iTunes auto-sync with iPod question

My guess is you have a bad track, or at least one that the iPod doesn't like. In my experience this is generally the cause of a frozen sync, particularly if it's freezing in approximately the same place. Finding out which track is the offender can take some time.

Take a look at what managed to sync with your iPod before it froze. Try to determine what order iTunes may be using to fill your iPod and where it left off. That might give you a good place to start. Failing that, sync your library in stages. One way to do this would be to set the iPod to only sync checked items, uncheck your entire library, and then proceed to check groups of tracks (small or large selections, up to you) and sync your iPod. Check a group - sync - check some more tracks - sync. You get the picture. You'll eventually reach a point where you will have checked the offending track and the sync will fail (or freeze in your case). Work from there.

 

Hmmm...is the iPod connected via a hub?

 

any luck?

i'm having a similar problem with my 80g classic and itunes. have you found a solution?? thanks!

 

I have a similar problem with my 80 gig classic. I think there's something wrong with this model in particular because it seems to be having this problem a lot. When I investigated this problem on the Apple Forums, Apple kept responding with "We're currently working on a resolution for this issue." I've heard different things that work, but none have yet to work for me.
