ITunes says, "The iPod cannot be synced because it cannot be found" when it tries to sync the tracks.

When I connect my iPod Touch by USB to my MacBook with iTunes open, iTunes automatically starts syncing, as it should. When it gets to Step 3 of 5 it says "Determining tracks to sync," and then just as the status message changes the sync stops. An error icon appears in the sidebar next to my iPod. When I click the icon a message box comes up that says, "The iPod [name] cannot be synced because it cannot be found."

6th Gen/osx10.7/iTunes 11.0 'The ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.'

Hi,
I sure do hope someone has some great ideas here - because I'm stumped. I'm trying to sync up my husband's ipod. Gee whiz - who knew it would be so difficult.
Products:
I have a 6th Gen. ipod, syncing to a Macbook Pro using OS X 10.7 on iTunes 11.0.1. I have been successfully syncing this ipod for a few years now with no trouble - mostly music & photos.
I updated iTunes to the latest version 11.0.1 and synced the ipod. (It should be noted that I had such a screwed up library from iTunes that I deleted the entire library and reloaded it and regenerate playlists, etc.. I was able to sync up about 1,100 songs to the ipod with no problems and only used up about 6GB of space out of a total of 16GB.)
Issue:
The trouble began when I tried to upload additional music and I received the following error... 'the ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found'. Which is weird since my Mac & iTunes both 'saw' the device and I was able to view uploaded content 'on this ipod' in iTunes. It doesn't matter how much data, or what kind of data I'm trying to sync - I get the same error message.
The device reads, ''Connected - Eject before disconnecting'. So I tried to eject the from iTunes, which shows it's disconnected there - but the icon remains on my desktop and still shows it's connected on the device. Then I tried ejecting from my desktop - no change. The only way to remove the device is to completely MANUALLY shut down my laptop (it hangs when I try to relaunch Finder, restart or shut down within OS).
Troubleshooting Conducted:
I have restarted and reset the device - problem persists. Device is fully charged. Has the latest OS. USB ports are operating without issue with other peripherals (external HDDs/speakers). This does not appear to be a hardware issue (laptop and device) since both appear to be functioning properly (the device with existing content and the laptop with everything else.)
I've searched through Apple's support pages as well as community discussions and was unable to really find anything similar - please forgive me if I've overlooked something. I'm happy to go to existing solutions.
Also of note - both my son's and my iPhones have synced with this version of iTunes remotely without any problems.
Hope I've given enough info. I hope even more that someone may have a solution for me.
Thank you for your time.

The ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found

All - I just tried downloading the new iOS 6 from iTunes to my 4th-Gen iPod Touch, which currently has iOS 4.3. After about 2/3 of the (very long) time downloading, I kept getting 'the ipod '(my name)' cannot be synced because it cannot be found'. I can't even find this error message on the 'net. I've found people talking about a similar message about a file cannot be found, but not that the iPod can't be found. And of course it's a software glitch, because after that download finished - but didn't successfully update the iPod Touch - it synced anyway (books, music, etc.) - so whaddya mean the iPod can't be found? :^)
Oh, and I should add - in some other error instances, I found people saying to 'restart' the iPod - do you just mean turn it off and back on??

Hello, I have the same problem, i have the most up to date firmware - just released, however, since the iOS6 update my ipod has a had a number of problems, including if I try to update over Wi fi it shows the iPod as available but I get 'ipod touch could not be found on the network'. I have tried resetting, I've reverted to factorsettings etc... no fix though.
I can sync by cable - but that also has intermittent issues.
In fact when I updated to iOS 6.1 by cable it fell over again and I had to do a full restore on my Ipod. I have only had this issue since upgrading to iOS 6.
Any one have any ideas?

Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found

When I connect my ipod, it tries to sync and then it gives me a message "ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found". I've checked the cables, connectivity, etc. and have reset everything - restarted computer, ipod, etc. but it still gives me the same error message. Can someone help?

What have you tried in terms of troubleshooting so far? Has the iPod ever been able to successfully sync with this PC and iTunes before or is this the first time you are connecting it?
I would first make sure you are plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port directly on your PC and NOT through a HUB. If possible, use a different USB sync cable to rule out a damaged/faulty cable as well.
Is the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

Windows XP, iTunes 11: iPod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

I recently had to restore my iPod Video (circa 2007) after dropping it. Now it will not sync, and I get the error message "The iPod cannot be synced because it cannot be found." Sometimes it says "the required file cannot be found" instead. This has never happened before.
I would rather not reinstall since I have over 9000 songs all star-rated by hand.
I am using iTunes 11 and Windows XP. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Reboot the copmuter,
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
- Try anohter USB cable.

My 3rd generation iPod nano won't sync because "It cannot be found" even though it will automatically sync when I plug it in.

Hey,
My dad and I both own a third generation iPod nano. ever since I updated our iTunes software, neither his nor my iPod will sync because "the correct disk cannot be found" or "ipod cannot be found" even though it will sync automatically when I plug it in. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
Thanks

Try these steps listed below.
1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (i.e. *Device Manager*), and leave it open for now for later use
2. Start up iTunes
3. Next, connect your iPod.
4. Go to your iPod Settings and select the “Enable disk use” option from under theSummary tab.
5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Go ahead and hit OK
6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
7. Quickly switch to the Device Manager window and right-click on any item within the window and select “Scan for hardware changes”
8. Finally, switch back to iTunes, and try re-syncing your iPod to see if it helped.
It might not also hurt to trash your iPod's Photo cache if it has one (i.e. you sync photos to the iPod). See this article for information on where to find this folder on your Windows XP machine.

My Ipod Classic cannot be synced because it cannot be found. Help?

IPOD cannot be found when I try to sync it on my desktop Windows XP. Haven'tt been able to sync it for over a year.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

IPhone 4 cannot sync because "file cannot be found"?

I recently updated the software on my iPhone 4 from version 4.0.1 to 4.0.2. While the phone was performing a sync prior to the update from versions the computer or phone froze. I restarted both the phone and computer. I then tried to update the phone versions and have been unable to get the phone to sync. It seems that the phone has been updated to version 4.0.2, but it will not sync at all. I keep getting the following message:
The iPhone "phone name" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
The biggest issue I see is that the photos on my phone are not synced properly. Some albums are missing and so are some photos. Not only that but I notice that this message occurs during the last step of the sync process (step 5).
Please help! How do I fix this?

HT1386 I can't get my iPod Classic to sync with iTunes. My iPod Classic is up to date, and i have downloaded the latest version of iTunes. When trying to sync, it gives the message "The iPod "Brad D's iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found."

Do I have to un-install and re-install iTunes or do I have to restore my iPod Classic (I don't want to lose everything in my music library)?

Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive for storage is not a good thing. It usually means the hard drive is faulty. That is the likely reason for getting an error during the attempt to Restore.
If you use a Mac, you can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
If it goes into Disk Mode, connect the iPod and instead of running iTunes, run Disk Utility. Does the iPod appear in the Disk Utility sidebar? If it does, select the iPod device in the sidebar, not the volume indented below the device (if there is one). Go to the Erase tab. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name does not matter. Click on Security Options and choose to write a single pass of zeros over the entire disk. This serves as a good "stress test" for the iPod's hard drive. Back on the main window, click Erase.
This takes longer than a regular erase, but you should see steady progress. If it errors out, or stalls for a LONG time (like hours), the hard drive is likely to be faulty.
If it completes successfully, quit Disk Utility, run iTunes and try to do another Restore

When trying to sync my iPod and itunes music a message comes up and says " The iPod (My name) iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

Help me please.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reboot the computer
- Try another USB port
- Try another cable

Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic. It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced. I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
On a couple of occations it starts to sync!! however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
very frustrated.
Is it my Ipod Box?
Or is it Itunes?
or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft. I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
Mick

Is iTunes up to date (10.7)? Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

IPhone 5 backs up but cannot be synced because it cannot be found

I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 and an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.4 and it has recently failed to sync with the above message even though it has just gone through a normal backup to my PC. I have made repeated attempts to sync but they all fail. I am using Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Problem solved! I was trying to backup/sync by connecting my iPhone to my PC with a USB cable. I have now discovered that if I connect my iPhone to the mains power it will sync with iTunes via wifi.
