L can not find my playlist,play count, etc. on my new macbook itunes

I have recently purchased a macbook. i have about 22G of music oon my external hard drive. I have moved about 6G of music from my external HD to my macbook. I can not figure out how to get my playlist, play counts and ratings on the macbook. I do not want to add all of my original itune music 22G because i will be away with my laptop and i need the space for other things. I am not able to bring the External HD. I hope someone can help me with this. thanks

To transfer your iTunes metadata (tags, playcounts, playlists, etc) you need to locate and transfer the iTunes Music Library file from the original computer to the MacBook.
The easiest way to do that is to export the iTunes Library data as an XML file, email to yourself, and save it on the MacBook's desktop.
Now open iTunes and from the file menu, select Import, and navigate to the xml file, and select. This will add all of the data you are looking to put on the MacBook. However, you will get all of the songs - not just those that were added to the MacBook's hard drive. These will have the dreaded next to the name. If you can live with this, this is the easiest way to add your metadata.

I downloaded (purchased) an audio book on my iPad 2. I can not find it. I wanted it to go to either iTunes or i book. No where to be found. However I did get verification they got my payment.

It should be in the iPad's Music app (iTunes on an iPad it just the store for buying/downloading content, and iBooks is for ibooks, PDFs, epubs i.e. books for reading) ? When you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

Can anyone tell me why I can not connect my Blackberry or my iPhone to my new Macbook pro? I had no problem with my old Macbook.

Follow these steps, testing after each.
Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Restart your device.
Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
Check for a carrier-settings update: Connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > General > About, and install any available carrier-settings updates. If you can't connect to Wi-Fi, connect your device to a computer that has iTunes.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.

iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1538
Click on the link above to see the complete article. I've hightighted the information pertinent to Windows 7 for you.
Restart

Update your computer
Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
Make sure your iOS device trusts your computer
If you connect your iOS device to your computer and see "If you have not connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust," make sure that your device trusts the computer.
Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7

If you see a message that reads: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers instead).
Click Open in the Have Disk window. Click Next. Then click Finish. Windows will install the driver.
During installation, if a message appears stating that the software you are installing "has not passed Windows Logo testing," click Continue Anyway to continue installing the drivers.

If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed
Disconnect the device from the computer.
Save a screenshot by pressing the Home button and the Wake/Sleep button at the same time (the screen should flash briefly). Taking screenshots and saving images on iPod touch requires iOS version 2.0 or later.
Reconnect the device to the computer.
Open the Device Manager in Windows:
Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Click Start.
In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc.
Press Return.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
Expand all the sections labeled below (not all sections might be listed):
Imaging Devices
Other Devices
Portable Devices
Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Look for the entry that recognizes the device as a camera. This entry should be called Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod.
If only "Unknown Device" appears:
Right-click on the "Unknown Device" entry.
Choose "Properties" from the shortcut menu.
Click the Details tab.
In the drop-down menu, select "Hardware IDs."
If the hardware ID displayed starts with:
USB\VID_0000&PID_0000
This means that Windows cannot read the hardware IDs of the device, and so has replaced them with all zeros. This is typically caused by a faulty USB connection, or an incompatibility with your USB chipset drivers.
Disconnect the device, and unplug all USB devices from your computer.
Shut your computer down, then power it back on.
Reconnect your device, testing each USB port for approximately 30 seconds to see if your device is recognized.
Test with an alternate, known-good 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable if available.
If you have an external USB 2.0 hub available, connect the hub to your PC, and then connect the iOS device to the hub.
If your device shows up in iTunes, try disconnecting the external USB 2.0 hub and connecting the iOS device directly to your PC. If the issue returns, you may need to use the external USB 2.0 hub as a temporary workaround. Then, consult your computer manufacturer for any updates for your USB chipset.
If "Unknown Device" appears when connecting your device to more than 1 known-good computer, with more than 1 known-good USB cable, your device might need service. Learn more about your service options.
If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode
Your device might not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically, when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state:
Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Click Start.
In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc.
Press Return.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
Click the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries might or might not have exclamation marks on them.
If you see only one "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" entry that has no errors on it:
Find out if the computer has USB 3.0 ports. Within Universal Serial Bus Controllers, locate any entries containing "USB 3.0" or "SuperSpeed USB" in the title. If these are listed, you have USB 3.0.If you have USB 3.0:
Try to connect the device to a different USB port. Try each port until the device is recognized. Some computers will have dedicated USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. If so, a USB 2.0 port might resolve the issue.
Refer to your computer manufacturer for updates to the USB 3.0 chipset drivers.
If the issue persists, continue to "Check for third-party software conflicts."
If you do not have USB 3.0
Continue to "Check for third-party software conflicts."
If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them:
Open the Device Manager and connect your device.
Click the View menu.
Select "Devices by connection."
Locate the erroneous "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries. You might need to expand all sections of the Device Manager to see them.
Directly above these entries will be a USB Composite Device entry.
Depending on your version of Windows, take the following steps to update this driver:
Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8:
Right-click the parent USB Composite Device entry.
Choose Update Driver Software from the shortcut menu.
Click "Browse my computer for driver software".
Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
Click the Have Disk button.
In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps.
Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly, and continue restoring your device.
Check for third-party software conflicts
Certain phone and cellular device connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, Sony, Android, LG, Sierra, Huawei, Pantech, or Motorola might cause your device not to be recognized. If you have such software on your computer:
Uninstall the phone or cellular connectivity software temporarily, and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this. If you use the third-party phone or cellular device for your Internet connection, try connecting to an alternate network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Remove iTunes and all related Apple software.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
After reinstalling iTunes, test the device.
If you still need your third-party phone or cellular connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your device to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
Also, third-party security software might conflict with iOS devices connecting to iTunes. Follow this article to troubleshoot issues that might be caused by your security software. After resolving any issues that you might have with your security software, you might need to try the steps in this article again.
I hope this information helps ....

No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

I'll leave it to Steve and Bill as to whether the fix offered in the link for Premiere Elements 2 would still be applicable to your version of Premiere Elements.
Hope this is of some assistance.
