Problems with loading songs onto ipod colour 20gb

Hi,
I'm having problems connecting an ipod 20gb colour to a mac G5, the ipod connects up and shows in itunes fine, however after every 2 songs transfer it says 'Attempting to connect to ipod, cannot be written to or read'
Any suggestions please?
Thanks

Well, I changed my iPod settings to manual and was able to get almost everything on there. I did it an artist at a time using the browse menu so it took a good bit of time... but now I have music and an audiobook for my road trip!
It was strange. It seemes there are only two songs in my library that are simply refusing to transfer. The rest of that album will transfer perfectly and it was ripped all at once. I'm not sure what kind of bugs are going on, but at least I have music in my pocket again.

Trouble with loading songs onto ipod

I was trying to load some of my existing cd's onto my ipod and after a while it wouldnt load anymore songs on. And after several times of trying to get a cd onto my ipod, it deleted all the songs I had already in it off my ipod. So I had to go back and load all the previously existing songs back onto my ipod.
I dont know why it isnt letting me load some of my cd's on. One cd it only loaded 1 song from the 12 that were on the cd.
I dont want to risk trying to load another cd on if its going to erase everything again.
Anyone know whats going on?

I'm not sure about the whole problem, but for the CD problem, single click to hightlight the first song on the list that comes up when you use the CD. Then,while holding shift, click the last song on the list. If you'be done this correctly, you should see all the songs between the top and bottom hightlighted. Then, click and drag the songs into the library and they should all download. The first will download, then the next when that finishes, and you get the idea, P.S. you do not need to use shift when you drag the songs to the library.
It's happened to me sometimes, too.

Unable to load songs onto Ipod from Intel Imac

I am unable to unload songs onto my 5th gen ipod from my Intel Imac. No amount of troubleshooting has helped so far; SMC, restore, swapping usb ports, swapping cables, PRAM, etc.
I can, however, load songs onto the ipod from my 6 yr old Tibook. This leads me to believe my Imac has a usb port problem, unless somehow my ipod is at the root of this issue?
The tibook's usb is 1.1, not 2.0, which makes for verrry loonngg load times and I woould much rather be able to load from my Imac.
Has anybody else encountered anything like this before?
Of course my Imac and my ipod are out of warranty - if my Imac (or my Ipod) are in need of repair, can anybody recommend or anti-recommend good repair services, preferably in the Seattle area?
please and thanks,

Yes, Itunes starts up, no dialog boxes at first but I can anticipate soon getting a whirling beachball of death oftentimes just by plugging in the ipod, definitely if and when I try to load any songs onto it.
I often eventually get a dialog box to the tune of ipod could not be loaded to for unknown reasons 1435. Thats the only one I remember right now, though it seems I have gotten slight variations on this theme.
The ipod appears both in itunes and the desktop, although if itunes freezes I cannot see the whole desktop to confirm at all times. Yes, the ipod does appear in the system profiler under usb.
Eventually the entire computer will be taken over by the wbbod, forcing a hard re-boot.
please and thanks,

Problem with certain songs and ipod corrupting itself

my 4g ipod has some serious problems with some songs, almost exclusively by bands with "S" names (something corporate, saves the day, and snow patrol off the top of my head - and I doubt it matters anyways). It will either play the first few seconds of the song or won't play it at all before it skips to the next track. I've tried converting the offending tracks/cd's to AAC with little success. While the song is trying to play the hard drive is clicking/vibrating/working at a rapid pace. I know this isn't a good thing at all, and there probably isn't a way to fix it, but if someone can fill me in with any info, it would be appreciated, as it's starting to happen to more and more songs.
Also, it corrupts itself about once a week and I have to restore and reload all my songs. This isn't a huge issue because I don't keep anything exclusively on the ipod but it is annoying.
Any advice, insight, or pity is appreciated.

it's now corrupting itself every time I plug it into my computer. I fear it may be a goner. Lasted a little less than 18 months.

Problems with burning songs onto a cd.

My problem is when i try to burn songs onto a cd i put in the blank cd and press the burn button but a few seconds later it tells me that the cd in not blank when i know its blank. So does anyone know how to fix this.

Theres afew things you can do, It could be the blank is damaged, try another one. Update the firmware for your Burner. iTunes seems to be extremly picky about burning compared to other Windows programs atleast

Itunes Problem with loading songs

I'm trying to load songs into my itunes. I select "File" then "Add File to Library". I have to do it 4 songs at a time. If I select more then 4 songs the stupid program just goes back to the main screen and loads nothing. I've updated my itunes to the latest version. No change.
Is this a "Feature" of the software or just a bug?

You can go to File -> Add Folder to Library, and then highlight a folder, and iTunes will import all songs that are in that folder, or subfolders of that folder, that it can recognize the format of.

Error mesage when trying to load songs onto ipod, computer is authorized

my husband and I have 2 different user IDs on vista and when I tried to load some songs from our public itunes directory onto his ipod, an error pops up saying this computer is not authorized to play these songs. When I try to authorize the computer in the itunes store it says, computer already authorized but I continue to get the error. I logged out of my account and back in but it still isn't working. Now when I tried to sync my iphone under my user id on the laptop I'm getting the error message that the computer is not authorized so it can't sync my iphone apps. It worked fine a week ago, this is not a new computer.

I have the exact same problem, meaning I have to reinstall a game I bought in iTtunes Store every time I plug in my iPod.
I just tried the signing out, restart, signing in proces, but it didn't work for me.. any other suggestions how to solve this?
I've been experiencing this problem ever since I updated itunes to 8.1, and even now after updated to 8.2 it's still the same..

Still having problems with loading cs6 onto new computer. adobe won't contact me?

I have posted this before and I did what was suggested, but have not had any luck with adobe support.
Problem: Mac laptop died. I have cs3 and upgrade to cs6 on the laptop, backed up to external hard drive. i'm trying to install now onto my new computer, but can't load it from the external hard drive, so downloaded cs6 upgrade from adobe from my products. i know i purchased and downloaded cs3 from adobe website, but it doesn't show up on my page. so when i download cs6 and it asks for my serial number, i put it in, but then it won't unlock the software because it's not detecting any other software (cs3) on my new computer. i was told that i had to contact adobe tech support, which i have done multiple times, but have not gotten any response back.
any suggestions?

Oh that's awesome!
Yeah, I have done similar things, that's why it came to mind lol
You're welcome, even though I wasn't a whole lot of help on this issue...
Have a great evening and feel free to return to the forums if you need any other assistance.

I can't get my files into quicktime.
If you select one of the clips in the browser and look in the Inspector>Info, what does it report at the very top on the panel?
Do you still have the tape? If you do, you could capture it with QuickTime to avoid getting such small clip fragments,

Problem with converting videos onto Ipod...

Why do I only have the video on my Ipod, without the sound, when I chose: "convert selection for Ipod"?? Does anybody know how I could solve this problem??

Use MPEG Streamclip or another converter to convert it to one of the formats listed here.

Problem with loading music, iPod isn't...

Whenever I plug my IPod into my PC and try to add songs into it, my computer tells me that "the [iPod] file cannot be found". I have an 80G, I'veowned it since Xmas(06), the iPod in question has three thousand songs on it, if means anything....
Thanks in advance, Bluu

I'm having a similar problem... 80GB video
I've had to restore it 3 times now, when iTunes tells me that the files cannot be accessed; "iTunes cannot read the contents of the ipod. Go to the summary tab in ipod preferences and click restore to restore this ipod to factory settings."
Each time I load songs onto it though, iTunes stops, halfway, quarter way etc. I can disconnect at this point, and listen to the songs it has put on, but when I reconnect it, it will sync for a while, stop again and then no songs will appear in the iPod list.

Problems with some songs in iTunes (and my iPod)

Hi,
I do not know whether this is the right category for my problem, but I did not find a suitable one.
I have problems with some songs in iTunes. They do not sound right. It is hard to me to describe my problem in English (thanks to apple's "great" support...I was not able to contact them personally except by phone). The songs "hang", they sound like someone reels (?) it. The problem does not only appear with iTunes but also with my iPod nano first generation.
My godmother brang me CDs where that problems appear (but not the whole CDs have that problem, only a few songs) from the USA - I live in Germany. Maybe that is cause of the error. But I cannot imagine that, because CDs there and here have the same format and I have several CDs from the US where is no problem at all. I am absolutely sure that the CDs are originals and not a copy, by the way.
Maybe you can help me, it would be great!
Thanks,
Jule

Yes, I thought that's what Restore should do, but the problems remain. Hmmm, the out of order 'album's' songlist is notated 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8... I'll try 01, 02...
Probably a good idea.
The other album is running through the list of songs like fast-forward, but not playing the songs. Then, iPod locks up.
Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes? What is the original source for these tracks? Were they downloads from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? What format are they encoded in and at what bitrate?

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
Computer Specs
Windows XP SP3
384MB of Ram (works really good)
USB 1.1 connection
Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
IPOD Shuffle Specs
2nd Generation
1GB (964MB)
Version 1.0.4
unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
Itunes Specs:
Version 8.1.1.10

This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.
