I have a Dell laptop with iTunes installed on it, and an iPod touch 5th gen. with the most recent software update. But Windows just recently had an update and so I updated the software of my laptop and iTunes continued to work fine. But just a few days ago I turn my computer off and the the next day turn it back on in an attempt to sync my iPod but when I plug my iPod into the computer before I open iTunes, the iPod makes it open automatically and the terms and services agreement pops up. And I'm thinking why is this here again b/c I haven't updated iTunes or anything but i know it won't open unless I agree, so I agree. (But oddly, I think it said "save" instead.) So I click whatever it says (save or agree, I can't really remember) and iTunes opens but it's an older version of my library.
All my most recent songs are gone, and my iPod won't sync b/c it's not being recognized by iTunes. (When I started syncing this iPod with this computer I had to make it start over completely and erase all data to make it forget my old computer.) But now that it's the wrong iTunes library, it won't sync anymore. :/
I don't want to have to erase all my data again...But why did it do this? I've tried to go through and make it open the other libraries (holding shift and clicking on iTunes to tell it to open another library), but I can't find the most recent one. I'm assuming the library is still there on the computer but I can't find it, but I didn't delete anything and iTunes never warned me of any issues, so the library has to still be on the computer some where. I tried closing iTunes and reopening it but that didn't work, neither did turning the computer off and turning it back on.
How can I fix it?
Sidenote: all my songs were consolidated to that particular library. (If that matters.) And my iPod still seems to be working fine.
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 7.0.4
