iPod Classic won't sync after 9.2 update

Just updated iTunes this morning, and now my iPod won't sync. It verifies the iPod and as soon as it starts to sync, iTunes completely freezes, and a few seconds later my iPod no longer says syncing on the screen. I have to force quit iTunes. I've tried doing automatic syncing, manual syncing, restarting my computer, resetting my iPod, nothing seems to work. What should I do?

Macbook 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

It's obvious that something broke since Apple introduced OS 10.6. My 160 GB iPod Classic simply won't sync. It appears on iTunes briefly and says that it's verifying. Then it disappears from iTunes and from my desktop. At first i thought it was my iPod that was going bad but I have 7 other Macs running OS 10.5 or 10.4 and it works perfectly with all of them.

It seems to be a firmware issue but Apple hasn't addressed the problem. In fact, I called Apple and they don't even recognize that there is a problem.
