IPod on my 3gs can't find files after 4.2 update

Updated my 3gs to 4.2 and now the iPod feature doesn't recognize the music my iTunes says is STILL on my iPhone.
Why do I even bother to update... major problems every time.

A Google search found this:

Can't find files after restoring them from Time Machine

Hi!
Yesterday I formated my macbook pro and re-install Mountain Lion. Before that I made a backup using Time Machine.
When I wanted to create full system restore I couldn't do that. Neither using migration assistant neither with Mountain Lion startup disk. But that was yesterday story. I guess I was one of those unlucky guys who can't do a system restore because some strange reason.
So what is the problem today: They someone says that I should enter a time machine and do a restore of a Macintosh HD. Restore of the whole hard disc.
And I did that.
And now I can't find those files on my Macbook. I can see on disk space that they are on the disc but I can't find them.
Is it because of the different user account or something like that?
It would be really great if I could get a full system restore but it would be also great if I could just see all the files that i restored.
THanks for the help guys!

That's not the right way to restore. Delete the folder named "Macintosh HD" in the Volumes folder. It will take a very long time.
Most likely, some folders were inadvertently excluded from your backups, and as a result you can't restore your data in Recovery, Setup Assistant, or Migration Assistant.
Starting from a fresh installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. You should now be able to enter Time Machine and restore your user data from a snapshot.* I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: Time Machine won't continue your previous snapshot series, but will instead try to begin a new one, starting with a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on your backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set your backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
*If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
Browse Other Backup Disks...
from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
Show Time Machine in menu bar

Can't find files after restore onto new hard drive

Hi,
I just installed a larger hard drive. I saved a disk image to an external drive, made a recovery disk, booted off the recovery disk, and restored the saved disk image. Then I took the new unallocated space, formatted it, and created a mounted volume in a folder on the C: drive (My Documents). I moved everything under My Documents to this new mounted volume. In other words: C:\My Documents is now a mounted volume, not actually in the C: partition.
The trouble is, the files are there but in many instances they aren't findable. It seems like there are caches of directory structures in various places that have to be rebuilt, or there are virtual pathnames (e.g. C:\Users\myusername\Documents) that have to be reset. For example, I have a spreadsheet with references to values in other spreadsheets. It can't find these anymore, even though the pathnames ought to be the same.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks very much.
- bill.

I have only played with XP for sure on changing the location of the my documents folder. It usually involves right clicking on it and going to properties and changing it. Sounds like you may need to copy things around, and then, edit the location on the my documents folder. I am not really sure what your situation is.

Thought I downloaded IPod Nano software but can't find file anywhere?

LR3 can't find files after copying my previous hard drive to a new Lacie Thunderbolt drive

I transferred my LR3 files from my WD hard drive to my new Lacie Thunderbolt drive and now I can only get the preview and it says the file is missing. Is there a setting I need to change that I am not aware of?

You have moved your image files outside of Lr (via your OS) and now Lr has lost the connection to your images. This happens every time you move images outside of Lr. Lr stores in its catalog - among all the other things - also the location of your images, and if the location stored in the catalog is different than the situation onyour hard drive you get the "missing" file message. "Missing" means that Lr does not "know" where your images are.
You have to point Lr to the location of your image files to fix the broken link.
In the Grid View (left side) in the folders panel you should see question marks in front of the folder names. That is Lr's indication that the link to the folders is broken.
Go to the top-most folder in the hierarchy of the folders that show the question mark and right-click it (click with the right-hand button of you rmouse). Select <Find missing folder> in the fly-out menu, navigate to the coresponding folder on your LaCie and click on it. Lr will then also find the sub-folders under that folder on idt own - provided that you have not changed the folder names or the folder structure.
If you have done that you have to "point" Lr to each folder individually with the procedure described above.
BTW you will also get the "missing" message when you open Lr but your external drive is not switched on.

Can't find files after ugrading oi iOS8?

Hi there,
Like many other users I immediately upgraded to iOS8 on all my devices (iPad 2, iPhone 5 and iCloud on PC), everything seemed fine until I tried to access my previously saved documents, I haven't deleted any files so I'm positive they are still stored somewhere.
Can you advise the best way to retrieve these documents?
Kind regards,

Can't find file after downloading on vista

The download box appears and completes download, but the file doesn't appear in the folder I chose.

DH:
After capture was complete, got message saying done, or some such (I forget the exact message). Then the icon which I had previously named in the capture dialog box appeared in the designated bin, but had a red slash through it. On other occasions, I have successfully captured video files from my camcorder; seems to be the same result: capturing ends, the capture screen disappears, it says 'done' or something, the icon appears in the bin, but there's no slash????
In using the Capture window I have followed the FCE manual to the letter (I think!). Put in in and out times, named reel, name, description.... cued up the camcorder to just before the 'in'
time, hit Capture clip button; screen appears, videocam starts, capture progresses.
In the past I have used Capture NOW to do entire tape. That has worked. Am I mis-using the capture clip technique?
Thanks

NL800 can't find sim after the new update! (12220)...

As the supject says: I updated my Nokia lumia 800 today, in Denmark. When udtae was finish there were a simcard problem and no signal. I, of course, tried to restore the phone with Zune, but this is not possible i only get the 801812E0 error. I tried soft and hard teset and whatever, but nothing seems to help, it looks like my simcard is fried :-(
My wife then took the phone to the shop, and they said i had to order a new simcard, but it is not true, because the simcard works just fine if i put it into another phone.
What to do? Please help me..
I don't care about any of the data that was on the phone, i just want it to work again.

Can't find file to sync photos - why not?!?

I recently re-organised my photos on my PC & changed the file location for the photos to sync to my iPod. I reconnected the iPod & it went through to organise the photos in a new photo cache as I would expect...but then when it went to actually move the pictures onto the iPod, I get told 'can't find file' and so it does not sync
I can see the pics in the cache, the location of the photos on iTunes is right, but they don't seem to talk to each other & so nothing happens
anyone seen this before or have any suggestions??
thanks
Ian

ok one more question
The file syncing issue now seems to be resolved & the ipod connects to the PC without too much argument now
the only outstanding issue is that I have seom videos within my pictures. Previously these existed within the Pictures folder, but I could still play them
However now this doesn't happen & in the Pictures folder I just get the first frame of the video, without being able to play them. I don't know why suddenly it won't play them
They are all in mp4 format. as most are home videos I wanted to keep them in the Pictures folder rather than move them into the official Videos section
thanks

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Can not find file must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

can not find file, must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

Hello BadSteve,
It sounds like iTunes seems to have lost track of all your music and you must locate each file individually. I would recommend at this point that you check for 3rd party plugins to see if there are any causing an issue:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
If the issue persists after removing the plugins, I would next try recreating your iTunes library:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I am trying to install itunes 10.5.1 but it can't find file IXP609.TMP where can i get this

i am trying to install itunes 10.5.1 but it can't find file IXP609.TMP so stopping the upgrade. how do i upgrade itunes? I tried uninstalling but it can't find another file 389 so I can neither uninstall nor reinstall. Any thoughts please?

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased that was supposed to be in the cloud. There are several of these, including an entire season. In the store it shows that I purchased these shows when I checked them.

I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased. I then checked and had this problem with an entire TV season I had purchesed. The shows were supposed to be in the cloud. I went to the itunes store, went to the tv shows and they showed that I had purchesed them. They do not show up when I click on purchesed in the store.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.

Upgraded to 6.01 & "can't find file" appears

I upgraded to Ilife 6 and DVD made in V4 open with the message "can't find file". I upgraded to 6.01 and still have this message. How do you fix this problem.
thanks,

teit:
You're getting that message because iDVD uses links to iPhoto's library folder system for the photos in the iDVD project. Since V6 has changed that folder system iDVD has lost it's links and cannot find the files. Unless you only have one or two files to re-link, doing it manually is impossible. iDVD 6.0.1 was supposed to fix that problem but apparently not for you. At this point, you may not be able to recover the project unless you have a backup copy of your V4 library that you can put in the Pictures folder for iDVD to find and use.

IPod on my 3gs can't find files after 4.2 update
