iTunes Freezing

[Pocobear]

Genius and Ping are both turned off. I have never used Genius (make my own playlists) and Ping was disabled as soon as I got the iPad. It is a randomly occurring problem with iTunes. When it works, my iPad connects to iTunes within a few seconds. It sync's much quicker than my iPod Touch even though I have a lot more loaded on the IPad.

I have the same issue. Today was especially ugly. Ipad connects as soon as I hit sync it starts with a "waiting for sync to begin" then freezes. (I have waited long stretches to seen if I'm just impatient. Use task mgr (win 7) to end as not responding. Try again same results. Reboot. Disconnect a couple of USB external drives. Try again, same.
Frustrating.
Try at least 3-4 more reconnects and restarts. No luck.
Move usb cord to rear of pc. no go.
Shut down wifi and cell on ipad. nope
shut down firewall and antivirus.
it starts working. I am just now waiting fo it to complete but have to head out.

Not sure I have it solved we'll see on next sync.
Question - before iOS5 I thought the ipad locked up and showed it was in sync mode, with moving the slider cancelling that action. Has this changed?
I don't see anywhere on the ipad that it's syncing.
