Hi
Not got the actual answer, but if you go onto Apple Itunes site they have a discussion board section that have always sorted my ipod problems.

It may be that you have a corrupt file. I had this happen once.
What I did was copy across the files in batches avoiding the area of the dodgy file and then whittling it down so that I could find the album that was causing the problem.
If the duplicates only exist in the library then you can remove them from all from the library and just reimprt them.
In itunes if you go to File/show duplicatesit will find all the duplicates for you.
If you have duplicate files on the PC then there are a few free duplicate file finders available. Just google "duplicate file finders".
Goodipod help can be found at the forums on www.ilounge.com
Hope this helps.

I can help, well kind off, here. my puter caught a nasty cold which killed it and i needed to reformat the hard drive. I lost all my i tunes tracks!!. Oh well i thought they are still on my pod i will just copy them back....... It turns out mister apple doesn't like you doing that. you can only copy tracks that you have bought from itunes back to your pc itunes, any you burnt off cds or 'borrowed from friends' you cant easly get back on itunes. there is softwear that will let you do this but as you might of guessed its not apple. do a google search for 'copy from ipod to pc' and you will get loads of info saying how this is a really underhand thing for apple to do. although i like my ipod i think i would rather have some other generic mp3 player, at least i would be able to have my tunes back on my puter now!!

good luck if you find any softwear that works well let me know, most of the programs you will have to pay for. all though i am told that copypod is free and works.
hope this is of some use.

Go to "Froddle Pod" use it instead of i tunes,it's completely free.

i use a program called wimamp, its free if you have the home edition, and you can copy any music you like onto your ipod. music from other computers and from other ipods if you have more than one. i am not however tempting you to do anything illeagal as that is wrong. give wimamp a go though. i have two ipods and can swap and change my music whenever i want

It sounds like there's something wrong with it. I would re-connect it to the last PC it synchronised with, then re-synchronise and reset it.
