Error:  The iT Mus Lib cannot be saved.  The required file cannot be found.

I'm getting this error repeatedly:
"The iTunes Music Library cannot be saved. The required file cannot be found"
I've reinstalled several times and even reformatted my computer. Still no luck. It was fine on an older version but this one just won't cooperate. I have to re add all files to the library each time I launch iTunes. arrrgh!
Please help =/

hi bpfriend!
i'm just doublechecking something here:
"The iTunes Music Library cannot be saved. The required file cannot be found"
is it saying file or folder?
incredibly rare (i've only seen it reported twice or thrice), but i have seen a message saying:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. The required folder cannot be found."
... with some earlier versions of itunes 6.0.x.
love, b

  • "required file cannot be found" error message

    hi everybody,
    i recently just purchased an ipod video 5th edition. i plugged it into the computer and immediately tried adding my music collection. everything seemed to be working fine until about 20 some odd songs into the syncing process when i got this message: "required file cannot be found". my ipod had completely frozen, responding only to the "menu click wheel" hard reset. so i tried the syncing process again, and again, the same error came up. i tried syncing manually with different songs, but eventually the error came up again. there isn't a specific song that triggers the error.
    since then i have tried rebooting, reinstalling itunes, trying different USB ports, and restoring my ipod, but nothing has worked. at this point, my patience is running out and i have no idea what to do. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

    thanks for the help... not

  • 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.

  • Error: C:\jdev10134\webservices\lib\jaxb-impl.jar The system cannot find..

    In jdeveloper 10.1.3.4, I created a new synchronous BPEL project, then connected to my db and selected a package and did the right-click, create a web service from it. Now that I compile the project it returns this error:
    Error: C:\jdev10134\webservices\lib\jaxb-impl.jar (The system cannot find the file specified)
    Do I need to add something to jdeveloper to allow it to compile web services?
    Thanks,

    Creating a WS client in a BPEL project breaks BPEL compilatiopn, that's easy to reproduce.
    I dont' know how you can fix this without getting rid of the WS client, but if you want to keep the BPEL and are happy to remove the WS client, then proceed as follows:
    - delete the src directory
    - remove the "oracle.jdevimpl.config.JProjectLibraries" and "ownerMap" sections in the *.jpr.
    - restart JDev
    After this you should be able to compile the BPEL again.

  • The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  A file was specified instead of a folder.

    What does this error message mean? "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  A file was specified instead of a folder.

    After trying a few other remedies, the tech at Apple Care suggested I reinstall Lion.
    Here's the article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1599.html
    I have not had the error message since, even after importing about a dozen CDs and burning a couple playlists.
    This seems to be the fix.

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • When I attempt to sync my nano I get an error message: "The ipod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."

    When I attempt to sync my nano I get an error message: "The ipod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."

    This is getting frustrating.  Every example of my problem has the same reply:
    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder.  This is normally located in your pictures folder.  Once this is done, try syncing again.

    I have NO photos on my Ipod Nano.  I select "Photos" and the Ipod goes to a blank screen with the msg "No Photos" at the bottom.  There must be some other file missing.  Itunes won't connect to the Ipod, I keep getting the same error over and over.  It would be nice if it told me what file is missing.

  • Error message: iPod cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found.

    Each time I sync my 5th generation iPod to my laptop and open iTunes, I get the message "iPod cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found." My husband already updated my iPod with the most current Updater (6/28/06). Any thoughts or suggestions?

    After looking further into the archives, I got an answer to my question. There is a file called "iPod Photo Cache", located in the Pictures folder, that should be moved to Trash. Once done, the error message pops up no more!

  • "The iPod **** cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found" Error

    Hello,
    Upon doing a 'zero-all bits' reformatting of my 5G iPod with Disk Utility and using the 'Restore' feature in iTunes 7, every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, I get an error message after the sync in the form of
    "The iPod ** cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found"
    and photos, contacts, and calendars are not synchronizing. I tried a second 'Restore' attempt but to no avail. Previous to reformatting my 5G iPod, I've not seen this error message.
    I would be grateful if someone could offer any clues. Many thanks.

    A little update.
    Upon reinstalling iTunes 7, deleting my iTunes-related .plist files, and reparing permissions on my hard drive, I can now sync my contacts and calendars with my 5G iPod.
    As for Photos, the "required file cannot be found" error seems to be due to the default setting in the 'Photos' tab, 'Sync photos from:' pull-down menu to 'iPhoto'. If I choose my 'Pictures' folder, photo synchronizing works, albeit including everything in my iPhoto library, including originals and modified versions of the photos.
    I can only surmise that the default setting for synchronizing photos is somehow buggy in iTunes 7. I guess I'll just wait for an update.

  • Getting authorization error message: Required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

    I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."  And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue.  Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message.  HELP!

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.
