"iPad XXX cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."

After upgrading the OS on my iPad, I started getting the above error message during the sync process. I guess Apple can have some obscure, unhelpful error messages as well. Anyway, found a post that resolved the problem for me.

The problem is with the iPod photo cache.

Do the following:
1. Go to home folder in Finder
2. Open Pictures
3. Right click on iPhoto Library and select Show Package Contents
4. Find "iPod photo cache" file and drag to Desktop
5. Close Finder
6. Reopen iTunes and sync your iPad
7. The iPod photo cache rebuilds itself
