The ipod could not be synced. the required folder could not be found?

Please help
I have tried to restore my itunes but now cant sync keep getting the above error, i have tried all the fixes

Hi,
    What i would  suggest is ;
You disconnect your ipod
you connect it again
then you format your ipod.
after formatting it will reset.
You then select your language and plug it in again.
you may have to restore it again or maybe not.
Then you set your ipod name and sync settings.
You ipod should sync this time no probs.
Try this method and let me know how far it goes.
I just did this and it works perfectly.
I was stuck on this problem for about 4 hrs but i figured this out, if it works see if you can spread this.
Thanks

    Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
    I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
    If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
    Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

  • "the ipod 'name' cannot be updated. the required file could not be found."

    PLEASE can someone help me out on a problem that is infuriating me?? i've not long had my 30GB 5th generation video ipod, and i can't get any photos or video to transfer onto it! when i connect my ipod and itunes opens up, an error message appears saying "the ipod 'name' cannot be updated. the required file could not be found". however, it updates my music no problem..
    i've reset my ipod, restored it and wiped all my music off and then transferred it all back on, downloaded the new ipod updater 28-06-2006 and made sure my ipod has the most recent software etc on there, but still no joy!
    i never had a problem transferring photos onto my old colour photo ipod (4th generation?), so it's really annoying that i have a supposed 'better' ipod now that won't do this for me!
    any help guys? please note, i am no techie - please put any advice in simple terms!

  • Ipod can not be synced the required disc cannot be found

    Oh my God! I'm having the exact problem with my new 30G iPod with video, which I got as a replacement with my warranteed iPod. It resets itself when I sync, or even when I restore the iPod. I was on the phone for two hours with multiple Apple technicians, who couldn't figure out what's wrong and asked me to send it for repair. You know what? They couldn't find anything wrong with it, so they sent it back. Not surprisingly, it still doesn't work. To be sure that it's not my system that's causing this problem, I tried syncing on two computers, two operating systems (WINDOW XP and OS X), and two USB cables. So I'm definitely sure it's not my system, which leads me to think I also got a LEMON! Now I am on the phone yet again, actually am being put on hold for the millionth time. I wonder if michlexi, or anyone with the same problem, was able to find resolution??

  • TS1306 "iPod cannot be synced. Required file could not be found." Help!

  • The ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from.

    The ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    This message appears every time I try and update my ipod or put photos on. I also get this message:
    An error occured while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    WHAT DO I DO???????

    Perhaps check for corrupted files--I had this issue with a messed up track/ file, and that kept killing the sync. More here:

    As for the access privileges part, well, sorry, I have absolutely no idea what that means.
    Good luck!

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
    I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
    Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
    The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
    An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
    Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
    I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me out. 

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
    Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

  • The iPod "iHazen" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access....

    privileges for this operation."
    When I attempt to plug my iPod into my macbook, it begins syncing then this happens:
    First, iTunes tells me the default "It could damage your ipod to disconnect it without ejecting it" message.
    Then I get:
    "The iPod "iHazen" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    I click ok. I then get :
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
    In small print it says:
    "iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your music folder and the folders in your Music Folder, then try copying this file again"
    Basically, I've tried messing around with the Permissions on a bunch of folders, I've lurked google, and multiple forums including this one for an answer. One had something to do with iPhoto, but my iPod does not even sync my photos. I've obviously tried restoring the iPod, and reinstalling iTunes...
    so if anyone, has any other types of ideas.. I'd love to hear them.
    Apparently this happens to every type of iPod, including iPhones... and no one has a solution. Music won't even stay on my ipod after it syncs like a gig and half. It doesn't even stop at a certain location every time. I've deleted the files it stops on to no avail.
    Please help

    I've been having the same problem! It's so frustrating!!
    Mine was starting to sync, then i got the same messages about "not enough access privileges" but i also got a message that said I improperly removed the device -which i didn't- and that has been giving me a lot of problems, like my ipod freezing and having to just take it out, reset it and reboot computor. The last time I tried it it would start syncing but take FOREVER , like get stuck on one thing.
    I, as well, have tried almost everything: rebooting computer, uninstalling & reinstalling itunes, restoring and resetting ipod to factory settings (multiple times!), making sure ipod is fully charged, enabling disk use, checking and changing ALL the permissions and applying to all enclosed fields, installing and updating all new software, repaired disk utilities...I don't know!!!
    I think i will try what manbartlett suggested about enabling disk use AND putting ipod into disk mode and then verify/repair? maybe try another USB cord as well.
    I'm just not sure if its my computor and the application and files or if its just the ipod itself...
    I've tried calling the apple hot-line but was so frustrated because the connection was muffled and the person was foreign and no offense but it kind of makes it hard to understand!!
    Did doing all that help at least for a while?
    any more help would be awesome!

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • When I updated the software on my ipod 4 touch, many podcasts were erased. When I synced the ipod, they were erased from the ipod also. The current itunes does not allow me to go back to these dates (a few months) and re-download? Can I? and prevent this?

    When I upgraded the software on my ipod touch4, many podcasts were deleted from itunes. Of course, when I synced the ipod, they were deleted from the ipod as well. Apparently the current version of itunes will not let me go back to these earlier episodes (just a few months), in a podcast that I have been subscribed to, and re-download them. Is there a way to do that? and, how can I prevent this from happening again?

    Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!
