Have you actually selected what music you want to go onto your iPod from the new library?
In the screenshot above:
- select the Device and then Settings/Music (1.)
- turn on Sync Music (2.)
- choose either Entire Music Library, or Sync selected playlists, artists, album and genres (3.)
- If you choose the latter (sync selected...), then option 4. appears. Make your choices
- Click on the Sync button in the bottom right corner of the window
My other problem is iTunes won't allow me to make any changes. I was trying to rearrange music in my playlists. The songs don't move.
To rearrange songs within a Playlist, you need to have the first column (the numbers column) selected, as shown below:
A Regular Playlist will probably already be in this state, but a Smart Playlist will need you to select the column first.
I also tried to move new music from "recently added" to playlists I have - nothing.
You do not "move" songs from one playlist to another; instead, you add them to another Playlist. Select the song and then click on Song/Add to Playlist. I use Windows, but the iTunes layout should be similar:
when you move the cursor over Add to Playlist, a list of all your existing Regular Playlists appears. Drop your song into the one you want. Note that you cannot drop a song into a Smart Playlist.
To recap, if you actually wish to move a song from one playlist to another, that is, you want to delete it from a particular playlist and add it to another one, simply add the song to the new Playlist and then delete it from the existing one.
You cannot delete a song from a Smart Playlist, or drop it into one. To add or remove a song from a Smart Playlist, it needs to match, or not match the rues of the Playlist.
