Q: Transfer music from Mac to iPod

Numerous attempts to transfer music -  fail

Each time iPod is recovered, then continue and sync selected songs (one only each attempt as a test) no track appears after ejection

Tried to repair disk via Mac disk utility using mount/unmount icon - message is "unable to unmount volume for repair"

Suspect disk is corrupt from the iPod Smart Data

Retracts : 202, Reallocs : 1229, Pending Sectors : 3

Not sure what to do next - Help please !

    Each time iPod is recovered

    Does that mean you did a Restore on the iPod already?

    then continue and sync selected songs (one only each attempt as a test)

    Does that mean you are manually dragging songs to iPod in iTunes? 

    no track appears after ejection

    Does that mean, when using the iPod, it does not show any songs are on iPod?  If so, did you get any error message to indicate songs were not loaded on iPod?  When viewing the iPod's song list in iTunes (with iPod connected), do you see any songs on iPod?

    If iTunes is running, try quitting iTunes and then run Disk Utility.
