turn off wifi sync and connect the device to the computer. fix your itunes library, sync with the music checkbox unchecked. sync again with the muusic checkbox checked and you should be good to go. make sure you don't have anything on your device you don't have on the computer or you will loose it except for iTunes purchases.
