Computer is a Dell Dimension 4600. Loaded all original Software onto new Hard Drive. Diagnostics says all is ok. Connection Wizard cant find anything on puter. otherwise, everything else works fine that I go into. I’ve reloaded software and ran "repairs", and still no luck.

Parents, can you help us(stupid 20 characters rule!)?

Hubby has an assignment for his English class. He has to "invent" something and write a report on it. Being new parents, we came up with software that will tell you what your baby needs when it cries. Lol. It doesn’t have to be realistic, it’s kind of a fun project, I think. Anyway, it will be a baby outfit that will hook up to the computer through a USB. Once the baby begins to cry you just hook up the outfit(with baby in it) to the computer and run the software…it will then run a complete diagnostics test on the baby and let you know why the baby is crying and what you need to do to make baby happy again. This is the outline we came up with…
INTRODUCTION
I. Relate to audience
A. Talk about my experiences with my child
B. Discuss others who have had the same experiences
II. Describe the product I am inventing
A. Software
B. Hardware

BODY
I. Statistics of misinterpretations of baby’s needs
A. Common misinterpretations
II. Describing the software
A. How it works
B. Instructions for use
III. Describing the hardware
A. How it works
B. Instructions for use
IV. Advantages/Disadvantages
A. Advantages
B. Disadvantages
V. Businesses most likely to use product
A. Daycares
B. Foster Homes
C. Social Services

CONCLUSION

We are having a hard time finding the statistics of misinterpretations of baby’s needs…I guess what we were going for here was to see how many parents misinterpret their childs cry from time to time, I’m really not sure. I don’t think we thought it through too well. Any suggestions for where we can find something like that? We have to show our research if we are stating facts so I need the source. We can change it too if you have any other ideas. Actually, any ideas or suggestions you have for the entire project are more than welcome. I’m actually having fun with this:) Thanks!

Itunes Error: “The connection to the server was refused…”?

November 14, 2009

This question has been asked multiple times, and I have read EVERY answer (also googled internet for answer: no luck), and nothing has helped me out so far. I have iTunes (v 7.3.2) and cannot connect to the iTunes store. I get the (very common, it would seem) error that reads: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your netowork is active, then try again."

Here’s what I’ve done that has NOT worked:
-rebooted
-re-downloaded the same version and older versions
-uninstalled/re-installed
-cleared my DNS cache and checked settings with my isp
-run diagnostics
-called my isp again(even though i can connect just fine to the internet)
-rebooted modem/router AND plugged directly into modem
-disabled Windows firewall (and have iTunes allowed anyway)
-there is NO Norton anywhere on my computer, nor any other anti-virus software, so it’s NOT that

Why hasn’t Apple fixed this???

HELP!!!!
