How to find cause of "File cannot be found" in sync iphoto to iphone in itunes?

Hi can anyone help with syncing iPhoto to iPhone ?     I know similar posts exist on this subject but I have spent 4 days reading them and every support article even vaguely related to it but have not found a solution that works for me.   I have downloaded the latest iTunes, deleted the itunes helper p'list, deleted the ipod photo cache, tried copying my iPhoto library to another HD and syncing with that, tried switching the phone on and off while connected with iTunes and when not, done innumerable restarts, unchecked the sync photos box to delete library photos from the iphone and tried again, rebuit the iPhoto Library, repaired permissions, rebuilt thumbnails, and a few other suggestions I've read and all these many many times in the hope that this time it might work and all to no avail.     When syncing,  iTunes verifies the phone, backs it up, syncs everything else then analyses the iPhoto library, optimises the photos and then starts to copy them and after a few moments gives me that familiar message that the " iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found "  My iphone tells me " iTunes Sync Needed.  High Resolution images synced via iTunes are missing. Connect your device to the computer ...launch iTunes to sync them."  Where the photos used to be in each album or event that is still listed there are just black boxes.   I use the iphoto library on my iPhone for work purposes, at least I used to and I still need to.  This is really driving me nuts and I am sure it's rectifiable but I am clueless as to what to do to fix it.  I'm sure someone out there knows what I should do and I really need to know! PLEASE !

It works on my Windows 7 laptop.
iTunes has to be started.
Are you sure you have Windows Explorer set to show file extensions?
Sounds like you renamed it from "FindDeadTracks.txt" to "FindDeadTrack.js.txt" if it is still opening in notepad.
All I do is have itunes started, double-click on the .js file, and let it run. My library is pretty large so it takes more than a 1/2 hour to finish going through all the tracks. It comes back with a message, "0 dead tracks found" and the little notepad results file it creates is blank.
If you DO have dead tracks, it comes back with a message like "15 dead tracks" found and the results file lists those 15 tracks.
The name of the results file is "Dead Tracks.txt"

  • Getting message "file cannot be found" when trying to play music in iTunes

    When trying to play ANY music in my iTunes Library I get the message that the file containing the music cannot be found. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes - is this the problem or is it something else?? I thought that at least the songs purchased from the iTunes Store would play but they do not. I receive the same message which asks if I want to attempt to locate the file. I click yes and that takes me to the iTunes Library which gets me nowhere. Anyone have any ideas????? I have used iTunes for years with no problems before this.

    Hi Patricia,
    First, try Repairing Disk Permissions. Quit all open applications. Launch Disk Utility, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Only takes a few minutes to run, then Quit Disk Utility. Reboot your PBook and launch iTunes. See if you can play a track...
    If not... with iTunes open, select iTunes Store, then from the Menu Bar, click Store/Authorize Computer and see if that works. If that doesn't work ...
    Quit iTunes. Try dragging the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the HD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences folder to your Desktop. Launch iTunes and see if you can play tracks. If you can, drag that file back to the Preferences folder. If not, drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It could be your iTunes preferences file is corrupted and needs replacing. Your Mac will create a new pref file for you the next time you launch iTunes.
    Hope something helps...

  • Error: the required file cannot be found - when sync with iphoto

    I am getting this error when i try to sync my photo's from iphoto. Never had this issue but its not syncing any photo's any suggestions or cures?
    Use iphone 3GS with MBP (late 2008)

    Hello,
    Explore iphoto library (right click, "show package contents"). There is a folder called iPod Photo Cache. You need to delete the contents of that folder dragging them to the trash. Then sync your iphone again.
    Best,

  • Error message "The Itunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created.

    It goes on to say that "the default location for this file is in the "itunes" folder in the "music" folder." Help!!!!! I have found the file, however everything I have tried only produces the same message indicating the file cannot be found.

    When you get that message, does iTunes give you the option of locating the file? If so, then browse to the file and select it. If you don't get that option, I believe that holding down the shift key (or possibly the control key) when you launch iTunes should cause you to get the option.

  • 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.

  • I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

    iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
    I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
    This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
    Thank you.

    My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

    I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
    Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

  • IPhone cannot be synced The required file cannot be found

    could you help my iphone cannot syncing it showing a message "The iphone .......... cannot be synced, The required file cannot be found". I trying to reinstall a itune, update my iphone it still showing a message.

    Hey Rawins,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines the error message you are receiving and steps to a potential resolution:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697
    - This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    If you encounter any of the above issues or another issue while syncing photos, try the following:
    1. Ensure that you are syncing the device with the computer with which you normally sync photos.
    2. Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off Photo syncing.
    3. Sync your device.
              Important: This will remove all synced photos from your device.
    4. Disconnect your device and update to the latest version of iTunes.
    5. Remove your iPod photo cache.
    6. Connect your device to iTunes.
    7. Select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn on Photo syncing.
    8. Sync your device.
    If you still see an alert that there is not enough space to sync your entire photo library, selectively add photo albums until the device is full.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?

    When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?  It does not happen with all the pictures.

    Is you library a "referenced" or "managed" library:
    That message is generated when a library is a "referenced" library and the location of the files have been moved from where they were when originally imported into iPhoto.
    Are the photos that this is happening to in the same Event(s)?
    What system are your running?  Where is your library located? How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

  • I recently had to get a new computer, my list of audible books is there but can't open because original file cannot be found.  how do I find them or redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore?

    I recently had to purchase a new computer, after doing so I no longer can open my audible books.  the list is there, but I get an error message telling me that the original file cannot be found.  How can I redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore when I go to the Apple Store??

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • Newbie: How To find Core Dump files on Unix?!  URGENT!

    Hi, i would like to know on How To find Core Dump files on Unix?!
    I know they should be found in  /usr/sap/<SYSTEM-ID>/<INSTANZ>/work
    but there are no "core" files and also in tmp is nothing unusual but disk space is totally full.
    So how to find the big files which i could delete to make system running again?!
    can someone provide me with some infos?!
    br

    1. which user i should use to search and destroy?! root-user or SYSID-User?!
    Always use the user with the least permissions to do the job, don't use root if your sidadm can do it. If you want to find / delete SAP files use sidadm.
    2. I found no core files and the harddisk is still 100% full, what files might also cause this problem
    In your first post you wrote that /usr/sap/SID/INST/work dir is full, it is most likely that some trace files got to large. Check for files like dev_*, dew_w0 for example is the trace file of work process 0, dev_disp is the trace of the dispatcher and so on. You either have to increase the size of the filesystem, or find the cause for the growing file. It can be due to an increased trace level.
    3. What on database-side could cause this problems?! can i search for sth here.
    This does not look like a database issue so far.
    4. i was unable to use the given scripts (noob!), what can i do else?!
    Which one, please post what you typed and the error you got.
    Best regards, Michael
