I get errors trying to set my IPAD back to the factory setting.  error:  backup session failed.  If I try to sync I get 3 more errors - 1) the IPAD cannot be synced, an internal error occurred. 2) required file not found. 3) folder specified instead of fi

Any help with errors setting IPAD back to factory setting?  I received this error when trying to back up - backup session failed.  Has any one had the following errors when trying to sync to computer?
1) the IPAD cannot be synced, an internal error occurred. 2) required file not found. 3) a folder specified instead of file.
Any help appreciated

  • IPod cannot be synced. Required file not found?

    I havent had any trouble syncing my ipod until last week when i purchased a song. When i dragged the song to a playlist on my ipod, it appeared grey in my playlist (because it was still loading) and then disappeared. I repeated this until i gave up and I reported this as an issue to itunes. When i tried again it worked and i thought maybe the problem had fixed itself, but i tried to add a CD to my ipod a few days ago and it only synced half of the songs. Now when i try to sync the leftover songs an error box pops up saying "The iPod (name of ipod) cannot be synced. Required file not found."
    Some songs will sync perfectly normal, some load but disappear, some eventually just sync, and some won't sync at all. Has anyone had this problem/ can anyone help SOLVE it? please and thank you!!!

    Try this:
    Let your iPod charge up.
    Attempt to sync a large play list.
    When the iPod shuts down and you get the error message, quickly click through the dialog boxes on iTunes so when the iPod comes back up iTunes will attempt to sync again.
    When the sync starts again after the iPod reboot, click the little X in the bar that shows how many tracks have been loaded. This will stop the sync and you'll be able to eject your iPod.
    After it's been ejected, unplug the connector from the iPod and see what happens to the battery indicator. Mine goes down to almost gone and red - then after a few minutes it comes up to about 2/3 strength - but it should be full after being fully charged and just syncing a few hundred tracks.

  • IPod Sycn issue - Required files not found

    My iPod has been running well for a year and a half up until the last month. I have two Libraries which make up my music collection, my main Library on my PC running Windows XP of about 11 Gigs and about a Gig on my Laptop running on Vista.
    When adding music onto my iPod - 30Gig video, 4th Generation, I think - I receive a message, saying iPod "could not be synced. Required file not found." After this, my iPod stayed froze until I let the battery run down, then I restored it.
    I took it into the Apple store and the guy said the problem was either a faulty USB cable or a bad song file. I knew it wasn't the USB, and it has proven not to be since, as it works fine on both comps still. I thought I found the file, one the iPod froze up on syncing a while on the laptop. Got rid of it, seemed fine.
    Until last week. My music collection has been getting bigger and I think I've hit a wall. I'll load my 11.5 Gigs from my PC, then I'll be able to load about a Gig onto my iPod from the Laptop and it'll freeze. It's not one specific file, it's frozen on a number of different files. I do the upload on the laptop last because for some reason it hates to Restore the iPod (unresponsive, not freezing but iTunes stops working).
    I can't figure it out, is this a software issue or is it some hardware problem I can't fix?

    Hey, I've been fighting with my iPod for the last two hours with the same REQUIRED FILE NOT FOUND error. I found little help on here. Finally, I decided to connect the iPod USB cable to another USB port on my machine... is synchronizing like new... actually, it is finished. No error.
    So, maybe try a different USB port. Can't hurt.
    Cheers.

  • The iPod cannot be synced. The required file not found"

    The iPod cannot be synced. The required file not found" is this something i can fix? i have tried everything.

    Hi,
    here's a work around for the "the required file cannot be found" problem when syncing
    go to your 'iphoto library' in pictures,
    locate your 'originals' folder
    ctrl click it and select 'create alias'
    drag your 'originals alias' folder to your 'pictures' folder.
    go to itunes with your ipod/iphone attached
    click your ipod/iphone
    select the 'photos' tab
    next to 'sync photos from' click the drop down menu
    click 'choose folder'
    find your 'originals alias' folder
    select the photos you want.
    now your ipod/iphone will now sync your photos.
    enjoy

  • Cannot Sync, Required file not found!

    Plz help. I just updated itunes and now when i plug in my ipod, it wont sync,it says, "The ipod "name withheld's ipod" cannot sync. required file not found."

    It's possible that the iPod Photo Cache folder on your computer, which is created from syncing photos to your iPod, is interfering with the syncing.
    Try deleting the folder from your computer. See this for details:
    Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
    Then, try resyncing your iPod with your computer, and see if it is sucessful or not.

    Hi Atul_Saini,
    So I checked your link and all seems correct on my computer.
    At the bottom of the link you provided there is "see also" section, about activation / deactivation.
    I did not deactivated my licenses before my window re-install, and if now I go to Flash Builder -> Help , desactivation button is greyed out. Could it be the source of my problem that I used my licenses on two computer and did not deactivated them ?
    If yes, how could I deactivate thoses products ? I searched on my profile but I can't find a way to do it.

  • Ipod wont sync required file not found?

    Please help!! my 4gb ipod nano (2nd generation) will not sync with itunes on my computer. My computer recognises that the ipod is connected and itunes tries to sync my songs onto my ipod, however, a message comes up saying "Ipod cannot be synced, required file cannot be found" & sometimes "required disc cannot be found". What is this required file & disc? And how can i get my ipod to work? I just want to be able to listen to my songs on my ipod!

  • Ipod nano 4th generation won't sync required file not found!!!

    I had my computer fixed and so I had redownload itunes again.All my my music got saved to a folder as a backup.Well when I downloaded it,I put all the songs on itunes and tried to sync my ipod to add new music.But,it kept saying it won't sync since required folder is not found.I've looked everywhere online to see what to do.I tried uninstalling everything and again multiple times.The same error kept popping up.I switched to Manually manage music to see if it fixed the problem but no.A different error "the song....could be copied error ..." I switched back to sync.Nothing worked!!I tried restoring but it took so long as if it couldn't work it out.Previously I had this same computer fixed and when I downloaded again itunes it worked perfectly fine until now.Can somebody please guide me what to do?I cannot afford a new one.

    That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?

    How many songs do you have, and how long did you give it? I have my 16gb Nano almost to capacity, and it took between 45 minutes to an hour or so the last time I restored the whole thing.

  • My photos will not sync, "required file not found"

    I already deleted the iPod Photo Cache (twice) and this did not fix my problem!

    Yes, thank you.  My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that. 
    Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!
