My ipod says that it cannot update my ipod because the required files....

cannot be found.
PLEASE HELP

I just dealt with the same problem. None of the answers people gave to the problem worked!
Whatever it is that you're trying to put into your iPod... make sure that the file is located in your "My Music" file first.
Basically, when you get that message double check and if what you selected isn't in "My Music" drag and drop into it and try again.
I hope that helped!
I know... so frustrating.

  • I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but it will not allow me to save it a second time as an excel file.  It says that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another

    I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file.  I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem.  Thank you. Jeff

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

  • I'm trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes but the error message says that it can't be synced because the required disck can't be found. What does this mean?

    I'm trying to sync my ipod classic with my itunes library, but I get a message saying it can't be synced because the required disk can't be found. How do I find what this disk is? I have over 2,000 songs in my itunes library but only 497 sync. Help!

    Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

    Hello Sunnymalik1,

  • Photo sync error- can't update because the required file cannot be found

    After setting preferences for updating photos, i get the error-
    "can't update ipod because the required file cannot be found"
    It seemes to update all other stuff like music and podcasts, but will not update photos.
    This is driving me crazy!
    Any help would be appreciated

    The same problem exists with the German Windows version of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
    The error message says nothing!
    I wasted a lot of time checking the photo files but there was nothing wrong.
    Then I monitored the hd-access to find out WHAT a file is missing: it seems to be about the cache files of the program that isn't orientated right about it's own files!!! It seems to be a big fat bug!!!
    The hint here really helps but it also means that all compressed files will be deleted and compressed again. That takes hours of time and lots of GB temp-space on the drives.
    I think Apple should deliver a bug-free version of iTunes as soon as possible. And Apple should talk to the customers for that they must not waste their time because of bugs in Apple software.
    Will Apple read this?
    I can't find an email-adress to send it directly to apple.

    Hi antiklady,
    I see that you may be having an issue with compatibility of iTunes when connecting your iOS device. This sort of issue can arise if you have two versions of iTunes installed on your computer, which I feel may be the case. Here is an article that can tell you how to identify the version of iTunes that you have open:
    iTunes: How to find which version you are using - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201521
    If the version of iTunes that is opened is not the version you are required to use for the iOS device in question, try searching through your computer or applications folder to see if there may be two versions of iTunes installed on your computer. Then, uninstall the version that is incompatible using these steps:
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

    Here is the article about it:
    iPhone and iPod: Liquid damage is not covered by warranty
    Since we are all users here just like you, we can't do anything about decisions made by Apple.
    You'll have to pay for a replacement:
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5
    $229
    iPhone 4S
    $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
