When I get new music, I try to load it onto my iPod, and when I do, all I get is the short pause saying it is syncing--but it doesn't actually sync. The music won't show up on my iPod and when I look at it on iTunes, it is a lighter gray color with the dashed circle next to it showing that it is waited to sync. How do I fix this so that I can load music onto my iPod?
iPod touch (5th generation)
Try:
- 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
- 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:
Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
