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
Hi Jackie,
I've had this exact problem too. Sometimes it is because the Ipod's GB capacity is used up and there isn't enough space to load them. Other times, it's just being weird. What I do is I manually add them on my Ipod touch one by one. What you do is connect your ipod to Itunes. Then once you see the ipod icon showing it's connected and has finished loading and syncing, search the songs you want on it. Make sure they are all checked. Click on the first song and start dragging it to the icon; before you get there, it should expand and show several options including DEVICES and PLAYLISTS. Finish dragging it to the one that says Ipod Touch under DEVICES and when it is highlighted in a blue box, "drop it in", and it should automatically start syncing onto your ipod. Wait until it finishes loading, then repeat until all the songs you want added are on your ipod. Hopefully this helps... 🙂

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.
Not syncing new songs?
