iPod 3G iPod won't dock...

[ClarkeB]

I have this really bizarre problem. I have a 10GB 3G iPod running version 2.3 that won't connect with my 12" Powerbook G4 rev D running Tiger and iTunes 6.0.5. I haven't changed iTunes or OS or anything since it decided to stop. It will still charge when plugged in and, 3 times, has shown up as connected and then frozen up iTunes and crashed the entire system (force quitting iTunes would remove it from the screen but not from the dock and then from there it would drag the whole system down). Is there anything I can do? Is it time for a new iPod?

I think the firs tthing i would do is reset the ipod, after that i wold try it on a different computer (maybe a friends) and see if its the ipod or the computer. Just some ideas.
