    When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

  • 'iPhone 5 could not be synced as it iPhone could not be found on network'?

    Just set up iPhone 5 today - connected via cable to computer to get things up and running. All is fine except when I try to sync the phone over my home wi-fi network (which the phone is happily using to do all sorts of other things) I get the following pop up window in iTunes - 'iPhone 5 could not be synced as the iPhone could not be found on network'. So am a bit confused as to what to do get this to work.
    Any suggestions you clever people?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem after installing iTunes 11.1.4.62.  i cant believe there is no answer for this.  Worked fine old version iTunes.  I plug it in with cable, it sees it and some times it even syncs and sometimes it just drops the connection to iTunes and tells me phone cannot be found yet it is still connected and I see the Appli iPhone Drive  on the File Explorer.  I have been fighting this all morning.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  I did not save the old version in my downloads so guess i am out of luck.  If you have any ideas i would appreciate you help.  I am so dang frustrated.  I connect iPhone 5 to the cable and instantly recognizes it and I sell SN number and all.  Yet if try to backup it drops the phone or just sits there.  HELP PLEASE.

  • Required file could not be found on IPad during sync

    When I sync my IPad I get a message that states "IPad could not be synced the required file could not be found". How to I correct this?

    File could not be found means that iTunes has lost track of where at least one file is or the file is corrupt. Watch the sync progress to find out which file is giving problem. Then uncheck the file in iTunes, see if the rest will transfer. Now you need to figure out where the file is or what is wrong with it.

  • Original location could not be found - upgrade iTunes

    hi all,
    I upgraded my iTunes to version 7 online. Since that moment, i cannot open any of my songs ripped from a CD. I tried to find them with Spotlight, but nothing works, i cannot find any of the albums. They are neither in the iTunes Library nor in another directory.
    Could you help me finding back these files? I have almost 150 CD that i previously imported, and i cannot imagine having to redo just because of an upgrade of my iTunes...
    Thanks a lot for your help!
    Thomas

    The important thing about the method is that you have a standard iTunes setup:
    You should have an iTunes folder containing the library files and iTunes Music folder.
    The location of the iTunes Music folder should be set to this iTunes Music folder in the Preferences.
    ALL your music files must be in the iTunes Music folder. You have to consolidate the library if they are not.
    The method only works if you music is all together. Itunes is very fussy about the path to music files and can not cope if it changes - except that when files are in the iTunes Music folder, it can cope with changes in the path above the iTunes Music folder.
    Something that you may encounter is that you have to set the permissions on the iTunes folder and iTunes Music folder that you copy so your account has full control. It doesn't affect finding tracks, but does affect editing them.
