When I clicked on both the iPhone Software Updates and iPod Software Updates aliases, the Finder warned me that the aliases were broken. It was when I navigated to Home/Library/iTunes that something dawned on me: My instincts were telling me that iTunes was the culprit, so I started checking all files and folders related to iTunes. In this case at least I was sure it wasn’t something related to unreachable files because I hadn’t even synced the iPhone 4 yet. But a firmware update is a firmware update no matter what, so I started searching for the source of the problem. I thought that perhaps I would need to wait to have access to Orange’s services (my new carrier). At first I thought it was a matter of activation, since I’m in the process of changing mobile carriers. With a new, never-synced-before iPhone? Now, that was really strange. However, when yesterday I tried to update my brand new iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3, iTunes again threw the very same error at me. That, and the ‘Reset all settings’ option managed to speed up the iPhone enough to be usable again, so I didn’t investigate further. So, after losing an entire afternoon over it, and getting quite frustrated, I decided it wasn’t worth my time and just restored the iPhone 3G from a previous backup.
So I verified just that, that all I was trying to sync was truly accessible I even deleted all the music, podcasts and videos on the iPhone to be sure. The required disk cannot be found.” Make sure that all the files that you are trying to sync are actually accessible. So if you ever read “The iPhone cannot be synced. Disabling the files that were on the network drive in itunes completely solved my problem. This sync error was happening on my iphone due to trying to sync the iPhone with a ringtone that was on a network drive that I recently reformatted and reorganized. Then I found this page, promisingly titled Solved: The iPhone cannot be synced. Then I searched the Web and lost myself in every kind of iPhone-related forum, only to find other puzzled users in my same situation. I carefully read this Apple Knowledge Base page and tried every suggestion outlined there, to no avail. I never had a problem before with iPhone restores or firmware updates. I clicked on the Restore button in iTunes and after giving confirmation I was presented with a puzzling error message: The required disk cannot be found. After deleting some apps I wasn’t using much and doing a backup, I was ready to go. Time ago, after noticing a progressive worsening in the overall performance of my iPhone 3G, I decided to do a full restore by reinstalling iOS 4.2.1 and then restoring from a previous backup, to see if the situation could improve a little.
