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.

Problems with home sharing - copy & paste music from one mac to another mac

Using home sharing and two macbook pros, I am trying to copy and paste music from one of the mac pros to the other. Sharing appear to be set up properly and the mac allows me to highlight the music i want to copy and then drag it to the music folder . The mac then indicates that fies are being copied...for example, it now says "copying 1 of 10". However, it never goes beyond this. After a while I click the "x" and start over, but nothing ever happens. Anyone have ideas? This shouldn't be that difficult.

no.
for home sharing to work, all machines need to be on the same network.

Moving purchased music from one account to another account

So I just purchased my first macbook. I am trying to figure out my next step in transfering my music. I am not worried about most of the music I want to transfer, as I can easily move it via thumb drive. My question pertains the purchased music specifically. I do not want to keep the same itunes account id as when I purchased the songs initially. (I was 15, long time ago. I would like to start fresh.) There aren't many songs that I purchased, and I probably won't want all moved, but I do not want to repurchase the songs again.
Is there any way I can get those songs onto my new mac, from my old and dying dell, without having to authorize use of a computer by an old account?
Would simply transfering via thumb drive work, or is there any other way I can go about doing this without losing about 100 or so songs that I spent money on?
I really do not want to keep the old itunes account id (I don't even have access to that email anymore), and have made a new one already.
Thank you to all in advance.

Do you want duplicated copies in both accounts? (that would be a terrible waste of space). The best way to avoid that would be to move your iTunes Music folder to the Shared folder on your Mac (Users/Shared). Then change your iTunes Preferences to point iTunes at this new location.
The other account should launch iTunes, then do the same thing.
You will now have a situation where the two accounts have separate iTunes Library database files (for playlists etc), but are using the same music folder. It is likely that only the original account will have read/write privileges to the actual music however.

How do I transfer purchased music from one account to another?

I just recently got an iPad3 and made a new iTunes account on it. My mom and I have been sharing one iTunes account for a while on my computer, but now that we both have iPads we would like seperate accounts. I'm trying to take the purchased music off the joint account and transfer it to my account so I can delete the old one on my computer and sync my iPad to my computer. Help???

Copying my music from one Mac to another

I have all my music on my Mac Pro iTunes and I would like to copy it all to my MBP iTunes.
They are both running Leopard.
Can anyone please advise on the simplest way to do this?
Thank you.

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your othercomputer is to network the two over ethernet and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them:
Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Mac
OS X 10.5 - Connecting two Mac computers using Ethernet
Another way is to put your original computer into target disk mode and copy the data over Firewire: How to use FireWire target disk mode
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a Mac this would be in Username/Music/.
If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
An alternative method would be to use a utility that syncronises iTunes libraries across computers. You could begin your research in tht direction by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync
syncOtunes

Want to record the output from one mac into another in real time

Here's what I'm trying to do, I'm not sure if it's possible:
I want to manipulate video clips (start, stop, pause, speed up, reverse, etc) on the regular timeline in FCP on a Macbook Pro. Then I would like to be able to capture that HD footage output via USB into another Macbook Pro, using either FCP or any other software (Quicktime, imovie) that might work. Is this possible? Or is there another way to do this using firewire or networking?

It is not HDMI...it is a high speed data port.
It is a slot on the left side of the computer, where the headphone jacks are. Older (two generations older) 15" and 17" models came standard with it. But the newer 15" models switched that slot to an SD card slot, and only the newer 17" models have Express34. If you have a newer MBP, you might not have that slot. If you have an SD slot there...then you don't have express34. In which case the only option for you is the AJA IO HD.
But not really. Because the IO HD takes over the firewire bus completely...meaning you cannot then connect a firewire drive to the system. ANd since playing video doesn't work over USB, and it might stutter on your system drive...this might not work.

To get Everything Across and to have it as you Now Have it...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

I want to copy purchase apps from one iPad to another. Possible?

No sweat. Sync both to the same computer's iTunes. You'll have to configure the sync characteristics separately. The iTunes keeps track of which is which by S/N. You might wish to rename one or both so that you can keep track.

Using the content aware move tool, I want to move an item from one image to another image but it does not seem to work. I think I need two layers on one document so how do I do this

Good day!
A simple Paste does not work for you?
It should place the clipboard content as a new Layer which you can then move around.
If there is any chance that the elements need to be scaled, rotated etc. I would prefer to place them as Smart Objects (File > Place …) and do the masking that is specific to the images themselves in those.
