I'm having trouble syncing my iPod Touch with my MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.5. The new music that I add to iTunes on my computer doesn't transfer to my iPod even after syncing. The sync seems to proceed normally but when I check to see if the music came across, it's not there. Any ideas?
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Dear lllaass,
1. The iPod was brand new and has never been synced to anything else.
2. I have successfully synced from this iTunes library in the past.
3. I have updated both since the last successful sync.
4. The songs play perfectly in iTunes.
5. Haven't tried any other media.
I think my problem may have something to do with iCloud. When I attach my iPod to the computer and the device appears in iTunes, I get the familiar column on the left---
SETTINGS: Summary, Apps, Music, TV Shows, Movies, Info.
ON MY DEVICE: Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Audiobooks, Tones.
But when I click on Music (in settings), instead of a list of options, I get the following: iCloud Music Library is on. That is all. No option to sync entire music library or manage music manually. I have turned iCloud off on both the computer and the iPod but that hasn't helped any. I can't seem to get it to work.

Try backing up to iTunes and restoring from that backup. Then sync

NG. I tried backing up to iTunes and restoring from that backup but there was no change. None of my Recently Added music is getting onto the iPod even after a sync. Both the iPod and the Air are working perfectly otherwise but the sync isn't quite right. Any other ideas?
