I choose to use a time capsule to initialize my new MacBook Pro. All went well until I tried to use applications bought from the AppStore. Some of them don't start and eventually ask me for my Apple ID. After some time it gives this:
The AppStore gives the same connection failed and the iTunes gives me "The network connection timed out"
I used an external 2.5" USB case. As @Richard suggested above, I also use Carbon Copy Cloner.
Sounds like the permissions are "wrong" or rather the owner is. Click on the folder, press Command+i, in the "Sharing & Permissions:" section (on the bottom) and check if it shows your new user-account on the MBP as owner (first icon) and if the privileges are "Read & Write".
Probably it will show a different user as owner. You could then try to fix the permissions by running Disk Utility, selecting you OS X partition on the left and click "Repair Disk Permissions" - but maybe this won't fix it, then you have to do it using the Terminal.
Maybe someone else can elaborate on that.

Something I didn't know yet but found now looking for an easy fix:
From Troubleshooting permissions issues in Mac OS X
Note: In Mac OS X 10.5 and later, while started up ("booted") from the Mac OS X 10.5 installation disc, a user's home directory permissions can be reset using the Reset Password utility.
resetpasswordCopied from Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password
I didn't try it myself, but hopefully this should reset/repair your home directory permissions.
Maybe even better solution using Finder in normal OS X:
1)23, make your new user the owner, apply to enclosed items
Easiest way, if you're not afraid of the terminal:
Assuming your new user is named harmen
sudo chown -R harmen /Users/harmen
This will make you the owner of everything inside /Users/harmen

Good luck.

It appears that was a problem with the AppStore and iTunes connection but it is working now.
Some applications worked when the connection work, but two didn't work until I deleted the application and let the AppStore to install them again
