I have a handfull of iPods, ranging from shuffles, iPods w/video, an original Nano and a 4th generation Nano, and all of them beachball iTunes when it connets via USB (9.2 (61) ) on 10.6.4 on an iMac. Is there some sort of 'config' file or something that iTunes looks for when trying to sync? I figure I can replace this file, or something, and have it work? It's highly unlikely that every single iPod I have stops syncing at once.
