I have a S5 with Verizon and syncing MMW<>S5 via the USB cable is pretty unreliable in my experience. Like you, I sync my tunes to an SD card in my phone. To unfreeze the sync, one has to kill explorer.exe: Task Manager (leave this open for the entire time), Processes Tab, highlight explorer.exe and press "End Process." The sync should resume, as it does with mine. If you want to bring up your taskbar (since killing explorer.exe kills this too), go to Task Manager that you left open, File>New Task (run) and type explorer.exe. The issue with me, after unfreezing the sync, is that it is a toss-up whether or not the files will transfer from the computer to phone. Having to go through all of these hoops makes me wish that I purchased an iphone, where the syncs are much more reliable.
