IPhone: Required Disc Can't be Found

Now it can't sync music because the "required disc can't be found" Is this part of the new itunes version? It always synced ok before. Where can I find the required disc??

Just to complete the thread... I had the iPhone connected to a USB hub and apparently iTunes and the iPhone were not making the connection. I moved the USB plug to the computer and everythings back to normal... The 'required disc' must have been the iPhone searching for the hard drive on the G5.

    Before I restored my ipod, I backed it up then I updated and restored.  The problem is when I went to put everything back on it, I got a message saying that an error writing to the device, can not sync.  Then another message appeared saying that "the required disc can not be found.  Now what do I do?

    Try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Also, delet the iPod Phot Cache folder for the second error. For its loation see:

  • When Syncing, got error msg "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found", When Syncing, got error msg "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found"

    i've upgraded to IOS5 and also my iMac to latest iTunes.
    i now found Itunes frequently issued a error during syncing "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found".   i have connected the iphone4 to my iMac using USB (i.e., wired).   but without doing any thing further, i go to iTunes and just hit the button to "SYNC" the iphone4 again, it will work.
    so, why am i getting that error usually first time around when i connect the iphone?

    Hi folks. Am REALLY struggling here and hoping for some help. I too am constantly getting the 'iPhone can not be synced' message since upgrading to a new MacBook and trying to sync my iPhone 3GS. Have tried updating to latest iPhone software and hasn't helped. Have tried all the stuff mentioned above (dumping that file etc) and no luck. When I go to my sync page for photos, even if i un-tick the sync photos option altogether, this error keeps appearing. Very odd and very frustrating. Can't sync - seems to stall at last step of the process every time.
    I'm guessing it is photo related as the pics on my iPhone are now all lowres and blurry, and it is asking for sync to iTunes to get high res images onto the phone.
    Also have problem going the 'other way'! WHen I go to iPhoto on Mac and try to download new photos taken on iPhone.. I keep getting the message 'The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognized format."
    help please

  • "required folder can not be found"?

    My 5th generation iPod nano would not let me add new artists and sync with itunes.  I tried everything.  My son's 5th gen works fine on the same computer, as does my iPhone.  I have uninstalled (with itunes support help over the phone) and reinstalled itunes.  My ipod nano would not even "restore".  It kept coming up with error 1436.  So I managed to restore the iPod on our new computer so now it has no music on it.  I have plugged it back into my computer that has all our itunes content and now it will not do anything.  It says "required folder can not be found".  I have spent so much time trying to figure this out.  Any help would be appreciated.

    It says "required folder can not be found".
    That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?

    the ipod pictur cache is found here on Windows
    When you sync pictures to the iPod, your actual pix are not what gets loaded. A copy of the photo is created in a size and format that it knows will display well on the iPod. ( the format is "ithmb"?). These converted pix are stored in the iPod Photo Cache folder, and uploaded from there. Every folder you select to sync photos from will have an iPod Photo Cache folder at its top level.
    Files are kept there indefinitely, to save conversion time if you ever need them again. But those cache folders can really grow...if you know that you're never again going to need a bunch of photos on your iPod, you can delete the iPod Photo Cache folder from their parent folder. If you delete a cache folder that contains photos that are on your iPod, the cache will be rebuilt (provided the original files still exist).

    When I attempt to add files to...or copy to the desktop of my mac, my icloud (idisk ..the blue icon on my desktop) is giving this error:

  • Error occured while converting the file track #1 the required disk can't be found

    I have old CDs, I have new CDs and I have a relatively new MacBook Pro (3 years old) running current software on 10.9.4 OSX Mavericks. My updates are good on my iTunes but it won't let me import ANY CDs that I OWN! Is this the new Apple and it's iTunes update?
    Can we not legally put our CDs onto our phones or iPad/iPods any longer? Must I go garage sale-ing for a personal CD player? The code reads; "Error occured while converting the file track #1 the required disk can't be found". My cd drive is fine btw. It reads and shows on my desktop and will also play when I double click the CD icon and play the .aiff file.

    I kind of have the suspicion if you were no longer allowed to put CDs on iPods it would be front page news, not something you alone would discover.  Anyway, there would probably be a clear message to that effect rather than a technical error message.   I would take the technical problem route first rather than suspect you have been targeted for persecution.
    Have you restarted iTunes?  Have you tried restarting your computer? 
    Personally I prefer third party rippers such as XLD and Max and you could certainly try one of those to at least isolate the issue to iTunes.

  • I'm trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes but the error message says that it can't be synced because the required disck can't be found. What does this mean?

    I'm trying to sync my ipod classic with my itunes library, but I get a message saying it can't be synced because the required disk can't be found. How do I find what this disk is? I have over 2,000 songs in my itunes library but only 497 sync. Help!

    Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

  • Can not synchronise my ipod with itunes. the required medium can not be found

    Can not synchronise my ipod with itunes. I receive the message the required medium can not be found

    Is it along the lines of the "required disk cannot be found?"  What OS are you using and are you running the latest version of iTunes?  I assume you have tried multiple USB ports as well as tried using a different USB sync cable to rule out a damaged/faulty cable?
    Do you have any other USB devices plugged in while you try to sync your iPod?
