ipod canot be synced the required file cannot be found

Hi folks. Am REALLY struggling here and hoping for some help. I too am constantly getting the 'iPhone can not be synced' message since upgrading to a new MacBook and trying to sync my iPhone 3GS. Have tried updating to latest iPhone software and hasn't helped. Have tried all the stuff mentioned above (dumping that file etc) and no luck. When I go to my sync page for photos, even if i un-tick the sync photos option altogether, this error keeps appearing. Very odd and very frustrating. Can't sync - seems to stall at last step of the process every time.
I'm guessing it is photo related as the pics on my iPhone are now all lowres and blurry, and it is asking for sync to iTunes to get high res images onto the phone.
Also have problem going the 'other way'! WHen I go to iPhoto on Mac and try to download new photos taken on iPhone.. I keep getting the message 'The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognized format."
help please

"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!

Hello WGT52,
It sounds like this error message is preventing you from syncing your content to the iPod. I would recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

The ipod "ipod touch" cannot be synched the required file is not found

When i try to sync my ipod touch it goes through the motions but when it tries to sync photo's i get the message about saying that the ipod can't be synched as the required file is not found. 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.

When i sync my iphone i get the error message. The iphone "patrick's iphone" can not be synced. the required disk can not be found.

when i sync my iphone i get this message. The iphone "patricks iphone" can not be synced. The required disk space can not be found.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

U2 Ipod says Canot be synced The required folder can not be foud?

Any one experience this if so how do i fix it?

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

"the ipod name cannot be synced. the required file cannot be found"

Hey
Ive searched support up and down and cannot find anything useful. Ive restarted the comp, the ipod, restored the ipod, checked for updates, reinstalled itunes and so forth, but Im coming up with this. After I get this my ipod freezes up and wont do anything. Any info or suggestions? Thanks.

Try trashing your iPod's Photo Cache and then resyncing your iPod with iTunes. See this article for information on determining the location of your iPod's Photo Cache.

Ipod can not be synced the required disc cannot be found

Can anyone tell me how to solve the error:
"ipod can not be synced the required disc can not be found.
I found a similiar post, but then lost it when my computer froze up
and now I can't locate it.
Thanks

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??

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.

My iPod cannot be synced because the required file could not be found. How do I fix this problem?

Peace. My name is Free. Thanks in advance for any help u can offer. My iPod cannot be synced because the required file could not be found. How do I fix this problem?

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

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

When Syncing, got error msg "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found", When Syncing, got error msg "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found"

i've upgraded to IOS5 and also my iMac to latest iTunes.
i now found Itunes frequently issued a error during syncing "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found". i have connected the iphone4 to my iMac using USB (i.e., wired). but without doing any thing further, i go to iTunes and just hit the button to "SYNC" the iphone4 again, it will work.
so, why am i getting that error usually first time around when i connect the iphone?

IPhone can not be synced. The required file can not be found

I got the message that "iPhone can not be synced. The required file could not be found." I suspected it had to do with photos because it was always in the middle of that when the error message came up. Re started everything. Unchecked photo sync and it synced except I would like to have the photos sync. Any ideas on why it won't sync when I check the option to sync photos to phone?
