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

  • "The iPod **** cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found" Error

    Hello,
    Upon doing a 'zero-all bits' reformatting of my 5G iPod with Disk Utility and using the 'Restore' feature in iTunes 7, every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, I get an error message after the sync in the form of
    "The iPod ** cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found"
    and photos, contacts, and calendars are not synchronizing. I tried a second 'Restore' attempt but to no avail. Previous to reformatting my 5G iPod, I've not seen this error message.
    I would be grateful if someone could offer any clues. Many thanks.

    A little update.
    Upon reinstalling iTunes 7, deleting my iTunes-related .plist files, and reparing permissions on my hard drive, I can now sync my contacts and calendars with my 5G iPod.
    As for Photos, the "required file cannot be found" error seems to be due to the default setting in the 'Photos' tab, 'Sync photos from:' pull-down menu to 'iPhoto'. If I choose my 'Pictures' folder, photo synchronizing works, albeit including everything in my iPhoto library, including originals and modified versions of the photos.
    I can only surmise that the default setting for synchronizing photos is somehow buggy in iTunes 7. I guess I'll just wait for an update.

  • 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?

  • 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?

    I went to sync my iPhone 4 as usual with my iTunes account on my MacBook Pro and when it got to the end stage of the sync where it syncs with iPhoto, I get a pop up message 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?

  • The iPad cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be found.

    My 1Pad2 synced fine for a few weeks, now I get "The iPad cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be found."  Through process of elimination, I've determined that it is a problem with the photos portion.  When I uncheck "sync photos", everything else syncs fine.

    Try deleting the iPod photo cache.

    This is getting frustrating.  Every example of my problem has the same reply:
    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder.  This is normally located in your pictures folder.  Once this is done, try syncing again.

    I have NO photos on my Ipod Nano.  I select "Photos" and the Ipod goes to a blank screen with the msg "No Photos" at the bottom.  There must be some other file missing.  Itunes won't connect to the Ipod, I keep getting the same error over and over.  It would be nice if it told me what file is missing.

  • When Isync my iPhone with my mac desktop I get this error message, "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". Can anyone help?

    When I connect my iPhone (ios 4.3.3) to my Desktop Mac I get an error message. "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." This happened while I was downloading photos from iPhoto.

    Close "iPhoto" if it is open. Open the "Pictures" folder and right-click on "iPhoto Library." Select "Show Package Contents." Right-click the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, select "Move to Trash" and sync your iPhone. The error message should no longer appear.
    if that doesn't work,
    uninstall itunes and download the lastest version

  • 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.

  • 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.
