Question

I bought a "new" iPod 5th gen and I can't sync my music like I did on my old iPod

I purchased a 'new' iPod 5th gen and did a restore from iTunes. All of my apps were synced but the music just says it's in the iCloud. I don't want it in the cloud, I want it on my iPod. I have iTunes Match and was told this may be the problem. How can I fix this? Please

iPod touch, iOS 8.3

This

iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

includes

When you enable iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.

Thus, you can't sync music with Match on

Thanks!!! That did it. I searched my iPod and found where to turn Match off and everything worked fine. Thanks again.
