What is happening to my iPod??

Hi all, I recently synced my iPod. Seems simple, and it was, it synced just like normal. The next day, however, I went to sync it and I kept getting a message that told me the contents couldn't be read. I contacted Apple customer service and they helped me out and I fixed that part. Then I got it to sync, but it does something weird. When I plug it in and hit sync, It syncs the same three songs every time and then says its finished. It won't add my new playlists, my changes to my album artwork, my changes to titles or artists names either. So I thought I'd contact Apple again, they tried to help. So I uninstalled every Apple iTunes related product on my PC, reset my iPod, logged out of iTunes Store and reset my PC and re-downloaded all of iTunes and Quicktime. This did nothing. It still downloaded the same three songs and then said it was finished. These songs aren't even new so I don't know why it keeps picking them. I deleted those songs, and now it doesn't sync anything, it goes through determining the stuff to sync and then just finishes automatically. I think factory resetting may fix it, but I have 2950+ songs, and a low-budget PC, so that would take an entire afternoon to sync and I really don't have the time for that. Also, lately, my iPod has had lots of trouble trying to update some of my apps. I have a Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation. I also have iTunes 10.7.0.21. Can anyone help? This is a complicated and ridiculous mess. I honestly wish I never had owned anything Apple related, but it's so great and simple....when it works. So any help is greatly appreciated.
 
what he said, and have you tried just turning the ipod off then on again? a full reboot might help just like sometimes you just gotta reboot your computer or reload a program.
 
I would restore it to factory settings and re-sync everything... It's an afternoon yeah but you'll be able to use your ipod...
 
Reset and resync. Just leave the computer on overnight and let it sync. And it's been said, better wait a few hours and get it to work then be too lazy and just have a dead iPod.
