Please help. I can boot up my macbook pro and log in but after that all i see is the wallpaper, toolbar and the dock. In the dock it has 2 ? where the doc and download folders should be. If I open up a new finder window it doesnt show anything in there no hard drive or anything. If anyone konws how to help let me know please and thank you.

Agree with baltwo, though even if you have saved the install app I wouldn't use it unless its been used to install a known good copy of the OS already.
In your case, that probably means start fresh:
Restart the computer, holding down 'command' and 'r'. When the recovery disk window shows, choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X'.

IPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?

iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?

When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.

I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform. Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.
Kappy has provided a good article on running Windows on a Mac and the various options. Here is the link:

These are user to user technical assistance forums, and nobody here represents Apple or any store. In order to find out whether you can buy something at a particular store, you really need to find some way to contact the store directly.

Thank you.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.

If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this. It might help.

Try updating to iTunes 10.4.1 -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work, try resetting Winsock. It looks like that worked for quite a few people in this thread -> With iTunes 10.4 I can access iTunes store.
MTG68 wrote - In windows 7, click on your start menu, go to accessories, right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator". Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.

Uninstall the program. It should have come with an uninstaller. If not, contact the developer for instructions.
