Examples 2, 3, and 7 are common for me on OSX. I just hate syncing my device. Some of the other problems I've been having: iTunes gives me an alert saying some tracks can not be synced and so the sync process hangs until I close the prompt or manually stop the sync on my iPhone. If I remove a large app on my phone (example: the 1Gb Max Payne game) and then attempt to sync the phone after, iTunes decides to install the app again which means a lengthy transfer of a 1Gb file. If I make a change to my playlist on the phone and sync, two versions of the playlist are created (not always reproducible). iTunes is a horrible horrible experience on either OS. I've given up using it as a music player, in favor of Ecoute[1]. Pity I still need it for my iPhone. [1] http://www.pixiapps.com/ecoute/ http://www.pixiapps.com/ecoute/
