Water Damaged Ipod and Dead Computer - Can I get my playslists back?

My Ipod was recently water damaged and I have not been able to switch it on since then, I tried the rice method with no success. I even opened it as I was past my warrantee to see if I could let it dry but nothing. I was planning on buying a new Ipod this month but in the meantime the motherboard of my computer died and I was told I'd be better off buying a new laptop.
The computer repair shop said they would be able to back up the contents of my computer but were unsure whether my playlists would still be there. Is there anyway I can get my playlists, music and most importantly song ratings off my backed up music on my external hard drive?
Please tell me there is a solution, I have spent years classifying over 60g of music
I'm not sure I can handle losing my laptop, my Ipod and my song ratings in less than a month....
Thanks!!!!

Tell the people who are backing up your computer to copy your entire iTunes Folder (NOT iTunes Music folder) to a different drive then copy that file to the new computer after installing iTunes.

    What do you mean? You can't delete the Calendar app.
    Just how did you delete the event?

  • I muted the sound while playing angry birds and now I can't get the sound back. I have the sound on ipod, just not with the games.

    I muted the sound while playing angry birds and now I can't get the sound back. I'm fine with ipod, just the games

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I accidentally deleted iPhoto on my mac and it says the the app was downloaded with a different apple id and now i can't get the app back without paying $14.99

    i accidentally deleted iPhoto on my mac and it says the the app was downloaded with a different apple id and now i can't get the app back without paying $14.99

    Did you install it yourself are somebody else for you?
    If you installed them yourself, but do not remember which AppleID you used, try all AppleIDs you might have used in turn.
    If somene else set up your Mac for you, ask the person to reinstall it. If you bought the mac second hand, the previous owner needs to contact Apple to transfer the iLife apps. If that is not possible, delete the apps that you cannot update and buy them using your AppleID.

  • I did an upgrade and now i can't get the bookmarks back in Safari like they used to be

    I did an upgrade and now i can't get the bookmarks back in Safari like they used to be. How can I get contacts back in the bookmarks. Also, why does Apple always change everything? Very frustrating.

    Unforunately, not that I know of.

  • Ipod nano 4th gen. accidentally synced to computer. can i get my data back

    I accidentally synced and erased conents on my ipod. Is it possible to get my data back?

    Hello cynthialou13,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I accidentally synced and erased conents on my ipod. Is it possible to get my data back?
    Not very likely, even with the use of recovery software. If the content that was on your iPod is not in your iTunes library, then it looks like you may be out of luck. Sorry.

  • Water damaged ipod and itunes

    My screen is blank and won't turn on but when I connect it to itunes I get a notification saying I have to enter my passcode in. Is there any way I can still unlock it? 

    Try DFU mode..

    However, the water damage may be the real problem and there may be nothing you can do.

  • In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

    In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
    Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
    Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

    If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

  • HT1727 My laptop was stolen and now I can't get my library back.

    My laptop was stolen six months ago, and I just reinstalled iTunes on a new PC.  I tried to login with my original username and password and got an error message, so I had to change my username and password.  Now when I login, my libraries are empty.  How can I get them back?  Thanks.

    Of course they are empty.  Logging into iTunes has NEVER caused content to magically appear.
    Use the backup of your computer to put everything back.
    If your backup was also stolen, or for some foolish reason you never created a backup, it is possible to download past iTunes purchases.

  • If the app wasn't what I was looking for and I payed can I get my money back?

    I bought an application to download free music I found very complicated, and I want to deleted but first I want to know if I can get my money back for which I payed for the app.

    The best way to find out if you are eligible for a refund would be to use Apple's Express Lane option. You fill out the form and they send you a reply and possibly the refund.

  • I deleted everything off my Ipod touch and now I can't get my music back on.

    A few days ago I deleted everything off my Ipod as there was stuff on there that I didn't want and that was taking up room. I seleted the 'erase all contents and settings' option as I thought that it would simply be a case of reconnecting it  to my computer in order to restore my music. But now when I connect it to the computer it doesn't pick it up in iTunes at all, its not under devices or anything. Also, when i turn it on now all that comes up is the apple logo, nothing else. I've tried everything from uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling the latest version to trying to restore my Ipod to its factory settings through iTunes but nothing works. I don't know if this makes any difference but i think it may have been jailbroken a couple of years ago (this was done by someone else not me) and that was what I was trying to delete, all the music and apps that they put on. Please help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Help!  I unplugged my Ipod and now I can't get anything to work...

    So, I made a mistake. I unplugged my ipod, when it said "do not disconnect".
    Now, when I plug it in to my laptop, Itunes freezes up, and doesn't sync.
    That means I can't restore the factory settings.
    Plus, everytime I plug it in now, it says "do not disconnect."
    What should I do? Should I reformat the Ipod drive? (it's an Ipod Photo)
    Any help appreciated.

    Did you get a response with a solution? i'm having the same problem, and my iPod mini won't connect to my car with the USB cable, which I think is related to the same problem. My iPod mini screen reads "do not disconnect" when it is plugged into my computer and I can only access my music w/ iTunes. Please let me know what you found out. I also have a nano, which is doing the same thing. Could be my computer is corrupted?
    Thx,
