ITunes error: The required file is locked.

I'm getting an iTunes popup error message:
'The iPod "Mark's iPod" cannot be synced. The required file is locked.'
Any ideas on clearing this guys? I've tried uninstalling iTunes, reseting the iPod, checking file permissions in the iTunes Music folder, everything. No dice.
On a positive note, it DOES still seem to sync, but it leaves iTunes in a messy state that needs a logout to shut down properly.

Hello marktjeffrey,
Do you have your iPod set up to sync photos or anything other than music? If so, try disabling those, and see if that allows your iPod to sync error free. That way you know the problem lies with something other than the music.
Many others who have ran into this situation, found that the problem dealt with
incorrect file permissions on photos they were trying to sync to their iPod. I would double check permissions and such on everything you are trying to sync to your iPod.
Hope this helps.

  • "iPod cannot be synced. The required file is locked."

    I'm sure there are several threads about this, but none have produced an answer that works for me.
    I have an iPod Touch 1G and iTunes 8.0.1.11, though I don't think that matters. I should probably ask this on a Windows XP website, but I thought maybe I could get some results here.
    Basically my deal is, when I plug in my Touch and let it try to sync (or hit sync manually), I get the error message "The iPod (iPod name) cannot be synced. The required file is locked."
    Ex: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/8393/20901666.png
    (Also, manually drag-and-drop method of music in the library freezes iTunes.)
    Now, people say to go to your iTunes music folder, usually the one under "My Music", right click and uncheck the "read only" box. I've done that, hit OK, and brought up the Properties again, and it has been re-checked without my doing.
    Could this be iTunes's doing? Or am I doing something wrong? Or should I go ask Windows users?
    Another little bit of info: This only started happening today. I have done nothing different than I have before.

    Alright,
    How did upgrading to the latest version of iTunes go? Did it help any? No, dang! sorry getting ahead of myself I don't even know if it has or not. I have been racking my brain trying to recreate this issue but am having no luck. I did however find a computer running xp sp2 to do some test and such on it.
    Here are some more ideas that my wife and I came up with for you to try,
    1. In iTunes go to (Help)/(Run Diagnostics) in the menu bar (In my opinion you don't need to do the test for (cd/dvd) or (network) but that is up to you. After which I request that you copy and past the report like so:

    Just to see what it comes up with, I don't know if the diag. will fix any issues, since I've never needed to use it but it looks like it will give you a good report of whats going on. Go Apple! *and yes with the report feel free to block out any information you don't want to share.
    2. I was reading around on the internet and I've found that a lot of the times its something simple to fix some of these issues like the one about the time getting messed up when windows xp goes to sleep. So Here is a simple idea to see if it helps.
    Go to (edit)/(preferences) in the menu bar Click on the (Devices) tab and try clicking (Reset Sync History) button. Then try Syncing again. Don't know if it will help but hey worth a shot right?
    3. My wife was looking around on the internet and she found a bunch of info on files that are corrupt not being able to sync, since I don't have a corrupt file and am at a lost in how to make one. I was unable to test this theory.
    However, the information suggested that it may be related to a picture file. so I would look into the (photos) tab in the iPod touch's Summery page and un-check one picture folder at a time and sync to see if it is related to a particular image folder.
    Also beside of the image folder it was noted that some errors are accruing with outlook syncing, so you might also look into the syncing of your contacts and emails in the (info) tab of the iPod Touch's Summery page.
    After those too I would look into music that you have just stared to try and sync and try eliminated one at a time again to see if there is one particular file to be the error.
    *In note of that it is suggested to only do one at a time, since its always best to do a process of elimination.
    4. And last have you tried backing it up in iTunes and then Restoring it. To see if a hard reset like this fixes the issue?
    Here is Apple's knowledge base article on it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    *Sorry that its such a long post I just want to save you time waiting for me to get back to you.

  • Sync problem: "The iPod cannot be updated. The required file is locked."

    Hi,
    I upgraded to iTunes 7.0. First thing I did with it was to upgrade the firmware of the iPod to 1.2.1. The model is a MA079NF (20GB, iPod Photo, color screen), have used it problem free for about year now.
    After that I wanted to sync my Library and a popup showed "The iPod "mypod" cannot be updated. The required file is locked." After clicking ok (only option) the syncing continues, but in the end the iPod contains 2174 files (~10GB out of 20GB free space), while my library holds 2187 checked files. Also none of my photos are copied to the iPod.
    After that, upgrading iTunes to 7.0.1.8 did not help either. The problem is the same. Resetting the iPod to factory defaults and subsequent re-syncing did not help either, only helped me waste an hour .
    The error message is silly, it leaves me only with questions:
    Which file is locked, where is it locked (on my PC or on the iPod), in what way is it locked, why is it locked, by whom is it locked and how do I unlock it?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Best wishes,
    Henk.

    Hi,
    After the exceptional help of the Apple people (i.e. nothing, nada, zero, null, no reaction, silence and so on, and so forth) I decided to take matters in my own hands again. Using the superb FileMon tool of sysinternals.com I found out the syncing of my iPod stopped while traversing my photo cache.
    The solution was simple: Remove the directory "\iPod Photo Cache" completely (I made a backup, of course).
    After that, iTunes built the cache from scratch and syncing was working properly again.
    <sarcasm> Apple, thanks again for all your support. </sarcasm>
    Best wishes nonetheless,
    Henk van der Laak

  • Phone cannot be synced. "The required file is locked" - Please help!

    Since I downloaded the new version if iTunes, my phone will not sync properly. I've narrowed it down to a issue specifically with syncing photos.
    I've restarted the phone, restarted the computer, checked for additional upgrades. I have a PC, not a Mac, so no iPhotos. iTunes worked great before, with no syncing issues.
    Now, when I try to sync -- it syncs everything but pictures. The error message says "The iPhone cannot be synced. The required file is locked". I've tried different picture folders, I've tried removing "read only" protection on the photos, I've tried renaming the photo files so there are no spaces or other symbols like underscores. I've tried removing all pictures from the phone, but now, no pictures will sync, even the very same picture folders that were previously on the phone.
    I've searched topics, and so far, haven't found anything similar. Can someone please help me? or advise what else I can do? or who I can contact???
    Thank you!
    Tabitha

    As a side note -- it appears that it may be an issue because my music and photo files are all saved on an external hard drive.
    I copied a photo file and put it on my desktop - and the photos synced.
    However -- the music files were on the external hard drive and those synced fine with no errors. Pictures on the external hard drive, did not.
    Prior to the iTunes upgrade, everything synced fine from my external hard drive.
    Anyone?

  • Cannot render files.  The following message appears: file error; the specified file is locked

    Suddenly I cannot render any project in Final Cut 6, because a message reads: file error: the specified file is locked.  Any clues on what to do?

    The reason we suggest searching is there are too many possible causes and unlikely answers and FCP6 was a long time ago.

  • File error: The specified file i locked. when i am trying to render a clip on the time lin e

    WHen i want to render a clip on the timeline it tells me this message"file error: The specified file i locked."drive and file and they are not locked.
    What setting do i check for this
    because up till now the program was rendering all clips on the time lne
    I have checked the the drives and files and they are unlocked.
    please advise
    i have to render the clip from the timeline as n export then bring it back in
    annoying !

    Before I ask you to check permissions on the drive you save your material and output files, try creating a new project, copy everything from the old one in it (highlight-copy-paste in new project) and save as with a new name. Does this work?

  • File error: The specified file is locked - HELP!

    hello,

    File error: The specified file is locked
    i went to the project and "get info" and saw that the file is locked...i also noticed that every other file in my computer is locked as well.

    thanks,

    Paste the text that Neil posted,
    *tell application "Finder"*
    *set locked of every item of entire contents of home to false*
    *end tell*
    into the white area under the Record and Run buttons. Then click Compile, then the Run button.

  • File error - the specified file is locked, Final cut pro

    file error - the specified file is locked, Final cut pro

    I usually get this when I try to save a project and it isn't stored on my HD(usually external HD or RAID). Sometimes I can do a save as and save it to the desktop.
    Sometimes everything is cleared up with a restart. It seems like it is a FCP7/OS developmental need which is mute because 7 is no longer supported by Apple.

  • File error: the specific file is locked

    I got the error 'File error: the specific file is locked', when trying to render a project in FCP 7. The rushes and scratch disk are on an external hard-drive. I then went on to finder and I am unable to put anything new onto this external hard-drive. I am now trying to back up everything off the hard-drive and will go to disk utility and try repair it and I have saved the FCP project elsewhere.
    However there is a lot of footage to back up (probably should have done this already), does anyone know of a quick work-around for this or would could be the cause to save it from happening in the future?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    try moving your scratch disk in fcp system preferences to another drive.   Could just be a problem with fcp being unable to write to the drive.

  • CAN NOT SYNC PHOTOS (Error: "The Required file cannot be found")

    Hey All,
    So i got a an iPod Touch today from the Apple Soho Store in NYC. Very Excited.
    I am getting an error though when syncing my photos. I created an album for the iPod Touch and am only syncing that.
    The error that I get is:
    *"The iPod "My iPod Name" cannot be synced. The Required file cannot be found."*
    Things I've tried:
    - Not syncing the photos: Everything works fine
    - Not syncing that album, but another album: Same Error
    - Read up on the same problem on the iPhone: The only solution that I saw that didn't work on some iPhones was to clear the Keywords. I WILL NOT CLEAR MY KEYWORDS.
    I am using the most update-to-date versions of iTunes, OS X, and iPhoto 08'.
    Please help!
    Oh and by the way if you know how to make it Disk-Enabled. Please tell me. Apple is lame for taking that feature away from the iPod.

    Hello,
    Explore iphoto library (right click, "show package contents"). There is a folder called iPod Photo Cache. You need to delete the contents of that folder dragging them to the trash. Then sync your iphone again.
    Best,

  • Error: "The required file cannot be found."

    When attempting to sync my entire iPhoto library to my iPhone, iTunes reports the following error:
    *The iPhone "<name of my phone>" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.*
    ...and no photos sync. I've learned that if I narrow the syncing down to certain photo albums, they sync. So I suspect there are some bad files in my library. Weird thing is, my entire iPhoto library syncs just fine to the Apple TV, but the same library errors when syncing to my wife's original iPhone.
    Anyone else seen this and know of a fix? I started to cut my library into chunks, attempting to discover which chunk wouldn't sync. This not only proved time consuming, but very unreliable. One moment a chunk will sync and the next it won't. Frustrating to diagnose.
    Any ideas?? Thanks for any tips. I'm using iPhoto '08 v7.1.4, iPhone 3G v2.0.2, and iTunes 7.7.1

    Hey Greg,
    Try deleting the iPod photo Cache folder which is located in the iPhoto library folder.

  • ITunes Error Message required files are missing - can't run

    Plugged my iPod Nano in and my iTunes gives error "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.  Please reinstall iTunes".  Tried to reinstall iTunes and get same error. 

    Old question. I solved the problem myself.

  • File Error: The specified file is locked

    Anyone ever seen this error message when trying to save a project?
    I'm working in FCP 6.0.2, on a MacPro running OS 10.5.1, and I cannot save any projects. Not old ones, not Saved-as, not even new, blank, untitled ones.
    I repaired permissions, trashed preferences, checked the designated folders for locked status... I can't figure it out. And, needless to say, I can't work if I can't save... help!

    Well, this isn't going to help anyone with the same problem, but it seemed to fix itself. I was on the phone with Apple Pro Video support, and I went to do a save in order to retrieve the exact terminology that I was getting on the error, and the dang thing went ahead and saved with no problems.
    Oy.

  • The iPod "____" cannot be updated. The required file is locked.

    I get this when I attempted to sync some photos to my iPod. I have seen numerous threads elsewhere about this simalar problem. I know that I could simply refresh it but I don't have the bandwidth (read: Dialup) to download the FW again, or the HD space to backup other files that I have on there.

    apparentially something set the folders as "read-only" but I was unaware of this change.
