Xcode Breaks iTunes Sync Services

I tried syncing my iPhone today, and was greeted by two different warning messages.

"iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later."

"iTunes could not back up the iPhone ... because the backup session failed."

WTF?!

Some Googling led me to several posts regarding it, and the common thread was the new Xcode install available in the Mac App Store. Installing this software seems to break sync services with iTunes and your iOS devices.

There is a fix, though.

I followed the instructions there, and voila! Everything is syncing fine again.

Putting iPod into Disk Mode

Putting iPod into Disk Mode My buddy had a problem with his iPod showing up on his desktop, but not in iTunes... This article explaining how to put the iPod in disk mode did the trick... The Nano is now recognized in iTunes and the desktop, and is currently being updated to the most recent iPod software.Just thought I'd throw it up there, as we've run into this before, but until now, didn't know how to fix it.
