iTunes freezes when trying to sync iPod Classic

Try to use older version of iTunes, or try to sync iPod on smb others computer.

No, You do not have problems on Your iPod's HDD.

the common issue going around now with Classics and iTunes 9.2 is the freezing when syncing. have you tried leaving it for a while? unless youve done that already, then might have to wait fir apple to come out with a fix in iTunes

SteevoSween,

Did you fix this problem? Mine is doing the same thing and driving me nuts.
I have reinstalled Itunes with no luck.

Cheers

I am having the same problem with my iPod Classic 80g not syncing with iTunes 9.2. I tunes freezes up and after 5 or 10 minutes I get this message: Attempting to copy the disK "MICHAEL DAV" failed. An Unknown error accurred (-69). This happened everytime I tried to sync, even after I "Restored" my iPod. iTunes would not remove photos or synce Podcasts, before all of this started. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit OS.

My iPhone and my wife's iPhone syncs just fine with iTunes 9.2. I don't understand, the previous version of iTunes worked just fine with my iPod and our iPhones.

Now, I am getting a message that says my iPod cannot be synced, error (-1303).

I have been looking at other posts. The problem appears to be with Itunes and Vista

This happened to me about a year and a half ago when iTunes updated. My iPod was under warrenty and Apple replaced it. Now, the replacement iPod is not under warrenty and is useless since iTunes 9.2. I cannot sync with iTunes 9.21, which was supposed to fix this problem. I tried everything others have tried and still cannot sync. If this is not fixed, I'll toos my iPod and get a Zune. When my AT&T contract runs out, I'll toss my iPhone and get a Windows version of the iPhone.

I logged onto itunes on Thursday and received the prompt for the new version. I downloaded it while thinking "what have I got to lose", "What else can go wrong" and " maybe they foxed it. After the download I attached my Ipod and presto it started to synch. 45 mins later and all was synchronised. I have my Ipod back and don't have to listen to the crappy radio.

I'm having the exact same problem. (Windows 64 bit) First I accidentally erased my entire Ipod and now it will only sync about 80% of the songs that I have replaced. I'm getting either an error 53 or 69. How do you run your Ipod in disc mode? Does Apple ever offer help on these discussion boards?
Thanks in advance for any help.

How exactly did you get this problem fixed? My ipod classic (80 gb) has been doing the exact same stuff (saying i have no music but it says that space is taken up, freezing itunes whenever i hook it up, etc). I put it into disc mode and plugged it into my computer and no luck, itunes is still frozen, so I can't even reset my ipod. Did you do something differently that fixed it?

Same problem for me. When I connect my Ipod, it freezes the whole Itunes program. I can't restore it, or do anything with Itunes while my Ipod is connected. To make matters worse, when I COULD do something, and my error was "ipod cannot be synced, required folder cannot be found", I synced some videos and they erased everything else from the ipod. Now, with only 5 videos and no music, and no clear way to do anything to add songs, my error is ipod cannot be synced, required file cannot be found".

Annnd as if it weren't enough, Apple is seeking around $170 if I wish to send in the ipod for repairs. Is this another horrible example of a company profitting off of known errors in its programs and products while neglecting to do anything about it? Cause it certainly feels like it to me, having scoured the forums on similar issues.
