I am unable to sync my ipad..i get error message " required file cannot be found" Can you help me?

Some things to try in this order:
1) Make sure you designated the correct folders for music, etc.
2) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons on the iPad until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
3) Make sure all antivirus and firewalls are off.
4) Delete and reinstall itunes. (Back up the itunes folder first.)
Hope this helps...

  • 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.

  • Adobe reader (11.3.2) PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!

    i have the latest Adobe reader from the app store (11.3.2) however i am struggling to open PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!
    any help or suggestions welcome

    Would you describe how you transferred the PDF file to your iPad and iPhone?  Did you send it as an email attachment and open it on your iPad and iPhone?
    The file may have been corrupted by Apple Mail, which is a known problem.  Please see Problem #1 in the FAQ document How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
    Would you try some experiments so that we can troubleshoot the problem?  During the experiments, please use cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and avoid sending the PDF file as an email attachment.
    Rename the corrupted/damaged PDF file on your iPad.  For example, add "_damaged.pdf" to the file name.
    Upload the corrupted/damaged PDF file to the cloud storage of your choice.
    Download the corrupted/damaged PDF file from the cloud storage to your Windows or Mac desktop computer.
    Open it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for Windows or Mac.
    Does Adobe Reader XI on your desktop computer display an error message?
    Upload the (good) PDF file on your iPhone to the cloud storage.
    Download the (good) PDF file from the cloud storage to your iPad.
    Open it in Adobe Reader on your iPad.
    Does Adobe Reader on your iPad display an error message?
    We can investigate further based on what you will find.
    Thank you for your help.

  • 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.

  • ITunes Saying " "iPhone" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found. ????

    Hey Everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5 Beta 2 and am running iTunes 10.5 Beta 2, and, when I try to sync my iPhone 4 it comes up with a "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. The required cannot be found."
    This is the first time this has happened. I have synced many times before and this just now started today. I have no idea why and it is keeping me from Syncing my iPhone which is very annoying.
    If anyone has any speculations as to why it is doing this, please, let me know!
    Thank you,
    Mitchell

    I am having the same problem, I think I narrowed down the problem though, when i deselect sync photos from iPhoto it syncs fine and I don not get the message "required file cant be found", but when I select sync photos from iPhoto I get the message.

  • Unable to sync iPad; Required File Cannot be Found

    I'm not able to sync my iPad to my Mac. Each time I try to sync I receive the message "The iPad cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found".
    I tried the Restore option in iTunes, but continue to have to same issue. I've been syncing the iPad almost every week since I got it and just started about the same time as iTunes was upgraded.
    Any ideas on how to fix it?

    It seems that your iPod/iPhone/iPad photo cache got corrupted.
    Go to your iPhoto library
    Right click and choose show package contents
    Delete the folder "iPod Photo Cache"
    Close iPhoto Contents folder
    Restart iTunes and re-sync. This should solve the problem.
    Your iPhoto library will be re-optimised for syncing to your preferred device.
    Hopes this solves your problem.

    when syncing my ipad I get the message 'iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "..." because the apps installed on the ipad could not be determined'; what does this mean?

    I'm pretty sure it's a bug in either iOS 6 or iTunes 10.7.  I kept getting it until I quit iTunes and re-ran it again.  I then started sync from the iPad itself.
