Unable to make purchases with my new Mac in iTunes Store.

I am unable to make purchases with my new Mac in iTunes Store.
I can buy with my iPhone or my company lap-top (Windows) without any problems. Only with my brand new MacBook Pro it is impossible.
When I try to authorize my Mac, sure dialog window appears and I give my ID and password. Then I get error message: "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." The same message I get, when I try to deauthorize.
If I try to buy anything (pushing button "Buy"), then I get following error message:
"iTunes couldn`t download your purchase. You don`t have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store--Check for available downloads".
But I have such a permission!!! I can see it!!!
I have even made so, that "everyone" and "staff" also have permission "read and write" in folder iTunes and all subfolders.! :))
When I ask for "available downloads" immediately I get the same answer: " iTunes couldn`t download your purchase. You don`t have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store--Check for available downloads"
I have done:
1. I have used the Terminal to correct the permissions (in Finder it looked correct anyway).                    -          NO Result.
2. With Disk Utility I have verified and repaired Disk permissions. (There were approx. 10-12 incorrect values and 3 of them concerned iTunes and other - Jawa ).           -           NO Result.
3. I have moved all iTunes files in Thrash and installed iTunes again (previously downloaded from App Store ).                    -          No Result.
4. I have verified Disk permissions with Disk Utility again. There was nothing wrong, but in spite of this I have pushed the button "Repair Disc Permissions".          -          NO Result.
5. New installation of iTunes again.           -          No Result.
Can it be, that the reason of a problem are not correct transferred data from my old MacBook?

Hi I am Del
I am trying to rent a movie on my Apple tv keep getting the message - verification required before you can make purchases you must go to the itunes store on your computer and verify your payment information
Thanks

Have you paired your Apple Tv with your iTunes account? That's how rentals and purchases are billed. If, however, you have already done that it is possible that there is a glitch in the system. I've had that happen occasionally and it usually goes away if I reset Apple Tv. On one occasion that I didn't work so I had to go to iTunes and deauthorize and then authorize this computer. Also, check to see if your Home Sharing is on (under File in iTunes). Hope that helps.

Help I have purchased a new laptop with windows 8 and with the new layout of itunes store i cannot find the store menu to authorise it . Any help gratefully received ;)

any ideas on this one - i am slowly loosing the will to live:(

After opening iTunes, you will find a button at the top left corner of the window, so press it. Then, you will see the Store menu or an option to authorize the PC. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610

I just bought a game app for my ipad. I made the purchase with my pc through the iTunes store. Now the game will not sync with my iPad. What can I do?

Help

Your post says "iPad". Does that mean you have an original iPad? Is the iPad running something older than iOS 6? (If it's an original iPad, it must be running something older).
The chances are the game expects you to be running at least iOS 6 on your iPad, and that is why it is not syncing.

Purchasing music from a non-UK iTunes store

I am unable to currently purchase music from a non-UK iTunes store, is there any way to circumvent this restriction??
Thank you.

No, you can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that what you want to buy is added it the UK store, but ultimately it's the record companies that will have to grant Apple license to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is what you want to buy available on other download sites e.g. Amazon, HMV etc ?

Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

I just purchase a brand new mac computer and I need to purchase new adobe CS software for work. Do you know if Adobe CS5 Design Premium-Mac is compatible with new mac computers with the updated Yosemite software? *No previous adobe CS software versions are on this computer

There are known technical issues with any older version on Yosemite, even CS6. Some can be worked out, others may not be relevant to you, some will remain unsolved.

Clean slate with a new Mac

I am in the process of purchasing a new Mac. My existing Mac is an early 2009 MacBook Pro and contains files dating back prior to OS 9 (maybe even back to OS 6). I wish to start with a clean slate with the new Mac and don’t plan on migrating files from the old computer. However, I would like to bring over my Contacts, Calendar and Mail (Accounts only, no mail history). How would I go about doing that?

Replace any Contacts, Calendar, and Mail folders with those from your old computer. Transfer the folders and also the preference files. These latter are located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. If your Library folder isn't visible then:
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.
The Mail and Calendar folders are in the /Home/Library/ folder while Contacts is in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder, but it is called AddressBook.

How do i synchronize ipod nano music with my new mac. v

How do I sync the music on ipod nao with new mac. Itunes library is almost empty. when i sync my empty library on mac will delete all music on ipod

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from your iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs), have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod and onto your computer.

Using An ASD LCD display with a new Mac Mini

I want to utilize a 17" Apple Studio Display with my new Mac Mini.
Does HDMI support the 35-pin Apple Display Connector (ADC)?
It would require an adapter with female 35-pin on one side and a male HDMI (DVI) on the other. The Apple DVI to ADC adapter doesn't work with the Mac Mini HDMI port.
If two adapters are needed they must have the correct gender connections.
Thanks.

Your correct, you would need an Apple DVI to ADC adapter, And ether mini display port to DVI OR HDMI to DVI adapter. (just a question of witch port you want to use)
Apple DVI to ADC adapter when they were first released cost about 120; now they're kind of rare and harder to find. Online they can go for 200 dollars. so 120 to 200 dollars to make your display work; and displays don't last for ever they have parts that will break down. Older displays have a light bulb inside them; witch burn out just like all the other light bulbs in your house.
Also DVI to ADC adapters can some times give you blurry images and or text.
For 120 dollars you can buy a generic brand 19" LCD. That 19" LCD would have better contrast ratio, brightness, and refresh rate then the old 17" monitor. (and it would have a warranty) Or for 200 dollars you could buy 23" monitor.

I tightened all HD screws and it didn't help. With the machine running and side of the case off, I physically stopped both the video card fan and the front case fan with my finger for a couple seconds and the noise continued. I also took all hard drives out one by one and rebooted each time. Again, the noise continued until I took out the Mac HD in Bay 1, rebooted, and I had a very quiet, silent machine. The issue is the hard drive in bay 1 that shipped with the computer, it's without a doubt causing the hum/woosh sound. I still need to know if I can safely swap the Mac HD from bay 1 to bay 4 without any issues to the operating system. I would like to try that to see if it dampens the noise but I also want to make sure this swap won't screw up my machine at all.
