I would like to transfer a playlist and associated music from one computer to another in a home sharing network without transfering the entire itunes library. How would I do that?
you can transfer playlists using home sharing but it won't copy the actual music files within to the other machine.
however, i believe TuneRanger can do that.

I would like to transfer my iTunes and photos etc from my PC to my new iMac via a external hard drive. Would somebody recommend one. I read that the Western Digital Mybook Essential 3.0 is good. Though as Mac has 2.0 is this fast enough? I am a basic user, surfing only.
If you plan on using the WD with the Mac after the iTunes transfer I would strongly recommend against WD. WD external HD's tend to be the most troublesome with Macs. If you intend to use the drive for backup using Time Machine or creating a bootable clone then I'd recommend a higher quality drive than WD. The drives I'd recommend in that case would be:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
G-Tech G-DRIVE series
These are all high quality drives and enclosures with similar features. Personally I use the LaCie's however I would be happy to have OWC and G-Tech on my desk too. FWIW I've been using the LaCie's for 4 years and have 4 of them, all work perfectly and have never given me any trouble.

i have used homeshare between mine and my sisters computer. it worked perfectly, however when i try to use home share between my home computer and my laptop i can not click and drag music from my home library to my laptop. what can i do to fix this?
Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data. -

My old mac screen broke down and I would like to transfer my photos and documents to my new mac. Is it possible to transfer it with the cable without fixing my old mac screen? Please help!
Sure! If the two Macs have Thunderbolt ports, attach a Thunderbolt cable between them. If they have FireWire, or if one has FireWire and one Thunderbolt, connect a FireWire cable (with a TB adaptor if necessary). Reboot the old Mac holding down the T key. Make sure it's connected to power. You'll now see its system drive appear on the desktop of the other Mac and you can use Migration Assistant to automatically transfer files, or drag them over manually.

I would like to uninstall my old CS5 Design Premium from my computer to reinstall it on another computer. What are the steps? Is there something special with the activation codes, etc?
You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you prefer to you can keep ut on the current machine and just install it on the new one like you did originally. If you wish to eliminate it on the other machine, the first thing to do is to deactivate it by opening a program in the suite and selecting Help -> Deactivate in the top toolbar. That is all you need to do to disable the software. At this point if you prefer to you can uninstall it if you like.
As far as getting it on the new nmachine, as I just indicated, just install it like you did the first time. -
I'm picking up the new 2014 MBP tomorrow so should be installing over the weekend / next week.
I've been currently using a 2011 MBP with OS 10.7.5, using the "home" folder, which I will NOT be doing on the new one MBP with Mavericks.
What is the best way to transfer over the presets and preferences I want, WITHOUT transferring the ENTIRE HD with "target disc mode" or something similar? I am FRESH installing all APPLICATIONS.
Mainly it's the presets and preferences I want to transfer.
Thanks in advance.I'm picking up the new 2014 MBP tomorrow so should be installing over the weekend / next week.

HT3819 Can I transfer music from one computer to another via home sharing?
Can I transfer my music from one computer to another via home sharing?
So long as they are on the same wifi network, yes.
Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
If there's a lot of stuff in the library you're transferring from, the transfer may take some time. -

i want to transfer my music from one computer to another, however a large majority of my songs are already on the new computer, is there a way to transfer only the ones not there? or to see what songs are only on the one computer
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library. -
Why is the "Import" button grey when I'm trying to transfer music from one computer to another using Home Sharing?
Hi lexipuppy,
I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library. -
I have an Iphone 4s and have just gotten a new computer. I would like to transfer my contacts, photos etc. from my Iphone to my new computer so that when I need to sync my phone I will retain everything just as it is now on my Iphone. At the moment, when I try and sync my computer states that I will lose everything on my Iphone. Please help someone, I have too much on my phone to lose it. Thanks
The iphone is not a backup device. Everything should be on your computer.
Copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
