Ipod Sync

I purchased a few songs on my iPhone 5s and they won't sync to my ipod touch. When I search the ipod it finds the songs but won't play them.

What model iPod?

What do you mean by "find"? How are you "finding" them?

Are you syncing from your iTunes library?

or

Are you downloading them directly to the iPod by

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If syncing then


If yo are syncing them then:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Unsync/delete all music and resync

To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music. The delete is only on the later model iPods

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
