for some reason, i can't seem to fill my ipod up. when transferring files to it, i'll encounter the beachball. today i couldn't add more tracks past the final 1.3GB mark without the transfer freezing. does this indicate a problem with the hardware (most likely the hard drive), a firmware bug, or something at the OS level like poor OS X firewire drivers?

advice, tips, tricks, suggestions... anything would be appreciated.

maybe they used a 1.5 gb hd instead of a 5 or 10 gb one? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

anyway, try resetting it by holding down the menu and play buttons for 10 seconds

it's a 5GB model. resetting it, formatting it, and restoring it all do not fix the problem.
