I transfered all my music over from my old to my new laptop but my playlists are not there. How do i get my playlists?

You need to transfer the iTunes library, not just the music.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.
Launch iTunes.
This is all you need to do

HT201269 I just bought a 5S Iphone and will be retiring my Iphone 4. The music copied from Itunes to my new phone, but the apps did not. How do I get the apps to copy to my new Iphone?

The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.
Alternatively, read the article from which the question was posted and follow the explicit instructions provided.

So I've bought a new pc and have HomeShared all my music/apps from the old to the new iTunes. When I plug my phone into the new computer, what will happen? I just want to be sure my contacts/calenders will be the same. What about the music/apps?

I have no problem resorting the apps and losing the playlists from the other iTunes. I just want to be sure nothing will be lost.

I would suggest backing up your iphone before doing anything. You can do that by right-clicking on the name of your iphone from the source list on the left side of itunes.
I hope this helps!

I am using Adobe Photshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?

HT204406 I tuned on IMatch, hated it, so turned it off. I want to get all my music back from the Cloud so that it sits locally on my hard drive. How do I do that?

Hello Tina,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you would like to download your songs from iTunes Match. You can do this by turning iTunes Match back on and clicking the cloud icon with the downward facing arrow next to the songs that you would like to download to your computer:
Available for Download
This icon appears when a song is available in iCloud and hasn't been downloaded to your local library.

this seems to me to indicate that Match copied the library up into the cloud and it no longer physically exists on my HDD???
No, this is not what iTunes Match does. When you enable the service it leaves all the original files right where they are and mirrors your library in the cloud by either matching tracks to tracks available on the iTune Store or uploading tracks to the cloud. The service does not delete files from your HDD.
I am unsure what you mean by "library icon" or "itunes library file" but if you mean the iTunes Library.itl file the size of that file is irrelevant.
Before you enabled the iTunes Match service approximately how many songs were in your iTunes library and where were they stored? On the internal HDD of the computer, or on an external? Also, do you have backups?

I transfered all of my info from my old mac to my new one..but

i transfered all of my info from my old mac to my new one..but the show up as 2 different user accounts..how can i make it only one??

Log in from one account, drag the other account's home folder from the Users folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, move anything you want into the corresponding location of the current account's home folder, and use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to remove the other account. You cannot delete a logged-in account or the only administrator account on the machine from System Preferences.

If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click: File>Transfer Purchases
This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

If iTunes purchases then:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you will have to get them from where you originally obtained them

If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
