The Ipad "WW Ipad" cannot be syned. The required file cannot be found.

What file? Why! Please I just want to use my ipad2.
This error message: "The Ipad "WW Ipad" cannot be syned. The required file cannot be found."
...appears at the very end of the syncing process.
Any ideas? How do i fix it? Have you had this problem?

Hi,
If you are using a Windows based computer, try disabling anti virus / security software and turn off the Firewall.
Then try syncing.
If your iPad is not recognized under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window when connected, follow the instructions here.

Earlier today a driver was automatically put on my windows 7 based laptop and it seemed to be from apple and was downloaded just as i plugged in my ipod touch ...... can anyone help please ?
I have an iphone and ipad2 and have synched them both today without any problems .

Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder usually resolves the problem ofr its location see:
iTunes: Photo sync creates iPod Photo Cache folder
You may have more than one folder and you need to delete all of them.

how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

Does anyone know what to do after the IOS 5 update when it wont sync your music or apps or even register with itunes saying device is not connected/ the required file is not found?

My iphone after the update to IOS 5 (which i had problems updating first anyway) wont even register with itunes saying its still half way through a restore when its not i have already restored it 4 times but still wont sync music or apps or finish restoring my phone because it always comes up device is not connected or the required file is not found?
Any ideas?? ive gone the 02 shop and they just said to keep trying to restore it but its really not solving anything.

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

Error : The iphone cannot be synced. The required file cant be found

I am getting this error when i try to sync my photo's from iphoto. Never had this issue but its not syncing any photo's any suggestions or cures?
Use iphone 3GS with MBP (late 2008)

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.

Getting authorization error message: Required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message. HELP!

I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

Whenever I try to sync either my iPhone or iPad to iTunes, I keep getting the message, "the iPhone (or iPad) cannot be synched. The required file cannot be found." My music will sync but none of my videos or photos will. Help me, please!

The iPad cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.

My 1Pad2 synced fine for a few weeks, now I get "The iPad cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." Through process of elimination, I've determined that it is a problem with the photos portion. When I uncheck "sync photos", everything else syncs fine.

Try deleting the iPod photo cache.

IPad stops syncing when 'Reconciling Photos'. The 'required file' cannot be found

When attempting to sync my iPad, I get an error message when it's 'Reconciling Photos'. It says "The iPad "xxx's iPad" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found".
It stops the sync and, since this is at the very beginning of the sync, nothing else gets synced (music, apps, etc).
Help!

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the sync and see if the photos and other content then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

ITunes cannot sync to the AppleTV because of a problem on your computer. The required file cannot be found.

I have two first Gen Apple TV's and a new MAC Book Pro. I have about 600GB of music and 40GB of photos located on an external hard drive (Western Digital). In the past, I have not run into any issues when syncing music or photos. Recently, I get an error message "iTunes cannot sync to the AppleTV because of a problem you your computer. The required file cannot be found." I noticed this after I added a few folders to my photo folder, which the AppleTV is pointed to for accessing and syncing my photos. I went to the AppleTV to look to see if the new folders were in the photos, but they were not listed and obviously not syncing from the hard drive to the AppleTV.
For trouble shooting, I disconnected my upstairs AppleTV from iTunes, then reconnected, pointed the AppleTV to the applicable music and phots folders on my external hard drive. The music synced fine, but the photos did not sync. I got the same error message.
Does anyone have any advice to what the issue may be??
I read some posts similar to mine and the referenced deleting the iPhoto file cache. I did not try this as I do not use iPhoto as the source for my photos syncing to my AppleTV's.
Thanks - Scott1508

Looks like my WD Hard Drive may have an issue. I pointed the Apple TV to the photos folder on my other WD Hard Drive, which is formatted for MAC and it synced the photos fine. I had never had an issue with the first WD Hard Drive, but it was never formatted for MAC.
Not sure if this could be the issue???
I am considering getting an Apple Time Capsule (2 TB) for my back up, but also need a second back up for all my music and photos.
Does anyone have advice on moving to the Time Capsule as my main back up and keeping a WD as the secondary back up??
