WP app crashes when syncing to itunes because you are Syncing DRM. "Digittal rights media".
when you buy stuff off itunes, you can only play them on upto 5 apple software/devices.
here is a work around:
Remove itunes purchased media from the itunes playlist. can't sync those, apple wont allow it on any other device but ipad, i phones, etc. The sync should work fine.
if do not know which is itunes purchased media do the following:
1. Do a sync.
2.just when WP app crashes, note which song it was trying to sync. (its mentioned underneath the sync progress bar as "Adding _____.mp3")
3. remove said song from the Itunes library (don't have delete it from your computer, just remove it from the library)
4. Sync again and repeat steps 1 through 4 if you encounter more problems.
5. most importantly!, download media through amazon mp3. its cheaper and has no restriction. you can manage it using itunes, sune, wmp, etc and sync it to any device.
i only had 3 albums from itunes, so i was lucky. For those who have majority Apple DRM media, buy non DRM versions from amazon, or switch forever be an apple drone.
this worked for me. hope it works for you too.
