iPod freezes iTunes

[Sugaree]

So for the past thirty minutes, my iPod and iTunes have decided to raise some hell.

Situation: I plug in my iPod as normal and click the shortcut to iTunes. iTunes won't open, so I decide to unplug the iPod. After unplugging the iPod, iTunes magically opens up. After waiting a few minutes with iTunes open, I plug in my iPod. The iPod screen reads that the device is connected but it doesn't show the circle with two arrows for syncing.

I look at iTunes and it's frozen. I unplug the iPod and do it all again. On the second try, iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod and I unplug it again. iTunes then tells me my iPod is corrupted and in need of restoring. I plug the iPod in again and now iTunes freezes whenever the iPod is plugged in, so I can't restore it or change the options. Is there any way to fix this? I have not enabled disk use for the device since that has caused problems in the past.

Yes, I know this is a double post, but just wanted to bump this since I have now discovered I have songs, even whole ALBUMS, missing from my iPod right now. Help?

itunes sucks up my cpu when i use it so try and close out some things while it syncs and let it run.

Alright, got the problem fixed. Turns out that I had to uninstall iTunes and any Apple related software an reinstall it. iPod was still corrupted because of the USB port I hooked it into. Just had to switch the ports and all.

Thanks for helping out Thomas.
