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,

    First off, you don't have an iPod classic, it was never issued in a 30GB version. Check this link to see what iPod you have.

    Secondly, it may help to provide further info such as whether you are using the iPod automatically or manually to transfer music and whether or not you see any error messages.
    Does iTunes see the iPod? What happens when you try to transfer songs?

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • How to import songs onto iPod from two computers?

    this probably was posted before, but is there anyway to upload songs from two different computers?
    i have songs on my mom's computer that i dont have on my dads.

    Try turning off auto-update. Right click your iPod, and go to iPod Options. Under music, click 'manually manage songs and playlist.' It should work after that. You will probabl have to do it on both computers.

  • 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.

  • I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
