  • Photo sync error- can't update because the required file cannot be found

    After setting preferences for updating photos, i get the error-
    "can't update ipod because the required file cannot be found"
    It seemes to update all other stuff like music and podcasts, but will not update photos.
    This is driving me crazy!
    Any help would be appreciated

    The same problem exists with the German Windows version of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
    The error message says nothing!
    I wasted a lot of time checking the photo files but there was nothing wrong.
    Then I monitored the hd-access to find out WHAT a file is missing: it seems to be about the cache files of the program that isn't orientated right about it's own files!!! It seems to be a big fat bug!!!
    The hint here really helps but it also means that all compressed files will be deleted and compressed again. That takes hours of time and lots of GB temp-space on the drives.
    I think Apple should deliver a bug-free version of iTunes as soon as possible. And Apple should talk to the customers for that they must not waste their time because of bugs in Apple software.
    Will Apple read this?
    I can't find an email-adress to send it directly to apple.

    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

  • My iPod says "cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found. Always when half way through a sync. It also shows apple logo when I try to access photos and I think the issues are linked. Any ideas?

  • CAN NOT SYNC PHOTOS (Error: "The Required file cannot be found")

    Hey All,
    So i got a an iPod Touch today from the Apple Soho Store in NYC. Very Excited.
    I am getting an error though when syncing my photos. I created an album for the iPod Touch and am only syncing that.
    The error that I get is:
    *"The iPod "My iPod Name" cannot be synced. The Required file cannot be found."*
    Things I've tried:
    - Not syncing the photos: Everything works fine
    - Not syncing that album, but another album: Same Error
    - Read up on the same problem on the iPhone: The only solution that I saw that didn't work on some iPhones was to clear the Keywords. I WILL NOT CLEAR MY KEYWORDS.
    I am using the most update-to-date versions of iTunes, OS X, and iPhoto 08'.
    Please help!
    Oh and by the way if you know how to make it Disk-Enabled. Please tell me. Apple is lame for taking that feature away from the iPod.

    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,

  • Tried to load photos to ipod but its ways the required file cannot be found

    I tried to load my photos on to my ipod but its ways "the required file cannot be found" so what do i have to do to get the file? i have the ipod video. so can any one hepl me plz!

    I had the same error message after I had restored my Pictures/iPhoto folder from a backup. After restoring my iMac's Pictures folder, I kept getting that message. Everything else would sync just fine, even the movies.
    I figured that it was the iPod photo cache folder. It's located in the Users>Pictures>iPhoto Library>iPod Photo Cache. I deleted that folder, it sync'd up all the pics.
    This simple deletion was my answer. I've searched through these boards so many weeks for the answer. I've done those Five R's to no avail so many times. I even thought my ipod being Windows Fat32 based was an issue. I hope this works for you as well. Caveat: always make backups before you delete anything.

  • I went to sync my iPhone 4 as usual and when it got to the end stage of the sync where it sync the photos from iPhoto, I get a message pop up that says, "The iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." What do I do?

    Hi. I am having the same problem.
    I have updated iPhone software and carrier settings, OSX Lion on the comp and in step 4 of 4 during photo sync about half way through, the error message comes up and now my pics are gone from the phone. I did empty the cache and the problem still persisted. I changed cables, I restored the phone and synced from the back up and even restored and created a new phone identity, still no love.
    I am puzzeled, any suggestions?

  • IPad stops syncing when 'Reconciling Photos'.  The 'required file' cannot be found

    When attempting to sync my iPad, I get an error message when it's 'Reconciling Photos'.  It says "The iPad "xxx's iPad" cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be found". 
    It stops the sync and, since this is at the very beginning of the sync, nothing else gets synced (music, apps, etc).
    Help!

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

  • IPod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found - Aggghh!!!!

    I have a new iTouch, which is fine, I am just having a very, very bad experience of iTunes., in fact so bad it may go back to apple soon and I shall dust off my old Creative Zen
    The Problem:
    When I try to sync any music, audio book or photos, the message comes up:
    " iPod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found" and nothing is synced,
    It syncs my contacts and calendar from Office Outlook fine, and the alarm works on the appointments.
    I think I have tried just about everything, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, done the whole Restore option in ITunes.. run the Diagnostics and all passes fine. I have searched the form and found another answer mentioning security issues, but mine have not changed. It is not the compatibility of photos or DRM with the music, I have tried a single music file (of my own song) and a single compatible photo.
    Googled the darn problem and there seem to be as many differing views on the problem as there are computers out there, from my hard drive being screwed (which it is not) to a registry file missing.. Tried all but…..
    Well if anyone can come up with an answer they can expect a very large thank you!!!
    Any answers?
    Thanks

  • The iPod "bobj's iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.

    Windows XPHome, iPod Touch 4G (now) version 4.3.4.  Attempted to update to 4.3.4 last night.  Files downloaded, but got message that  it could not connect to server.  A few hours later I tried again, this time it started the update, but when it got to "Installing new hardware, iPod Touch (Recovery Mode)" it couldn't seem to find the drivers, so the iPod was stuck on the cable/iTunes screen.  This AM, I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes, Quictkime, etc.  This freed up my iTunes to restore my iPod.  I then did a Restore from Backup.  Everything worked fine EXCEPT at the end I got the message: The iPod “bobj’s iPod” cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.  It also seems that the onlything that didn't restore were the photos.  Subsequent attempts at syncing produced the same error message.  My photo cache is in the same location as before and it's location is correct in iTunes.  I even reselected and applied it.
    What are the next steps to solve this problem.

    Thanks.  Worked perfectly.  Had to turn the photo sync back on and select the folders, but all that took was a few clicks.  It's been a harrowing day sinced the failed update, but everything seems back to normal now.

  • The IPhone " 3 drea 3" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found

    i updated the software on my iphone last night to the 2.0 and when i tried to sync my phone to put my songs back on it i got this message "The IPhone "<3 drea <3" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found" whats wrong with is and how do i fix it ??

    Just another finding on my part ... I was able to sync my "last imports" from iPhoto, which were a bunch of JPG files that were scans of old family photos. As soon as I tried to sync other folders from the library, that's when I was notified with the error. Do you think this might be a complication with RAW images? I also thought about file names ... most of the photos have the sequential DSCNxxxx title.

  • 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.
