"The iPhone "Dani's iPhone" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be f

Can anyone PLEASE shed some light and - hopefully - help me... I used to be able to sync my iPhone with iTunes no problem... dead easy.
However, for some unknown reason - total mystery - all of a sudden it's started to 'refuse me'. Now, when I connect up, the things seems to go all through the motions of syncing, but at the end I finally get the following message:
"The iPhone "Dani's iPhone" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found".
Funny thing is that after disconnecting, the thing does actually seem to have successfully synced!!!
It's a mystery, a puzzle... can anyone help? I don't know what is meant by "The required file cannot be found". What's happening?
Has anyone else encountered this problem and have they managed to solve it? If so, please, PLEASE... HOW?
Thanks,
Dani

Hello NottiCaldo,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would start by trashing your iPod's Photo cache as described in this Apple support document.

  • IPod cannot be synced. Required file not found?

    I havent had any trouble syncing my ipod until last week when i purchased a song. When i dragged the song to a playlist on my ipod, it appeared grey in my playlist (because it was still loading) and then disappeared. I repeated this until i gave up and I reported this as an issue to itunes. When i tried again it worked and i thought maybe the problem had fixed itself, but i tried to add a CD to my ipod a few days ago and it only synced half of the songs. Now when i try to sync the leftover songs an error box pops up saying "The iPod (name of ipod) cannot be synced. Required file not found."
    Some songs will sync perfectly normal, some load but disappear, some eventually just sync, and some won't sync at all. Has anyone had this problem/ can anyone help SOLVE it? please and thank you!!!

    Try this:
    Let your iPod charge up.
    Attempt to sync a large play list.
    When the iPod shuts down and you get the error message, quickly click through the dialog boxes on iTunes so when the iPod comes back up iTunes will attempt to sync again.
    When the sync starts again after the iPod reboot, click the little X in the bar that shows how many tracks have been loaded. This will stop the sync and you'll be able to eject your iPod.
    After it's been ejected, unplug the connector from the iPod and see what happens to the battery indicator. Mine goes down to almost gone and red - then after a few minutes it comes up to about 2/3 strength - but it should be full after being fully charged and just syncing a few hundred tracks.

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • Unable to sync iPad; Required File Cannot be Found

    I'm not able to sync my iPad to my Mac. Each time I try to sync I receive the message "The iPad cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found".
    I tried the Restore option in iTunes, but continue to have to same issue. I've been syncing the iPad almost every week since I got it and just started about the same time as iTunes was upgraded.
    Any ideas on how to fix it?

    It seems that your iPod/iPhone/iPad photo cache got corrupted.
    Go to your iPhoto library
    Right click and choose show package contents
    Delete the folder "iPod Photo Cache"
    Close iPhoto Contents folder
    Restart iTunes and re-sync. This should solve the problem.
    Your iPhoto library will be re-optimised for syncing to your preferred device.
    Hopes this solves your problem.

  • Iphone 4 cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found

    Tried to sync my iphone 4, but this error comes up.  Cannot be synced.  Required file cannot be found. Please help.

    The problem is itunes lacks the permission to get into the folder that it defaults the library where the items have to be in order to be synced to your device. So what you need to do is to go into my computer and click on your local disk( usually its C.) and without clicking anything else right click and it will bring up a menu go down to new and add a new folder by the name of itunes media or something. Once you have the folder, open itunes and go up to edit at the top and prefereances. go to the advanced tab and the first thing will be an area showing the location of your itunes media folder. That is the location itunes lacks permission to get to, so what you are going to need to do is go to click change, that will bring up a location for you to change it to. At that point simply find the folder that you created which should be right inside your local disk(not inside any other folders) then just put all your stuff you want sent to itunes here and you are set.

  • I am having trouble synching picture to my iPad - getting error msg - required file cannot be found

    When trying to synch my photos to my ipad or iphone -  I get an error msg that says require file cannot be found.. pls help!!

    Some things to try in this order:
    1) Make sure you designated the correct folders for music, etc.
    2) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons on the iPad until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
    3) Make sure all antivirus and firewalls are off.
    4) Delete and reinstall itunes. (Back up the itunes folder first.)
    Hope this helps...

  • When Isync my iPhone with my mac desktop I get this error message, "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". Can anyone help?

    When I connect my iPhone (ios 4.3.3) to my Desktop Mac I get an error message. "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." This happened while I was downloading photos from iPhoto.

    Close "iPhoto" if it is open. Open the "Pictures" folder and right-click on "iPhoto Library." Select "Show Package Contents." Right-click the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, select "Move to Trash" and sync your iPhone. The error message should no longer appear.
    if that doesn't work,
    uninstall itunes and download the lastest version

  • I went to sync my iPhone 4 as usual and when it got to the end stage of the sync where it sync the photos from iPhoto, I get a message pop up that says, "The iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." What do I do?

    I went to sync my iPhone 4 as usual with my iTunes account on my MacBook Pro and when it got to the end stage of the sync where it syncs with iPhoto, I get a pop up message that says, "The iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." What do I do?

    Hi. I am having the same problem.
    I have updated iPhone software and carrier settings, OSX Lion on the comp and in step 4 of 4 during photo sync about half way through, the error message comes up and now my pics are gone from the phone. I did empty the cache and the problem still persisted. I changed cables, I restored the phone and synced from the back up and even restored and created a new phone identity, still no love.
    I am puzzeled, any suggestions?
