where I do not have a lot of bandwidth or data allowance at the moment and so cannot do that easily. It only seems to be the photos and my mail account that I cannot do anything with at the moment.
Can anyone help me find this apparently missing 'required file'?!
Cheers

answer found after doing another trawl on here.

ITunes cannot sync photos following Photos upgrade

Since upgrading to 10.10.3 and migrating my iPhoto database to the new Photos.app, iTunes is throwing up an error message:
iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone “[my iphone]” because your iPhoto Library could not be found. Open iPhoto to create or update your iPhoto Library.
My iTunes version is 12.1.2.27 (it updated yesterday) and all the rest of my software is updated to the latest versions.
I have tried rebooting and restarting iTunes and Photos many times.
My iPhone syncs new photos fine to Photos.
There is an option in iTunes to change the iTunes Media folder location, but this only affects music not photos.
Would love some help with this! Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem with my two iPads. Got same error message.. What i discovered is that once you device in connected you can go into setting. You will need to click on photos. At top of screen that opens you photo setting you will then need to click synch photos block. It will then open the lower portion of you photos settings. You can then click on circle to sync all photos or select only the albums you want synced and include videos if you wish. Once you have clicked on all desired setting you will need to click the sync button manually on bottom of that screen next to all you used and free GB space. You will get a pop up window asking if you want to erase all photos on you device. If you feel all your pictures and videos transferred over to the new photo app then you should be fine erasing all the pics on the device and now the new photo settings will sync to your device.. I hope this has been helpful to you. As it worked for me.
Look at it this way you just need to reset all your photos setting because they stopped communicating with you device once the iPhoto transferred you photos to the new photo app.

Cannot sync photos "iPhoto library is not yet available"

When syncing iPhone 5s to iMac running Yosemite and get the following error:
"iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "iPhone" because your iPhoto library is not yet available. Please try again later."
This phone has been syncing with iPhoto for some time now. This is a new one to me.
Tried rebooting the phone and the desktop machine, same result.
Interestingly, in iTunes when selecting the "photos" page all I get is the spinning circle for the iPhone, the other selections, Summary, Apps, etc., all load fine.
The same situation is true for the iPad mini, the photo page never loads. I have not attempted to sync the iPad since this error appeared.
Anyone familiar with this error?
This mac has had the "iPod" cache folder deleted in past months to clear another sync error, but had been syncing fine since then.
iTunes version 12.1.050
Thanks!

@CookieDuster
We going to run a test and see if if this solution works. Lets try
On your super cool imac:
go to system preferences>users & group>create a new account and name it test (make sure you set it as an admin account)
get an external hd and plug it in
next go to finder>pictures>and copy iphoto library that is located there and put in the external hd
now log into the test account
transfer the iphoto library from external to pictures folder. if you see the same file there, do not worry you are just overwriting it.
once that complete, I would like for you to test your iphone and see if it syncs over.
Thanks!

Itunes cannot sync photos

Trying to sync photos to new 80GB Classic. I get the following error message "itunes cannot sync photos to the ipod "ipod name" because the folder "my pictures" cannot be found."
I coincidentally got a a new computer a week ago and I get the same error message on both the new computer and the old computer.
I've seen several posts about photo syncing problems but I have not yet seen the resolution...maybe I missed it? Any help?

Downloaded the recent update, now I cannot sync photos nor view my photos on my phone.

Downloaded the recent update, now I cannot sync photos nor view my photos on my phone. Push the photo app button and it pops up then off.

Try this:
First create an empty folder...no photos in it...now, connect your phone and under the photos tab select sync photos & select this folder. Since there is nothing in it, no photos will be added to your phone, but hopefully this will remove the photos that are on your phone.

What does this mean? iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons"

Can anyone help me please? My iphone originally was linked to my PC. I downloaded over 3,000 pictures from my PC to my iphone. Since then my PC broke and now I have a macbook pro and the macbook doesn't recognize all the pictures from my pc. I get the following message.
-iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "Daniel's iPhone" because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons".

Hi,
I picked up on this Post as I was searching for "iChat" in non iChat places.
A Mac will contain a Folder for "iChat Icons"
It is kept in Hard Drive/System/Library/Application Support/iChat icons
There are about 9 sub folders here including Planets, Guitars, Feng Shui and so on.
They are normally accessed in iChat to be your Own Buddy pic.
They way you have phrased your posts suggests you have a folder on your phone called "iChat icons" which may have been created by the PC.
For people who know more about iTunes than I do to help will need to know where this Folder is exactly.

ITunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available.

I've turned my iPhone 4 into a iPod, meaning I only use it to hold music for my workouts. Ever since I've upgraded to Yosmite I can't sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes anymore. I can back it up, but I can't sync. Each time it tells me "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because your iPhoto Library is not yet available" I don't want to sync any photos, just music.
I've tried to repair my iPhoto Library, restarted my Mac, restarted my iPhone 4 but I still get his error message.
In iTunes when I select my iPhone 4 > Photos, I just get a spinning wheel.
Any thoughts??

I can't follow the first link since I just get a spinning wheel for photos.

HT1296 Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4. My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. Help

Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
Help...

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

Hi Joe,
Follow the instructions here to delete the photo cache.

Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Now try syncing.

Try deleting the iPod Photos Cache folder. There may be more than one. For its location see:
iTunes: Photo sync creates iPod Photo Cache folder
Also, go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and make sure syncing photos is unchecked.

ITunes cannot sync photos to AppleTV . . . unknown error occurred (-50)

Whenever I try to sync photos via iTunes with AppleTV using iPhoto as the source in the Photos tab, I get the following error message "iTunes cannot sync photos to AppleTV because of a problem on your computer. Unknown error occurred (-50)." I can sync all other media and even photos so long as do not sync it from iPhoto as a source (e.g., syncing from file folders not a problem).
I tried everything that I could think of: disconnecting and re-syncing AppleTV, restore to factory settings AppleTV and basically re-installing it, re-installed iPhoto, updated iPhoto library. I have also checked to make sure Slideshows in iPhoto are not linked to any music that may have ampersand or some other strange symbols. I have updated AppleTV to version 3.0.1, iPhoto has been updated to version 8.1.1 (iLife '09). OS is 10.6.2.
I am going crazy in trying to fix this problem but so far it is a dead end. Exporting slideshows is not a very attractive option as it takes forever. This "error" happened about a week ago when I was putting a slideshow together in iPhoto and then tried to sync it with AppleTV. First, went through without any problems, second - error message and that is where I am currently stuck.
If someone has ANY ideas how to resolve this, I would really appreciate your thoughts.
