Because right now I’d really like to throw it in the sea.
Ok, not really. It’s been an amazing tool - probably the best gadget that I’ve bought ever, but it’s not synching now. The message I keep getting is the iPhone "Anthony’s iPhone cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found. The phone is almost three years old - an iPhone 3G.
It’s a new computer, I’ve tried two different usb cables and every usb port. I’ve reinstalled itunes on my computer, and all to no avail. Grrr!
Is it worth bringing in to CHT to be fixed?
I really don’t want to buy an iPhone 4 if I don’t have to, not with the iPhone 5 likely to be announced next month. On the other hand, I need an apple device for work, and I don’t really want an iPad.

I found this online:
[color=#0000FF]I got an error tonight that read “The iphone cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.”
Of course, having had almost all my gadgets die on me many times before I jumped to the though of just reinstalling the original firmware for my iphone 3G. But I did some research first on the sync error and why it can’t find the required disk.
My initial assumption was that the “required disk” was the iphone drive itself and I’m very glad that I was wrong.
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.
Disabling the files that were on the network drive in itunes completely solved my problem.
So if you ever read “The iphone cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.”
Make sure that all the files that you are trying to sync are actually accessible.
