Hi,
1.What songs are you trying to download on ipod ? If they are video songs then its ok as it consumes larger space than audio because of graphics.
If they are not audio files then
2..Please check your Ipod memory..
3.Check ipod if you have any video file as it consumes larger space.
3.Delete them and try downloading songs... and see.
Hope it helps !!
Awaiting response..

1. Have you tried charging your Ipod from another source other than the computer? Maybe a car charger for an Ipod or a kind that can be plugged into the wall. Ipod chargers are very inexpensive.
2. If that doesn't work try rebooting your Ipod with your Ipod program you were given to manage your Ipod.

3. Make sure that when downloading songs that they are Ipod compatible, meaning that they are mp3 ready. Before downloading a song you should be able to see the credentials the song has for downloading. Most of the time if the format cannot be changed to being mp3 ready, most likely the song won't convert to your ipod.

make sure on itunes it says sync all selected songs(make sure all songs you want to download are selected)then try to sync it again if thats not your problem it could be a bad i pod

here you go
