Required files not found

When syncing my ipod touch it says required files not found it only seems to do this when trying to add photos this all started when i restored my ipod for another reason does anyone know how to fix this

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 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.

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

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".

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.

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?

Error while rendering: Export file not found - what to do?

Hi,
I have been editing my video in four different premiere pro projects (as I got adviced to do from these forums because it's AVCHD clips). I have rendered these four projects and burned to four DVD's (total playtime is around 1.5hours) - which is working fine.
But then I try to import all four projects into one big master project because I want to make a blu-ray iso. The import goes fine (I import like this: File > Import > Choose project > Import entire project)
I export to encore, make the menus etc. and click "build" to start rendering. The problem is that after some time I get this error:
Blu-ray Object: "sequence-name-here/project-name-here.prproj", Export file not found
I have seen this error before while rendering some of the four individual projects - but when I saw them I simply just tried again by exporting to encore from the projects again. This seemed to work - but with the big master project I have tried several times with no luck.
Can anyone help me fix this issue? :)

Yes, I got this too:
For posterity, here is what I have found that completely fixes this error, repeatedly: Clear Encore's cache. Specifically:
Close your Encore project and exit Encore
Go to the cache subdirectory named for your project (ie. if your save file is c:\projects\mymovie.ncor then go to c:\projects\mymovie\cache)
Delete the file "mlf.cache.v10"
If your Encore project contains any Premiere Pro dynamically-linked assets, start Premiere Pro and load at least one of the projects used in Encore. (I have found that this reduces memory usage -- for some reason, Premiere Pro takes up less memory than if Encore spawns the PProHeadless.exe media server to serve the same function)
Restart Encore and load your project
...and wait, patiently, for Encore to re-scan all of your assets and build up the cache again and don't touch it until it's finished. I use Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) to watch my disk activity and CPU to know when Encore is finished (just hover on the cyan-colored graph and you can see what program is performing the most disk activity). Once it's all finished, I save, then immediately try to build my project again. For proof of concept, my 40GB BD-50 project just built last night after getting this error yesterday afternoon.
If any of your assets are not transcoded before you begin this process, transcode them all, then start this process over again from step one. Clearing the cache does not clear the transcodes.
I hope this helps someone. I was not looking forward to completely re-authoring my project, which I've been working on (on and off) for a few months.

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.

That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

Please help!
