Ok, I have been dealing with this problem for the past few days and I am all out of ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am currently using an 80gb classic with firmware 1.1.2 on an OS X machine running 10.5.6 and iTunes 8.1.1. A few days ago I decided to clean out a lot of unnecessary music from my library and do a full auto sync with my iPod (I was previously doing a manual sync). In the same sitting I also updated my iTunes firmware to 8.1.1. I did a full restore of my iPod and started to do a full sync of all 65gb of my music. The sync stopped at about 2500 songs and the iPod hung and iTunes was being non-responsive.
I was able to soft reset my iPod while it was plugged in so that I could eject it. No music had actually transferred to the iPod. So I plugged it back in and started to do a manual sync, dragging and dropping all of my music in there little by little. This would work for a little while but once I got my iPod to 10gb full it would hang again.
In the situations where it hangs I have no choice but to do the soft reset and unplug it. There are times when I plug my iPod in and it says that it is corrupted, so I restore it and the same thing happens.
- I have done multiple full restores on this iPod
- I have time machined back to before installing 8.1.1 and the problem persists.
- I have used disk utility to do a disk check on the iPod multiple times. Sometimes it will say that the iPod cannot be repaired and sometimes it will say it appears to be ok.
- I have opened iTunes in Safe Mode and the problem persists
- There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to when the iPod hangs, which is to say there is not a particular song or album that it hangs on.
- The music I am able to get on there plays fine and the iPod itself seems to be working ok.
- I have tried all of my USB ports and three different cables, problem persists.
- The iPod is over a year and a half old and I do not have Apple Care
- After every full restore iTunes allows me to manually transfer anywhere from 6-10gb worth of music before hanging. After that it will hang on every transfer I try to do.
This problem started when I upgraded to 8.1.1, as well as when I decided to auto sync the iPod. It could be either of those two things.
I was gonna go ahead and get a new iPod but I really don't want to have to do that. I think that the iPod itself is working properly, I believe this is a software problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions, I am really desperate here.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
