How to get out of syncing stall

I am trying to sync songs from itunes onto my ipod and the syncing stalls. I figure the track is bad and the ipod doesn't know what to do with it so it just spins it's wheel.
My question is: What is the best way to get out of the this situation? I had been force quitting itunes, and eventually it just destroyed three fourths of my playlists in itunes. I was advised to disconnect the ipod. After restarting itunes, I delete the problem song and try to sync the playlist again. (I have been manually loading each playlist, one at a time). Any advice?
Besides get a new computer?

I experienced the exact same problem with my 20gb iPod G4 click wheel as well... this issues seems to have started with the latest update to iTunes..

How to fix out of sync devices which have used 2 apple Ids?

I have been working with the iCloud help desk over the last couple days on this but let me explain the situation:
I have 2 apple IDs. one I use for iTunes access/purchases, etc. it happens to be my day to day email. the other ID happens to be associated with my mac.com email which I use for separate email purposes.
I use an ipadair, iPhone 4, mac. all are updated with most current IOS release.
The issue is the lack of synchronization between the devices. I primarily enter my contacts, calendars, reminders via my desktop mac/apple apps, i.e. ical, contacts and reminders. However when I am away from my desktop i enter via my ipadair typically. The help desk did help and we were able to sync all of them via the Mail/Contacts/Calendars setups for new entries, rather than iCloud settings and any activated syncing via iTunes. I know that there is a way to get this sorted/combined without losing any data.
What I have discovered during my discussions with the help desk, if we take the contact lists as an example, is that I have a set of contacts entered separately and perhaps synced on my iPad that are not showing up anywhere else, for example the name Mia on my iPad does not show up on my iPhone or Mac contact list.
the record counts are different, Mac contacts have 1459, iCloud apple ID 1 has 1386 and iCloud apple ID2 has 1434(each essentially are named after an email address; 1 of which is connected to my iTunes account, and although I cannot tell how many records are on my ipadair in contacts, I know that some of those contacts are different and have not synced across to my iPhone or Mac apps.
So the question is how to get them all synced(iCloud apple ID 1(primary), iCloud apple ID 2, iPad contacts, Mac contacts without losing any contacts....i'm less concerned about duplicates, because I can manually delete dupes if they occur. Just trying to get to one method of syncing....noting that when I set these up originally i used iTunes syncing and it seemed to add duplicates never was in sync and all contact list were messed up...i am sure that is because of the 2 iCloud IDs, but I do not know how to fix it so I do not lose any contacts/can clean from one source and also of course utilize syncing for calendar, reminders, etc. retaining my separate apple ID for ITunes and the other for all this synchronization.
thanks.

You need to:
1) Go to appleID.apple.com, log in with [email protected], and then change the AppleID/Primary Email back to [email protected] Sign out.
2) Delete the icloud account on the iphone. Enter the password when prompted.
3) Go back to appleID.apple.com, log in with [email protected], then change the AppleID/primary email back to [email protected]

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
After you have Recovered your Device...

Text file generator gets out of sync!

Has anyone any experience of this behaviour in the text file generator in Motion......
Basically the first entry in the list is only displayed for half the time of the other entries!
This means that any repeat keyframes that I apply (even if I apply from the second entry in) get out of sync with the text display.
There must be a workaround for this or maybe I am missing something and this is desired behaviour.
Can anyone help?

When you mentioned keyframes, I thought we were on the same page as to where to go next. In the off chance I was mistaken, I'll go over the steps from the beginning.
When you use the File generator, Motion automatically evenly divides the time of the length of the generator by the number of lines of text and plays them accordingly. When you look in the Text Generator Inspector, the Speed is set for Constant... Motion figures out how many lines of text and inserts *fixed* keyframes. What you really want to do is set the Speed to Custom:
Immediately afterwards, you want to Reset the Custom Speed keyframes (Motion defaults from 0% - 100% over the length of the generator.) Clearing the default keyframes will keep you from having problems later.
Once you have the keyrames for the Custom Speed parameter cleared, you can move the playhead to the start of where you want the first line of text to appear and set an In Point for the generator. You will also want to mark the first keyframe so click on the yellow diamond to set it at 0%.
Next, play the project and at the point you want the *next* line to appear, move the Custom Speed slider enough until the next line *just appears* (the keyframe will automatically be set.) If you need more precision, you can widen the inspector column by clicking on the dividing line and dragging it right.
Continue doing the same until your finished setting the Custom Speed keyframes.
Then, right click on Custom Speed and Show In Keyframe Editor
Below shows the keyframes are linear. They need to be Constant. So, click on any keyframe in the Editor and Command-A to select all. Then right-click on any keyframe, and from the popup menu, select Interpolation > Constant.
This is what you're going for -- Custom Speed values that are flat until they change -- Each line will appear at precisely the point of the keyframe.

Mac OS X partition ("Macintosh HD") gets out of sync after hibernation

Hello,
I have a first-generation Unibody 15" MacBook Pro. I run Mac OS X Lion and Windows XP Profession 32-bit through Boot Camp on it.
I notice that the Mac OS X partition gets out of sync after I hibernate in Windows XP, reboot into Mac OS X Lion, restart and resume Windows XP. Certain folders would remain visible in Windows Explorer but become inaccessible, while some folders that I just created in Mac OS X would not even show up.
Is there a way to tell Windows XP to "remount" the HFS+ partition?
Steps to reproduce:
Boot into Windows XP;
Hibernate Windows XP;
Boot into Mac OS X;
Pick a folder and change something in it;
Create a new folder;
Reboot and resume Windows XP;
Open "Windows Explorer";
Try to access the folders you just meddled with.

Don't hibernate, shut XP down when you reboot and the issue goes away, you really should consider using a more modern operating system.
