impossible to add music to ipod touch
Recently it has become impossible for me to add music to my ipod. I manually manage the music on my ipod and when dragging tunes over to the ipod the "preparing update" status takes unusually long, after which the songs are not added but appear greyed out with circles next to them, unavailable on the ipod.
I tried updating both ipod and itunes software in hopes of ending the problem, however it only added a new one, and now songs sometimes get deleted from the ipod, with exclamation marks appearing next to them. It usually seems to happen when the ipod is plugged in and I play a song on the ipod through itunes, and suddenly it, and often many others down the list, get the "!" mark and dissapear from my ipod. I've even had it happen with songs listened to on the ipod just minutes before.
Also, often when deleting music from my ipod via itunes they remain on the ipod, and when deleting songs from the ipod via the menus on it, they still appear when viewing the ipod in itunes. So usually songs have to be deleted both places to properly disappear.
I wonder if anyone else have had similar problems, and perhaps have found a solution?
iPod touch, iOS 9.3.2
