old classic ipod stopped syncing suddenly

[rogmez]

My Ipod was working fine, but about a week ago it stopped syncing. The computer shows it as connected, recognizes it. I have had problems with the usb ports in the past, could it be that I need a new connection, even though the device is saying it is connected?

So iTunes recognizes and lists the device? What kind of error message are you getting that is telling you it isn't syncing?
