Hot sync freezes on “Synchronizing Media”.

[Neville310]

Hot sync freezes at the Synchronizing Media stage, which requires a soft reset on the Treo and computer restart to try again. Entering the custom menu and selecting do nothing for Media, hot sync completes. Apparently, hot sync hangs on around Addit or Media; maybe while synchronizing the photo/video database.

This situation began after a hard reset on the 700p and restoring it with Resco Backup. The obvious workaround is to set Media conduit to "Do nothing," yet it’s not the ideal route.

Please let me know if you have any insight on this situation.
My only thought is the media database is corrupted on either the palm or desktop. I could use advice on finding these files and removing them. I am still troubleshooting the matter and will update this post.


Synchronizing Media (Do Nothing) = Sync completes
Remove SD Card = Sync completes

I've run into a hang on media before, myself. Like you suggested, something could be corrupt. Another possibility, though, is that large media files/amounts may be causing it. I usually ran into it when I had movie(s) on my card. I set my conduit like you suggested, and do all my media transfers via card reader, which is faster anyway. While the card's already in the laptop, I make a copy of it once a week or so just for GP.
