@cmsuto - The problem is not related to the new version according to my experience.


Starting today, my iPod also keeps auto-ejecting after a few seconds of synchronizing on my 2012 MBP (ML 10.8.2) on which I still run iTunes 10.7. Tried connecting it to my old MBP (SL 10.8.6) with the same result; then upgraded to iTunes 11.1 – and yet again the iPod wouldn't remain mounted and keeps ejecting itself (even though the device is still listed in the System Profiler under the USB category).


It neither makes a difference whether I connect the iPod via the USB-hub or directly to the laptop.


Unless there should be a problem with the 30-pin to USB cable I'm out of ideas.

Brief follow-up, managed to stop the auto-ejecting by toggling the "automatic synching" option under devices in iTunes preferences during the few seconds the iPod was mounted after connecting. iTunes then froze up but I guess somehow the problem was resolved, next time when connecting the iPod and again disabling said option in the iTunes preferences, it no longer ejects by itself (for now).
