Unable to Sync due to Error Msg: "A folder was specified instead of a file"

When I attempt to sync my iPhone 4, I constantly get the messages listed below. These messages occur even though I have installed iTunes from scratch with no music, apps or photos etc in it, in an attempt to minimise posible sources of error. So the sync is barebones with just my Outlook and bookmarks. While it does sync subsequent to these messages, when I then attempt a resync, it comes up with a new message saying it cannot read the contents and to do a restore. So effectively my phone is now next to useless.
These are the syncing error messages I get:
"The iPhone "Xxx" cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified"
"The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. A folder was specified instead of a file"
"The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found"
Presumably these are distinct Apple created messages that have meaing to tech support. I would appreciate if they could respond and let me know what is causing these error messages. It has nothing to do with Photos or photo cache as reported by some people in my case, as I explained above, these messages are occurring on a fresh install of iTunes, with absolutely no refence of any kind to iTunes or Apple on my C drive prior to its installation.

I also have ALL of these error messages running on Windows7 64bit.
Using my previous pc with windows7 32bit it works fine, with no sync issues. iTunes and win7 64 bit is giving me nothing but a headache.
Un-installing iTunes, re-installing iTunes, resetting iPhone as a new device, nothing works. Any help would be very greatly appreciated! Please!

  • Error: "A folder was specified instead of a file."

    After I upgraded iTunes, I received the "A folder was specified instead of a file." on both my Sony Vaio and Dell. I did something (I don't know what) that stopped it from happening on the Dell, but the message still comes up every time I load iTunes on the Vaio. Both computers are running Vista. When I click OK on the error message, everything runs fine. It is just annoying. Does anybody know how do fix this problem?

    I've made some progress. In iTunes preferences/advanced you can re-set warnings. Repairing Disk Permissions on your boot drive will help when iTunes won't start. In addition to the saving issue, I've suffered through the problem of iTunes creating multiple .tmp files. With iTunes closed you can delete these files.
    I also found these two threads helpful and have turned off local snapshots for Time Machine.

    I click on itunes and this error comes up but it still opens it, "The Disc "Content" cannot be read.  A folder was specified instead of a file".  So what do I do to get rid of it.

    I've encountered this same problem on multiple occasions. Sometimes it will happen for days at a time, then stop for months, then start happening again without rhyme or reason.
    This last bout has been the most severe, as my extensive library of movies (one one external HDD) and music (on another external HDD) wouldn't show up in iTunes. After reimporting and losing the library file again I started digging a bit deeper into solutions.
    I'm a few hours (hopefully it will stick) and many changes into reconstructing a new iTunes library file after having found a useful solution:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/73878/the-itunes-library-file-cannot-be -saved-a-folder-was-specified-instead-of-a-fi (I don't know if you saw the reply to your thread on stackexchange...)
    I tried to choose my old .itl when prompted; it wasn't recognized. I then created a new library in a new folder (iTunes 1, as suggested) and repeated the "choose library" step. The new file was recognized. In the past I would change my media folder location in iTunes preferences depending on whether I was importing music or movies. I've decided to leave that at the default location, but have unchecked the copy to media folder option in preferences. I'm hopeful that manually managing where the media are stored and where iTunes looks for them will permanently solve the problem.
    Take all of this with a grain of salt.... I hope it helps. Let me know if any of my steps are unclear or if you have any questions.

  • Error: the itunes library file cannot be saved a folder was specified instead of a file

    This started popping up after a forced quit because the program was hanging. The library seems to be writing files from CDs to my dedicated external drive and adding them to the library.  The added songs appear and play after program is shut down and reboots. Have repaired disk permissions in disk utilitity but it doesn't seem to fix the error message. Other threads discuss the problem in Windows but not Mac.  Any thoughts?

    After trying a few other remedies, the tech at Apple Care suggested I reinstall Lion.
    Here's the article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1599.html
    I have not had the error message since, even after importing about a dozen CDs and burning a couple playlists.
    This seems to be the fix.

    Hello, Jagatheswary. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The most common cause for this issue would be media or Apps present in your library that is purchased with another Apple ID.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

    I screwed up.  I was trying to SYNC and something (error msg) happened.  I tried to continue the SYNC and now my IPhone is dead.  All I can get when I turn it on is a picture, from bottom  to top, I have an WSB connector, an up arrow, and an iTunes icon.  I can't use the phone.  And it's my only phone.  What can I do to rectify this situation.

    It's telling you to connect to ITunes and restore your phone. This will have to be done with a USB cable and iphone connector that came with your charger.

  • Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document (Premature end of file.)

    Hi folks,
    I am using a cascaded mapping in my OM. I have a graphical mapping followed by the Java mapping. It is a flat file to IDOC mapping. Everything works fine in Dev but when I transport the same objects to QA, the Operation mapping though it doesn't fail in ESR testing tool, gives the following message and there is no output generated for the same payload which is successfully tested in DEV. Please advise on what could be the possible reasons.
    Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document (Premature end of file.)

    kalyan,
    There seems to be an invalid xml payload which causes this error in ESR not generating the tree view. Please find the similar error screenshot and rectify the payload.

  • I have iphoto on my apple airwave. It is needing upated, but I am unable to update due to my exhusband. It was purchased under his itunes account. I can no longer even see my pics. What do I do.

    I have iphoto on my apple airwave. It is needing upated, but I am unable to update due to my exhusband. It was purchased under his itunes account. I can no longer even see my pics. What do I do.

    Can I back up my iPhoto library without being able to get into it? Such a mess.
    Just try what LarryHN recommended. Move the iPhoto application from the Applications folder to the Trash, then go the main page of the App Store, sign into the store menu with your AppleID, enter iPhoto into the Search Field.  When iPhoto is found in the store, look, if you can buy it for free. Probably there will be a "Get" button beside the application. Then you can install it for free.
    Before you run the newly installed iPhoto, make sure you have a backup.  You should really not risk to run a new iPhoto version on your iPhoto library, before you copied the iPhoto Library to a different drive.
    iPhoto needs to convert the library to a different format, and that can go wrong in rare cases, but it happens. You simply need to have a copy of your library before you risk the library upgrade.
