I have had no luck syncing my Classic 120 (purchased this year), but when I tried my 2004 ipod 40GB, it started syncing immediately. The sync just completed without incident. Go figure! There must be some problem between Classic and iTunes 9 that doesn't exist with the older models. Until I find there's a safe fix, I'm going to leave my Classic with the music it currently has, rather than lose everything I've already loaded.

I to am having issues syncing my 160GB as well. It will sync up to around 7000 or 8000 of my 2400 songs and then just freeze. I have restored and iTunes 9.0.0.70 recognizes it. I am just copying them old fashion way, highlight a bunch of songs and drag them. I did find a website that you can download old versions of iTunes at as well. I downloaded 8 as it worked fine before. So far, the copying is working, of course i am only at 6000 songs, hope this will work out.

I just updated to iTunes 9.0.1, and it hasn't fixed this syncing issue yet. I have an 80gb iPod Classic from when it was first released (September 2007) and it won't add or remove songs from the device when I sync it.

Also, when I hook the iPod up to my computer, iTunes sits there saying "syncing" and will remain that way for a long time (over half an hour) while the iPod just says "connected".

Could this be an issue with the 64-bit software? I had my iTunes 9 library in 32-bit Windows XP last week and it worked fine, but I switched it to 64-bit Windows 7 earlier this week, and now it won't sync.

Side-note: since switching to iTunes 9 in 64-bit Windows 7, my iPod Touch is able to successfully sync, meaning that the sync issue appears to only be with the iPod Classic for me.
