"ipod cannot update - file not found" after getting new ipod

i had my ipod replaced today at the apple store because of a bad HD. Seems like the one they gave me was brand new...anyway after following the restore/charge directions, i went to go plug it into my dock and Itunes is telling me it can't update the ipod because the file is missing. i definitely have the latest update installer, and i even tested playlist syncs with the new ipod and it definitely updates songs/playlists, but after that it gives me the error message about not being able to update.
i ran the last updater, and it says my ipod is up to date.
what's going wrong? i must have done something wrong.

or not....i spoke too soon!
it's doing it AGAIN. after it started updating after restoring all was well, it tried to add my whole library which won't fit.
when it add's a "library selection" instead automatically, it fills up my ipod so that the photos won't update.
then when i re-mount the ipod, it gives me the same old error message again about missing the file required for updating!?!?!?
i wish my preference to "manually add songs" instead of syncing the library would save in Itunes when i restore my Ipod. it's making it impossible for me to get things working properly after restoring....

Ipod cannot sync file not found

Itunes will not sync ipod. it says "ipod mickey cannot sync, required file not found." but it is showing my ipod in itunes. can anyone help?

That can sometimes be caused by a damaged ipod photo cache.
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:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder

File not found after restart

Hello,
We have a web application that reads in a .ini file. This works great. But, when we have to restart tomcat (for example after the database has been restarted) sometimes tomcat throws a file not found exception for that file. The only way to get rid of that exception is removing the deployed diurectory of the web application and start tomcat again so it deploys the the application again. The .ini file doesn't leave its place and is always there.
Kind regards,
Martijn

File not found after importing from external hard drive

I have been importing music from an external hard drive into my Itunes account. Some of the songs transfer fine, but some of them show up in Itunes as being imported, but when I go to listen to them I get a file not found message because the original file cannot be found. If I have the hard drive plugged in there is no problem, but without it I get that message.
Any advice? I"d really like to get all music set up in Itunes.

H61M-P23 (B3) Bios update file not found

Hi everyone,
I tried to update my bios from version 17 to 19 so I have downloaded the bios file from here fr.msi.com/product/mb/H61M-P23--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
I plugged my USB stick and moved the .exe downloaded previously into the root of my USB Key. I ran the file then my PC restarted and now I get this message "Bios updating... File not found"
What should I do ? I can't access to the BIOS anymore, I tried a clear cmos but it's the same issue I also tried to insert the CD ROM of MSI but I can't boot from it.
Thanks for you help

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.

[SOLVED] GRUB 2 - "error: file not found" after Clonezilla Restore

Hello,
I backed up my Arch Install which is one root partition covering the entire SDD with Clonezilla, to play around with Gentoo and FreeBSD on my Laptop.
Now I restored the image and when GRUB 2 loads I see "error: file not found" three times for a short momemt before I'm in the GRUB 2 menu.
When I boot my I also see these 3 messages (probably the once from the early loading process) and "Loading Linux ck kernel...." "Loading initrafms...." "Press any key to continue..." When I wait for a short time or press enter it boots like expected (fsck message appears for a short time since I'm using quite boot and I'm in KDM after that).
Grub loading...
error: file not found
error: file not found
error: file not found
Loading Linux ck kernel...
Loading initramfs...
Press any key to continue...
I did not have this when I backed it up. It booted into the menu and when I booted the menu entry it would go black to show me the fsck message and seconds later I was in KDM.
I tried $ sudo grub-mkconfig but it did not change anything.
This is my current /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Anyone has a clue what files it is looking for? And why it doesn't boot straight away, when there is nothing that keeps it from booting up normal anyway?

Files not found after migration to new Mac

Hi,
On my old Mac, under Snow Leopard, my installation was complete and everything worked fine.
Then, when I bought a new Mac (with Mountain Lion installed) I had to use Migration Assistant to restore my Time Machine Backup, which included my Logic Pro installation.
Now when I try to use Logic Pro I often get these "Audio file ... not found!" messages (see example).
How can I fix this?
Many thanks!

Thanks for the link! Instead of un-installing and re-installing everything, I noticed that in GarageBand (which I normally don't use) there was an update/additional download available. After doing it I noticed that this had fixed nearly all missing-audio-file-problems in Logic Pro: when checking for missing instruments by creating a new instruments project everything was complete again on 2 of our 4 Macs (pre 2012 models) -- on the other 2 Macs (late 2012 models) only the following 3 ( ! ) files are missing:
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files/...
.../Seventies Kit/DC Tit Hat 08.aif
      (of EXS24 Instrument "Seventies Kit.exs")
.../Liverpool Bass/IL Btl Bass bomb 08.aif
      (of EXS24 Instrument "Liverpool Bass.exs")
.../Steinway Grand Piano/Steinway Pedal V1/Stw ped v1 024.AIF
      (of EXS24 Instrument "Steinway Piano.exs")
So we copied the 3 missing files into the same directories on the 2 newer Macs, but it seems Logic doesn't "see" them and therefore still says that they are missing:
How can I help Logic to find these files?

Please how do I fix this on my ipod nano "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.

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.

Acrobat File Not Found After Printing Web Page

Here is my problem:
I am trying to print a web page from our intranet but once the process is complete, a log file opens saying:
"The system cannot find the file" and then it lists the file I just tried to create.
The page is basic HTML with a small amount of Javascript. Disabling the Javascript had the same problem.
The page is about 30 pages long. Only printing the first page had the same problem.
Printing to PDF on an external site had the same problem.
I tried the same process in Office and ran into the same problem.
Here is what I am doing:
I am opening the web page in the browser. I go to File > Print. I select "Adobe PDF" as my printer. I do not make any edits to the settings.
Here is my environment:
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Windows XP SP3.
Tried it both in Firefox 3.6 & IE 7.
"Acrotray.exe" is running in the background.
Acrobat is completely updated.
Is it a setting issue? Possibly a software conflict issue?
Thanks,
-B

Thanks for the reply!
Here are answers to your questions:
No, I cannot print to PDF from other applications.
I do have have the checkboxes to request filename and open in Acrobat selected.
I do not get an error from Distiller during the process of creating a PDF. It isn't until it is completely done that the log file pops up that simply says, "The system cannot find the file" and lists the file location (i.e. c:\users and settings\desktop...).
Beyond that log file, it looks like everything is running fine.
Let me know if any other information that will help.

Imported files not found after re-configuring pc drive partitions !

I had alot of files I imported into ITunes which were in the following folder location c:\myfiles.
I have now moved these to a new drive partition d:\myfiles because there was no more space on C: drive.
Now when I play these songs I get an ! (Excalamtion mark) against all the songs I imported and also a 'Cannot play song ..... original file cannot be found' message.
I can browse to the new location and select the song which fixes it but I have alot of these to manually select.
Is there a simple way of making all the imported songs point to the new location ?
Thanks.

The simplest thing to do is to start a new library and reimport the files, but you loose all metadata.
Close iTunes, drag iTunes library.itl out of the iTunes folder to the desktop. When you start iTunes an empty library will be created. Use File>>Add folder to library to add your music.
If you really want your metadata and you don't mind a bit of editing, there is a way of rebuilding your library from the xml file.
Close iTunes and drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml out of the iTunes folder to the desktop.
oPen iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
Look for lines starting:
<key>Location</key>
You will see the paths to files. Note that the space character is replaced by %20.
If there is a simple find/replace you can do to correct the path e.g. change the drive letter, then you should be able to recreate you library from the edited xml file.
It would be a good idea to make a copy of the original xml file in case you don't get it right first time.
