FCE 4 Scratch Disc Cannot Be Found

To conserve memory I accidentally deleted a file containing my FCE 4 scratch disc. Now FCE 4 wont let me enter the software. Is there a way to make a new scratch disc or uninstall the software so i can use FCE 4

+"...I accidentally deleted a file containing my FCE 4 scratch disc..."+
What do you mean? Your scratch disk is a set of folders on one (or more) hard drive(s). It's not a file. The top level folder representing your scratch disk location is named Final Cut Express Documents. Normally this is in your /username/Documents folder.
You can check & set the scratch disk location in *FCE > System Settings > Scratch Disks.*

The iPod cannot be updated. The required disc cannot be found

I am gettin an annoying message that "the required disc cannot be found" and am not sure how to resolve. The iPod shuffle seems to updat with songs successfully. I also tries restoring for factory settings to perhaps start from scratch. I also tunred off all automatic updates in the settings to no avail.
Any ideas?

Try this; disable your virus protection. If this works for you, you can also thank Apple Tech Support.
I'm unsure if this is an iPod problem or an iTunes
problem, so forgive me if this is in the wrong forum.
I've been getting this error message repeatedly since
I started using my 2nd-gen iPod Shuffle: "The iPod
cannot be updated. The required disc cannot be
found."
This worries me because it's the same error message I
started receiving just before my first-gen Shuffle
started doing the infamous "green light/amber light"
thing. This is not exclusive to my computer (Mac mini
1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo with OS 10.4.8); a family
member uses an iMac (700 MHx PowerPC G3 with OS
10.3.9), and iTunes displays the same message with
her 2nd-gen Shuffle. Both computers have the latest
version of iTunes, and both iPods are up to date on
their software.
Other than this, there appears to be no immediate
effect of the fuctionality of iTunes or the iPods.

IPod cannot be synced the required disc cannot be found

Hello i dont know if someone already posted about this, i couldnt find something like it.
My iPod is a Shuffle first generation
When i connect my ipod to my computer it detects its as normal (Driver F or G), then itunes opens and then says "ipod has been succesfully synced" as it always does, but now when i try to put a song in it it stays for like 5 minutes with "Syncing iPod do not disconnect" after those 5 minutes a message appears:
"The iPod "IPOD" cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found."
I tried restoring it but i couldnt it said something about error in iPod so it erased all files in the iPod including the ones in iPod control hidden folder. The weird thing is that i connected it to 5 iMacs from my school and there iTunes had no problem syncing music to my iPod and i could listen to it and everything but when i returned home the old problem came back, i dont want to go to my school to sync my iPod everytime i want to erase or put another song in it.
Please i need to solve this ive had my iPod for 1 1/2 years and it worked perfect until recently and i live in mexico i cant order a replacement or anything. i think this happened after an itunes upgrade i think it was 7.4, my ipod has the latest version for ipod shuffle first generation 7.5

I have the same problems with 2 different ipod shuffles (1 is a 1st Generation, the other a 2nd generation). I have tried them on several different PCs with the same error. I followed the apple document listed in this disussion an none of the solutions work for me. I ended up using the Apple reset tool to get them working, only to have the problem come back when I trying syncing with pcs that have I-Tunes 7.3.x or 7.4.x. After resetting it again, I found a PC that hadn't been updated for a while and had I-Tunes 7.1.x. That worked as I expected and I was able to sync multiple times without any issues. I would be willing to go back to that version except the I-tunes backup I have is 6 months old and missing alot of music purchased since then and the current libraries don't work on the older version. Any suggestion on what is going on with the 7.3 and 7.4 versions of I-Tunes and the shuffles and how I can resolve the problem?

My iTunes doesn't sync ALL of my music to my iPod, saying "the required disc cannot be found"

When I sync my iPod, only about half of my music syncs and a message comes up saying "the required disc cannot be found"
Please help me!!!
Thankyou so so much

Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder usually resolves the problem. For its location see:

IPod Touch "cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found."

Yesterday, I bought 3 CD's (yep, the physical kind) and today I ripped them into iTunes on my 24" iMac (with my usual custom settings, 256kbps, stereo, 44,100 KHz, with error correction on). I had synced my iPod Touch earlier this morning. Then I went to sync my iPod Touch (2nd gen., 32GB) to get the new albums onto it (it had about 3GB of space, so shouldn't have been a problem, I thought).
However, my iPT and/or iTunes (10.3.1) started getting flaky on me. I got most of the way through syncing, but when iTunes starts transferring my Music back onto the iPT, after several tracks had been transferred to the iPT, I get a message "The iPod "[iPod's Name Here]" cannot by synced. The required disc cannot be found. When I click on the OK, iTunes shows "Finishing Sync" and then says OK to Disconnect. (?) So I try it again (several times) - some times I notice that the iPod's screen shows "Sync in Progress" even after the error message appears and I get the OK to Disconnect message after that - ? - and another time, the iPod screen (partway through syncing the music, but after syncing the apps) just goes to the charging icon with no message about syncing. I tried restarting the iPT with the 'silver' Apple logo and all - still getting errors. After some of the problems, I disconnected the USB cable from my iMac and tried unlocking the iPT's screen with my password, and then things looked sort okay - except none of the new songs show up in the Music part of my iPT.
Thinking the iPT's timing out on me, or maybe has a bad cable, I switch to a newer cable I got, but I'm still having same kinds of problems and cannot get the new albums onto the iPT. By the way, the songs play fine within iTunes, so no indication that they are garbled or such.
It's beginning to feel like my iPod Touch and/or iTunes are ptiching a fit because I didn't buy these albums from the iTMS. Verrrrrry frustrating!

Are you also syncing photos? If yes, try to delete the photo cache folder, explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If this does not help, see this article for more suggestions: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

Thanks for the quick advice!
Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
Here's the error log after the restart:

Cannot find file, Disc Cannot be found.

I am having problems connecting my iPod mini to my computer through iTunes. I plug in the ipod and it updates about 100 or so songs and then it gives me an error and says that the iPod cannot be updated because the required file cannot be found. I hit sync again to see what would happen and it said that the required disc cannot be found. I was wondering if there were any suggestions to solving this problem. I have tried restoring the iPod multiple times to no avail.

I have been restoring it and trying to copy to it repeatedly and this time it gave me the file cannot be found error, but then it said. Attempting to copy to the disc "name's iPod" failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.

I recently uninstalled and the download I tunes again. I am not getting a message when I try to add new download tunes to my shuffle. "Disc cannot be found"; Error Code (.53). What can I do to fix?

I updated my Shuffle software and after that could no longer add tunes from the ITunes file to my shuffle. I get messages that say the disc cannot be found and an error code (.53). I can download new tunes to ITunes on my computer but cannot then copy them to my Shuffle. Any suggestions? Damned updates!!!

Well my first suggestion would be to return the PC and buy a new Mac instead... but that aside
When you say you moved your iTunes library over how exactly did you do that? Typically I'd suggest that you download a clean version of iTunes from online, and then move over just the music files. Not any of the additional library relates files that are found in the iTunes folder. Yes you'll lose your playlists and song counts, but there are worse things in life.

Required disc cannot be found

When I try to import some cd's into iTunes, it will appear to import a track, but then an error message pops up stating, "Error occured while converting the file 'xxx.' The required disc cannot be found." After I close this dialog box, I cannot manually open my CD-ROM drive and Windows will not recognize the drive at all. I have to restart my computer and then I can open the drive manually. If I run Diagnostics on the cd in iTunes, I receive this message...

Someone, anyone, please help me!!!! I am completely frustrated with this and extremely annoyed. Any advice would be great.

It seems to be random and happens after about 3 or 4 songs. If I disconnect and reconnect I am able to get those songs and it will then happen again 3 or 4 songs later.
It happened with my wife's iPod but not mine, and we noticed that it was happening if she was dragging and dropping individual songs while other songs were still being loaded.
I was dragging and dropping entire CD's into mine and it went fine, she was also able to drag and drop groups of songs with no problem, it seems to happen when she's adding individual songs while it's still loading.

When trying to sync my ipod it states "disc cannot be found"

TS1493 ipod nano displays cant sync. required disc cannot be found. what do I do??

I have just bought a 6th gen nano. when trying to sync it I keep getting the message Cant be synced. required disc cannot be found. Any help on getting around this???

What have you tried in terms of troubleshooting so far? Has the iPod ever been able to successfully sync with this PC and iTunes before or is this the first time you are connecting it?
I would first make sure you are plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port directly on your PC and NOT through a HUB. If possible, use a different USB sync cable to rule out a damaged/faulty cable as well.
Is the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

Trying to sync...required disc cannot be found

I have been trying to sync my iphone for two days now....no luck...either it says required disc cannot be found or it starts syncing and then says ...iphone device timed out.HELP!!!

Were you able to sync your iPhone with this computer previously and this problem started two days ago?
Does your computer have USB 2.0 ports and if so, are you connecting your iPhone to a USB port on your computer and not connected to a USB hub, or to an available USB port on your keyboard or monitor?

XP : "required disc cannot be found"??? anyone?

i upgraded to the new itunes software yesterday & have been trying to import some cds but the same thing keeps happening- it starts to import, gets about 3-4 songs in & stops, saying the required disc cannot be found. then i take the disc out, put it back in, start importing again, same thing.
i imported a disc yesterday before upgrading the software w/ no problem. it is getting progressively worse, importing fewer & fewer songs each time.
is this itunes or my computer?
thanks!!!

IPod cannot be synced - disc cannot be found

Although it is not an ideal solution to the problem and quite time-consuming, I can put tracks from ITunes onto my Ipod shuffle one at a time without "the required disc cannot be found" message appearing.
I tried everything to sort this problem out, including following other tips from this forum, but nothing else has worked!!!
Just thought it might help anyone with the same issue who hadn't tried puttin tracks on seperately xx

Try to delete the photo cache, you will not lose any photos or other data on your iPod.
The other possibility would be using another USB port/cable.
If you are trying to copy music from your ipod to the Mac, are you using "transfer purchases" by right clicking on it in the device list?
