i really want to just connect my ipod, put stuff in it, sync and disconnect without going through this shi*

Answers:

Your best bet is that you can do a reset on the ipod to restore the factory defaults (do this from itunes). Also you might want to consider getting the actual apple cord because that is what its designed for. Lastly if none of that works it is a technological problem and if you are under warranty apple should replace the ipod for free.

PS. BEST ANSWER APPRECIATED On the screen you get after you sync your ipod check manually manage your songs and then it should give you options of what playlists and how much of your library gets synced.
