IPod- 80g synch problem - file not found

Am getting "the iPod cannot be synced as the required file not found" when trying to synch my iPod 80gig. New problem - is it the new iTunes software I downloaded ? How do I fix this ? please help as I have over 30gigs of music. Also why does my 80gig iPod say it only has 70 gigs of space in total, what happened the other 10gig?...
Thanks for your help in advance.

  • 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.

  • Ipod wont sync required file not found?

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".

  • "Ipod cannot be synched, required file not found" What do I do?!?!?!

    I get this message, and then whan I try to restore my ipod, it says it cant be restored, error 1418.

    Nobody has any advice?

  • 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.

  • File not Found error when synching Ipod

    I have a fairly new Ipod and synced successfully for months, but now iTunes says it cant synch because of a "File not Found error" (no error number or other clues). I'm running the latest iTines and Ipod software, and I've reset USB drivers but still no luck. I cant reset the iPod itself becase I then got a "1418 error", which is why I then reset USB. I'm stuck, has anyone seen this before?
    The Ipod itself plays fine and Itunes recgnises it OK, albeit very slowly, even thought I'm using USB 2.
    One other piece of info; when this first happened, the sync must have first deleted the songs I no longer wanted, prior to unsuccesfully adding new ones. Those old songs show up on the iPod but are skipped when I try to play them.

    Its on the same thread as this one ("connecting iPod nano (second Generation ) to Windows"). Scroll through the authors, you will find it.

  • 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.

  • "File Not Found" MPG4 / Protected (?) songs unable to play on PC or on iPod

    I burned about 150 songs from my iTunes Music Library on another computer onto CDs and then inserted the CDs into a new computer with my iTunes Music Library on it. The songs on these CDs DO NOT play in the iTunes Library or on the iPod, although the track titles and artists appear on my computer screen and hence they look as though they are included in the Library. When I try to play those songs I get an error message with an exclamation mark next to the problem songs saying "File not found. Do you want to locate file?"
    I tried the option to convert them to AAC but that does not work. Is it a copyright problem or a technical one?
    Many thanks for your replies!

    Checking the "copy" box will solve the problem for future importing but not the current problem.
    You could do two things after checking the "copy" box:
    1) Delete the dead tracks and add them again from the CD(s).
    2) With the CD in the drive, select Consolidate library on the Advanced menu. This will copy all files not currently in the iTunes Music folder into the iTunes Music folder, you may not want that if you have your music in other places as well. Also if the music you want is on more than one CD you may get a lot of error messages as it tries to consolidate tracks it can't find.
    One other thing - you mention protected files in the thread title, iTunes will not import files protected by other programs.

  • File Not found, but music is on iPod

    OK, this is strange. I just added some more music to my iPod. But it said that 27 songs hadn't been added. But, they ARE on my iPod, and in my iTunes library and the preferences is pointing in the right direction for the library of all my music. So why do I keep getting file not found?

    I think you misunderstood the problem. Music is on my computer in my iTunes folder under the correct file name and when i try to play the file using itunes there is an error message 'original file cannot be found, would you like to locate it?' If you locate the file where it is supposed to be, it will play the song. It seems to just be losing information about where files are stored on my computer randomly. Could this be because my files are stored on an external hdd?

  • 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

  • Ipod touch doesn't appear under devices.  message - file not found.

    My ipod touch doesn't appear under devices when I plug it into the computer.  My mac tried to sync with the ipod touch and then gave me the message "ipod touch could not be synced.  File not found."  This just suddenly started.  What file? and what happened to it? help, please.

    PROBLEM SOLVED - I did not know that in itunes under "devices" there is a "hide" and "show" if you mouse over the area to the right of the word "devices".  My ipod touch was somehow hidden.  I still do not know why I got the "file not found" message.

  • Problem with Vision Builder and LabView: Error -1074395995, File not found

    I have created an inspection with Vision Builder AI 2009 SP1. In it I load some pictures from the HDD and run some checks over it. It works fine. Then I have migrated it to LabView 2010, I get a message that the migration is successfull, but when I run the VI on LabView I get a fail status. I have been checking my program and I have found and error when I try to load the picture from file: Error -1074395995 occurred at IMAQ ReadImageAndVisionInfo
    Possible reason(s): IMAQ Vision:  File not found.
    But I am not sure which file it refers to. At first I thought it was the picture I wanted to load, but I have checked the path and it is correct, so maybe it refers to another thing. What puzzles me most is that it works perfectly on Vision Builder and I have changed nothing in LabView, maybe it is a problem with the migration. Any clues?

    Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Put a break point here and see what the path is and compare that with what Vision Builder AI is using (described where to find this in the previous post). You could find where this global is used to make debugging easier.
    Hope this helps,
    Brad

  • Web-application deployment problem (404 - File not found)

    Hello
    Does anyone have had the same problems like me on deploying java web-applications on iPlanet WS 6.0?
    I started with the HelloWorld.war example that came with the server and went through the manual but no luck so far. Heres what I did:
    0. Checked that webapps are enabled in the servler.xml file
    1. Created a directory /opt/webapps and /opt/webapps/hello with sufficient permissions
    2. Copied the HelloWorld.war example to /opt/webapps
    3. Deployed the excample on my test-server using the webinterface.
    Heres the content of the web-apps.xml file of my testserver after step 3:
    [DTD here]
    <vs>
    <jsp-servlet enable="true">
    <init-param>
    <param-name>use-precompiled</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    </jsp-servlet>
    <web-app uri="/hello" dir="/opt/webapps/hello" enable="true"/>
    </vs>
    All files have been extracted to /opt/webapps/hello properly. The server has been restarted.
    When I finally point my browser to http://server/hello or hello/index.jsp I get only a 404 - File not found message by the server. The context path seems to be totaly ignored.
    Heres the error log of the server
