When I go to watch a show or movie that I purchased, it will not load. The "loading" screen comes up but it just sits there. There is no problem with my internet connection.

Hey lucy195,
I understand that your MacBook Pro is not charging properly. According to the following article, this symptom may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:
Power
The computer doesn't respond to the power button when pressed.
A portable Mac doesn't appear to respond properly when you close or open the lid.
The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly.
The battery does not appear to be charging properly.
The MagSafe power adaptor LED doesn't appear to indicate the correct activity.
See the above article for steps on resetting the SMC, and what to do prior to the reset.
You may also find this as a good opportunity to reset the NVRAM:

my macair won't turn on. when I try to turn it on, the white screen appears. But instead of the apple logo, there is a flashing folder that has a question mark on it. how do i fix this?
Try this.
Erase and Reinstall OS X
Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
I hope I solved your question.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.

Installed iCloud control panel on my PC but when I enter Apple id and password, the 'wheel' just keeps on turning! ??
You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

Hwy does the little wheel just keep turning when we try to play a show on Netflix or even Crackle? Brand ne Apple TV
Youtube content is highly compressed. The network test on the device is not going to account for issues. If modem/router is at a great distance from ATV then that is going to leave room for issues like interference. Other devices working doesn't rule out a network issue
You can see the status of your network by getting a report at istumbler, netstumbler or similar. It will show signal strength, noise, nearby networks -
C3 vibrates, white screen comes up and it turns of...
I was re-installing my C3's software via Ovi Suite since the Chat wasnt working. And while I was reinstalling on Windows 7(x64) it itself got interrupted and now my C3 wont even start up. Tried everything from taking out memory card to taking out battery connecting the charger etc. All that would happen is the mobile vibrates and the white screen comes up when I try to turn it on.
I have the same problem with my N8 after trying to use the new Nokia suite 3.6.36. When doing this on my laptop, it said that the phone update was successfully completed and that the phone would re-start. Screen was white and 2 and a half hours later, the screen was still white. Will not start no matter what I do.
I contacted Nokie "customer support" and was told that, as my phione was not longer under warranty, they could do nothing. I pointed out that, until I used the Nokia provided software, the phone was fine so it is not a hardware issue. I was then told that there is a disclaimer on the Nokia website, absolving Nokia from all blame if their software causes any problems. In other words no support for a customer. Nokia Care Service centre told me much the same and that the phone is now useless.
I have taken legal advice on this (my cousin is a lawyer specialising in customer rights) and have been advised to take Nokia to the small claims court for recompense which I intend to do. I have been advised that as there was no fault with the phone prior to, and that Nokia effectively used their website to advertise avaialble downloads, they have an obligation to support customers using the facility (next time will be the first time).
Upshot is, beware downloading anything from the Nokia website as it is all at your risk if Nokia software creates any problems with Nokia products.

I attached my HDMI cable to my Samsung Tv. The "classic" apple screen comes up, but not the screen on my MacBook. Therefore I can't access my laptop.
You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor. -
I got a new iPhone 5 when I went to add my music back from the cloud Not on this iPhone Rihanna for some reason will not re load to my new phone the Little wheel just keeps moving nothing ever happens. I turned it off and still nothing
whats up with that I have one beatles song and one kenny chesney alsoMate, I'm trying to find out if it was shipped like that or not. If someone else has had the same issue then I can go back to Apple and have them look into it further. If not then as I said Vodafone is selling second hand phones and they will have to replace the phone.
Vodafone account manager is saying that he has never heard of anything like it.
So I'm left with one of 3 answers.
1: The phone was shipped like that so its a factory error.
2: The Apple genius doesn’t know what he's talking about then I can go back to the store and ask for a second opinion.
3: Vodafone is selling second hand phones as new.
I need to narrow it down so I can deal with the account manager appropriately -
Wheel just keeps on turning on my macbook pro
When I heard a beeping sound alarm (out of nowhere) I panicked and tried to froce quit but could not so I pushed the power button. Able to restart but the wheel just keeps on turning. What can I do. This problem started after I downloaded a site to stream international TV. HELP! And how again do you force quit the correct way?
To Force Quit:
Choose Force Quit off the Apple menu, or type Command-Option-Esc. This brings up a window with all Applications in it, choose the one you want and press the Force Quit button in the window.
To try to fix your troubles now:
Restart your Mac and when the chime sounds, hold down the Shift key. This invokes Safe Mode, which does two things:
1) It does one pass of the equivalent of "Repair Disk"
2) It loads up Mac OS X with a minimal set of extensions and a simple screen reaolution. in hopes that enough is working that you can log in and look around -- maybe move a few files around. If it seems to be working, try restarting without Shift. -
Just purchased a 3rd generation iPad and tried to go thru the startup and connect to the house wi-fi. Found the house wi-fi among the listings and was prompted to enter the WEP security code. Gear wheel just keeps on turning and a connection is never established. I have tried this 4 times with the same results. A desktop computer is connected and I easily connected a Macbook without any issues. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Try Settings, select the network name, click on the blue arrow to Forget This Network and try signing in again.
