There are a few specific songs I can never get to transfer from my G3 with OS X.1.1 to my iPod (manually or automatically). It is the same songs each time I update. When manually dragging just these songs over to my iPod, the iPod playlist text does not hightlight. Anyone else experiancing this? Any advice?
thanks,
Alex

That's a first... Wondering if your songs are off a standard CD? Some of the newer CD's have some sort of copyrighted protection/ encryption that supposedly prevents copying. Other CD's that are not off the shelf don't transfer under their respective song titles and simply get identified as track #'s. Have you checked that?
You might try deleting your offending songs off of iTunes and re-burning them under the same or different format. Say... MP3 or AIFF files and see if they get picked up by your iPod. Other then that, I don't what to tell you.

I've had a somewhat similar problem and finally figured out what it was. If you manually move an MP3 file (in the Finder) that is in the iTunes library to a new location, you cannot transfer that file to the iPod. You must first quit and restart iTunes. Even though iTunes knows where the file is (look at the path in the get info) and will play it, something stops it from transferring it to the iPod. I think that moved items aren't actually getting updated properly in the library until iTunes is relaunched. Perhaps this is what's happening in your circumstance?

I've had the same trouble.
No- the songs in question were not from a newer CD (Oasis - Standing On The Shoulders).
Even after removing the songs from iTunes, deleting them from the hard drive, then copying them fresh to the hard drive, importing them to iTunes, and trying to sync with the iPod, the same songs fail. I can get the first song in, but none of the others.
Highlighting only the others in the list and dragging them over the iPod listing fails to highlight it for transfer.
Time to try and re-rip them I guess (humbug).

Thanks for your replies- I think the only way to get around this problem is to grab the songs from another source.
