Has it always been like this on your mini? Trashing preferences/reseting spotlight index might help if something got...

    Try plugging the iPod in, then running a disk repair on it from Disk Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities folder). If that doesn't work, you need to try to take everything off and reimport.
