Answer 1

I have a V3i, and suffered the same issues. Here's how I got it to work.
1. Reformat memory card
2. Reset phone.
3. Repaired permissions on my main volume. Repaired disk [it was ok]
4. Restart computer without phone plugged in.
5. Select USB Port on computer [e.g. not a monitor or keyboard USB]
6. Once computer is running, do not open iTunes.
7. Plug in phone to USB port referenced above.
8. Place your hands in the air, and resist the temptation to touch anything. USB1.1 is sllllloooooowwwww. Allow up to 5 minutes to do nothing before you give up on this step. Look at the system clock to make sure you don't wait too short or two long.
9. iTunes will auto-open.
10. iTunes will throw up a pop up box. It lists the name of your phone, and gives two options: AutoFill and Use as a Disk. Slow down, and take a deep breath. You really don't want either of these options. However, you want to Autofill more than you want to use memory card as a disk.
11. Allow 15 -20 minutes for iTunes to load songs. You'll be able to watch it work, so you'll have comfort everything is going to plan.
12. After the first autofill you can move songs around as you please.
Good luck
