"iPod could not be synced because sync session failed to start/finish"

Hey all,
I'm trying to sync my iPod (4th gen., iOS 5.0.1 iTunes 10.5.3 (3)) and I keep getting the message "The iPod “Cory's iPod Touch” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish.". When I hit "Sync" it acts like it's going to sync and the status bar shows that it's determining tracks/apps to sync and applying changes but nothing after that.

Anybody have any ideas to help? I'm probably going to try and restore it of Thursday when I have the time unless somebody has another easier idea. This seemed to start after I tried to delete some apps using iTunes while the iPod was connected.

Thanks all!
