Do your repeated measures factors have only 1 d.f. (2 levels)? If so
sphericity is automatically met and some tests or corrections for
sphericity will return errors (depending on software). Use the standard
sphericity asumed ANOVA output in these cases.

If you have no between-subjects factors then it should not surprising
that tests of the factors return errors (depending on software).

(Another possibility is missing cells in the repeated measures design or
empty cells in the between subjects factors).
