iPod touch won't add new songs because of lack of space

That message either indicates that you are either trying to sync a lot more media that you think or files on your iPodare corrupt:

- for the former check your sync settings

- For the latter

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.

Come back with the results.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

To restore from backup see:

To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

The following steps should help, assuming all of the content you want is in your library.

(If it isn't see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device first.)

1. Backup device.
2. Restore as a new device.
3. Restore the backup you made earlier.

Then see my first previous reply. It covered "excessive" other.

Since you already restored from backup you either have to use a computer app or restore to factory settings/new iPod to resolve your problem

You're welcome. 🙂
