IPod disconnects when transferring songs

I have an iPod Shuffle 512 Mb.
I cannot transfer more than one or maybe two songs at a time to it.
If I try to transfer more than two or three songs from my library to my iPod, iTunes disconnects and the reconnects the iPod!
This was the case both with iTunes-5.x and also with my newly installed iTunes-6.
Why is that?
Am I doing anything wrong?

I have the same problem with my iPod Shuffle 1Gb.
I have posted a similar question.
Apple suggested me to format my iPod as FAT32 and then start all over again.
But all that helped was to erase all songs from my iPod, and then I had to re-transfer them from my library... still only one or two songs at a time.
And no, it is not something with my computer's USB-ports. I have a memory stick, a printer, a camera, a scanner and a harddisk, all usb, and none of them ever does this thing with disconnecting and reconnecting.
If I use the iPod as a memory-drive, it doesn't do this, so this i clearly a problem with iTunes.
I am using iTunes version 6.0.1.3.

  • IPod freezes when transferring songs.

    Hi,
    My iPod was working perfectly fine before the latest iPod update. Then when I updated my iPod I started having a lot of the same problems as everyone else; the computer not recognizing that the iPod's connected.
    Anyways, I managed to somewhat fix the problem by restoring my iPod using the iPod update previous to the latest one. After doing that, I can now connect my iPod to my computer with no problems.
    However, as you all know, restoring your iPod erases everything on it. So now I have to put all my music back on. This is where I have problems.
    I have tried both the manual and automatic methods of transferring my songs from iTunes to my iPod and no success with either way. What happens is that as soon as I get to anywhere from the 100th to the 150th song in my iTunes library it gets stuck. For example it will say "Updating songs on Dijita's iPod. Copying 107 of 1000: Song Title" and it will stay there and not get any further. Any attempt to stop the process or shutting down iTunes freezes up the system.
    If anyone can help me get my music back on my iPod, that would be fantastic.

    I was having a very similar problem with my 3rd Gen, 15GB iPod. The iPod would crash and lock up iTunes and I had to just unplug the 'Pod to free up the system.
    It turns out it was the FireWire hub I was using that was somehow causing the problem (the hub was also the cause of my iSight not working correctly with Delicious Library but that is another story). If you are using a hub, and you can take it out of the mix I'm guessing your iPod will work correctly.

  • PC crashes when transferring songs to ipod or using itunes..

    1) Issue: When transferring songs to IPOD through the use of a PC(itunes or real player), a blue faulty screen will eventually show with some error and then my computer restarts. I have a bout 3800 songs for a 20GB IPOD and it seems to always stop around 4G when transferring. I tried using the IPOD on another computer and it seems to be fine.
    2) Also, when I play music using iTunes, it causes the PC to crash as well, without the IPOD connected.
    During the error report, it usually says there is an error with the Hard Drive(Western Digital 250 SATA 2 hard drive; hard to use a jumper to adjust to the SATA 1 settings of this motherboards) and it couldn’t’ read it for a second. It advises to to a ScanDisk?CHKDSK run, but when I do this(during reboot), it stops in STEP 4 out of 5 at 20-30% and does nothing. Did this for 1 day! Other error reports supposedly report a faulty device driver error and advise to update drivers, but I’ve updates Apple iTunes.
    Contacted Hard Drive manufacturer, Western Digital, and they believe it is a controller device driver issue or something related. Tried updating the bios. Tried installing the VIA 4 for 1 drivers and other drivers in the Motherboards Installation CD. Running a Disk Tools before Microsoft even shows itself, reports no errors. However, when you are partially booted and the computer is scheduled to check the disk, there are errors(won’t move.) I see no update for controller device drivers
    A3) lso, if I have a USB hard drive connected to the PC(such as an IPOD or external usb hard drive), sometimes the computer switches boot devices(hard drives) and thinks that the IPOD/External Hard drive is the boot device. This is also reflected in the BIOS and the USB connected hard drive replaces my main SATA hard drive(western digital) and my computer doesn’t completely reboot unless I go under the BIOS and change it. It’s weird because I DO NOT CHANGE THE BIOS. For some reason, it changes on its own.
    I have no idea what’s going on. Please Help Me.

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I transfer a folder of songs to my itunes library and i choose to transfer them all and only a few get transfered and then the error message comes up.

  • How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

    How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
    Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

    The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.

  • MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS

    MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS AND THE SOUND GOES IN AND OUT. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Is the Battery level is low?
    The harddisk might be dying, run the disk diagnostic, the procedure is
    http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
    if it is too technical for you, but it does gives you the condition of your harddisk.
    What's happening is that some songs are on bad cluster, which need to be moved or reallocate to good cluster.
    To fix it in Windows simply run
    chkdsk drive: /R /F
    where drive: is the iPod drive ID. D: or E:
    in Mac run Diskutilty -> FirstAid -> repair.
    Good luck!

  • Ipod disconnects when editing files

    through itunes, I am renaming some files and there genres and after a few, my ipod would disconnect itself and then reconnect. Can anyone tell me why this happens? I've tried googling it and looking around this support site, but nothing came up.

    Whenever I insert/mount or eject/unmount a real/virtual disc into a physical/virtual drive, my iPod disconnects, as if it was automatically being ejected.
    hmmmmm. it might be worth checking to see if you're getting a weird(er) variant of the issue discussed in the following document:

  • When transferring songs from iTunes to phone it was doing it ok then all of a sudden it started to say iTunes cannot pick up information from phone restore to factory settings I am afraid if I do this I will loose all phone numbers pictures and songs anyo

    When transferring music from iTunes to iPhone after about 3 downloads a message come up saying iTunes cannot get information from phone and I should restore phone to factory settings I do not wont to do this because I am worried I will loose all phone contacts ,pictures,and songs anyone know how I can resolve this

    Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data, which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air such as with an Apple iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
    Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    In addition, contacts and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup.

  • IPod disconnects when disc's are inserted/ejected

    Whenever I insert/mount or eject/unmount a real/virtual disc into a physical/virtual drive, my iPod disconnects, as if it was automatically being ejected. It isn't visible in iTunes or Windows and I am 100% sure it was safely ejected, but this is really annoying.
    Also, I don't have a credit/debit card or paypal account, is there a way I can still access the iTunes store?

  • How can I get song titles to appear in iTunes library when transferring songs from iPod to iTunes ?

    My old computer crashed.  Trying to recover music from iPod.  Can transfer music, but not song titles.  Titles appear in 4letter mpg formats.  What am I doing wrong?

    Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
    See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.

    This happens each time Ive tried to update since.
    The ipod will stay connected (and charging) from the my home mac but will not be recognised by my work mac anymore.

  • Why does my 8gb iPod Touch say it is over capacity when transferring songs from my 4gb iPod?, Why does my 8gb iPod Touch say it is over capacity when transferring songs from my 4gb iPod?

    Okay So my little sister got a new 8Gb iPod Touch and it says that there is a little over 6Gb of space on it. I guess a little must be used up for formating or the operating system of the device. So that is normal I'd assume. Then she starts to sync her music library to the divice, all of the music that she had on her old 4Gb iPod.During the process it says that she is over capacity by .22Gb? How is that possible? How is it that her entire music library from Itunes and her CDs, a grand total of 700 songs, were able to fit on the 4Gb iPod but makes the 8Gb with 6Gb of usable space (said to be able to hold like 2,000 or more songs) over capacity?! could someone run me through a process to get all the music together so that we can get it set up right. I really have a feeling that somewhere we must have screwed up.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

    This is really a guess but perhaps it's the factory-installed apps.
    You might want to try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Reclaim memory from iPod nano when deleting songs

    I have an iPod nano 8Gb (second generation). When I delete songs, I notice that it does not reclaim the memory space that these songs took up. I have disconnected iPod from iTunes, shut down iTunes and then reconnected, and it still does not reclaim this memory space.
    How do you recalim this memory space?

    I would suggest that you restore your iPod, to completely clear it off.
    See this: Restoring your iPod to factory settings
    It might resolve whatever internal issues your iPod is having with processing space/used space on the flash drive.

  • Ipod disapears when transferring music

    ok so i have a problem.
    when i want to put music on my ipod i just plug it in and everything is fine. It takes a while to show up but eventually it does. Then i open up iTunes and go to some music which i want to add onto my ipod. However, this is where it goes wrong. As soon as i drag the music onto the ipod, the ipod sign in the bar on iTunes disapears and my ipod somehow disconnects itself from my computer. I have no idea why this happens so if anyone has any suggestions, no matter how stupid, i will be eternally grateful.
    Thanks for any help
    Dirk

    ok so i was checking what you told me and it showed up and everything. so then i go to itunes and tried it again. and low and behold it was working. so i jumped up and screamed a bit but then when i looked back it had dissapeared again. so it only downloaded some songs. i dont know whats wrong, it also turns off(the ipod) but the battery isnt fully dead yet. maybe it's just that the battery is messed up and cant handle being connected for so long because the battery is significantly lower than before.
    anyways thanks so much for ryour reply but do you or anyone else have any other suggestions?
