Got a new computer, did the home sharing, downloaded all tunes into new laptop but not all of the songs can be played now
as said above..New laptop, downloaded Itunes. Home shared, downloaded all tunes into new Itunes butalthough they are there some are greyed out and will not play. How do i fix this ?
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I found information on how to transfer my itunes library to a new computer. I am going to use an external hard drive for this to transfer my itunes folder to the new computer.
I will then download and install a new version of itunes on my new computer.
My question is this. When I do this, will itunes have all my album artwork for all my library? My library has a lot of my own music and I have spent quite a bit of time copying album artwork that itunes did not add. I am really hoping I don't have to do this again!
Thanks for your help!If you follow the directions in this Link...

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Hi emeldafromaz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend trying a thorough reinstall of iTunes as described here:

I dropped my iPhone 5c and it wont turn on but its constantly vibrating. I have tried holding the home and lock screen for a long time but nothing has happened. How can I fix this?
You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

I have an iMac with OS X Lion 10.7.5,an iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.2 and an iPad with iOS 7.1.2. all software is up to date. My problem is I do not receive all my e-mail on all 3 devices all the time. I seem to get them on my phone , but not all show up on my iMac or iPad. Any ideas as to what is going on and what can I do to resolve this issue? thanks
On the iPhone, go into Settings -> Store and turn off "Automatic Downloads" for Apps (and Music and Books, if you wish). You can also do that on the iPad to prevent it from going in the opposite direction.
That will stop any automatic downloading... to prevent them from coming over when using iTunes, select the phone (under Devices), Apps, and then uncheck "Automatically sync new apps." Again, do the same for the iPad if you wish. -
How do I transfer my itunes to a new computer if my home sharing isn't working?
I just bought a new Windows 8 computer but my iTunes isn't transfering to my new computer. I made a home sharing account on my old computer and logged into it on my new computer, but it just says searching for music then won't open anything. How do I get my music over to my new iTunes?
Thanks!

Please see question
Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either. -

How can I get all my previously purchased music.
What do you mean by 'does not work' ? If you would like help from these user-to-user forums then more info would be useful.
Do they songs show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ? If they do, but they don't have the cloud symbol against them for redownloading, then do you still have them listed in the Music part of your library (where you would click on them to play them) ? If you do then try deleting them from there and they should then get the cloud symbol against them in Purchased for redownloading.
If you are in a country where music can't be redownloaded,or if you've changed countries since buying them or they are no longer in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their content), then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library. -
Apple TV can't see my computer even though home sharing is on
I have just bought Apple TV. I plugged it all in correctly, and initially I had it all working. But now it asks me to turn on home sharing on my computer. Home sharing is on. It is on the same router as the iMac. I have checked it is the same apple id and password. I have updated to latest software in both apple tv and iTunes. I have rebooted both systems. Running out of ideas. I can access my online iTunes account on the ATV, but not my mac. Computer running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26. Any ideas?
I'm having this same issue. I have a Mac running 10.7.5 and Apple TV with latest software. Things had been working smoothly with Home Sharing, until I recently updated iTunes to 12.0.1.26. Now no other device can see that Mac or the home shared iTunes library. I've tried to see it with the Apple TV, iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro. I've tried putting the Mac both on wifi and ethernet (always using the same network), but nothing. I'm at a lose. Did you find a workaround with yours?

Why won't the home sharing automatically wake up my mac to share the library using apple tv 3rd gen
My Mac stays on however after a short while it goes to sleep mode. when i attempt to access the home sharing feture in apple tv i have to walk all the way over to the mac to wake it up in order for the home sharing to be recognized. Is there a way that Apple TV can tap into a sleeping Mac that it is synced to so this process can be streamlined?
Not sure if your problem is exactly the same as in the following thread, but JAHelms posted a fix that seemed to help quite a few people:
