Ipod Touch will not accept new podcasts

I use my ipod touch a lot for listening to podcasts while riding my bicycle.  I have playlists set up so my favorites can play in the order I place them.  Today I noticed that one of my podcasts was not showing up in the playlist on the ipod.  I tried dragging it over to the device and synched it multiple times.  Then I looked at the podcasts on the Touch through iTunes to see that different podcasts were there but grayed out with a grey, dotted circle next to them. 
So after some searching I read that this can be caused by the ipod being full.  So even though I showed over 3gb free, I deleted some music and podcasts to free up another 3 gb.  No luck.
Then I read that I should click on "Manually Manage music".  I did that and still no luck. 
I've searched around the forums to find several people complaining of this but it is mostly concerning music and authorizations etc but these are free podcasts so I can't imagine there's any issue like that. 
Does anybody have any idea why this would be going on?  I'm ready to restore the thing but I remember that process as being a big pain.
Thanks!

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You have to either:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
Also, are the apps compatible with iOS 6? Many apps now require ios 7. hOWEVER.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • My new ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.

    My new Ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.  My two laptops, and Ipad are already on.  I have tried resetting and still it will not sync.

    What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

    Error 11 is a strange one...if you search the discussions for error 11 you will get a number of hits but none with a real resolution other than getting the iPod to restore, which you have done.  And one person indicates this does not appear in the support data base...already found that out.
    If you have restored, have a backup and can restore from that, you might try the update again, or wait for the next update whenever that comes out. 
    Not a very satisfactory answer but if it is working again...

  • My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

    My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

    All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
    But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

  • Ipod touch will not turn on unless plugged in

    My Ipod touch will not turn on, Ive plugged it in and it comes on it has a charge but as soon as I unplug it it goes black ... I have tried to restart it but there is just a black screen

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup

    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • My 2nd generation iPod touch will not connect with the newest version of iTunes (December 2012 update). My computer(windows7) says the device is connected when i plug it in, but it will not show up in iTunes. Can anyone help?

    As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!

    It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

  • My ipod touch will not stop playing music

    My ipod touch will not stop playing music. I will pause the music, leave the playlist, and after 30-60 seconds, the music starts playing again. I use my ipod when I run and when I drive (hook it up to the stereo). It is very annoying when I stop to take a phone call or listen to directions, turn off my music, and then hardly a minute into my stop, the music starts right back up again.

    FUEL1996, not correct. Apple does not allow one app to control another app.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?
