Ok... here's everything I know:
Info on my iPod:
- 5th generation (video,) black, 30 GB
- Battery is near full
- It plays music/video/games just fine.
- Disk mode is enabled
- I had to restore it a month or two ago... it had been appearing in iTunes but it wouldn't play music or anything and iTunes said it was corrupt. (Doesn't appear to be the issue.)
- Running the newest software that was available about a week ago... not sure if I've synced since then.
Info on my iMac:
- 2007 Al, 24", 2.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM originally, upgraded to 3 GB RAM since
- Computer is on
- Sees my iPod just fine... the files can all be moved back and forth and nothing appears corrupt or anything.
- Running 10.5.6
Info on iTunes:
- I just added about 10 albums worth of music, and downloaded a few podcasts... thus the reason I want to sync my iPod.
- Running 8.0.2
- It worked just fine the last time I synced it.
The only thing I can think of that's changed since the last time I synced is a friend used Senuti to copy some music off of my iPod... they've done that before though and it never caused an issue.
I've already tried disconnecting my iPod, restarting it, then plugging it back in. It mounted in Finder but not in iTunes. I restarted my computer. It again mounted in Finder but not in iTunes.
So... what's wrong? I'd try restoring my iPod to factory defaults except I can't even do that because iTunes doesn't see my iPod. (And besides, the iPod itself doesn't seem corrupt.)
