Cannot access itunes account with my Macbook pro

Hello.
My macbook pro died recently and I had to reinstall the system. After reinstalling, I upgraded to mavericks. I lost iphoto and could not even access backup (time machine) disk. Anyway, I am able to access my itunes account through the Apps store or Ibooks.
However when I try to access my itunes account/authorise my computer I get the message "We could not complete your itunes request. The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Funny because I could access itunes through my ipad and iphone.
Now, I could not sync my phone or ipad with my macbook without deleting their content! I could not even back them up through my macbook without deleting them.
I could not access my last time machine back up before my macbook died.
Any ideas what I could do?

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone? Can this be done?

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.
Kindest Regards,
Phil T.

You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

If it's in a single iTunes library, it's already being shared. If it's in separate user accounts on the computer, move one library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, point it there, and import the music from the other library to it.

Will the superdrive work over Wifi with my Macbook Pro Retina display;

Why can I not access iTunes Match on my MacBook Pro?

I want to subscribe to iTunes Match, but when I click on the 'Match' tab in iTunes 11.1 it just shows 'iTunes Match' and none of the descriptive text I have seen previously. I have seen this as much as two days ago, and now it's not there. It seems like all links are broken as when I click 'Subscribe' from the web it does nothing and clicking 'Turn On iTumes Match' frm the iTunes menu does nothing.
I've tried restarting with no success. I am on a 2011 MacBook Pro, running OSX 10.8.5.

Try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and log out of your account and then log back in and see if the store's pages then show. If if doesn't then you could try closing the iTunes store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it, and/or try a soft-reset.

Cannot access iTunes account or App store

I cannot log into my iTunes account or my App store, I keep getting the following error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
I have tried all the possible solutions I have been able to find so far but they all involve checking updates etc which I cannot do because I can't access anything.
I have also tried the Keychain thing and that there was nothing there that needed to be amended either - does anyone have any ideas on how to help me please?
Thanks in advance

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Trouble with using WoW on Mutable User Accounts with new MacBook Pro

My son just got a new MacBook Pro*. I installed WoW on his account and created an account for me; both are admin accounts. He can startup WoW just fine, but when I start the Launcher, I get a message that the launcher can't download information about the next patch, and to check my network. If I launch the game directly, the icon just bounces on the dock and then quits.
I have checked the permissions and they look good.
The console log reads:
11/18/10 12:48:40 PM Firewall[58] Launcher is listening from 0.0.0.0:9112 proto=6
11/18/10 12:48:43 PM Launcher[490] nRet = 1
OR without the firewall
11/18/10 12:55:58 PM Launcher[544] nRet = 1
* Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2

I have posted to the Mac Tech support forum, and heads are being scratched. I was wondering if 10.6 was different from 10.5 with regard to mutable users. NOTE that WoW will only work on intel based macs now. so this poor tired old box is done for.
Besides, as I hear it, it is a legacy machine now.

I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups before I passed away
I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
Apply to Enclosed Items
from the popup menu.
Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

Set date and allow cookies. Cannot access iTunes account

Any ideas? Thanks...

How to combine external hard drive iTunes account to my MacBook Pro's iTunes account?

Hey All,
I have external hard drive that contains my Macbook Air's iTunes account, and I want to combine it to my 'main' MacBook Pro's iTunes account.
I have spent endless hours organizing the music on my external hard drive (ie: genres, groupings, comments, etc) and am hoping to retain all of this precious information.
I am a newbie and obviously not very tech savy.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Ask me anything to assist in the process and I will get back to your promptly.
Cheers,
Danny

I just answered a question like this about an hour ago so I won't type it all in again. No, there isn't an easy way to merge libraries. You can copy the entire iTunes library to the internal drive and then try to export playlists and import them into the other library, Haven't done it myself but it may work. Fortunately most of the things you mention are contained inside the files themselves (unless you use WAV format) so even if you end up having to add the files to the main library as new files they will still have your data (but not ratings, or date added, or playlists).

HT4796 how can i merge my pc itunes account with my macbook itunes

I wanna use the migration assisstant but i want it to be on my main mac profile, the migration thing says it will create a new user account (totally effin lame). My question is whats the quickest and easiest way to get my itunes over. I have 45 gb of music, 8 gb of photos, 2 gb of videos and about 6 gb of apps. I have a lot of stuff so i know it will take a while. Im considering using my dads passport harddrive and making a copy then copying it over to the macbook. However I have heard formatting is an issue when going form pc to mac. Blahhh I just want all my data on my mac, on my profile. Thanks a lot if you could help me with this

Thanks for the feedback Ed.
It was 18 months ago now that I moved over so inevitably I've setup a UK iTunes.
With iCloud I now have 3 accounts - UK, Australia and @me.com!
Surely there is a way to combine all three and have one universal password?

How can I delete my iTunes account on my macbook pro. I want to give my computer to someone else

Hi I have just bought a new mac book and have migrated everything accross. I want to delete my itunes account so my husband can put his itunes on the computer. I have deauthorised the computer but my music etc is still say there. Any ideas?

Deauthorising doesn't delete music that already exists on your computer. You'll have to do that manually - assuming you really want to. Deauthorizing means, among other things, 1) any music with DRM, movies, or TV shows on your computer will not play until you reauthorize. Music without DRM will still play. 2) if you have an iPod, iPad, or iPhone you won't be able to sync your applications without first reauthorizing the computer. 3) you won't be able to purchase anything from the iTunes store until the computer has been authorized (with someone's account).

How do I open an additional iTunes account on my MacBook Pro in a foreign country?

I have a iTunes account in America, but now living in Germany and want to purchase items on the German site, can I open an additional account on the same computer? Can you have different accounts in different countries at the same time? I understand you need a foreign address and foreign credit card from that country, but can you have two accounts at the same time? Any additional information would be helpful...

Yes you can have tow accounts.
