Q: Not syncing new songs?

My new iPod touch has been working fine but recently it will not add new songs from my iTunes library when syncing. iTunes tells me it has succesfully synced but the new songs never appear. Ive tried creating a playlist and adding some old and some new songs, and the playlist is synced to my ipod but only the old songs appear in it. These are songs i've downloaded and not purchased from iTunes. Any help??

iPod touch, iOS 6.0.1

    Im having the same problem, and NOTHING is working.

    I was buying and syncing music with NO problems then all of a sudden the last 5 songs I downloaded just will not sync to my brand new ipod touch!

    I've even tried manually doing it like suggested here and still wont work! I had to go onto the ipod touch and look under recently added/downloaded to add them to the playlists I wanted. However, when I went to sync from my laptop just to see if it would finally work right...they disappeared off of my ipod touch!! I think Im just going to have to call Apple and see what the **** is going on.

    So frustrating.

    I had the same issue with a recent addition to my library. The album showed up in iTunes on my PC, so I wanted to add it to my iPod Touch (4th generation). I synced the iPod three times but the album still didn't show up.

    I ended up having to deselect the 'manually manage music' option, and then resynced all the music I had selected again - fortunately it remembered which playlists, artists and albums I'd selected before, so at least I didn't have to go through the whole selection process again.

    But deleting/resyncing everything takes ages and I really don't want to have to do this every time I add a new album.

    I hope Apple can get the problem sorted.

    I figured it out, apple was of no help.  Connect ipod to itunes.  It starts synchonizing but apparently that means nothing!  What I had to do is click file, then device which showed the name of my ipod.  Click that and then you have the option of choosing sync "name"ipod.  Ridiculous that the support page doesn't give you that information.
