Need Help ASAP! TV Show won't sync, required disc not found

I need some help!!! I am trying to sync a TV SHow to my iPod and I can't get it to work. For some reason in iTunes, I have to completely unplug and plug in my iPod anytime I want it to sync, pressing the sync button does not work, neither does pressing the apply button after checking the TV show that I want to sync. SInce I don't have to update any settings for music, this isn't a problem, I just unplug my iPod and plug it back in and it syncs automatically. The error message I get when trying to sync Shows, or videos or anything where you have to update is Can't sync iPod required disc not found. If someone could respond to this right away, I would appreciate it as we are going to be traveling today, and I would love to have something to watch during my four hour flight!

Ipod nano 4th generation won't sync 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.

That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?

IPod Classic 120GB cannot sync, "Required disk not found"

Somebody, please help! iPod Classic 120GB charcoal, current OS as of about a week ago (won't stay synced long enough for me to see what it is), iMac 24" 10.6.4, iTunes 10.0.1. Let me know if you need any more info and I'll try to provide it.
Everything was absolutely fine until I updated to the newest version of iTunes. Now, when I plug in my iPod, it says it's connecting then jumps straight to the "Okay to disconnect" screen. It never shows up in iTunes at all. After doing this repeatedly, I unplugged it then immediately plugged it in again before it had finished the progress bar on the "Okay to disconnect" screen, and it finally showed up in iTunes, but it gave me an error of "iPod was not properly disconnected" then "cannot sync - required disk not found" and disconnected itself again.
I tried resetting it (menu+center buttons) while it was plugged in, and this did nothing. iTunes still didn't recognize it at all.
About a week ago, I followed some instructions somewhere and toggled the "enable disk use" option (I usually keep it unchecked) then was able to restore it. The songs were added back in a bizarre order (not alphabetical, not chronological, songs within an album added out of order, jumping from artist to artist, etc.) and I had to sync it again for three random albums that it missed the first time, but once everything was in again it was fine. I haven't added any new songs or playlists to my iTunes library since then (just changed a few ratings and I like to keep track of play counts), but when I tried to sync it again this morning, I got exactly the same errors.
The only difference this time is that it alerted me that one song in my library (a song I happen to like very much) could not be synced. The song still shows up on my iPod, but will not play. It still appears and plays in iTunes on the computer.
The iPod works perfectly in day-to-day use and is a little over a year old. I take very good care of it (my previous iPod is four or five years old and still works fine) and it has never had any problems before this. It has almost 100GB worth of music (no other media, just music), which makes it pretty annoying to have to restore it more than absolutely necessary. What is going on here and is there some way to fix it that will last longer than a week?

Hi, yeah I'm experiencing the same issue as everyone else with a 120gb iPod classic using iTunes 10.1.1 (4). Started about the time of OSX 10.6.5 update and hasn't been resolved with the OSX 10.6.6 update.
iPod attempts to Sync but now quits without even appearing on the computer let alone iTunes.
I have ESET security but quitting the app doesn't help.
I also have an iPhone 3Gs and that's still syncing fine (thank heavens), via a different library.
I've since managed to wipe the iPod clean (back to factory settings) as forced to do so by following the instructions in another post to remove the iPod Photo Cache. I then moved my iTunes folder to another directory for safe keeping.
I set up a clean iTunes database thinking my old one might have been corrupted. To do this you open iTunes from scratch while holding down the option key and select "Create Library". iTunes then remembers the last library created whenever you open the app.
When I am able to see the iPod summary screen (a rare occurrence now) I see that "enable disk use" is checked ok - this has been noted as a problem in previous forums. So that's not the issue.
Actually the iPod doesn't even stay connected to my 2010 unibody MacBook Pro when the iPod is switched over to disc mode. It immediately goes into "OK to Disconnect".
So I now have a clean iPod, and clean iTunes - all empty and essentially useless!
Anybody out there with any ideas? Plllleeeeeeeese?

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 won't sync. File not found.

I got my iPod touch right after Christmas and it's been fine.
In the last week, however, it won't sync to my computer. When I plug it in and try, I get the following error: "The iPod "iPod touch" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
Please help!

Need help asap! iPhone won't turn on

I have an iPhone 3g and I decided to get a new battery. I installed it myself cuz I was out of warranty with Apple. But after I put it back together I get the Apple logo for 60 seconds after I hold the power button or plug it in and then it turns off.
I tried doing a restore but I keep getting error 1600 or 23. I need my phone but I still don't know what's wrong! Anybody with any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Those error codes generally indicate a hardware issue with your device. So, it would appear you've done something wrong or broken something when you installed your battery. Impossible for anyone here to tell you what that may be without physically looking at your phone. My suggestion would be to google third-party repair shops in your area & have them look at it.

Download the iTunes installer from:

Put the full text of any error message in your next post including error numbers.
If you prefer you can paste an image of the error into you post.
Press alt prtscrn while the focus is in the error message, then use the little camera at the top of the forum editor to insert the image. (I hope alt prtscrn works in XP, I can't test it myself).

My photos will not sync, "required file not found"

I already deleted the iPod Photo Cache (twice) and this did not fix my problem!

Yes, thank you. My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that.
Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

Objects outside of workspace show in SWF... Need help ASAP!

When I export a flash movie (.swf file)And play it on full screen, the objects that are outside of the workspace show. Can anyone tell me how to fish this problem? need help ASAP! Thanks :]

If what follows isn't sufficient for you to figure out, you'll have to spend some time learning how to work with Flash. While you'll often get help solving problems in these forums, it's less likely you will get tutoring services. Google is a very good resource for tutorials.
To create a mask you draw a shape to the size you want and place it on a layer above all the content you want to mask. A mask is actually not well named because masks normally hide things, while in the graphics world, masks define the are where things are shown... so when you apply a mask to something, only what is under the mask shows. To finalize, you right click on the label area of the mask's layer and select Mask from the menu that appears. You may have to drag lower layers up towards the mask layer to get them included, whicxh is why I mentioned creating the rest of the content as a movieclip (a single layer object).
To control the visibility of objects you set their visibility to true or false (AS2: mcName._visible = true (or false), AS3:mcName.visible = true (or false)).
To create a frame around the stage, add a new layer atop everything and draw a rectangle big enough to hide all the content you don't want showing that is off the stage. Then draw a rectangle that is the same size as the stage on top of that first rectangle, placing it over the stage, and then deselect anything that is selected. Then reselect the smaller rectangle you just drew and delete it. The larger rectangle is now framing your stage.

My Curve 9300 lost service need help ASAP

I lost all serivce on my blackberry curve 9300 and the only way I get service is if I go outside my house. Sometimes I get service in my house but it's for 5 seconds and then I get "searching for network" then it goes to "SOS" I need help ASAP.

My carrier won't do anything about it because I'm not an authorized user of the account which is stupid. I wasn't having a problem with service for about a year and yesterday my service just cuts out for no apparent reason.
Hello...well, that's a bit disconcerting...aiding and abetting what could be an unethical use of service...but I'm hopeful that there are further details that mitigate that suspicion. In any event, review this KB for perhaps helpful information:
KB03448 Network status indicator shows "SOS" on the BlackBerry smartphone
It is possible that they have a tower out, and you now are receiving service from a more distant tower, which does not have adequate signal strength to work through the walls of your house. But, sadly, there is no way for you to actually find out if such is the case or not.
Good luck!

IPad deactivated. Need help asap!!!

My daughter deactivated my husband's iPad. The screen says that it's deactivated and that I need to connect it to iTunes. The problem is, that it's connected and a little box appears saying "To allow access, please respond on your iPad...". How am I going to respond if its not working?! Need help asap!!!!

Is that the computer that it's normally synced to ? With iOS 7 you need to need 'trust' computer that it's connected to, if the iPad is disabled you won't be able to trust it, you will need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset the iPad - there are instructions towards the bottom of this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 . You can then restore/resync the content to it.

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.
