If your iTunes library is anything like mine and is somewhere above 200GB, I recommend doing a firewire transfer from one computer to the other. If your computers have different firewire plug shapes, the adaptors are relatively easy to find in big box electronic stores. I found mine at Best Buy.

If it's music you ripped yourself, or is otherwise DRM-free, you can just copy the iTunes library and files over to the new computer via networked file sharing, or a USB hard drive or similar. When you open iTunes it should read the library files and load everything automatically.
Apple's support article on moving your music to a new computer should be ...

I use Identify 2. You can use it for free if you download it from the authors site, and if you like it, later you can pay for/register it. There's a version in the Mac App store that you have to pay for immediately. I found it worth the money, and think it's the best in class. It's also under active development, which has proven to be necessary.

Any program that can tag MP4s should work fine. MetaX seems to be a popular one for Windows that can pull data from various online databases.

First, select all voice memos in your library. Then right click on the selected multiple items and open 'Get Info'. Open the 'Options' tab and select Media Kind as 'Voice Memo' and keep the box checked. Close it.
Then, unckeck 'include voice memos' from the Music section on the iPhone in iTunes.
Now sync your iPhone without including voice memos !

Delete them from iTunes, so they don't show up in your TV section. But don't delete them from iCloud. Then they should appear with a download button on the poster for it if iTunes in the cloud is enabled (you will see a cloud in iTunes). You can either click that download button, or go to purchases in the iTunes store and download it from there.

Go to /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/
You can use Finder's Go to Folder to go there - paste in the path as above.

Why not review the manually manage support article and refine your question with the specific steps you took to set things up.

In a nutshell - you connect the iPod to Computer A and drag in the playlists you want. Then you disconnect it and repeat on the second computer.

Just click on the app
and push Command + "I", or right-click on the app and click "Get Info", or click on the app and navigate to File>Get Info (sixth command from the bottom).
All three of these will allow you to see the account name and email of the person who purchased them.

The simple answer is that you turnoff iCloud syncing for the things you don't want iCloud to sync.. Turn off contacts and then in iTunes it now offers you manual sync options

I don't know about any hacks for this (you probably could use AppleScript, but I'm not sure). However, I do know of two ways to do this:
If you change your view to List, you can view all your songs, sorted by Album.
If you change the view to Artist, you can view all the albums created by that artist, but, if it's made by more than one artist, ...

I tried many techniques and the symlink is the one I prefered for my library located on a NAS. Using any of the copy techniques, with auto-mounting and the like, you will eventually run into the situation where the mount or NAS is temporarily unavailable for X reason, and iTunes will reset its media folder location. You will then have media in two locations. ...

According to Apple official website, iTunes only works with QuickTime and MPEG-4 Movie files that end in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" and are playable in QuickTime Player. Therefore, if you try to import .avi movie to iTunes (including import AVI to iTunes 11) for syncing, it will end in fail in importing AVI video to iTunes let alone transfer this AVI file to ...

You say the apps were downloaded under your friend's account, and they are paid.
Paid = You pay for it -- not friend pays for it.
There is a limitation in iOS preventing this from happening - you will need to know your friend's Apple ID and password to open the app - to prove it was you who bought them.
But why?
Without this limitation, there would be an ...

I solved this trashing my preferences ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes. I don't know why I didn't do this earlier as it really should have been one of the first things to try.

One not very simple way:
create smart playlists for various ratings.
Create a simple playlist.
Drag and drop the smart playlist into the simple playlist. Drag the 5* list 5 times, the 4 star list 4 times, and the 3 star list three times.
This will NOT automatically update the simple playlist.

Worked as expected/hoped.
The main stumbling block that I hit was that my new AppleID address was already in use as my emergency email address (I deleted this to allow me to make it my primary email address).
The actual change went smoothly and without issue, afterwards all I needed to do was to log back into iTunes and my phone using my new AppleID.

Although quality will be lost when converting the bit rate to 128kbps, one option is to use a combination of a smart playlist in iTunes and Max.
1) Either back up music library or specify a different output directory in Max, and then re-import files to iTunes.
2) In iTunes, create a smart playlist where the bit rate is greater than 128 kbps for example.

Three things come to mind if you cannot update to the latest iOS or iTunes software:
Look in the console logs for actionable sync errors.
Try syncing from Xcode as opposed to iTunes.
Restore the iOS device (declining to update the iOS level) and attempt a clean sync from iTunes. (or Xcode)

You've actually posed two questions.
For the iTunes library, I'm assuming you've gone to the menu and Authorized This Machine to access your content. This authorizes the computer to access your paid content, meaning movies, tv shows, and songs downloaded through iTuens or via iTunes Match (if you enabled that on this machine too).
For contacts from your ...

The music sync is one way only-from computer to iphone, with the exception of itunes purchases. So if you purchase those music from itunes store, you can just download them again from the store.

And if those music are not from itunes store ...

Just enable "Automatic Downloads" in the iTunes preferences after having your computer authorized.

It looks like there is no way to see which specific computers are authorized; you can only see how many are authorized.
Per this Apple discussion thread, you will have to deauthorize all of them and reauthorize only the ones you want to be able to play.

I can make my iTunes show something similar, if I set some of the tracks in an album to a different Disk Number compared to the rest.
Try selecting one of the out-of-order tracks, then use File > Get Info to open the window I've shown here. Is there anything different about the information for the out-of-order tracks?

Try playing the greyed out songs directly on your iPhone. If you cannot do that, do the following.
Ensure that the greyed out songs are indeed playable within your iTunes library (not within the iPhone section of your iTunes library)
Connect your iPhone to your iTunes, navigate to your iPhone section > music, select all greyed out songs and delete them.

I have many devices that sync with my Mac and carry no apps on iTunes, so it's possible. I don't back any of them up to iTunes though and use iCloud for that.

It will likely depend on the pins you are using on the iPhone end. A modified cable should be able to cut the charge sense portion of the signal (or otherwise manipulate the call for charge signal) while allowing the sync portion of the USB signal to pass.

After having been on iTunesMenu for years I decided it was best to move on, considering the crashes.
So I found SmashTunes: nice and simple, plus it drops the radio station name (which is usually extremely long and just as useless)

There doesn't seem to be a way to turn shuffle on/off for independent playlists - it's either on for everything or off for everything - which is a hassle. In 10 it was easy to toggle back and forth between a shuffling playlist and a fixed playlist - something important if you need to use more than one playlist at the same time..

instead of using (artist; artist) or (artist/artist) you can also simply use (artist & artist) but it still doesn't fully do what you want it to do.

Adding Operating System and iTunes version is beneficial, as well the kind of searching you already did.
in iTunes, make a smart list (right-click the + button downleft)
make a rule like this: [date added] [is in the last] X [days]
click OK, and you'll find a smart list of most recently added numbers (if not, change 'X' to a bigger number).
good luck.
