Ipod classic 80g does not received new items from itunes library after synchronization

This problem did not exist until I got a new computer. Are there any known compatibility issues (remedies) with Windows 8? Thanks.

iPod classic, Windows 8

Since this is a new computer with a different iTunes library, did you set up automatic syncing?


Select the iPod in iTunes. You see the row of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Unless you set up syncing, nothing gets synced when you click the Sync button.


NOTE: When you set up automatic syncing from a different iTunes library, the current content of the iPod is replaced by the content of the iTunes library.


Check the box for Sync Music. If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply. You don't have to read the rest...


Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres, then select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod, from the lists below. Those new items must be part of the selection, or they will not sync.


Here's one convenient way to set it up. In your iTunes library, create a new regular playlist; call it something like "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). From your iTunes music library, load that iPod Songs playlist with ALL the songs you want on the iPod. On the iPod's Music screen, find and checkmark that iPod Songs playlist (under Playlists). When you click Apply, those songs sync to the iPod. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that iPod Songs playlist in iTunes (add and/or remove songs) and then connect your iPod. iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes. If the iPod is already connected, click the Sync button to update the iPod.
