Hi TMSlattery,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on the description of the issue, it sounds like your computer isn't able to reach the Mac App Store (iTunes Store) or iCloud servers. I would recommend the troubleshooting here:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on a Mac
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store, a software conflict or your Internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking your access.
Update iTunes and Safari to the latest version.
If you have a firewall, your settings may be preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store. Follow these steps to configure your firewall.
You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Learn how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain.
If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.
Cheers,
- Ari

i can connect my tc to the internet and back up my iMac, but it will not back up my mac book pro... ANY thoughts?
When I go to connect my MBP, it says I have the wrong user name and/or password; however the names and password are the same on both computers.
The MBP connects smoothly to the internet, just not the TC.
Does this help?
There is no login name required to get internet unless you are running a vpn or pppoe client.
The wireless uses a security key.. but that is fixed in the wireless setup.. so no user login should be required at any time.
It sounds to me like you have the wrong setup.
Please do a screen shot and post it of the imac setup that works.. show us the airport network with its ip address and where you are putting in the login.
Please also do a snapshot of the TC and how it is setup.
What broadband do you have?
Is the TC a router or bridged? -

Battery will not charge on my Mac Book Pro.
I recently (as in, a few months ago) replaced the battery on my Mac Book Pro, because I had overcharged my previous one into oblivion. Since I replaced the battery, however, the computer has been working fine - until today, anyways. The computer will not work without being plugged into the charger, and when it's on, it insists that the battery needs replacing, despite having a cylce count in the 80's. In the spirit of full disclosure (and getting help with this issue), I will mention that there is some small damage on one of the corners on the laptop. I don't know how the damage was caused, I just woke up one day and it was there, but I doubt this has any relevance, as the damage is nowhere near the battery. Regardless, any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated, as I would prefer to not replace a (relatively) new battery.
1. I suppose it wasn't over-charging per se, but instead just that I used it too much while the charger was plugged in and the battery was at full, which can kill your battery.
2. The damage I described happened unbenkownst to me, therefore, as far as I'm concerned, it was fine one day, and damaged the next.
3. I realize the damage may have relevance, but said damage would then require a completel overhaul/replacement of the computer, seeing as that would likely mean the damage would be affecting the computer. I am more inclined to believe that the battery is, for some reason, not registering.
If I can't find an answer, I'll simply take it into a store to have it looked at, though obviously I'd prefer to explore simpler solutions, as the closest Apple Store is not close at all. -
The movie I purchased from my Apple TV is not on my acct when I signed on my mac book pro. Is there something else I have to do to have my movie library updated on my macs?
Welcome to the Apple Community..
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer. -
os x could not be installed on Mac book pro because storage system verify or repair failed.
When i open disk utility HDD does not let me repair.In order to repair the system disk you must boot from another disk drive. The operating system will not allow the disk drive it is running from to be repaired.
Book the MBP and create a bootable clone on an external disk drive. Then boot from the external disk drive and repair the system disk drive from there. -

Where can I find one of those soft silicone body covers (not hardshell) for the Mac Book Pro? And is this a good idea since Apple no longer makes them? I-phones use them now.
Personally I use the Speck hard case on both of my MacBooks and they are the greates! Look around on Amazon and eBay and you can find them for $30-40. I wouldn't really recomend a silicon case for a macbook, but it's your preference.

I have purchased the last Creative Suite available on disk. It will load on my old Mac Book Pro. I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and just realized there is no place to put a disk. Is there any way to load the programs to my new computer?
Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software. -

My audio stops outputting after a few songs in a playlist - itunes says its still playing, stopping and starting track recommences audio output. Mac book Pro Lion 16gb ram. Can be any song, any time, same song will play if I select it again. Bit of a bummer itunes is the main thing I use (macbook pro jukebox).
Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
Best of luck

I am attempting to open MPEG4 files on my Mac Book Pro and it is saying that the file cannot be opened because a codec is missing. I downloaded both QuickTime Player 7.6.6 and also QuickTime Player MPEG2 and neither one of them are helping with my problem.

I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine". I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). I can only access time machine back up data that I've obtained since starting the new mac book pro. Tnx so much
Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".

I recently purchased an HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One J611 series printer and it is not compatible with the version of the operating system on my mac book pro. I am currently running on OS X 10.4.11 and the printer is compatible with v10.5 or higher. What can I do to update the operating system on my Mac Book Pro?
10.5 will be harder to find & more expensive, I think I'd go for 10.6
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Apple no longer has it for sale.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It looks like they might still have it...
