ITunes library reset after updating to 11.0.5. and iPod not syncing

Question

I recently updated my iTunes to version 11.0.5., and after the update all my playcounts, playlists etc. were reseted. All the music's still there, but it's like a just started a new library. I'm very annoyed since I had accurate top lists for the past 4 years and now they're all gone.
Also, my two iPod classics won't sync after the update. iTunes recognizes them and it says "syncing" for a few moments and then completes it, but when I disconnect there's no difference in the iPod. It's the same with both. I tried changing back to iTunes 11.0.4.4. but the problem is still the same.

Hi,
I had a similar problem, all you can do at present to rectify this is to grab your playlist or new created playlist or song from the main library or playlist and drop it into the ipod tab under devices and it will auto sync the changes or songs. Hope this helps.
There seems to be a problem with the syncing of itunes 11 (mine is 11.0.5) when you just use the normal sync method. the above should work and has worked for me when transfering a playlist straight into the ipod it automatically syncs.
Regards.
