Why can't I open iTunes on my brand new macbook pro after using Migration Assistant to transfer content from my previous mac?

I just purchased my new macbook pro yesterday and I used the Migrations Assistant to move files from my old mac to this one. Everything seems to be in working order EXCEPT iTunes. every time I try and open it a message appears telling me to download it and a second window also comes up saying error (-42408) occurred. I have tried to download iTunes7 and even plug my iPhone is but nothing has worked. Help!

Why is there no data on my new MacBook Pro after using Migration Assistant?

Last night I launched Migration Assistent between my MacBook to my MacBook Pro. It said it would take 12 hours so I left it over night. When it finished this morning it said that some files were not able to be transferred. But there is absolutely nothing on my new MacBook Pro. Why is that?
My TimeMachine backup disk has a cable that won't work with the new MacBook Pro so what other choice do I have to transfer data?

How can I tell if data was transferred to my MacBook Pro after the Migration Assistant process was stopped?

I began Migration Assistant and after about 4hrs into the transfer I decided to quit. How do I find out if any data was transferred to my Macbook Pro from my Windows 7 pc?

I've had my MacBook Pro Retina since the 17th and am only now realising that my firewall was not on. I've already connected to a network via ethernet at my job so that I can have access to the internet. How can I tell if my personal info is safe?
As long as you are behind a router, you don't need to have your firewall turned on at all, in fact it probably slows your computer and/or internet connection down a bit. The only time you need it is to either protect yourself against intrusion from others on your local network or if you hook your computer directly to a cable / DSL modem. See Thomas Reed's Do I Need a Firewall?

I am trying to use migration assistant to transfer files from my old mac to a new mac book pro, I have the ethernet wire, but there is no ethernet point on my new mac pro, so how else can i do it?

You can do it wirelessly, but that will take some time... you could also purchase a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter or a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter. That would certainly be faster. You should be able to purchase either adapter at your local Apple Store or at the online Apple Store.
Good luck,

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

HT204350 Can I use Migration Assistant to transfer data from macbook running 10.7.5 To a macbook air running Mavericks? On first attempt destination machine says that os versions are not compatible for Migration Assistant.

I am trying to transfer contents from old macbook running os 10.7.5 to a macbook air running os 10.9.1 using migration assistant but the destination macobook air says that migration cannot proceed (yellow triangle) because the os on the macbook is not up to date (assuming that eans 10.9.1). However old macbook cannot be updated to 10.9.1.
Can anyone suggest a way around this please?

Try looking at this section in the Migration Assistant article.

Can't connect to iTunes Store with brand new MacBook

I've looked at several other posts but nothing working. Able to get to iTunes Store with my account and the PC that I'm trying to dump for the new MacBook. Anyone have thoughts? I can connect to all other web sites.
Thanks for helping.

There seems to be a problem accessing the iTunes Store through a proxy server. I found support documentation that says to redownload itunes and install 8.0.1 (12) the previous version was 8.0.1 (11) but I still can't connect to the store.

How can I recover my iTunes files to my new macbook pro?

DESPERATE:I had over 400 music iTunes purchased music files on my iMac G5 PowerPC which died. No problem, I thought, "I'll just restore from my external hard drive that I have been backing up too periodically" - apparently it's also dead - will not mount at all to my MacBook Pro (it's a Lacie). So I paid $130.00 this week to have a computer repair shop take the hard drive out of the old dead iMac and put it in an enclosure so I could do a data transfer from it to my MacBook Pro.
Wasted money. There is NOTHING showing in my user "Music" or "Photos" folders on the old hard drive...so now what are my options? Is there ANY way to get back the hundreds of $$ I've spent buying music from iTunes for past 6 years?? geez...

Why does it take over 30minutes for my brand new MacBook Pro to sign me in?

I purchased a macbook pro 2 days ago. I am not familiar with mac's, but the first day it worked fine, but after i shut it down and attempted to start it up again it takes forever. The computer starts up and i enter in my password, but then the screensaver screen just stays on and doesn't actually log me in until about 45minutes later. When it does actually log me into the main screen with the deck, it freezes up if i click on anything. This is a brand new computer, why is this happening?!

This is very unusual. A normally operating Macbook Pro should have you signed in and running in well under 60 seconds from cold boot.
Most likely is that the software installation on you machine has been corrupted. It's not possible to efficiently work through all the possible problems over the forum. The root causes can range from a bad preference file up to a corrupted file system. Because your are a very new user and the problems are so severe, my approach to your situation would be to completely erase your drive and reinstall OSX and your applications from scratch. That way you eliminate nearly all variables.
A more conservative approach would be to fix permissions on the drive and/or repair the drive using disk utility (after booting from the OSX install disc) That MAY fix things, but if things are this bad, AND you are new on the machine and presumably don't have much work saved on it anyway, I'd just start anew.
This is very unusual for a Mac. Typical reliability on my Mac's lets me keep some up and running without reboot for 6 months. Yours is definitely in a bad state.

So I'm trying to connect all of my music and apps to iTunes on my brand new MacBook Pro, but I don't seem to know how to. Help please?

Please help! I really need to know, thanks

Adobe CS4 Indesign plugins missing when installed on brand new MacBook Pro. How can I get these missing plugins? Indd. files will not open

Please Help!
Adobe Chat doesnt deal with old products
Apple Genius Bar says to talk to Adobe.
HAD a 2008 MacBook Pro with Adobe CS4 installed
now have a brand new MacBook Pro (and used my time machine to back up from my old mac) and when trying to open InDesign files - gives a list of plugins that are missing and will not open the document.
I'm a graphic designer- so this is not an option..
Please Help!

You can install Adobe Programs ONLY from the originals installer which is provided from Adobe. Time Machine (which is a form of migration) will not result in working Adobe programs. As Bob said, use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, which is also working for CS versions, to wipe out everything from Adobe and start with a clean installing.
I am not sure, if CS4 is running on Maverick, at least it is not supported officially, your are here alone. It might be so that you have to upgrade your software to a later version.

Can't open old AppleWorks files on new MacBook Pro w/Snow Leopard

Just bought a refurbished MacBook Pro, did the migration from my old (2 yrs) MacBook via FireWire. Many of the old application icons are not appearing in my Dock, just Question marks ???. When I click on a ?, it indicates the name of that app which was there on the old MacBook, but there's no icon & I can't open the app from there. I can't find my Adobe Reader app, & several others, on the hard drive. Maybe I can find a work around for those....
BUT - zillions of files in the old AppleWorks/ClarisWorks files open in sometimes unreadable text, with all formatting gone. I NEED these files!! Please help!!

Thanks for your reply. When I try opening an AppleWorks documents with Pages as you suggested I get the message that the AppleWorks document is damaged.
Ahh...then it may actually be damaged. All of my old AppleWorks docs (word-processing docs) are opening just fine with Pages. On the other hand, if the AW doc is a drawing or database doc then Pages might not be able to open it. If the AW doc is a spreadsheet, it might open with Numbers.
Would you suggest that I use Migration Assistant to transfer my older files from my iMac to my MacBook (rather than using the thumb drive?) Will it ask me about overwriting files? My concern is that it may erase some changes to newer versions of documents that were on the thumb drive.
I do have the installation disk for my MacBook and all disks for the iMac.
No, If you still have your AppleWorks installation disk, I would suggest installing it and trying to open the 'damaged' docs that way. Later, if an item won't open in Pages but will open in AW, then resave it in AW as a generic format that Pages will open. In this way you can move these docs from the now unsupported AW and into Pages format. If we wait too long, we may not be able to install AW at some point in the future and then your old docs will be orphaned.
