How do I fix sync errors 13103 and 50? Sync will begin, but will freeze after 40-100 songs and produce error messages. Any suggestions?

160GB classic started playing only a few seconds of songs, then skipping to another. Some songs wouldn't play at all. I decided to try to re-sync. Problem that is stated above has happened each time. I have done the factory restore on the iPod and have tried again (4 times), but no luck. Any suggestions as to how to get my iPod back?

Thanks.

Several possible causes from the info you gave

Battery level low - recharge it for at least 4 hours till the full charge sign displays (2 prong icon instead of lightning icon).
Time to Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then let go of the buttons.
your hardisk is starting to give problems, hence the skipping and some song refuse to play. - Do a disk diagnostic - follow this post by tt2.

If you have updated any sofware application in Windows, then follow this Apple support procedure

Most likely you have to do all, as the iPod hardisk filesystem would have been corrupted, or else the iPod Reset would bring it to normal operation.

Good Luck!
